Remind me not to work with you.

At one place I worked we had cabinets above our desks.  When a coworker was away - we'd open their cabinet and tape a sheet of computer paper (perforated) along the length of the cabinet leaving a space at the top.  Then in that space we'd cram as many empty pop cans as we could fit in the cabinet.  Close the cabinet door and pull off the tape and paper.  Then listen for the avalanche of pop cans the first time they opened their cabinet.

Last time I got back from vacation, everything in my office was wrapped with brown craft paper/packing paper. Took me about 20 minutes to unwrap my chair.

Time before that, I was out for an extended vacation, trying to use the days instead of loose them, and when I got back, someone changed the nameplate on my door to read guest office.

One time a coworker was gone for the week. He was terrified that another coworker would jack with his office (they had this running thing going and the other guy was coming into town). So he locked his office - something we never did.

So we broke into his office and took all of the legs off of his furniture, without ever disturbing anything. When he walked in the following monday, his entire office was perfectly arranged at knee height. Took us 30 minutes to take it apart - him all day to put it back together.

We used to scotch tape the button down on the phone where the receiver goes. Person picks up the receiver but the phone keeps ringing....

I work intermittently for my husband, who is a Dr. When he hired a new office manager, and she was somewhat comfortable in her position, mailed her a letter from the State Medicaid Fraud Division stating that she was under suspicion for billing and coding fraud. She was instructed to call their offices immediately. The fun part was the telephone number in the wonderfully fake letterhead was the number to a phone sex service. Very fun stuff!!!!

We like to take computer illiterate peeps and do things like program a bunch of autocorrect words. Like for example, everytime the word "and" appears it will autocorrect to say "I'm hot" or everytime the word "the" appears it may say "screw you"

The best is when you pick a word that is not used regularly. It'll take them a while to figure that out. Of course our IT guy is usually in on it so he doesn't get mad when the person calls him in desparate frustration to fix it.

We also have a plether of magnetic bumperstickers that get recycled every 4-5 years. One says "I love porn" the other says "I masturbate"

Those are a little too hardcore for me. I stay out of those pranks.

We also have an employee of the month presentation. Someone's picture will go up with a fictional acceptance speech beside it. The pics get photoshopped. It's pretty funny.

I like the kidnapping office equipment prank.  For example, you "kidnap" the three-hole punch and post ransom notes that say the punch will be sold in to slavery in a Chinese notebook paper plant if the ransom isn't paid or that the punch will be drowned in a punch bowl.   I go for the harmless stuff.  Pictures of the incarcerated punch are always good.

I used to work with a real anal SOB... Funny guy, but too up-tight.... I swear the guy spent more time organizing stuff than working....

So, I went to the grocery store while he was on vacation and bought a whole fish, maybe 7 inches long. Don't know what kind it was, but it was grayish and a little shiny.. It went in his office..

It remained very dead and began to sink over the next few days. When he returned to work, he spent over an hour tearing his office apart to figure out where the smell was coming from..

He finallly found it right where a fish should be. Filed in his file cabinet as "Fish, Dead"

We just have a nerf foam-dart gun at our office. You will find yourself shot at the most inconvenient times (when talking to managers... etc).

We once sent our sports writer a fake press release saying our university was going to be Division I in football. (We were a DII school). He freaked and called pretty much everybody he knew. We stopped him shortly before he called the athletic director to confirm.

Good times.

I rigged a coworkers chair so that when she moved it to sit down, a can of compressed air would spew confetti in her face...hopefully scaring her at the same time...Of course she did it while talking to our boss...his only reaction was, I saw Mike under your desk, now I know what he was doing.  Same coworker, I hid under the corner area of her desk, and when she sat down, I took a stuft animal and popped it up from between her legs...I am really happy she didn't wear a skirt that day....We also kidnapped one of her stuft animals, a cow, and this would switch hands....If someone was going on vacation, they took it with them, and would take pictures of it bound at some exotic location...then pictures would be sent to her office with a ransom note.  Ah fun times.  I miss that job.

When people leave their computer alone, we put pics of Michael Jackson (before or after, it doesn't matter), Richard Simmons, David Hasselhoff, William Shatner, etc. on their background...

Our boss requested that we have pads of post-it notes printed in her handwriting that said "Thought you might be interested in this..." so that she could stick it on things and mail them to peers w/out actually writing the message (GENIOUS!). We had about 10,000 post-its printed.

But when they arrived from the print shop, I had photo-shopped (in her handwriting) an alternate message. It said "Thought you might be interested in me..."

We placed it on top of the first pad we gave her. Her reaction was pretty funny. "How did you guys let me write this? Did no one PROOFREAD this before it went to print??" Funny.

A few years ago we were playing with the NetSend command in windows. Basically it will pop up whatever message you want on someone else's computer in a very official looking windows box. So one guy sends a message to his boss saying: "Due to a security violation from your recent internet usage, you must call XXX-XXXX." The phone number was to the automated bus schedule message. The boss figured Security gave him the wrong number, so he calls Security to say "you gave me the wrong number." The guy who sent the message is waiving his hands wildly while the boss is on the phone to tell him it was he who sent the message, not Security. The boss then hands the guy the phone with Security on the other line to explain what just happened. "Um....we were just playing around..."

And shortly thereafter security was escorting the prankster out of the building?
