So I decided that my office needed to play more practical jokes. My boss has a board on her door with motivational phrases and sayings pinned to it so yesterday I added one just to see how long it would taker her to notice. It said Live, Laugh, Lard. If she doesn't notice by Friday then this one is going up.
Anyone doing any fun practical jokes they wanna share? I can always use fresh ideas.

Diabolical, remind me never to piss you off, it reminds me of South Park, when Cartman bought Scott Tennamens Pubes lol, one of my favorites.1 -

Man, I sometimes miss my old firm. My current office is just not "fun" like that.
But at my old firm? We had so much fun.
Here's my favorite. One of my colleagues had a weird cat halloween bowl in his office. We made fun of him. He swore it wasn't his. He swore he wasn't into cats. For the next year or so, we:- placed random cat figurines in his office from time to time
- drew a cat on his whiteboard
- put a cat sticker on the bottom of his mouse so it wouldn't work (this one was extra awesome, because he didn't even figure it out and called IT and THEY immediately turned it over and said, "well, this here kitty cat is your problem.)
- sent him a subscription to "Cat Fancy"
- hung that poster of a kitten falling off a tree and saying "oh, *kitten*" on the back of his door
He never made the connection between our initial joke about his cat bowl and the constant cat jokes.3 -
We went to Spain for a batchelor party for my friend getting married. We booked his flight home for the day after all of ours - he wasn't aware until at the airport trying to check in for the return flight
He had to go and find a hotel for the night and fly home alone the next day lol0 -
And this one time (at band camp) me and my neighbor, J, had played a harmless and not even that funny prank on another colleague. And one morning, when I got to work, all of the stuff in my office had been moved to J's office, and all of HER stuff was in mine. It must have taken him hours to do that the night before, but it was totally worth it. Funniest prank ever.0

I also tinfoiled one of our doctors offices one year, he would always leave banana peels on random places on my car. I remember one time I was driving home and turned on the rear windshield wiper and there was a banana peel swinging back and forth.2

I once kidnapped someone's guinea pig and placed a lb of ground beef covered in my own hair (compliments of the barber) and fake blood in its cage. It looked awful.
They had a cat too, so it was assumed the cat destroyed the poor thing.
Happy ending though, the guinea pig was returned unharmed and I tasted the tears of unfathomable sadness.3 -

Lol love that South Park episode, we were just talking about that episode...I couldn't for the life of me remember what he said about the tears, so thanks for that!1 -
when I used to have a job I would add items to co-worker's "To Do" list that they would have on their desk or on a white board. Sometimes it would be stuff like "clean out belly button". Had to keep it pretty clean.

Ask someone to page Mike Hunt...
Fill out a couple of hundred magazine subscription cards in someone's name (I did this once, long ago, to a miserable prick of a neighbor...the mailman had to use a hand truck!)
Master the art of the phony phone call. This is not so easy anymore with caller ID, but it can still be hilarious. I've used the Chinese food delivery ruse a couple of times with great results...
Smoke bombs and stink bombs are always a big hit, but be careful in environments with central HVAC...it will spread where you didn't intend!
There used to be small stickers of yellow screws that could be placed over the red hearts on those idiotic "I heart my Cocker Spaniel" bumper stickers...
Writing imaginative stuff in the dust on someone's car is fun for the drivers behind them. Writing backward on the outside of the window is fun for the person driving.
Crazy gluing office implements onto the desk - staplers, tape dispensers, pens, etc. (full strength acetone nail polish will release them) Just make sure it's not anything personal or necessarily valuable.
We have had a lot of fun photoshopping people's family photos. We make a scanned copy, then store the original safely, and 'edit' the copy, and place it back in the frame, then wait til they notice! Like inserting Marvel Comic heroes or the Three Stooges into photos of family gatherings...
I once made a pan of brownies just very lightly laced with cayenne pepper and left it on the counter in the cafeteria. Everyone thought they were coming down with something...!
There have been many MANY other examples of hijinks over the years, but these are a few I remember right now. If only I could get paid for this stuff!1 -
Co-worker left his computer unlocked.
I took a screenshot, saved it, closed all his programs, and made the screenshot into his wallpaper. Confusion and hilarity.5 -
Done this, but placed the horn under the "drop" lever so there was no easy recovery. Victim sat down, chair height dropped horn would not shut off......
One of my more regular things is to add apiece of clear tape to either the mic or ear piece of a desk phone (makes things quiet for somebody) and/or add a little dirty tape to obscure the sensor on someone's mouse.
Most of the keyboards/mice are wireless in the office that I'm in, swapping a mouse (or keyboard) into an adjacent cube can be a big hit as well.

I've done this too, add to that, reverse the mouse so it moves the opposite direction that it's supposed to.2 -
I printed male pin up pictures, blew up my coworkers head and put them on the pictures. I basically made a calendar "Naughty November" Etc. it became such a thing that people started adding to it and he had like 20 pics by the time we were done they stayed up for like 2 years.

I blew up an elementary school pic (mullett, pre-braces, etc.) of a coworker, turned it into a Missing Child poster and put it up in our breakroom. Behind it I had pics slowly panning out to see his name in the yearbook. It was a really bad photo of him. I put it up when he had a couple of days off so everyone could see it, including the girl he had a thing for. He was not amused when he came in for his next shift.
Haha. That's terrible. Sounds more like bullying than pranking.2 -

Love that!
In the early days of smartphones, I had a co-worker who's favorite thing in the entire world was to find someone's unlocked blackberry and send a random e-mail from it. We all learned, very quickly, never to just leave your blackberry on your desk if you went to the bathroom or the printer or something. His messages were always harmless, always hilarious, but our employer put the SMACKDOWN on him.1 -
