Funniest thing you've ever done in an office?

[omitchell]

What's the funniest thing you've ever done/seen happen in an office,

one of the best i ever saw was some people taped up to entrance to a colleague's cubicle and proceded to fill the entire cubicle with packing foam cue much hilarity when the person came back to retrieve his laptop before going to a meeting

Worked at a white goods company and they introduced a no smoking policy in the office.

The 'Built-In Appliance' Manager, who refused to comply, went on holiday and whilst he was away we installed an extractor hood above his chair.

At another white goods company office, where I worked previous to that, the Warehouse Manager (who was a captain in the TA and took great pride in wearing his uniform at every opportunity) went on leave. His office was a shed type thing in the main warehouse and, when he came back, gun turrets and camouflage netting were drapped over the roof and the walls painted in disruptive fashion paint (camouflage).

Sp?

Yeah, what is it about TA/OTC types and uniforms? The OTC members I know always seem to come to lectures in their fatigues if they're going on to something later, even if it means they'll spend the day looking like an extra from Starship Troopers

At a company I was temping for, an unliked junior engineering manager had six rashers of bacon stapled to the underside of his desk while he was at lunch Two weeks later and the company had to call in Rentokill to sweep his office. They found the probelem after they saw fat dripped on the carpet

His nickname has become 'Bacon' and Lockstock jokes are rife

Worked. Was feeling funny for a moment.

When I worked as a tech in a 'are you a debt laden wit? Then take out one of our 700 year debt consolidation loans' type of establishment I regularly got pissed off with the idiots I worked with.
The cabling risers were just through the kitchens on each floor (four floors, open plan, 100+ people on each floor) and, as I regularly got blocked in when people saw the riser door open, I started locking the kitchens whenever I was in there.
Whilst under the cover of a locked door I would exact my revenge; I would take a drawing pin to the bottoms of random polystyrene cups that lay in huge stacked piles awaiting their steamy brews.
I must tell you there is an unrivalled sense of achievement when you see one of the idiot users embarking across the office with four full, polystyrene cups pushed firmly together with one of them pissing out tea onto everyone they pass.

I used to work with a very amusing bloke called Mark. He used to do some hilarious office crackers.

Two that come to mind are:

Vapid telesales person who had been on far too long: "Well, Mark, do you think that our services are for you?"

Mark: "No." (he is looking at me)

Vapid telesales person who had been on far too long: "Oh. Why not?"

Mark: "Because the HR Director is making a curious gesture with his fist and his forehead at the moment!"


Second one:

Long conversation with client lady. In depth. Lots of questions. Then.

Mark: "I have one final question which I think is highly relevant to this situation - Do you have big tits? I mean, just how large are your jugs? "

Coffee. Keyboard. Shock and Awe.

He'd kept up the phone call for five minutes after she'd rung off and we'd had no idea. Class.

I swapped the yellow saffron sauce (for salmon) with the custard in the dining room today, but I had to scarper to a meeting, so I don't know whether anyone had salmon and custard.

I convinced a colleague who had been off on holiday that the Board of Directors had agreed with our major European suppliers that we would all adopt Esperanto as a common language. We only told him it was a joke the day before he was due to go away on a course

One of my colleagues made up a print of a Windows blue screen of death and then stuck it to the monitor screen of one of our older (but always up for a laugh) workers.
Both he and the IT helpdesk couldn't work out why no matter what he tried the blue screen remained. IT sent someone over and we all got a huge bollocking.

Chatting with 2 colleagues discussing how many press-ups we could each do in a minute. One gent decides to have a go there and then, he'd done about 3 when our Sales manager walks into the office, the door perfectly inline with Phil, accompanied by two very high up gents from the MoD's DPA.

Phil was oblivious to all three of them as the party is hurried thru the office...
