Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Office Pranks???

Ok,
So I started my summer internship, and there are other kids from my college that work here. I share a cubicle with another student who I've had several classes with and have become good friends with over the past month. So lately we've found it fun to pull pranks on other students and on each other. Like this morning I came in to find my desktop background as the homepages to several gay porno sites, I guess that's what I get for leaving my computer turned on after leaving work on friday. Oh yeah, our boss often times comes by to see what stupid prank we're pulling on each other and wants to be there to see our reaction when the prank goes down.

The other day I coated the ear piece to my buddie's phone with glue from a glue stick. Then I had our boss call him and have him come over to his office. He picked up the phone to get a coating of glue all over his ear and then was in a panick trying to wipe it off while going to the boss' office. We all had a good laugh at that.

Anyways... I figured I'd ask the people here for any good ideas or pranks that you might have pulled on people at work. Keep in mind it can't be anything too extreme that would get a person fired. Oh, and most people aren't that bright with computers... I unplugged a guys mouse and keyboard, and stood amazed as he rebooted his computer 3 times and then proceeded to call the help desk b/c his "computer kept locking up whenever he turned it on." Eventhough when it would go to boot up it would say right across the screne something like "Keyboard Connection Error"
So help me out!!! Spread some love around my office, and possibly around yours.

-If you have hand dryers, rotate the nozzle upwards and dump copy machine toner into the machine. When someone goes to dry their hands......

-Put a can of shaving cream in the freezer overnight. Crack the metal can open and take out the solid chunk of shaving cream. Hide in someone's desk. Once it starts to warm up you have a wonderful little mess.

I could swear we've had a couple threads like these before.
the only one I could find using search was the Senior Pranks threads - which could also be useful in some office situations I suppose.

Yeah, I ran the search and only came up with the Senior Pranks. I think the company would look down on me bringing livestock into the office place. Most of the senior pranks were along the lines of building destruction and using animals. I'm looking more along the lines of ways to mess with someones desk, computer, phone, etc. Anything that would be in a persons cubicle or office. The hand dryer one is great, and I'll be putting some shaving cream into the freezer tonight. "Ok... Good Stuff"

Those are both VERY messy and the toner one is a major health hazzard.

Elky's dead-on with this.

Toner is NOT, repeat, NOT to be ingested. It's nasty stuff. Aside from the health hazards, once it's airborne, good luck getting it out of ANYthing. The walls, the ceiling, the floor. Once it's on your hands, good luck getting the dye out of your skin for a few days. You will be (if not, you SHOULD be) footing the bill for janitorial services for at least the month. If it hits the person's eyes... you've got some SERIOUS problems, as well.

Turning the nozzle upside-down is funny enough, but, NO toner.

Don't worry... I would never do anything like that. I said it was great but it is crossing the line, and yes I would feel bad about making the janitorial staff have to clean that, plus it would ruin whatever the person was wearing. We're keeping this clean but fun.

A couple:

Use Saran wrap and duct tape and seal off the entrance to a cubicle - then fill the whole thing with Styrofoam peanuts.

Staple about 50-100 dixie cups together and put them on someone's desk. Then, fill them all with water to the very top.

Tape down the phone reciever button with invisible tape.

Tape over the mic part of the phone with invisible tape.

1/2 bottle of Visine in someone's Coke or Coffee and then put "Out of Order Signs" on all the bathrooms nearby.

Just a few for now...

Put clear tape over the hang up button on someone's phone. Then call them and laugh as they pick up the phone and it continue's to ring. "Hello, Hello, Hello!".

My best ever was when my neighbor in the office freaked out as our upstairs toilet began to overflow. Water was leaking thru the ceiling tiles at one end of his office (yes it's nasty!) as he's yelling about it, I stand on a chair and squirt Visine on his neck (only liquid I had available). You should have heard him scream like a little girl as he ran away!

A few more I remembered - I'm sure I saw these on the internet a while back:

Buy a box of donuts on Friday Afternoon - leave them out over the weekend, then put them out on Monday with a "Free Donuts" sign on the box.

Take apart all the pens and remove the ink. Or, put red ink sticks in he black pens, etc...

Put a fake plastic fish that looks dead in the water cooler.

Dump the paper holes punched from a hole-puncher into an umbrella while it's closed.

Remove mouse balls.

Saran wrap the toilet.
