My cousin did this to people in his office and he sits near the copier so he got to see all of it, he said the most lulz came from the female executive who got very demanding and uppity with the uncooperative printer, and the flamboyantly gay dude who got really upset and dramatic when it wouldn't work.

I used to do this at NTB all the time. Throw them at Techs or customers I knew well and could take a joke.

Every time we go in a parts store, my buddy does this to me; "Here, catch!" And I fall for it EVERY_TIME.

It began simply enough but quickly escalated to all out war!

Absolutely loved the fake proposal @ Yankee Stadium.

The half million dollars was heart breaking.

The skydiving one is my real nightmare.

This thread is full of great pranks!

I work in a parts store. A few years ago I was taking a dump and a few employees stacked like 15 antifreeze cases infront of the bathroom door. It was funny, but I was able to get the door open (barely) and get out. Later one of those employees went to export a pringles can.......... So I parked the forklift infront of the door. Left him to smell his own shame for about 30 minutes.

Picture 53, thats my highschool from Senior Prank from some recent year. For part of my senior prank, I hung a full garbage can from the ceiling and the vice principal was the one to cut the string to get it down, not knowing it was full :D

It's not so much a prank as a way to amuse myself on slow days. At work I see a lot of the same slightly off people and many of them view me as a captive audience for whatever crazy they are peddling that day, usually gov't conspiracies or collecting signatures for something. I try and come up with my own story and see how far I can go before the think I'm crazy too. one of my favorites was when I was working near Battery Park. I was on a bench having lunch next to one of my regular 9/11 nuts when someone asked for directions to the Statue of Liberty.

After they left he turned to me and said he wanted to go there. I told him not to bother since the real statue was sold years ago. The story was that when Reagan took office inspite of the huge debt Carter left him he decided to blow money away on "restoring" Lady Liberty". After spending all that money she was the same awful green color but we weren't in as much debt anymore. What really happened was that he had the copper stripped and sold to the Chinese who were desperate for it and payed way over market value for it. It was then reskinned in Fiberglass but had to be painted green again because there were problems getting that much copper paint. That money then went on to help us beat the Soviets into submission and end the cold war. I drug this story out for about half an hour and he couldn't wait to tell his fellow nuts.

I tried a variation on this one a while back... Background: In my office, if you leave your computer unlocked and wander away for any length of time, someone will inevitably come along and replace your desktop image with one of David Hasselhoff. So my variation on this was to print a small picture of Mr. Hasselhoff, cut it out and tape it to the underside of a coworker's optical mouse. Then, when they were looking at their mouse to figure out why it wasn't working, they were greeted with a nice photo of "The Hoff"

We used Hello Kitty at one place I worked. That or change all of the sounds to clips of "Never Gonna Give you up", Rick Astley's masterpiece.

I like the Hoff pic on the mouse idea.

One of the funny guys at work was gone for a week. We taped his phone headset speaker so he couldn't hear. A few other things, but the best was refilling his hand sanitizer with "personal lubricant".

1.) I've always wanted to put white plastidip in a paint pen and run it down the side of someone's car so it looks like it was keyed. 2.) Put pepper in somebody's HVAC intake. 3.) Pour vinegar on someone's car- vinegar isn't corrosive but it sure as heck leaves a nasty smell behind and is easily washed away.

Don't leave your smart phone alone and unlocked. These four are from my coworkers.

Open up his Facebook account and post that "I have just accepted a temporary position in China. and I will be gone for three years and will miss you all"

Go to the settings and change the font to 70.

Email his manager and cc: the whole office saying that "I know the budget is tight this year for raises so it would OK with me if you paid me with women and booze".

Change the ring tone to "It's Raining Men"

I have dozens of good ones. Some of my other favorites are that before my operation I played Punky Brewster and two Lyndon LaRouche who I have convinced that I was intimately involved in the gov'ts work bringing down the twin towers. I can't tell them any classified details about how or why but my screw up is why 7 WTC didn't fall right away. Now to repay me for my loyalty and quiet I get paid to stand ina bus stop and flirt with college girls.
