Mexican Hijacking

Something that fails miserably to meet expectations. Originates from the hijacking of a Mexican airplane on September 9, 2009, in which a plane was hijacked by a group who claimed to have a bomb but instead had an empty box wrapped in brown paper.

I though Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull would be good but it sucked. It was a Mexican Hijacking.

printer hijacking

At college in dorm rooms lots of people have wireless printers. You can print off of anyone's printer and they will never know who printed. Printing naughty things is particularly amusing.

"Hey Josh, your printer is spitting out an image of a woman getting boned by a horse!"

"Jesus, I'm a victim of printer hijacking!"

"Haha, gotcha!"
