Years ago at work I pulled one on our receptionist. I had different people call her. This was before internal and external caller ID.

Shirley, this is Jane downstairs. We have an older couple looking for your department but are lost. They are waiting at the elevator. Could you send someone down to meet them?

Shirley, being the nice person she is, offers to come get them so she heads out. She returns a few minutes later saying she couldn't find them. She can't call Jane back because of the caller id thing mentioned above. A few minutes after she gets back..

Hi, this is Fred from the lobby, we have an older couple here who was waiting on someone to take them to your department. Can you come meet them?

Well, you get the idea. I had Shirely going all over the place looking for this mystery couple. If I recall, I had her make 4 trips before letting her in on the joke. She was getting frustrated after the 2nd trip but never lost her cool.

Practical Joke #2

I would send a random piece of financial information via interoffice mail to a new guy in a different department with a sticky note that read "David, get this into the system as soon as possible". Oh, the joy of thinking of the new guy franctically wondering what he was suppose to do. Being new, he was probably afraid to ask questions.
