Title: office pranks...
Post by: Void Dweller on September 26, 2006, 11:46:24 PM
(1)Today the cube across from me left his desk without logging out/locking his PC.  An 'associate' and i quickly linked his PC to a "happy" online music station, put his internal speaker full blast, disconnected his mouse and wrapped it around his chair in as many knots can be tied with a mouse cord , locked his PC then disconnected the keyboard.

village people and elton melodically echoing in the office upon his return.... :laugh:

Too bad he couldn't just pull the plug, since he was working an a machine upgrade.

(2) Clear Scotch tape on the phone works good too.
*ringaly ringaly* "hello? Hello?..." hang up.  Few seconds later, "Johnson! get in my office!"

(3) Another cubicle slave was going to class after work, soooo, we ran down to wally world on lunch and bought the biggest pair of ladies undies and wrapped his books in them while his bag was unattended.

(4) This was an elaborate one for a guy retiring.  He had some tall boxes next to his desk.  So we hooked up a vac/blower to his chair by a string.  Hid the vac. in the box.  When he pulled the chair, the vac switched on and all the popcorn packaging flew out everywhere.

I've got a coon tail at home I have to bring in and string to someones chair and maze around their desktop or rubber band a trigger.... ;)

Anyone have some more ideas?

I'm not a real supervisor, i just play one on TV.

We used to have some wild ones when I worked for sharp, we ate one of the sales guys mars bars and stuck the packet to the roof, that started an all out war between him and another sales guy that has no idea what was going on, one of the boys put detergent in his portable aircon and filled his office with bubbles. Then one night on the sly I grabbed one of the other techs mobile phone and sent a txt to a homosexual guy that we had working for us and wrote lets meet up  next minuite the boyfriend rang up the tech and abused the crap out of him, I nearly got smashed and thats when I decided I had crossed the line of practical jokes. Still get the first year apprentises though.

It's more fun to disassemble the phone and remove the spring that raises that little "on" switch thing that I can't remember the name of right now. There's NO WAY yer answering it then.'

there's also the 36 rolls of toilet paper in the cube. THAT'S ALWAYS fun.

For an office with a window... buy some paperboard or a yard garbagebag and some packing peanuts. Tape the board/bag to the window so it covers all of it, but leave the top open. Fill the "space" you just created with the peanuts. Lock the door and leave.

Other fun is... airfresheners in the ceiling tiles. Esp. ones near vents.

Glue EVERYTHING to the desk using hot melt glue.

Tame I know... but still. :) It's usually the tame ones that frustrate the most. Most of these have either been done to my boss by me or to me by others. Loads of fun.

Or, what about putting someone's stapler in jelly, or in fact, anything in jelly.

And also the wrapping everything in foil too.

heh... working midnight shift, Michael [co-worker] and I put a lifesize Recusitation Annie doll [okay so I can't spell mannequin, and i am too lazy to google] in a co-worker's truck cab, propped it up so it would fall when the door was opened, and asked Bill (the recipient of the drama) to get us one of his "special" tools, cos we were "working on an oxygen tank" and needed a phillips head screwdriver)... and he went out there, opened the cab, and the mannequin fell out on him, we heard this super huge scream, and him coming back in cussing us all out, ferociously.. and we just DIED laughing...Poor Bill

hmmm glad wrap over the commode, poor Bill...   =]


uhhh ky jelly under his truck door handle... THAT one was great... *again* poor Bill....


OH and we've done this and lots of variants of this one.... different times, rooms, etc...

heh.

[set up] some one died in this room RECENTLY (I work in a nursing home) like iono an hour or so ago? Then we send one of the cna's in there to put on the call light.. k...

[meanwhile, we send someone in the room, behind the door]

We then send the scaredy cat cna in there to "shut the call light off" cos it seems to be haunted, and keeps turning on, and "we need you to  turn it off from inside the room on the wall switch"... unsuspecting cna walks in, person pops out fron behind the door, and we clean up the cna after she craps herself... muwahahhaaha... again, this worked WELL on poor Bill....


last one, I promise [for now]

Send cna in to clean up "pt X" who's obviously in a "mess" ... The knowing CNA sends her out to the laundry cart to get the linnen required for the patient's cleaning...[kinda like a huge moveable closet, with flaps as doors]... she goes out, into the cart, opens flaps, reaches hand inside to get the required linnen, and another cna that's hiding inside there grabs her hand/ankle/leg whatever she can and [ohno], we have to change yet *Another* cna's diaper for her cos she's messed herself.....did it to Bill once, and well, that was enough, cos he hit us that time.... but worked WELL....


AH the joys of nightshift.....

my cousin once glad wrapped his youth pastor's car. Only problem (for the pastor) is that it was done on Saturday night at his house. Needless to say... he was late for church BIG TIME.

Put a paper clip on the photo copier and make a few (or a lot) of copies (enlarge if you want) the place them randomly back into the tray with the blank paper or into a separate printer. The best is when people print off big reports and staple them together and hand them out in a meetings and there are random paperclips all over the place in the report.

And a paper clips is tame should your imagination happen to run wild.

speaking of which... just connect all the paper clips in a box and walk away.

There is a husband and wife at my office - both of them work for our company. Whenever the wife walks away from her computer, if she isn't careful to lock it, her husband is always up to something. The last one I know of, he typed an email to another one of our colleagues of the homosexual persuasion, from his wife's email, saying she thought he was sexy. Good thing he knew it was a joke. It was HILarious.

Back when i worked radio, had this receptionist who was timid. I would pop out from behind corners and scare her every time. Once she threw an unstapled daylog(50 or so pages) in the air all scattered around. I helped her pick that one up ;). One day there was a snake at the front door. I caught it and took off inside after her. She didn't like that to much nor did anyone else lol. My current job is to much busy work to pull pranks. :-\

in the military were would always send people off to fetch non existant items... like chemlight rechargers, etc.

There also programming fax machines to call someones phone and then repeat until the fax goes though... we accidently had a fax (again in the military) dial some customer service number every 5 minutes for 3 months... it stopped only because we got rid of the machine...

DUDE!!!!! DON'T EVER DO THAT!!!! If my brother-in-law is telling the truth (big if), that takes effect in less than a minute... and it's BAAAAAAAD mojo! He's done it to several ppl including prissy girls. They basically had stuff running down their legs after the unexpected "explosion" IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARTY and never even stood a chance.

Not an offic prank, But I put a kids paddling pool through a letter box in a front door of an appartment. THEN blew it up, THEN poured lots of water in it via a few buckest, funnel and length of pipe.

Some students took all the stuff out of someones 3rd or 4th floor appartment and put it all in a ground floor room.
They then took him straight from class & got him blind drunk.
Carriaed him home later, put him in the lift (elevator), up to the top & back to the gound floor then threw him in "his appartment" to sleep it off.
Early the next morning they burst in while he's asleep, pull him out of bed and throw him out of the window....
He thinks he's up on the 4th floor!!!

Yeah, the old Red vs. Blue one (from Season 1): "Hey Rookie (aka Donut), go to the store and get some elbow grease we need some for the warhog - oh and some headlight fluid", The rookie runs off to impress his new superiors, mutters to himself [some way off] "Man, elbow grease! How dumb do they think I am, just wait till they see me come back with that headlight fluid!"
