What's a harmless/non-serious secret you've kept forever?

it reads:
I used to live in a dorm hall when I was an undergrad.
There was this one guy in the dorms who had a mat outside his door. I always thought it was a little weird because:
1. You had to walk a long way through carpet to get to the door, so your shoes would surely be mostly clean by that point, and
2. Anyone could just simply take it.
I kinda just assumed someone would steal it eventually, but after about a month, I noticed it was still there. I obviously wasn't going to steal someone's stuff, but I did want to mess with it, so I simply moved it to the door across the hall. The next day, I saw it had been moved back, so I decided to move it across the hall again. I did this for an entire year. Sometimes they'd give up and leave it at the other door for a week, then I'd just move it back to fuck with them. I loved the idea that it surely led to some sort of argument between the two neighbors because nobody is gonna think some guy is just randomly deciding to fuck with them for no reason.
I iterally never met either of the people that lived in those rooms. I just kept messing with their mat.
I had some special moments with it too. On Christmas, I replaced the mat with a Christmas one and then put the original one back the next day. On Easter, I bought the cheapest, shittiest Easter basket I could find and filled it with granny candies like Werthers and those strawberry candies, then I "hid" it under the mat. At one point, I bought a second mat to just sometimes put at both doors, then take the second mat away randomly. Eventually I moved into an apartment and couldn't mess with them anymore though. They never got to find out wtf was going on.
