The owner of our company had a stuffed seabird up near the ceiling of one corner of his office.
We had an a-hole Australian sales manager who was out of town. We found the tackiest multicolored plastic inflable bird and hung it in the same location in his office. He came back and freaked out. We had only hung it that morning, but told him it had been up all week.
He went to the President and tried to explain about his bird, which the Pres had never seen.

Coated the headband of a fellow worker's hardhat with Never Cease. And also, the ear piece of the shop's telephone. We all watched and laughed, as the annoying guy discovered the wonders of a lubricant!

I left small cups of milk in random locations as I left the worst place anyone has ever worked. Places like the back of a never used file cabinet, above a celing panel and the top shelf of a supply closet.. The great thing about this is the delay.

The smell stayed around for months as they never found all the places.

About 40 years ago in the warehouse I was at we had a hispanic guy named Tony Gomez, wore thick rimmed glasses and had a bushy moustache. One of the guys went to a joke shop and bought a dozen of those fake glasses with nose and moustache. Brought them to work on a Friday and handed them out. Told everyone to be ready at lunch.

Gets on the intercom system and says " Tony Gomez report to the shipping dock" We all put them on and go walking out there. Tony shows up, looks around sees everyone standing there. Turns around goes to the office said he was going home sick .

Monday transferred to another building.

I try to find it every so often. We drove that sumbitch crazy...his reaction to the dead crickets in his office was priceless. Like he'd defeated an entire army by himself.

But it was even better when it chirped again.

My mom works at a dental office. On April Fool’s day she would put numbing gel on people’s lipstick or chapstick. I thought that was pretty good.

In auto repair shops, charge up an old school ignition condenser an leave it on the parts counter. Someone will pick it up, when you touch the body and wire end it will shock you pretty good. Only worked on younger mechanics!

Left a floater in the men’s room everyday for about a month. Then the stories of the “crazy crapper” began to make the rounds much to my chagrin. The tales began to be embellished into “huge” and “record setting”. I added to the stories by saying I encountered the same on the 3rd floor to take the focus off of the 1st floor and perhaps getting caught.

You’re just bitter because no one likes you a wishes you would go away. I’ll bet when you were a kid your mom would sit your high-chair in the corner and feed you with a sling shot just to get as far away from you as possible.

The funniest, used to have a local radio broadcast called the trading post where people would call in and tell whatever they had for sale. This is before facebook.

Told them we had 10 goats to give away and gave them a coworkers number. His phone rang non stop for hours

I was the office trivia buff, one of the guys was avid golfer, all he talked about was his golf game. One morning he said there was trivia contest on a radio station, prize was a round for 2 at a country club course, he told me the question, I gave him the answer, he wanted me to call the station because he had a meeting. I agreed.

I had the correct answer, but I was too late. When he came out of the meeting, I told him I won, they would send me a letter to use at the clubhouse. I forged a letter on fake stationary for the country club. Of course, he and a golf buddy show up on the appointed day, the people at the clubhouse told him to beat it.

He came in Monday pissed, he swore I'd never get him with one of my pranks again. How wrong he was.

The year is 1982. Construction site at what used to be Borden Chemical. Pipefitter General Foreman would always go into the porta potty to crap just before noon and the lunch break. He had pissed off the teamsters, not a good idea. He goes into the porta potty, teamster backs up a pick up truck so that the bumper is not quite touching the porta potty, took the keys and went to lunch. In 5 minutes we started hearing the screaming. Took pity on him and found the spare keys so he could get out. The month was August and the porta pottys had not been cleaned for a week. He got the message.

Stuck a white styrofoam wig head on a broom, attached a hospital gown on a coat hanger to the back of it, leaned it against the vacuum cleaner in a dark broom closet.

The janitor discovered it when he flipped the light on at 5 AM.

That was in a funeral home.

Were you the guy from here who put an annoyatron in his coworker's office?


That is a top 5 thread in TD.COM history

One of the funniest things I remember about that thread, was when his coworker was losing it, he put a few dead crickets in his office in random visible spots so the guy wouldn't lose it and would fall deeper into the prank.

I have plenty of hobbies, just not those of children. Just this year I’ve been to Australia, Mexico, and the Dominican internationally. All over domestically, and done a 80.3 triatholon and Hyrox among other things. Been a great and busy year with Lake Tahoe for Christmas still to come.

Have fun in your DR Horton outside Birmingham playing with your toys though

A guy was worried when he dug up an old phone line in his yard.

Called the sheriff and had him prank arrested for not calling 811
