re: Your go-to office pranks

So, there was this guy in the office whose hair started falling out in clumps due to some disease, and he was always talking about how his doctor was trying to figure it out. Well, we used some mildly radioactive materials on that job site (but he was never around it). We got some other material that looked like the radioactive stuff, put radioactive markings on it, taped it to the bottom of his chair, then found a reason to get him to turn the chair over. The ensuing investigation caused us all to behave ourselves for several weeks.

I'm a prank phone call guy. I'm pretty good with various voices and have pulled off some good ones.

List Co-Workers car on Craigslist for sale for an unbeatable price. Leave their office number as the contact info. Let hilarity ensue throughout the day as multiple people call asking about a car for sale.

Screen shot their desktop, delete their shortcuts, hide start menu, set screen shot as background picture.
ETA: drewnbrla beat me to it. This is my favorite office prank to do. Others I've done it email gay love emails to other coworkers from someone who left their outlook open. Zip tie on the phone cord to shorten it so they yank the phone off their desk when they answer it. Switch keys around on their keyboard.

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.
I've done this one. Hilarious.
Also put an annoyatron in a co-workers office, it goes off every 5 minutes.... Left it in his office for a month because he's a fricking prick. He dismantled his workspace but could never find it.

Years ago a guy in my office drove a Yugo. One day when he went to lunch with someone else, we put it on the sidewalk outside his office.
We had a guy that played tricks on everyone else to the point where one time his sister called and thought we were part of one of his tricks because we told her he wasn't there. One day after he'd left the office, our GM had some of us pack up all of his belongings in a box and leave it on his desk. He came in the next morning and went into the GM's office. The GM had him sit down and was giving him some kind of story about letting him go. We all gathered behind where the guy was sitting outside the GM's glassed in office and laughed at him.
I worked for 27 years selling print advertising. Before caller ID and other technology, it was easier to mess with people. When new people got through their probationary period, my employer would let them receive incoming calls. After the prankster from my last story left and started his own business, we used to get him to call in and pretend to be someone wanting to run ads for their business. Normally, the new sales guys would be giving the whole sales floor a running play-by-play of what he told them. Once he told a guy he was coming to the office to meet with them. He call back a little later and say he couldn't find the office. Told him he was at a pay phone up the road somewhere. The sales rep volunteered to come there and let the guy follow him back to the office. About 20 minutes later, the guy came back in the office shaking his head at us. He told the whole sales floor he knew what we did and it wasn't the first time someone had done that to him. He was by far the dumbest guy they ever hired.

Anybody say shite on Brenda's desk yet?

We had a guy that was super easy to prank, so we did all sorts of stuff to him. Some of my favorites...
A simple but funny one was when we took a wireless mouse and plugged the usb receiver into the back of his docking station. We kept the mouse in our coat pocket and would just randomly move it throughout the day. He got pretty pissed off that his computer was acting up and called the help desk. We never told him about that one.
We had a company mandate to turn off our monitors when we left at night to save energy. If you didn't, they left a slip on your monitor the next morning to remind you. We collected a few of the slips and kept warning this guy to shut off his monitor. After the 3rd time, we left a note that he had to attend a mandatory all-day 'energy conservation workshop'. Then we got some guy to call his cell phone and leave a message confirming his reservation. He got pretty pissed about that one.
He gets super paranoid about people watching him and being spied on, so we took a box of paper towels, ripped a hole in it, then put a webcam underneath the paper towels and sticking out of the hole. Then we put the box in the corner of his desk and ran the cord out the back of the box and into a drawer that we locked and took the key for. We came in the next day and he had somehow ripped it out and the webcam was never seen again. He was still pretty paranoid about it, so he kept working it into conversations trying to get us to admit it, but we never did.
He tried playing a prank on one of us by just spreading salt all over our desk. Not funny and just a terrible prank in general. We took the salt shaker and put it inside of a ziploc bag along with a paper slip template from the investigative unit within our company filled out. We said that someone filed a complaint for work-loss due to abuse of personal property or something, had a case number, and said that it was under investigation for who caused it. He was actually pretty nervous about that one which was awesome.

We used to screw with a buddies phone. Tape down the buttons that hangs up the phone. He was working on a very important project with decently high up regional managers calling him often. He'd pick up but the phone just kept ringing. He missed several calls. It was more how important they were that was funny. Also we had long cords on the phine. Taped it together so that you had to talk with your head 4" from the unit or you would rip it across your desk. Same issue, he really needed to take the call. So you hear his phone crashing across the desk, then him talking with his head crouched over to the phone.
Another guy super glued a quarter to the floor by his desk. That was pretty funny.

my favorite thing to do is when a coworker leaves their phone and walks away, i like texting one of the employees nobody likes(preferably a woman) and asking them to call them asap and they really need to talk to them
its always great to listen in on the guy getting a call from a colleague and make small talk wondering why the f*ck they are calling them

Placed a pair of boots with coveralls on them in the only bathroom stall in the building for 3 days. Guys kept having to get someone to cover for them while they went to crap in another building until one of them looked over the stall.
Make signs that say free coon meat and put someones cell number on them. Put them up and down Plank and Scenic in north Baton Rouge. The phone call will never stop.

I also signed the office atheist up for the prayer of the day text that had no unsubscribe option. He finally changed his number because they bothered him so much.

I tied a fake snake to the inside door handle of our driver's truck using fishing string. when he opened it first thing in the morning it came lunging at him. I thought he was going to have a heart attack.
