    I used to torment this guy I worked with. I would find the most random pictures off of the net, print them, and replace the photos he had on his desk with them. Only thing was the pictures faced his customers not him. It was hillarious to hear a customer ask him "so why do you have a picture of.....on your desk"? :lol:

    Some of my faves are below.

    I have a good friend here at work and there have been a couple of instances where I've entered the restoom and noticed his feet under the stalls.

    As I leave, I always turn the lights off. :lol:

    I wasnt the one that did or came up with the idea but.....

    my former employer told a story about jokes being played . One of which was on him as store manager. Other employess had taped raw bacon under his desk. Stunk the joint up something fierce. He then pulled out the sliding keyboard tray , this was one of the areas bacon was taped.

    Someone changed the font color on my former ass-hole boss's PC to white....wish that I had thought of it.

    This one was pulled on me and it was great. I leave work one day and I'm walking to my car (Toyota Highlander at the time). I open the door and the car was filled with packing peanuts right up to bottom of the window sill so I didn't see it until I opened the door. Front seat...back seat...cargo area just filled. So I scoop out a place to sit, open up the windows and drive home with peanuts flying out of the car the whole ride home. Now this is where it gets good. Two days later I catch shit from MY boss. He calls me into his office and proceeds to rip me a new one. Seems to be that where I had parked my car had left a complaint about a pile of styrofoam peanuts I left in the parking lot and the people that pulled the prank...had taken my company credit card out of my desk and purchased $148 worth of the packing peanuts from U-Haul. Yes, company funds. It was a brutal talking to but after it ended I could only laugh. Those fuckers. 8-):lol:

    Someone at work told me about this trick, we are yet to try it!

    I targeted one girl at work where every time she left her desk I stole all of her pens and pencils. It was hilarious...at least to me...how pissed off she would get. :lol:

    Couple years ago when I worked at a fun company I of course was the only Packer fan in the entire place. The Bears beat the Pack in their first match that year...so I get to my desk on Monday morning and it's COVERED with news articles about how the Bears beat the Packers. They changed my desktop to a Superbowl Shuffle shot, covered my area in blue and orange streamers, and even went so far as to tape Bears pictures on the outside of my window so I couldn't easily take them down. Even my normal desktop items like my stapler and stuff were covered in newspaper articles! Darn Bears fans!

    Ctrl + Alt + one of the arrows to rotate the screen

    We did this to a guy at work today :lol:

    He was NOT amused. My cohort/partner in crime fixed it for him, and told him it was just a little joke. The guy said, "Not a good time."

    Meaning, he is too busy for nonsense. This is just after his finished a six minute telephone conversation with his child on how to change the channel on a TV.

    Thanks for the inspiration!!

    When I did it to my colleague she literally screamed in shock, then she cracked up laughing when she realised I had done it.

    Only mean people play practical jokes. A "friend" hurt me recently with one and I still can't get over it. So, believe me, they are not always funny. BTW, this was done, while I am going through a rough time, with my cat/baby's cancer possibly returning. Some people are heartless bastards.

    It's really sad, when someone you trust stabs you in the back, especially when you are feeling blue and you would do anything for him and wouldn't even think to hurt him. After all, isn't friendship about kindness and support. :cry:

    I only worked for a week in an accounting office for some high school credit. It was back in '94 so no computers were involved. Had the wired telephones too. The only prank I played was taping down the part (I can't think of what it is called) that comes up when you pick up the phone making it so that the phone is still ringing. Went into the mail room and asked him to call what's her face and step a few feet into her cubicle. She was just a little annoyed.

    Just need a smile before I make my trek to Thanksgiving dinner. I used to be in a stapling phase at work...haven't done this in a while but may have to break it out again. I'd wait for someone to leave their desk and I would staple as many of their papers that I could together. If they had a desk calendar I'd staple them to that. I'd staple their wall calendar closed...staple the pad of sticky notes...everything paper on their desk got a staple. :D

    Aw, man. I would actually be mad at this one, I think. Especially if I have silk or some other form of dry-clean only fabric on. Good thing I don't have spongey chairs at work (or work with DS) :mrgreen:

    Generally it's one of those pranks that I like to think of as a "hit and run" prank. First you hit 'em...and then you run. :lol:
