What stuff have you done to co-workers at your office? I'll start out with the most recent but I've got a few other ones as well.

2 days ago John at my office complained that my Greek salad smelled too much like garlic and onions and was stinking up the office (WTF, HE's Greek). So I stopped eating it and made him a dozen little styro-foam cups of the stuff and planted them in various drawers nooks and corners of his office and in his desk.

I wasn't here in the morning yesterday but the other people tell me it was hilarious because he thought it was left-over stink from the day before. He walked around spraying air freshener all day until he discovered one of the cups in his drawer.

When he said he found the salad cup, I said "Oh you found one?" His smile faded and he went on an Easter egg-style hunt for the rest of em. He had em all lined up on his desk and kept asking "Are there anymore? ARE THERE ANYMORE???"

Ah I enjoy being back in Toronto.

 

hahahaha that's awesome. I really like that one actually, very creative.

Unfortunately my one and only prank was less creative. I got promoted a couple months back and moved to a new site, so on my last day at work my department manager was on LOA for medical reasons. Me and him have always gotten along really well so I figured I would say goodbye with a bang.

We've always shot the shit about girls...and if you heard this guy talk, you'd be amazed he hasn't been fired. So of course, I got pictures of the fattest, scariest, so-damn-fugly-you'd-jam forks-into-your-eyes kinda girls and taped them up ALL OVER HIS office.

Now getting all those pictures, not so much fun. The scathing email and phone calls I got a week later when he returned to work, well worth it.

Hey...he's not my boss anymore

 

Very nice

At the office a friend of mine works at, someone just got fired for something like that. He posted some naked picture of a huge fat girl on his manager's window facing inward towards the desk, but the thing was still completely visible through the paper to the rest of the people in the office. Clients come through there, there are lots of women of all ages who work there, etc.

Apparently he was just let go for inappropriate conduct. That's just stupid if you don't have that kind of relationship! My bosses and I send stuff and do stuff like that to eachother in privacy, but the second there's someone around who might get offended it's all-business.

A naked fat girl is like a car accident. Just...can't...look...away


Apparently it's early and nobody else is around to post yet so I'll go with story #2. It's not gross or anything, more the kind of prank I'd be inclined to pull on someone I didn't like, kind of a Dwight-type character on The Office.

Back when I worked here out of the Toronto office there was a guy whose desk was against mine so the hutches were between us. After work one day I crawled under his desk and plugged a USB extension in to his computer and plugged a second mouse into it on my desk. For the next year when he was working on his computer I would move the mouse around, sometimes fast, sometimes slow to mix him up. Every time I did it he would start banging his mouse on the desk and making frustrated sounds.

Over the course of the year he replaced his mouse 4 times and complained to everybody that there was something wrong with it. My side-job in the office was being the IT guy so when he had me check it out I "didn't see any issues." He moved across the country to our other office and I soon-after followed. I haven't attempted it again.

 

I work with my father who is 61 and knows 0 about computers. His computer desktop is just 2 or 3 icons, 1 of them being solitare, his favorite game which he plays every chance he can. When he was out of the office, I took a screen shot of his desktop, brought it into Photoshop and filled the whole wallpaper with solitare icons. I then saved that as his wallpaper and randomly put the real solitare icon somehwere in the corner of the screen. He had to click em all to figure out which one really got him to his game.

 

Very nice

 

That is hilarious!, great thread I love it.

 

that is pretty good.

 

A girl at work was leaving for another job so we used a prank from the TV show "The Office" and put her personal desk stuff into jello molds on her last day.

Along the line of your greek salad, whenever someone comes in with a new baby, if the baby soils a diaper with some nasty poo, we hide the used diaper in one guy's office. He hates it. If you get one into his file cabinet on a late friday, his office is pretty bad come monday morning.

Other than that we had an annoying woman who brought in lots of those little christmas things that start to move and sing when you walk by. And she takes them very seriously so messing with them would piss her off.

We would steal the batteries. The singing gyrating santa had a big grin on his face so we like to put santas hands down his pants so would gyrate with hands in pants and big grin. We would place some of the other dolls faces into santas groin so santa would grind around on them, or we would bend a doll over in front of santa. They were all good.

And the last one, when a coworker leaves their office, put a tiny square of scotch tape over the ear piece in the phone. When they come back they will be able to talk but not hear anything from the phone. (this one is best to have coworkers call so you don't screw up business calls)

 

This 1 pain in the ass guy at work was out for a few days. he was bugging me earlier in the week so I decided to play a prank on him. so I did... He's got a desk with one of those drawers for hanging folders. I took the files out and took the draw apart. I attached only the bottom of the draw to the door. When he came back from vacation he went to look for a file and when he pulled the draw out all the files fell and made a mess in his office. Took him 3 days to get everything back together. To this day he didn't know what happened. I came back at night and put the draw back together so it looked liek the draw screwed up.

 

A guy in our office is a huge Raiders fan. A couple years back when they lost in the super bowl to the bucs, we went into his office and posted Buccaneers stuff all over the place. I'm in the IT dept so we found a flash animation of a Buccaneer pirate ship shooting and sinking a Raider's pirate ship and placed in his login startup file. For a month everytime he logged in would have to watch that animation. He had to beg us to take it off.
Funny stuff.
