Office Pranks

[AB]

It all started with a stolen bar of chocolate, which needed avenging. So far it's up to sellotaping everything to the desk.

Small and silly office pranks.

Ideas?

Best idea (apart from growing up) is to use search

A note for your colleague to call back 'Anna'. Then put local brothel's number (and make sure name and number match if you see what I mean in the hope he'll speak to the girl in question before he twigs).

A bit of that invisible 'magic' selotape on his phone to hold the pickup button down so when it rings and he answers it just keeps ringing.

If his desk computer has a laser mouse put a bit of electrical tape over the laser.

One that is more elaborate and requires a bit of rigging up (it also only really works if the desk is cluttered)

A bit of very fine mono filament fishing wire tied to the phone cord and around the back of the computer to the mouse, long enough not to impinge use of the mouse but when he picks the phone up the mouse will go flying across the desk!

In a similar vein, put the bits out of the hole punch in their umbrella.

Loving the call back ideas!

I usually swap everything one someones desk over to the otherside, subtle but confusing.

Or screen shot their desktop, hide all their icons and then save screen shot as desktop paper, see the clicking like mad on their desktop.

Saw a picture on here once of someone who grew cress in colleauges keyboard.

why not just go the ol' wrap everything on the desk in tinfoil/newspaper route.

Replace text in Windows - something like every time s/he types the company name it's replaced with something else of your choice. Works really well for someone that didn't know it was a Windows feature and so hasn't got a clue what's going on.

Message to call Diana Saws, phone number for Natural History Museum.

It's got to be something that doesn't impact on work, that's going a little too far.

Get a load of plastic cups. Arrange together on desk. Staple tops together where they touch each other. Fill with water from a bottle/jug.

The more cups the better

[C.A.R.]

Switch the left and right click on the mouse in control panel.

Massively confusing.
