I love this one; but, instead of using a screen shot, copy the desktop (ALT + Print Screen (next to F12)) and put it for wallpaper; then delete all the folders (so they still are visible, but are only an image, hence ye can't click on 'em); and hide the start bar, so that, that too, is just an image. Lastly, ye can create a folder and put it in the desktop and make another in it, and another in it, and so on so forth.

Man you guys are a bunch of pranksters huh?!?! I try to keep things simple such as:

tape over the optical part of their mouse so they think it's not working...(If they still have the roller ball that works too)

Send an email from their PC and show then you sent it to someone important but change one letter in the name so it doesn't actually receive and then delete the "Message did not reach receipt" before they get back.

Adjust their seats (assuming it's fully adjustable) to the highest/lowest setting and also so that when they lean back it actually goes all the way. (Even funnier when they lean back with something in their hand)

Cover their trash bin with plastic wrap so if they try to throw something out it bounces away.

OK, now I am just feeling my office is very mean. There have been raw hamburgers stuck to the backside of furniture. You get a wierd smell for a few days, then it's like someone died. We have taken the logo of a team that you do not support, Made a few hundred copies and covered every part of the office. Then so the gift keeps on giving, take some of the sheets of paper and put them into their printer. So from time to time they get one sheet of paper with the logo on their work stuff. We have taken all the ceiling tiles down and stacked them neatly on top of their desk.
We've moved someone completely out... EVERYTHING. When they came in Monday morning give them the "what are you doing here, we got an email you have left the company"
We had one guy who could not smell and liked to work with his door closed. 4 peach air fresheners in there while he was at lunch, re-closed the door.
One office had a pink stripe painted.

Take the dots from a bunch of hole punchers, put them in envelopes, and tape the bottom of the envelope (top part open) to the inside of the upper cabinets (works best in cubicle farm)...when they open them, it's raining paper...

I had those dang things in folders and files for two years at least!

Take 2 feet of tie wire and bend it into a U shape.

Take U shaped wire and slip it into the rear yoke and over the U joint in their car or truck.

When they drive the wire will start making a god awful noise as it strikes the exhaust and other things under the car.

The faster they drive, the worse it sounds, but it doesn't hurt anything and can be set up in 5-10 seconds.

Yeah, look at your seat before you sit down, if they didnt put thumb tacks or pins on there or crazy glue. your boss dosnt put cameras to catch you and get you fired.

Recently here in my office a group of about 6 dfferent people started pulling pranks on one another almost daily and I have sat back and watch these amatures long enough. On a spur of the moment decision while the the entire office was in a meeting for 45 minues I went and rigged up booby traps on 5 out of six of the desks and then removed everything I could from the 6th desk in about 5 minutes and also hid that in the other 5 desks. I sat back for several days and listened to each of them moan about how they were going to retaliate aginst one another and they all went as far as to tell me what they were going to do and what they have already done to each other. Fast forward a week and I think that several of them have caught on and yesterday tried to rig my desk with about 9 different traps, all of which I found and disarmed without any becoming a problem since I already knew what to look for.

I know that they are pplanning to try and get me back, which is fine, I would expect nothing less; however I was wondering if any of you have any ideas for good pranks or jokes to play on any of them. I have several idaes but most are a bit over the top and won't get used unless someone escalates things to that level. I have a feeling that someones car is going to get shrink wrapped in the upcomming weeks though.

Any ideas?

This is a prank we pulled at Intel when someone was gone on sabbatical.

We got a cubicle wall and filled in the slot for the door. Next we put a cardboard "roof" on the cubicle, but about 4" below the top of the walls. All the cubicle contents are now below the cardboard. Next, we filled above the cardboard with styrofoam peanuts. This made is look like we filled his cubicle with peanuts, which is a mean joke because you will never get all the junk out. After about 2 hours of fuming, he checked how deep the peanuts were and suddenly we weren't on a death wish list anymore.

In the end, lots of laughter. In the beginning, not so much.

Then there's the really cold, machinist's variation...use some prussian blue from a hardware or industrial supply store instead of vaseline. That stuff take FOREVER to wash out!

A classic shop prank was to put prussian blue on a telephone earpiece or (really cold) around an eyepiece of, say, a jeweler's loupe.

You have to step on the brake to put it in reverse so they will notice right away, I always did it to the blinkers.

[replicant_argent]

if they work some distance away from your desk...


Go to the fish market. Buy a whole raw squid. remove the seat from their desk to access the seat tube.
Insert said squid.
Best on Monday if the marine life is inserted on Friday, or it has a 3 day weekend to percolate.


Not that I would know.
Or take part in such a vile, dastardly deed.

One that I enjoy doing around to office is take some scotch tape and put it under the the mouse if they have the ball roller. Remove the batteries from the mouse if it's the newer version.

If it's a girl ? Go to a pet shop and by a live white feeder mouse or two put it in her desk draw.

Youl tell us the rest of the story.....
