Office Pranks

Pranks in the workplace are the backbone of the corporate infrastructure. Some of the most inventive and effective pranks have taken place in the office.

We do not recommend trying these pranks as it will likely get you fired or possibly even a broken nose.

If you do attempt an office prank please remember that the bosses typically don't have a great sense of humor about these types of things...

Cup Message
If your victim has their own personal coffee cup, take a permanent felt-tip marker and write something offensive on the bottom of the cup. Every time they take a drink they will show the message. “I am a Dumbass”, “Bite Me” and “Gay and Proud!” are especially effective.

Switch Lunch Items
Investigate and document what they usually bring to lunch. Pick one item and buy or make something very similar to that and switch it out when they aren’t looking. For example, if they bring a peanut butter sandwich, switch it with a bologna sandwich that looks just like it. Leave everything else just as it was. After a few days of this they will start to lose their mind…

A Full Horde of Cups
Fill 30-40 paper cups up with water and place them next to each other on your victim’s desk. Staple or tape them all together securely, and observe as he/she arrives at work and is stumped about how to go about removing the cups off the desk.

Mouse Trap
If your victim uses an optical mouse, place a small post it note over the eye of the mouse. When your victim tries to use their mouse it won't work. When they decide to look underneath it, they will see a the other side of the note which reads, "Eat Me!"

A Return Call Would Be Appreciated
Call your victim while they are away and leave a message saying Mr. Lyon (or Mr. Behr) called and would appreciate a call back. Then leave the phone number for the local zoo on the answering machine for this person to call.

Bnwergfn Nfwwef!!!
You have to be extra careful with this one, as to not ruin the computer keyboard. All you have to do is simply and very carefully remove a few keys and switch them around. If your victim is an accomplished typist they will be very frustrated while trying to get work done.

Change Drawers
While your co-worker is away remove his desk drawers and switch them around. He will definitely scratch his head over this one. Hint: In case you cannot remove the drawers, just remove the items and swap them.

Swap Out the Pens
Take all of your co-workers pens and replace them with pens that you glued caps on the night before. You will enjoy watching them the rest of the day.
