Okay, so its Friday...yippie! I work with a couple of guys who pull pranks on everyone, but never expect pranks on them, so I'd love to plan out some pranks to pull on them by at least next Friday.... Now..keep in mind they have to be classy pranks....nothing that will harm them, or involve gooey-ness, or embarrass them (too badly anyways..haha). But, just some clean fun.


The following pranks they have pulled on me:
* stuck a note on my windshield that said "Sorry I bumped into your car, I had to run to work but call me to get things sorted out" and then they left the Pizza Hut phone number. So I was searching my car up and down for scratches.

*Stuck a tiny little magnetic device called "The Annoy-A-Tron" in my hole punch on my desk. It periodically beeps...and I thought that I was being wire-tapped at my desk. I was freaking out, timing the beeps..you name it.

*I received a package from Fed Ex on my lunch break (that I had been expecting for a client)--- they hid the package, and then put a sticky note on my desk that ended up being a huge scavenger hunt with multiple sticky notes all over the office building.

*They put notes on everyone's desk that said "Hey, I need to talk to you- Thanks, Dawna"---so everyone came to my desk all day long asking what I needed...oh my GOSH!



Anyways...you get my point!! I mean the pranks are funny and do not injure me in any way, and I'll have to admit they are funny afterwards...but I want to get them back with something equally as funny!!!!


ANY IDEAS???..... READY....SET.....GO!!

    :) Some girls in my office have taped down the little receiver button on the desk phones. They then have someone call the person who's phone has been 'modified'. When they try to answer, it just keeps ringing because the button is taped down.

    Low impact, but entertaining.....

    I also had someone instant message me and they asked me to 'call me right away at this number....' and it was a psychiatric help line....

    Good luck and have fun!

    I once had everything on my desk taped down, there was even tape on the phone--over the holes so you couldn't hear or be heard.

    Another time They made a tape of animal noises very infrequent and quiet and put it in the targets drawer. Luckily I wasn't in on that one. They were driving people crazy!

    One time I came in and the guys in my office had taken everything on my desk and turned it upside down!

    The weirdest one I ever had pulled on me was the Janitor (He was such a practical joker)... asked me for a pencil and when I opened my drawer found a pile of cat crap on some business cards (it was laminated so it wasn't dirty in that way)... and where I used to work the guys would come into the stockroom to get the bubble wrap (we recycled) and place it inconspicuously under chair wheels so they would pop as soon as the victim would roll the chair back... :bigsmile:

    Unplug something. A prankster unplugged my cubicle overhead light. When it didn't come on, I jiggled the switch, took the bulb out and put it back, etc. You could do this with a phone jack, radio, etc . It works with best with things where the cord is generally out of site, out of mind so that it is the last thing they would think of. Another thing that happened to me once: I kept a radio on my desk, with the volume turned really low. One morning before I came in, they turned the volume to the MAX, so when I turned it on, it blasted me. You could maybe do this with computer speakers?

    If you get the bottles of water delivered to your office with the little paper cups, I have one that my boss did to me one time. He filled a whole bunch of the little cups half full of water and set them all over my desk.

    You could also get those little plastic insects and hide them in drawers, areas on their desks and other places where they will find them over time.

    Another prank a co-worker played on me one time was he wrote "I'M STUPID" on a sticky note and stuck it on my back. I walked a couple businesses over to go to the little deli/store unknowingly wearing that sticky note.
  • I did the phone one (sticking the receiver down with tape) on April Fools day last year. It was really funny. My co-worker actually phoned out before anyone phoned her first. So when she tried to hang up it wouldn't. She just kept slamming the phone down and couldn't figure out why that stupid phone didn't work.

    All this makes me miss the office environment...well maybe not!
  • Oh one more. Switch the M and N on the computer keyboard. It takes someone a long time to figure out why they keep making so many mistakes. :laugh:

    You could put a note on one of the guys cars.
    "Sorry I hit your car, no damage"

    I had this done to me, and the look I got on the highway home made me wonder. Not until I got home did my fiancee tell me that I had something attached to my license plate.

    Piece of paper nicely cut and write something like "<make of car> Sucks" or " I wear a dress on Fridays" you catch the drift.

    Thing is nobody checks their license plate when they get in their car.
    So you can get all the guys in one day.

    Nice.



    I think they did a prank here where they reversed the door knobs so it locked from the outside lol

    I did a prank for someone's 50th birthday. I put a fart machine in the ceiling and I would hand off the little remote to people and as they would walk by they would press it haha he thought it was in the wall.

    I am the first person that gets to work everyday. Some of the guys out in the service department put one of those motion-activated, life-size Santas in the breakroom where we punch in and out after I had left for the day. So when I came in....all alone, in the dark the next morning the stupid thing started dancing around and singing really loud. I damn near took it's head off with my purse I was so scared:laugh:

    Man I have the most boring coworkers EVER!

    I'm am TOTALLY taping a coworker's phone for April Fool's day. He's older, and horribly unobservant and he gets SO MAD when *technology* doesn't work correctly (it's so always a user error). :laugh: I know I'll give myself away as soon as I hear him griping about it but OMG it's going to be so funny. I'm nearly in tears just thinking about it now.

    Haha..this one is a good one. We have these human sized cardboard cut outs...I think when I'm the first one to arrive on Monday (which I usually am). I'm going to stick this on the other side of the door... its usually pretty dark in here...we don't turn on all the lights until we're about ready to open. So, I usually just turn my office light on. He's going to pee in his pants!! hahahaha...I hope I can contain myself..hahaha

    HAHA...I'm going to try to think of something to write on a piece of paper to stick to his truck. He's got this big souped up truck and think's its the bomb & super manly, so I'm going to do something along the lines of "Hannah Montana is my HERO"..haha.. since he always talks about how he hates his little girls watching that show. Haha...oh man, these ideas are making me laugh.... I love Fridays

    These are great.

    I suggest taking all the holes (chad) from the hole punches and spreading them in their drawers and over their desk. They will be finding them forever.

    If you have a breakroom tape the lil sprayer on the sink and when it is turned on the sprayer will spray all over him. I do this to my husband sometimes at home. :devil:
