Talking When bored at work

Ok Lets be honest a lot of you people post from work. Anyway in creative fun I am wondering if you would like to share pranks you pull on people at work. Nothing mean or harmful but just LOL types of pranks you know of or have done. I will start hopefully you will add.

The “What’s That Smell?” This is the art of hiding left over Chinese takeout (or any) in your buddies cube. Usually placed hidden in a nook or cranny and not found for a day or too.

The “Phone Ninja” Well I work in a box of a bunch of cubes. Which are in the center of the building and offices line the walls of this relative square. This prank is the art of waiting till someone leaves there office running in (unseen to all) and dialing up your buddies phone. Works well when it is his boss that keeps calling over and over. No one is ever on the other line so when you buddy picks up it is dead air until the phone hangs up on its self. After selecting a target the ninja then throughout the day runs from cube to office to cube calling your target all day. It gets to the point that the target gets frustrated and jumps up looking into the office where the prank call is made from but they see nothing. This is because the phone ninja has already made a dash to hide from sight and is currently commando crawling to his own desk unseen below the cube walls. (This sounds far fetched but let me assure you the guy who sits in the cube next to me is a master of it…I have seen him “Pete Rose” Head first dive into his cube so he is not caught)

Any prank I would pull would, at best case scenario, give me an hour of drill outside, and at worst, confined to barracks for the weekend.

But we do pull a lot of jokes on each other and on our superiors and we laught pretty much all the time

Spot a laptop.

Go into graphic settings.

Turn the screen by 180 degrees.

Watch.

plug their mouse and keyboard into yours (if you sit right next to them) (you may need to wait for them to walk away if they have to login)

play sly

when they sit down, open up word and start typing out creepy stuff like their computer is possessed, make sure what you type responds to their reaction

Tape an old can of tuna under a co-workers desk where they can't see it. EPIC

I find that most of the places I have worked at I never had time to do much outside of work (I was a temp), and most of the places had no internet or just about everything was blocked on it. (trust issues there I believe....they dont seem to block im-what'd'yacallit...chatting over the computer with friends)....and any prank, if I had done it, would have resulted in my termination (and the likelihood that there would be no more assignments from my temp agency)....so we didnt do that kind of stuff.

Covering the desk in post-its.

Hiding funny pictures in the notary's book.

We somehow acquired a picture of our statement rep. He has since been decorated with a pirate hat, microphone, and who I believe to be some guy from The OC.

I Leekspan about 8 people at once through some chatroom that the school admins have set up when you're on school accounts. My mate tried to get me to send the dancing Meatspin one but I told him that I'd probably get excluded for 2 weeks.

This.

Anyone who leaves their laptop laying around will be a victim. Also, you must hide the start menu. Definitely good fun.
