Prank call boss at the same time everyday for months with Cat Facts
Make an annoying co-worker's number appear on his caller id
Sit back and watch the hilarity

Someone had posted taking a screen shot of someone's desktop, then move all icons into one folder inside of "my documents" and make the screen shot their desktop wallpaper.

I had a coworker at my last job that was just too easy to prank. A few guys and myself would prank her on a weekly basis. Our best was this:
- we found a way to create a link on her desktop that would shut her computer down.
- we disguised the link with the internet explorer logo.
- we put a 10 second delay on it.
- every time she would try to get on the Internet it would wait 10 seconds and then shut her computer down.

Every time she would ask us something we would tell her to google it. This went on for a few hours before she realized we were screwing with her. Needless to say she was none too happy with us.

If they're a "hunt and peck" typer, I'll rearrange the keys on their keyboard.

I'll tell them that someone (usually a manager) needs to see them in their office. When the manager never asked to see them.


Some more sinister ones that have been pulled:

Create a macro on their outlook that replaces one word with another. For example; have the word "tool" replaced with "black cock". This guy sent an email out asking for tools only to see he was asking black cocks

Connect the vent fan in the men's bathroom to the vent in their office. To sweeten it, I brought in Mexican food for the office that day.

Buy 100 crickets at the pet store and let them loose in someone's office. I got burned on this one. I can still hear crickets months later.

Take something off their desk. Go to various spots around town, taking pictures of the item. Then send them the pictures from random phone#'s/emails. The owner of the company pulled this one. Had this guy go to Twin Peaks, Hooters, the strip club, and finally a sex shop. Little did he know the owner had people at each location in on the joke. So the guy comes back, and the owner asks why he was at Twin Peaks, Hooters, the strip club and a sex shop when he should've been at work

My law partner is recently divorced at 45 and loves bourbon.

So when I get the call around 9:30am to let me know he is running late I know what to do.

I hide an open pint of Old Charter in his office until he begs me to tell him where it is. Never gets old.

None because I'm not an immature, unprofessional hack. I actually have goals and aspirations,

Put a paperclip under a sheet of paper on the copier and make a few copies. Load those into the paper supply tray. Watch someone make copies and try to figure out where the paperclip that is appearing on their copy/printout is.

Peanut butter on the phone earpiece.

If a coworker leaves their computer unlocked, go make some creative autocorrect entries in Outlook or Word.

Somebody did that with a dead duck. Best part is the pranksters didn't know the guy was going on vacation for a week. Duck guts leaked all in his drawer, and the office smelled awful for a week after they got rid of the drawer. Had to put the pranks on hold for a little while after that.

Years ago I disconnected the water feed line from the overflow pipe in our bathroom. I placed the lid on top of the line with it pointing at the back of whoever sat down. Our safety guy was a creature of habit and always stopped by there in the morning. When he flushed the toilet it blasted him in the back until he figured out what was causing it. Dude was not a happy camper.

And the phone pranks...

Leave a message from Mr Lyon...
Leave the number of the zoo

In the military we use Maj Storm
And leave the number to ops' weather (a shop)

There's about a billion others like the "over the phone PT test"

And the over the phone dental exam...AKA
Telephone Automated Remote Dental Diagnoses
or TARD-D

Go into the control panel on their PC to reverse the way the buttons on their mouse work, what used to be left is now right.

Also slow down the scrolling speed of their mouse to the slowest possible setting.

Change their screensaver or PC background to a very questionable photo.

I used to zip tie a febreeze spray and throw it into the next cubicle.

I'd also ductape the laser on the bottom of mouse.

Done this sort of. Took the chair apart. Stuffed the pedestal with fresh shrimp. It took a few days, but it worked. It took even longer to pinpoint it.

I laughed way too much at that ridiculously stupid post.

Well done.
