My co-worker once put a plastic spider in my coffe mug. So I stabbed him in the face with a soldering iron.

I once took a coworkers phone apart and swapped the wires for column 1 and 2. He could still dial 9 for an outside line, but all calls with most numbers went to wrong numbers. Also super glued a full cup of coffee on his desk.
One that did not work on me....I left my office and my office mate thought I went to the bathroom and thought I was in a stall. He soaked a hand full of paper towels and threw them over the door and splat onto "my" head. He was laughing when he ran into the office, but not so much when he saw I was there.
One done to me when I lived in Florida, we were leaving a remote work area when the car in front of me stopped for a snake in the dirt road. I got out and saw it was a garter snake and caught it and threw it off the road. I explained that except for coral snakes in FL, all poisonous snakes were pit vipers with slit pupils. A few days later my coworkers opened the door to my office and were snickering and saying "slit pupils are not poisonous" and threw a large zip-loc baggie on my desk containing a live eastern diamond back rattlesnake they had caught that was sluggish due to cold weather. I took it far away and let it go. They got me. I was surprised!
Lighten up Francis.

I filled the glove compartment of someone’s car with packing peanuts. Would have done the whole car if I had enough of them.
Were I worked long ago someone filled a co-workers car up to the windows with small plastic floating ducks.
A friend of mine filled someone’s office floor to ceiling with balloons
The same person once put s Sesame Street book titled “The Bone Book” in the the medical books in the office of a Dr she was dating. That was not so much out in your face, but it was funny
And add this to another use for duct tape. Who knew!lol
Darn! My picture of Jim pranking Dwight disappeared. So here’s one of my favorites:

If you really hate someone go to the fax machine and fax a blank sheet of paper to their desk phone. Since most fax machines will keep trying to connect, the victim will get call after call after call.
I was working at a bar which had a piano bar, an acoustic baby grand with a handful of stools around it, a flower pot and a tip jar on top, and some pianist mediocrity behind a keyboard, one of whom at one time claimed he had played with Bill Haley’s Comets, while another, the regular guy, wore an eye patch for a time and sang “I only have an eye for you”. At closing time, everyone gone including the “artist”, we cleaned up , put things away, and I would direct the new waitress, and this only worked with her once, but we had a pretty good turnover of waitresses, I would direct her to crawl under the piano and unplug it, which she obediently attempted to do.
Packing peanuts were invented expressly to inspire pranks. What else can you do with them once you open up and empty the package? The ones I once poured into a candy bowl, were unlike those pictured, and I remember they looked quite enticing and sweet when I opened the package containing a modem or whatever it was, so much so, that, and I kid you not, I couldn’t resist biting on one myself before getting the idea of a prank, which, by the way, worked as intended.
Because as any Packing Peanut Industry professional, or a double Ph.D in political science and government studies, who now works for the Packing Peanut Industry Association on K Street in Washington D.C. will tell you, packing peanuts come in all shapes, colors and forms.
lol, What a bunch of goobers on that show.
lol, I think you’re making up tall tales now.
You think I’m making things up? Ask Joey! http://www.joeywelz.com/
So Joey Welz opened for Phil Collins - when was this? Phil Collins is still performing? I thought he had retired.....I guess not.
okay, okay, okay, I believe you.
Exactly. Once I read a story about a guy that tore the tag off his mattress in blatant disregard of its instructions. People can be so uncivilized!
Joey didn’t last long there, as it was a pretty conservative joint, and he was a wild and crazy guy, I, standing behind the bar, was his only fan in the place, and anyway, he must have been subbing for the regular guy who probably was having an eye surgery or went on a tour of dives (this happened a long time ago), a Jewish fellow, who answered to ‘Duke’, and who had an amazing ability, I thought at the time, to play the keys using only 3 fingers of each hand, I didn’t say play well, but play and get away with it. I should have asked him for lessons.
Then, (and since I started, I might as well finish), two georgeous twins were hired, well, maybe not georgeous, but my type, just out of college, having fun before getting serious and settling down, and one evening, one of the regular older career waitresses, Nancy or Mickey, I don’t remember which, they were like mothers to me then, probably long dead and buried along with Duke, only Joey and I are still rocking and rolling, so Nancy or Mickey asked me, “How come you didn’t ask Kathy to unplug the piano?” And it was something like in Tim Hardin’s famous song “The Lady Came from Baltimore”:
I was there to steal her money,
Take her rings and run.
Then I fell in love with the lady,
Got away with none.
As for Joey, he was and remains a braggart, someone who managed to survive on the peripheries of rock and roll scene for half a century, a legend in his own mind, and quite a character. He could have made himself a career in a band, or as a studio pianist, but chose to go solo, with the effects that you can find on Youtube and elsewhere, and not be terribly impressed. I’d love to make a film about him, documentary or dramatic, he really deserves it.
My English teacher was one eyed , he'd skin a grape and replace the glass eye with the grape. He would get around people that didn't know him and pull the grape out and eat it.
Worked a few construction sites over the years,,, once a few us heavy equipment operators taped a cone shaped water cup to the, head engineers, hard hat and he wore it all day. Even he had a good laugh about it .
Revolting cat!, you crack me up with your stories. You must be a writer.
Heh. Good one....
