One of my co-workers is a saver. About 15 years ago, our insurance company used a new password each week to identify company representatives. About a year ago, my co-worker found a file with all the passwords. He showed it to all of us and we all agreed there was no reason to keep it, so he threw out the file.
We have a sales convention every year and a top management person would leave company-wide e-mails to update us on information for the convention. A couple of days after my co-worker threw out the file, I called a top manager who sends e-mails updating us on the annual sales convention and asked him to send a fake company-wide e-mail to my co-worker announcing that there would be a contest at the convention and the person who could recall the most company passwords from the old days would win.
My co-worker read the e-mail and came out of his office white as a sheet. We only let him suffer for a couple of hours before we told him the truth.

The president of the company where I used to work had a very efficient secretary. When she put a stack of letters on his desk to be signed he didn't read them, just signed each letter and sent them back to her. The office jokester slipped in a sheet with the president's resignation on it, and of course he signed it. The jokester had a good time with it and no harm came from it.

My mother in law is the easiest, ever. We all work at a salon. I own a pug (This will make sense). I got some hair conditioner on my black sleeve. My wife says "That looks like one of the pug's eye boogers!" It wasn't, but the damage was done. Mom went rhythmically wretching straight to the can.
I used to work at a semiconductor manufacturing plant in Phoenix back in the early 60's. I had the thrill of working second shift (4:00PM - Midnight). Well, on Friday nights we normally took off about 11:30 and gathered at a bar across the street for some pool, beer, and chatter.
Some one would get there first and order a pitcher to get it going and rack the balls.
Well, after a few weeks we noticed that one fellow always managed to show up about 5 minutes after the festivities started. AND he always seemed to leave before the last pitcher was ordered.
His comment was always, I will get the next one."
One night after we figured out his little game, we ordered about 10 pitchers but paid for none, telling the barkeep of our plan and that was to finally get Marsh to buy.
Anyway, about 12:45 (bars closed at 1AM then) we all began wandering out. One guy had to leave, another went to the potty, a couple went out to check a 'car problem', etc.
Then the bartender hit him with a bill for $17.50 or so. Now this wasn't a weeks pay but it was a noticeable amount for us grunt technicians. Most of us were in the $90 after taxes range/week. (God, those were the days)
From then on, he was always the first on the scene.
Liquid nitrogen makes for some "cool" fun. A friend wanted to return some Tupperware. He was told they'd accept the stuff only if it was defective.
He dipped the stuff in liquid nitrogen and shattered all of it by dropping them on the floor. He returned the pieces in a bag and got his money back after he told them the stuff broke. He didn't tell them about the liquid nitrogen.
We had a piping superintendent that left his boots under his desk when he went home at night. Some of the night shift guys lined the boots with plastic wrap, filled them with water, and put them in a freezer. They were back under his desk the next morning.
To say he was pissed was an understatement.
ROFLMAO! This whole thread is insane, but this is making my eyes tear! What is wrong with you people??!!
Our college had a siren on the scoreboard to signal the quarters, etc. for football. We "borrowed" it one night. The coach didn't find out about the missing siren until the next game. A bunch of guys with a siren obviously has something with serious potential.
The siren ended up on the roof of the high rise dorm hooked up to a timer set for 3:00 am. Of course we relocked the penthouse door after we setup the siren. The college called in the fire department after they found the door locked with the siren screaming. The fire department freaked out after spotting the shoe box with the innards and the timer, made out of an old electric alarm clock. They thought it was a bomb. One of the firemen finally had the sense to pull the plug out of the wall.
Needless to say we kept the frick as we used to call it to ourselves.
Sent $20.00 in his name to the Jehova's witnesses with a request that they send some information.
I'm not sure if that's why he moved but....
There was a ladies man at one place I worked. I was able to get a copy of his photo ID from the secretary. I had a wanted poster printed up with that picture that looked exactly like what you'd find at the post office, with finger prints, etc. Of course everything on it related to "crimes of the heart."
I put one copy in his cube. For some reason I was the first person he asked to find out where it came form. He wasn't pleased.
It's not PC related, but we started talking to each other about the coupon for the free ham or turkey that could be redeemed at the local Piggly Wiggly. All you had to do was ask the project manager for one.
Of course there were no such coupons. But the department fool didn't know that. He also did the paperwork for the sixty inflatable dolls for the company picnic at the instigation of one of the superintendents.
Thank you for the ping!
Well a guy we work with, went on break and left his badge on the counter. Someone,not me, put his badge inside the machine and turned it on. A few weeks later, the health office called him to report to them immediately. They wanted to send him out for tests. He thought he was a dead man. The guy who did it confessed and was fired. Pretty funny though
Remember when mustard came in jars? You'd be amazed at how much coverage you can get by putting a jar of mustard in someone's bedroom and sticking a lit cherry bomb in it.
Get two raw chicken breasts.
Hide one in a not so hard to find hiding space.
Hide the other in an impossible to find hiding space.
When they start rotting, the prankee will find the first and think the smell is gone.
But it's not......
MUHAHAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWA!
Shaving cream in pay phone ear pieces. When they run for the phone and that shaving cream gets jammed in your outer ear it's awful.
Another dorm prank. Switch the CDs into the wrong cases. Just make sure you switch 3 CDs at a time. Then the prankee cant easily just switch the CDs into the other jewel case. TOTAL PAIN THE ASS!
Damn that's FUNNY!!!
I was sent for "bulkhead remover, spray type." Figured it out about halfway across the hanger, spent the next 20 minutes munching a candy bar and taking a smoke break, then went back and told them I couldn't find any.
Laughs all around, but they didn't know until later it was on them. ;)
I seem to recall a prank involving a coffee table and some duct tape . . . care to share with the group?
