I need epic ideas to prank 4 new colleagues starting tomorrow.

So this is what I have on my list so far...

Keyboard keys and mouse in jelly...
Everyone-Should-Do-the-Jelly-Mouse-and-Keyboard-Prank-Office-Pranks_-eOSd_0.jpg

Upside down screen...(Surprised how many people don't know how to fix this so they try to google it with their head upside down...)

Will also use a bluetooth mouse to interfere with their interactions on the pc thinking their mouse is broken.

Wrote a small app to open the cd tray at random times.

Save a screenshot of their desktop and put it as their background and hide their icons, always a good laughter to see the person clicking on the image which he thinks is the icon.

If you have any ideas or opinions on how to improve this, please share them with me..

    We always send newbies to th hardwae store for a left handed ruler and a long weight. Works a treat. Also a grad that winds me up came to work in fancy dress on a dress down day. That was brilliant!

    Move the keys around on the keyboard

    OR my personal fav.

    Take a screenshot of the desktop and then set it as the background, and delete all their icons, that way they click and think they are clicking on their desktop.....hahahaha... it works every time :)

    Going to strip the keys from the keyboard and cast it into jelly, haha would love to see them figure out where all the keys should go.

    i work at a power plant, so sending new guys out for left handed power tools, is a big one, or sending them out for buckets of steam and turbine wash. i personally like sending them to one guy and having them ask for a long weight. ::snicker::

    My last office job did this to me, I got the last laugh though. The keyboard I use at home has blank keys and i use so many keyboard shortcuts that I never noticed what they did to the background. Yeah, I'm a dork.

    I work at a school where we teach a foreign language, which means all of our computers are set-up to work in both languages. I enjoy switching the default language on people. They get really frustrated when they can't get Google to work as it should.

    sky hooks and skirting board ladders are always good things to send people out for

    and of course telling them the wrong names for people is always good especially when the others know their alternative names and play along, just watch them try to work out who memo's are refering to

    Awesome idea, I understand a bit of german so will definitely make use of this.

    Would be weird sending out a software developer for sky hooks and skirting boards, any chance replacing it with something relevant to computers?
