Office Pranks

Snake

I never worked in an office, but the only prank I got is a harmless "virus" for someones computer. Still havent gotten a chanse to use it though :( .
But its pretty cool, you click on the icon, it opens up the command prompt and says "deleting C/: press any key to end process" , then what ever you press, it displays the computer directory, and then says "all files deleted" and closes windows explorer, so all that shows up on the computer is the wallpaper. THEN it shuts the computer down with a little text box that says something like "System lost! Computer is shutting down" or whatever I tell it to say.

So yea, still waiting for a chance to use it Technically its not really a virus, its just a simple program that displays a couple of words and then turns the computer off.

This is perfect because he is a HUGE Michigan fan and the rest of us are Ohio State Buckeyes! We can kidnap his wolverine! HA

You know those "pop its" things you can buy for cheap at fireworks booths? They look like little wads of paper and when you toss them they make a snap or pop sound?

If you can find some of those (I know...kind of hard in April), but you tape those suckers to their chair wheels. When they roll it sounds like fireworks going off.

Its awesome.

you can talk to the person. and while you are having this conversation. lower your voice, then raise it, then normal, low.normal low, normal..raise etc. if you can keep the same speed, and make it seem like nothing has changed the other person will think something is wrong with thier ears. it works better if you have another person on the joke. the other person talks normal but acts like your voice is normal. responds normal too (so plan a conversation in advance.) it works good because a lot of people wont ask, because they think its them.

the hoff one is fantastic, I'm gonna change EVERYBODY'S desktop to a pic of the hoff, I love it... one guy in particular will be very very funny, I need to know when he's out on site though

The other one's an old one but a goodie

easy stuff like switching the "M" and "N" key on their keyboard.

Take out the ball in their mouse.

If you can access their desktop remotely, add all sorts of icons, then delete them, re-add/delete...

We used to know someone at the office that pecked at their keyboard because they didn't know where the keys were. This is a funny one for someone like that!

There used to be a girl who worked at home all the time. We used to make signs around the office "Where's Bern?" and we would pile up all of our empty boxes in her office while she was out. We also snapped pictures of other co-workers sitting at her desk with their feet up on her desk. Printed the pictures and wallpapered her cubical with them. The president even got in on it.

Because I'm short, the IT guy would always lower my chair to the floor before I came in every morning.
