Like many homeowners, my SO and I keep a hidden set of spare keys outside the house. She likes to use them so she doesn't have to carry her set of keys while bicycling or running, and when, coming back from shopping loaded down with grocery bags, she doesn't have to dig into her purse.

The other day I noticed that she had left those keys on the kitchen table, instead of returning them to their hiding place outside. When she returned home, I was in the kitchen. She knocked on the kitchen's sliding glass doors to get my attention, and gestured that she needed me to open the door.

I picked up the spare/hidden keys from the kitchen table, opened the door, gave her the keys, and when she turned to put the keys in their designated place, I locked the door.

After all, she wanted entry, and now she had the keys.

She said "I'll get even".

Maybe more of a prank than malicious, but I was allowed only an IMAGE in r/pranks.
