Job Pranks?

Armor All his office chair, put bearing grease under his car door handle, send him a singing telegram

The ghey singing telegram is a good idea. Can't be traced to me.

Change his screensaver to a picture of something he hates. Once worked with a guy who was deathly afraid of midgets and we did that to him. I heard him scream from down the hall.

I had an old supervisor who tried being a ladies' man. He'd make his rounds talking to women, being completely oblivious to everything around. I used to tie his shoes together and put stickers all over his back. What made it so funny is that he always tried to play it off. He'd take a step, come thisclosetobitingthefloor and then stop and look around calmly for about 5 minutes before readjusting his shoelaces.

He once conducted an interview with a sticker tail. Yep, that was me.

I once had a 30-something year old man (probably got the job due to ADA) filling up a water fountain with a 5 gallon bucket. He poured 2 bucket-fulls down the drain.

In the Army, we had a staple of pranks, most of which nobody ever falls for: find a box of grid squares, change the summer air for winter air, get an exhaust sample, etc. The one that almost got me when I was a private: someone told me to get tell the First Sergeant we need a Pricky 8 because the Pricky 6 isn't working.

I'm not sure if they're considered pranks, but promotions and birthdays in the Army are a free for all. Blood wings.... not cool. I got promoted to Sergeant in the middle of the winter in Germany... which meant I was taken out in the snow and ice and doused with several buckets of cold, dirty brown mop water.

As far as office pranks... call 2 different people and set up a conference. They'll be arguing over who called who. Or switch his desk drawers around. Or glue his pen caps to his pens.

Rearrange a few letters on his keyboard, they just pop off. I did this to a supervisor onetime. It was pretty funny because it took him a while to figure it out.

Back in the day we had a secretary that loved to play solitaire even though she had been warned not to... me and my buddy hacked her system and changed her solitaire icon to point to a program that made it look like your system was crashing and erasing data...

About an hour later she runs screaming into the bosses office crying that she was sorry but she ruined her computer... she then had to explain that she was once again playing solitaire on work time...

We got a big kick out of it.
