Default 10 Classic Office Pranks That Never Get Old

http://mashable.com/2013/01/16/office-pranks/



1. The Phony Phone Message

Find the number for your nearest zoo. Give your colleague a message to call and ask to speak with Mrs. C Lyon.



2. Suspect Signature

Change a colleague's email signature to read "Lots of love and hugs, [Their Name]."



3. Noise Pollution

Hide a wireless doorbell in your colleague's office/cubicle/desk. Keep ringing it.



4. New Folder

Make your colleague a new folder on his or her desktop. Label it for maximum embarrassment. "My Nudey Pics" works well.



5. The Coin Trick

Stick a coin to the floor in a busy area of your workplace. See how many people bend down to pick it up.



6. Remote Control

Get a wireless mouse with a tiny USB receiver and plug it into your colleague's computer. Give the mouse a wiggle every now and then.



7. Heavy Handset

Find some double-sided sticky tape. Tape your colleague's phone handset down to the base. Dial his number and watch as the entire phone lifts up when he answers.



8. Wrong Number

Collaborate with colleagues to phone your victim repeatedly asking for "Bill." At the end of the day, get someone to call pretending to be Bill asking if there are any messages for him.



9. Sticky Pens

Super glue your colleague's pens to her desk. It's simple, but very effective.



10. Bieber Fever

Finally, why not "decorate" a colleague's office/cubicle/desk with images of The Bieb? They'll secretly love it.


Need to do some of these. What are some other good ones?

^ Actually that would be really easy to do, just set windows to open Word or notepad when Ctrl+Shift+W is pressed, then start typing



If they have the red laser optical mouse you can stick a piece of scotch tape over the laser, and the mouse wont move when they try to use it.

Had to try this out. Installed nCage last night on the home PC and convinced the wife for over an hour that in honor of Nicolas Cage birthday all the images on Tumbler were changed to those of Nicolas Cage.









I personally like newspaper mummifying someone's cube.



A few months ago (don't ask why) one of the guys at work was talking about pooping in someone's drawer in revenge to a prank. So that night I melted a Mr. Goodbar into a log, added some kernels of canned corn, placed the lump on a slab of paper with just a drop of "liquid ass" for odor and slipped that into his cube. The resulting lulz are that of legend.
