Need some good ideas for pranks

[stig]

I know that the brothers here can help me with this because some of you here might be as devious as I am, although I will not point fingers.

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?

Screen shot of the blue screen of death used as their screen saver.

Get 2 long phone cords.

Plug Coworker A's phone into Coworker B's phone jack. And vice versa.

The screen shot of the blue screen of death reminds of a prank that I witnessed.

A couple of co-workers of mine were dueling back and forth with pranks. The one I remember the most involved using a screen shot for the desktop.

Basically one guy got on the other guys computer and took a snap shot of the desktop. He then deleted all of his shortcuts, and then set the screenshot as the desktop. When he took the snapshot he was lucky to get a "You''ve got mail window as well" (Lotus Notes was used for email)

Lets just say when the guy returned and called the help desk and said "None of my shortcuts work and when I click on the 'open new mail' button, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't"

Priceless!

If you are handy with cars & wiring, re-wire the brake lights to the horn...
I'm just sayin'

One of my all time office favorite:
If they are an "index" finger typist and don't know the home keys well, pop the keys on the keyboard and re-arrange them. Keep them close to their original place (move them one over), just in case.
Should be a while before they figure it out.

if they are hunt and peck typers, take the K and the V buttons off of their keyboards and switch them..the keys come off pretty easy and you wont damage the key board.

go in to their computer control panel settings and change the mouse set up to be 'left handed' or make the cursor move really fast/slow

the +342332 prank (only for the hardcore) - exlax in their coffee creamer

one of my favorite EWWWWWW!!! tricks is to glob a bunch of vasolene under a drawer pull or file cabinet pull.

My fav:

Take a screen shot of someone's desktop and then turn it into their wallpaper. Then turn off their desktop icons.

And after exlax in the coffee take clear plastic wrap, lift up the toilet seat, put the plastic wrap over the entire bowl really tight so it looks like normal, put the seat back down and wait for the WTF!

btw commercial grade grade plastic wrap works the best

Short of changing the language, switching to the Dvorak keyboard layout or switching the mouse so the buttons are left handed are little tweaks that can be real annoying.
