I'm sorry, but due to financial difficulty and being overwhelmed with everything going on in the world, I am not going to do the Friday Silliness Thread anymore.
2. Put a sign up that says, "Please use other door" Make sure to put signs up on all of your entrances or exits.
3. Whatever your target hates (Like a certian Sports Team or Politician) - post their entire office with posters or promo stuff celebrating that hated thing.
4. When they've left their desk, make a screen capture (print screen) of the person's desktop (or with a program open). Go into Windows Paint program and paste. Save as a bmp. Load the picture as the person's background. Sit back and watch them double clicking and rebooting fruitlessly. (Note: you can also create a bmp of an entire black screen and do the same. The mouse moves, but there's nothing to click on if you hide the icons!)..
5. Poke some small holes in the paper water cups so that next person that gets a drink of water will have some bonus sprinkles.
6. For co-workers who steal food....make cat food sandwiches and put them in the fridge. See what happens.
7. Try too much hot sauce or any other revolting ingredient for your food stealer.
8. Anonymously post quotes from Adolph Hitler on a company bulletin board. (Quotes about "team spirit" can be particularly inspiring.)
9. Adulterate other people's lunches: take bites out of sandwiches, sprinkle bacon bits in vegetarians' salads (also works well with Orthodox Jews), and spike the thermos of iced tea with grain alcohol.
10. Tell everyone but your target to bring a couple of changes of clothes to work. Then walk by your target with a different set of clothes on every time.
11. If you have a coworker that is extremely picky about the placement of their work materials, adjust them ever so slightly every day. It may be work tools, pens, supplies, computer monitor anything else in their work area.
12. Turn the volume on the speakers really loud on their computer.
13. Take anything you like from the target and make a ransom note for them to get it back. Works especially well if it is something is annoying or ugly and the target knows it.
14. Re-label the Data DVDs - change the labels to read pornography type titles like Debbie Does Dallas, or Girls Gone Wild
15. Hide in the supply closet and scare people when they open the door.
16. Put a small radio in a ceiling panel close to the targets desk. Just have it on loud enough so only they can hear it. When asked, Have you and your coworkers deny that they hear anything. If they mention that they really dont like a certain radio personality or kind of music - that would be a good choice to turn the radio dial to.
17. Tape down the phone button on the phone so when the phone starts ringing and they pick it up it will keep ringing.
19. Tape or glue the items on your targets desk, to the desk.
20. Place a small washer and nut on top of a door hinge in a high traffic zone in a public building. Watch how different people react when they think they've broken the door.
21. Go to Microsoft word/ go to tools/ go to auto correct/ go to replace with/ change some popular words to you smell or the bosses name with "the funny guy".
22. If you have an office phone system that allows conference calling, you can prank two people at once. Call the first victim's extension, then very quickly call the second victim and push the conference button. Now both people will think the other person called them and will begin arguing over who called whom!
23. If he has an overhead bin style cabinet, layer the bottom with paper, then attach the paper to the door (with tape or something) so it comes out when the door to the cabinet is open. Then fill it with empty soda cans. When he opens the door to his cabinet, viola, all the cans will come crashing out and it will be most embarrassing for him.
24. Borrow the victim's cell phone when they aren't around and change the language setting to a foreign language. Then watch and laugh as they struggle to translate the setting instructions on their phone.
26. Make some copies of a paperclip. Then put them into the paper tray of the copier. People will go nuts trying to find the paperclip stuck in the printer.
27. First, take out your friend's drawer. then tape a squeaky dog toy to the inside so that when you put it back and slide it in, it goes, "squeak squeak!" when it's squashed.
28. Tie a piece of cord under the victim's office chair to hold down the lever that adjusts the chair height. (When you sit on the chair it will slide all the way down, but as soon as you stand up the chair will rise all the way up.) All the ups and downs will drive the victim crazy.
29. Take all of the victim's paperclips and hook them together in one long string.
30. Place a piece of clear tape over the microphone part of the phone. Laugh as your victim struggles to talk to their callers.
IBTP!!!!
IBTP?
I think most of the listed pranks have appeared on “The Office” at one time or another...usually with Dwight as the “target”!!

Top ten!
While working on a ship as a Chief Engineer, the Port Engineer and I snuck a wireless door bell in the Catain’s office. I put the chime inside the chair and kept the push button in my office. It was a lot of fun driving the Captain nuts.
Go BARRY!
(Forgive me, I think I'm going to be sick now. This april fools joke wasn't worth it... [[[HURL]]])
Try working in a maintenance shop sometime. I’ve seen toolboxes filled with baking powder, welded shut, hooked to 110 volts or hoisted into the rafters. It’s also very hard to drive home when your steering wheel is shrink wrapped.
“sprinkle bacon bits in vegetarians’ salads (also works well with Orthodox Jews)”
Too far!
Y’know...some of theose pictures (especially the Cheetos and the packing peanuts) are downright cruel.
I love a good practical joke as much as the next guy, but some go to the point of pure idiocy.
Nonetheless...Happy April Fools Friday!!
6. For co-workers who steal food....make cat food sandwiches and put them in the fridge. See what happens.
Better yet is the guy who never brings lunch and as soon as you break yours out, he’s there scrounging to see what “we” are having for lunch. After a few days of this, make an extra sandwich using the recipe for “meat spread” that your sister-in-law just sent....the one using Little Friskies Liver and Kidney dinner, along with some chopped onion, mayo and just a taste of Grey Poupon...on fresh whole wheat bread, of course.
Real story, no joke, and I stood there and watched him eat half of it before I told him what it was. He never begged so much as an Oreo from me ever again.
We had a guy that was stealing food from people’s lunches. He was especially fond of sweets. A package of chocolate Zingers, a bottle of Gentian Violet and a hypodermic put a stop to it.
Place a post-it note on the bottom of a computer mouse, if they still have a ‘rollerball” mouse, put cellophane tape over the bottom of it.
“I’m sorry, but due to financial difficulty and being overwhelmed with everything going on in the world, I am not going to do the Friday Silliness Thread anymore.”
April 1 joke (I hope)!
I exercise regularly. I eat moderate amounts of healthy food. I make
sure to get plenty of rest. I see my doctor once a year and my dentist
twice a year. I floss every night. I’ve had chest x-rays, cardio stress
tests, EKG’s and colonoscopies. I’ve seen a psychologist once, and she
thought I was A-OK. I have a dog and a variety of hobbies to reduce
stress. I don’t drink and drive. I quit smoking. I don’t do drugs. I
try not to disparage others. I don’t have crazy, reckless sex with
strangers.
If Charlie Sheen outlives me, I’m gonna be really, really pissed.
