office pranks

I want more.

I wrote a batch file that i keep on my desktop, when I double click it, it opens a cd drive on a guy's computer 30 feet away. I do that about 11 times a day, i like it when i can hear him cry "it's doing it again!!!!!" Then I go over and say "weird! Well. I don't have time to fix this right now, it's not critical".

rofl... you are evol Taco... hehe

2 words: FLASH PROJECTORS

Snapshot a desktop, throw it into Flash, make each desktop folder make a doody upon click, export as a projector movie, run, and BAM!

thanks mang.

I might just take a screenshot of desktop and make it the wallpaper, and hide all the real desktop icons in a folder.....

but then I'd actually have to go fix it, fekk that.

Superglue! All sorts of possibilities

Superglue is great for quickly sealing papercuts (and safe, too). Oh wait, we're talking about raising the level of entropy...

The office pranks are endless here...I am the reigning queen in my office.

Part of our organization is a warehouse...our boss went on vacation and his last
comment to us is that nothing would go on we didnt know about and the place won't
fall apart. No, it won't but shit hit the fan after he left. Sooooo, since we didnt want things to fall apart, when he came back we had put shrink wrap in his entire office.
His chair, his computer, his drawers and cabinets.

Another time, this one guy said that he didnt want to see a bunch of these papers all over his desk. So we stapled them to his cube walls, taped them to his cabinets,
even made a "door" of paper that we hung across the front of his cube.

My favorite is to take the mic piece out of their telephones and watch them say hello
a bunch of times after they answer the phone. They get pissed, hang up, caller calls back, they answer again. Works every time.

THANK YOU

Gluing the receiver to the phone works well too. They try and try to pick it up before they figure out what's going on.

I've also filled a co-workers cube with those shipping peanuts, messy but entertaining.

If you have a co-worker who is really anal about organization, go into their office before they come in or after they leave and just completely rearrange everything. Do it for days. It makes them completely nuts.

Oh and BTW - I LOVE the CD idea - must try that one.

I was once duct-taped to a flagpole when I was caught putting vaseline on a coworkers desk accessories

use this :)

Take a paper clip to the photocopier. Make a bunch of copies of the paper clip in different positions on the paper.

Put the photocopied paper back into the machine. People will spend quite a bit of time trying to find that darn paperclip while copying.

Take a screen shot of the victims desktop....then replace the wallpaper with this screenshot. Now hide all the folders and the task bar and you have hours of fun watching them click on the picture and wondering why nothing happens.

Talen,

quit drinking at work and read post #4 to this thread.

And Neehai, I LOVE that

Great Link! You know muting the sound, turning the monitor off and logging the user out have great potential too.

That's friggin' brilliant!

When two (ore more) people are working a desks that are put next to each other, switch their telephone cords. With all those cables lying around it will take some time before they find that one out!

Put a piece of onion or a clove of garlic inside the mouthpiece of a phone. Give it some time for it to fester and build up a strong odor. Then call them and keep them on the phone for as long as possible.

It is always a good habit to lock your computer before heading off for coffee or a smoke. When someone forgets and leaves a Word document or an email open, type a single word somewhere in the text. “f*ck” or so will do nicely. They’ll never notice and send it out.

Go into MS Word or similar program on co-worker's computer, and add an entry to the AutoCorrect feature. This is a very simple prank that will send the novice user into a frenzy. Configure the AutoCorrect option to replace the word "the" with the phrase "you suck!". They will usually panick and start scanning for viruses.

This is for that special person you just cant stand in the office, the one who talks on the phone all day with their boyfriend/girlfriend and gets personal e-mail all day. Go into their e-mail and change their defaults to autmatically "blind carbon copy" their boss or supervisor. Heads will roll!

Try "password securing" someone's screen saver. First I suggest changing the screen saver to "scrolling marque" and inserting your own word or phrase, "Mr. Jones (president or supervisor) eats SHlT" or something to that effect.

Depending where you are at you may have a cafeteria in you place of work. Every week most of them put out a menu so you know what they are serving. Usually it is done on Word or Excel, and not extremely fancy. With a little work, matching fonts, and images you can make your own menus, and post them by your desk. We had one co-worker avoid the cafeteria for 2 weeks because of the selection "fish head stew" etc... before he caught on. Works great with picky eaters.

My absolutely most favorite prank I have saved for last. It is so simple to do and yields such nice results. Simply pop out the 'm' and 'n' key on someone's keyboard and reverse the two. Any flat tool will work. Just pry it with little pressure and they will easily come right off. Then just sit back and watch the confusion.

posted without readind doh...but his seems like much more work

ok heres one that doesn't involve technology.

After your victim leaves the office on friday tape off their cubicle entry and fill the whole cubicle with styrafoam peanuts...monday morning becomes fun

yes my boss and I had a turn off monitor war until we agreed on an official truce.

vasoline on the door knob or even lotion...and then watch when the next person goes
to leave. the look on their face as they look at their hand is priceless!

i superglued a silver dollar to the cement outside a window i had a view of once, it was fun.

Along those lines, one I haven't done in a long time, the vasoline under the car door handle.

You the man!

Taco Taco Taco!! Can you tell me how to use NirCmd to open the disk drive on someone elses computer on the same network? They're connected using a router and I have no idea.. I've been sitting here opening my own disk drive using the commands for the last 10 minutes though...

I opened one of those flat packets of tuna and slid it far back under an evil co-worker's desk once. She had so much paperwork and boxes under her desk, it took her ages to figure out what was reeking.

It was so great hearing people talking about how bad it smelled by her desk!

Once when I was a Recruiter for the Army my cohort n I went through and pulled all the number pads on the phones and reversed their orders so that the 1,2,3 started at the bottom instead of the top like normal.

When it came time to start cold calling it was a roar in the office as all the recruiters couldn't figure out why the numbers they were dialing were all wrong.
