Office Pranks

Has anyone here ever committed a few office pranks? Have you ever gotten a whole office pranking one person?

Im a horrible prankster. I used to steal this co workers stuffed monkey each morning and hide it somewhere within the office. She would bust out laughing when she found him somewhere eyeing her.

The joke with the monkey was, that he looked like a male coworker we all found really annoying. So to have the evil monkey watching you (like the co worker loved to do) was frightening lol.

We had one person in our office who was ALWAYS 5 minutes early. She was never ever late. It was so annoying because she would be undone when the rest of us where there *on time*.

So, one day, we all planned to get in before her. We changed every single clock in the office to be one hour later. We got the day started, and things were rolling when she came walking in.

We all gave her the HARDEST time about being late! She was so flustered, and said she wasn't late.. and made up something about working from home. She was floundering!

It was great.... she is so easy to pick on.

I worked at a call center where the fulltimers had their own desks and the us parttimers used theri desks at night. People were forever putting candy in their drawers. So, I would take the candy and put a few quarters in the desk to pay for it. I would rearrange their drawers and trade pens and pencils with the desks next to me. Perfecty harmless, but fun.

I have replaced someone's solder with a paperclip, that confused him for a while

There was also the brussel sprouts incident (think artillery and trench warfare), some cardboard tube duelling, ballistic oranges, explosive capacitors, projectile foam cleaner, freeze spray ambushing, photoshopped posters of co-workers... etc.

Its amazing we have time to do any work really

I once pushed one of my colleague, who decided to play along, seconds later he was lying on th floor with me faking stomps on him.....would have been interesting if some outside people would have been visiting that day

Customer visits are the best timing for that kind of thing

Gain the attention of your superiors!

Well, it shows...camaraderie. It's much better than giving the cold shoulder at every single coworker.
