Ok.. I will admit it Im a real prankster, very bad... My last position I worked as a Radiology Manager.. My co-worker and I put out some Harry potter Jelly Beans, you know the ones that taste like puke, snot and grass.. We put them in a bowl like regular jellybeans to get the other employees.. did not expect my head doctor to grab a handful! I will never forget the look on his face! Thats just one of many.. Saline fights, water fights, post it fights rubber bands you name it!: Oh yeah itching powder, sealing your coffee, disconnecting phones, freezing computer moniters, prank calls....... blushing:

I worked at a printing plant which wrapped large, packed pallets with industrial-sized wide plastic wrap before they were trucked off. We stuffed a woman's car completely full with newsprint -- front and back seats, completely chock-a-block full of paper. Then, we wrapped it in plastic wrap. Really wrapped it, not just once -- at least 30 to 40 times.

Best part of the entire prank was her reaction -- she was so f'ing pissed. Took her over an hour to get into her car in freezing temps. Ah, good times.

I stole the idea from The Office but I put a coworker's cell phone in the ceiling tile above his desk an called it.

I didn't do it but it was done to me at a job in high school. I was closing (late night after dark) at an amusement park type place and on my first night there I was told to take the garbage out back to a dumpster. I threw open the lid to the big dumpster and a few employees jumped up from inside it and scared the freaking p*ss out of me!

While working in a shipping/receiving department while in college, we would regularly pallet wrap random people who came into our area without permission.

Then while an engineering intern, we taped the buzzer from an alarm clock to the bottom of a guys desk and then ran the wires into the next office. We would then randomly touch the leads to a battery to "Sound the Alarm". Took the guy at least 3 weeks to figure out where the sound was coming from.

I bought some plastic, realistic looking roaches (with sticky wheels @ the bottom) at Border's and put them on a coworkers desk. I set them up so that when she pulled her keyboard out, they rolled down her document holder. She screamed when she saw them moving because they look pretty realistic... like they're crawling really fast.

I'm prob going to send a Playboy subscription to my man's mom's house. I want her to think her husband ordered it and get her all fired up!

I use to love putting hand lotion on the earpiece of a telephone, and then dial that extension.

Our secretary loves to use several different colors of highlighters…………I glued the caps down on everyone. She threw a fit, and I had a good laugh.

This was kind of an office prank but at home.....my boyfriend is my boss at work...so one Friday morning I had a deadline to meet and had to call another boss with some numbers....well...I wake up and he asked me how I slept....I said fine...and he told me that I must have because it was Saturday, and I slept through all of Friday....

At first I was like ya whatever....its impossible.....So i went for my phone....if freaking said Saturday.....so I went for his phone...thinking what a *kitten*.....cuz he wouldn't have been able to change both phones quick enough...

His phone said Saturday as well....I freaked about him letting me sleep in and that the other boss was going to kill me cuz I never called in my numbers.....I was going to kill him.......

He got me sooooooo good........I'm still thinking of how to get him back!

I used to teach teenage boys in a closed custody facility. If a boy was away for a day (and if he was the type of kid I could joke with) I would tell the other boys we were going to play a joke on the boy who was away. He would walk in the next day and I would announce a pop quiz worth 50% of the final grade. I would start asking random questions (like: What day is the best day to do your laundry? or How many frogs in a trump? or Which side of the egg is the right side?) to which the other boys would answer....and they would always be right, but he would always be wrong.

I'm sick. I'm lucky I was never pounded.

Knowing he was a jokster, two days after "Mike" started at our Firm, I went into his office with a straight face & told him that he was chosen for random drug testing & needed to go to the clinic next door.

It only took him a short period of time to never believe me...LOL

I used to work in an office with a woman that had this stuffed bunny. We stole it while she was out one day. Photocopied it and wrote a note on its picture telling her to bring us something or the bunny gets it. I don't even remember what our demands were. :laugh:

we have things like schedules, and over time lists printed up and posted up in the break room. a really simple prank is to just circle one or two names, and cross out another. especially if you get the right person. they will freak out, just running around and asking what it means, whats going on.

oh, and my brother was constantly finding my phone that i would leave just on the coffee table and update my status, or send out random text messages. one day he left his phone out, and i just simply put in my pocket. when he finally asked "has anyone seen my phone?" i just pulled it out of my pocket and handed it to him. he spent about an hour looking through everything, trying to find where i had pranked him. i hadn't. he's never messed with my phone since.

Wrapped a coworkers entire desk, and everything on it individually in christmas wrapping paper...

I once burned through a co-workers bike with a cutting torch after hearing him brag too much about his biking times, races and how far he was riding any given day.

That was when I was fat and very jealous of this guy.
Now, he's one of my best friends...lol

My FIL is a doctor. He likes to drink apple juice out of urine specimen cups. It freaks out his nurses - every time.

I was working for a dentist, whenever someone came in for an emergency appointment I had to take an x-ray before the Dr. came in to see them. I would hand him the x-ray when it was done developing.

My bro-in-law was working for a vet at the time and brought home an x-ray of a bird with a broken wing, I asked him if I could borrow it. The next time we had an emergency patient I handed my boss the x-ray of the bird's broken wing.

Everyone, including the patient, laughed except the Dr. He tried to play it off.

OMG, when I worked in an office, I loved office pranks. One time before a co-worker came to work, I put lotion on her phone receiver. Then I turned her ringer all the way up to the highest volume. Then I glued her mouse down to her desk and adjusted her chair so that when she got in it she sunk all the way to the floor. When she got to work, she sat down in her desk and crashed to the bottom. Then we dialed her extension and it scared her cause it was so loud, and then when she answered she got lotion all over her face. Then she tried to turn on her computer and couldn't move her mouse. She was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO UPSET!!!! But it was SOOOOOOOOOOOO funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was a grown 30+ man and screamed and ran away like a 5 year old!

Our Director gift wrapped one of the managers office, including desk, computer, bookcase, pictures, mouse, keyboard, phone, etc. He also got bags of cotton balls and put them all over the floor, including lights in the ceiling. And a tree.





The woman is a grinch so this was just so appropriate to piss her off! Put it this way, this was on the wall outside her office:



And we got our VP good. They got an air compressor and blew up this gigantic orange ball in his office. It was hilarious.



Trying to get giant ball out of the office after boss didn't find it so funny anymore:
