Office Pranks

Contributor: ~LaUr3n~ ~LaUr3n~
When I was a probation officer, we played pranks on each other all the time. I would make signs and put them on the officers doors with funny nicknames that their clients would not be able to ignore. We used to throw things over the cubicles or play weird music that would make others laugh. When I first started they would all tell me different things to confuse me on purpose. It was a great time since everyone had a good sense of humor.

Anyone do anything epic like these pranks? LINK

My best friend in high school had an apartment right after high school (he was 2 years older). The light in the kitchen didn't work, so in order to turn the lights on you had to walk through the kitchen in to the living room and flip the wall switch; which turned on the lights and ceiling fan.

One day I duct taped an open box of cereal to one of the blades of the ceiling fan, set the ceiling fan to high and then left. When he came home later that night he flipped the switch and cereal sprayed the room. The next time I was over the empty box was still on the fan, and a box worth of cereal was still on the floor.

One of more common ones is filling someones cube or office with balloons and having a single push pin on the door to pop them all.

But the best one I ever saw or heard of was wrapping everything on someones desk, including the desk in aluminum foil..... HILLARIOUS!

I used to work as a security guard at a factory just south of Ann Arbor. There was an old administration building that we used to have to patrol. It was really weird going through there because of all the spiders/rodents and because no one was ever in there besides yourself.

I also used to have an eccentric co-worker who was certifiable.

Another co-worker of mine and I took turns one day rearranging the furniture and trash around the building on our patrols and say something along the lines of "Huh, looks like the admin ghost is active again. This will make reports fun."

Yeah, he almost quit that day.

The only prank-like activity I can think of happened when I was giving a presentation to a large group of people. A coworker created what looked like a printout of a CNN story, inserted a photo of me and added a story title about my presentation. He pinned this up so people would see it as they entered the auditorium.

I didn't see it until my talk was over. I thought it was hilarious.

lol poor guy! That's great!

Because our budget was so small, I could not drug test my probationers every time...but I would fake it.

"You ready for your drug test?...here ya go." I wouldn't actually have the funds to test them, but their faces would tell me all I needed to know...HAHA.

I work at my university's student-run radio station, where our mascot is a gorilla- Freddie Z. Whenever we have events or go run around on the quad passing things out, we usually have someone dressed up in the Freddie suit.

That suit gets hot as HELL, so if we know we're going to be in it in advance, we usually bring shorts and an old t-shirt to throw on before we suit up.

Naturally, those of us left in the station that don't go out for the event will find Freddie's left-behind pants and hide them. Once we had our general manager convinced for about a half hour that he just lost them

I used to wait tables at Bennigan's before they bit the bullet and we used to fuck with the line cooks all the time. There was one guy who always ragged on me at work and outside of work. It's just what we did.

Well, the entire crew went out to a local bar one night like we always did after work and he was ragging on me at the bar while getting a beer. I, sitting next to my virginal and innocent boyfriend at the time, threatened to smack him in the face with a vibrator if he didn't stop. He kept on...and I followed through with my threat. I smacked him in the face, in the bar, in front of about 40 people, with a plastic blue cock with bumps.

Don't know if that counts as a prank, but it goes to show not to doubt a girl when she makes a threat to smack you in the face with a sex toy.

Once when I was a prep-cook it was my turn to make the sandwiches for the soup-n-sandwich lunch special, so I made the frenchbread sized sandwiches as per usual, but did two 'bad' things to them: one of them had a layer of plastic wrap bunched up inside the sandwich as another layer, the other I wrapped fifty thousand times in plastic wrap. The lunch cook on duty who had to open up and cut the sandwiches was not pleased when she discovered all the plastic wrap.

HA! Thank you That was definitely one of the infamous moments of the Bennigan's days. He never EVER lived that one down. People would ask him when we worked together how it felt to get cock slapped by a girl. LOL.

Ok so I have many prank tales to tell, I'll just tell a few.

My first office job out of high school was at a motorcycle dealership. I started there in HS as the receptionist and got moved up to Finance and then Office MGR. which sucked, because I had to be the one to give the peeps the boot. One day I come in to work and the service MGR was waiting in my office, looking sick to his tummy. He told me that he went to use the bathroom up in the service department, and when he opened the door he found our newest sales guy with a hooker getting a BJ. YEP! So, needless to say I had to give that guy the boot, and as soon as I told him to pack up his shit I got on the intercom and said "Hey Team, guess what... It's that time again," and then I played Another one bites the dust, by QUEEN as loud as our intercom could bump it... pretty fuckin' loud. I don't think he'll ever love that song again.

Second prank I'll share, is after I got out of culinary school, I had a couple diff jobs. One being at a wholesale pastry shop in my city. To make the story short, I had been scooping chocolate mousse and using a warm bowl of water to dip my scoop in to get a nice clean finish. My boss hired a new driver that day who was straight off the boat from Scotland, and when the driver came back from deliveries, I had a cup of the chocolate water left over from scooping waiting. I offered him some "chocolate milk" and he gulped it down thirstily. He then asked me "was that some type of light milk?" I responded with a devils smile, "yeah really light, as in no not milk at all, just my dipping water!" He gave me the biggest grin with huge eyes, and responded with "your my kinda girl."

I was just skimming through the forum, and when I came across this post something funny just popped into my head.

Can you imagine taking someones bottle of clear hand sanitizer, emptying it, and then refilling back up with silicone lube?

With silicone lube a little goes a long way. With hand sanitizer it evaporates so you tend use it pretty generously. This could be very funny!

LMAO, yea that would totally be funny!

I read a prank yesterday about a bad waitress. The girls at the table put coasters over their cups, flipped them over, and then pulled the coasters trapping the liquid inside. They then left and the waitress would have been unable to move them without making a huge mess.

(Well, likely not, but that would be funny as hell.)

We actually just pulled the balloon prank on someone at my office for their bday. It took about 160 really large balloons and we work in the natural gas utility so we roped off his cube entrance with the bright yellow 'caution gas line buried below' warning tape. He's a really good sport and actually took a running leap and DOVE into them.

I've always wanted to put someones desk accessories in jello - the stapler, mouse, etc. - like Jim on The Office used to do to Dwight.

My sister and I play pranks on each other. None as elaborate as the ones you linked, but funny.

Once I was making tuna salad for lunch. Family was all seated around the table chatting and she was standing up next to me, talking. I casually took the bowl of tuna salad and dumped it down the front of her shirt, smearing it into her cleavage. My parents started laughing and I did too. I was laughing so hard, with my mouth wide open, and she took a handful of it and crammed it into my mouth. Everyone started laughing even harder at that. We do stuff like that all the time.

ACTUALLY....

I know a guy who is SOO OCD that he applies hand sanitizer almost constantly. I've even seen him apply it to his gloves when he was wearing them. Another time I saw him wash his hands with his gloves on.

A friend actually came up with this as a prank; of course they came to me for the lube. Unfortunately, he's never without his bottle long enough to nab it to replace it.

My other idea was to put some super glue in it too.

I work in a very large software company and pranks are constant. The generally accepted rules are that you cannot destroy anything you don't personally own and you can't make it impossible for another person to do their job (annoying, inconvenient and uncomfortable is okay, though). And nothing abusive or mean.

My favorites have been:

One time my husband and myself were in the office on a weekend and we went around the lab we both worked in and took out all the rubber balls from roller mice and put tape over the optical mice sensors. We hid the balls in the microwave in the kitchen. Took a while for people to discover why they didn't work.

One group had a habit of checking the computers to make sure the employees had locked them. If you didn't, they'd send an email from your account saying "I'm too dumb to lock my computer. Fire me.". This email went to the entire group.

One guy went on his honeymoon and kept sending taunting emails and photos of his island fun. Just before he came back a bunch of people got together and put a big tarp down in his office, covered it with play sand and put a kiddie pool in there with water and some tiki glasses. Then one guy came in really early and brought in a goat (yes a LIVE goat) he locked in the office just until the victim came in and found it.

When I worked in a group that had cubicles, we once used cardboard to wall off the cube, wrapped everything in the cube individually in plastic wrap and filled the cube to the top with popped popcorn.

In the same group, we "borrowed" a wall section for the cubes and completely walled off one guy's cube so the only way in was to hop over the top.

One fellow got all the contents of his office he needed to work (desk section, computer, monitor, keyboard, phone, etc) moved into the handicapped stall in the men's room. We even strung cables so he had connectivity in there.

One time we ran industrial velcro all the way around the door frame and the door of one guy's office. This is the really sticky stuff that's hard to get off. Gave it a day to cure (he was out) and then it took about 4 of us to get the door shut. He couldn't get it open so finally climbed in over the top of the wall, through the drop ceiling. We did help him open it - eventually.

One of the people in my current group had a sign show up on his door "Honk if you love architects". About a month later, someone had found a bright pink bicycle horn for a girl's bicycle and bolted it to his door handle. We hear people honking it about every day.

There are more - 15 years of more, trust me! LOL

I worked as cook when I was in high school and we would do nothing but mess with each other while working. My one friend would always throw ice cubes in the fryer when you were near it (which would cause hot grease to shoot out and burn you). My favorite prank to pull... I would take a slice of cheese and set it on the hot grille for a second and then slap it my friends shirt. The piece of cheese would melt into his shirt and instantly cool. It wouldn't really cool off without washing. During slower shifts the whole back of his shirt would be melted cheese.

Yep - came in once and everything in my office had been wrapped in pallet wrap and there were signs saying "Sealed for your protection" on everything.

Came in another time to find that my desk and chair were lowered to as close to the ground as they could get.

A few drops of crazy glue can make anything hilarious! Also a few well placed padlocks can also be a great time!

that's a quote now: "A few drops of crazy glue can make anything hilarious"

When I used to work security at a factory, some of the guys would hide each other's toolboxes. One time a millwright found their stuff on the roof. Another time, an engineer found their tricycle (used for getting around a huge factory faster) mounting another tricycle.
