Pranks and Practical Jokes at the workplace

Green Lantern · #1 09-17-2008, 09:04 AM

One of the things the folks here where I work do to keep our sanity and keep from losing our minds is to play pranks and practical jokes on each other.

We have used bungee cords to lock people in the bathroom.

We have thrown empty metal cans on the hard floor to scare everyone when it is dead silent.

I told one of the girls here, while she was on the phone with her boss to ask how his neighborhood smelled. Taken back, her manager asked why and she said (all on her own, i didn't even have to prompt her) "Because you live there!" I fell out of my chair laughing my ass off.

I have shrink wrapped a co workers car in the parking lot.

We've tied cans to the underside of a co-workers car

What pranks or practical jokes have you done around the work place?

we did something stupid once where we photocopied our ID card picture, and taped it over people's wedding
pictures on their desk.

So, they would go days without realizing, then glance over and find my ugly mug taped over the head
of their husband in the wedding picture. Some people go a week or two without looking at their pictures.

We had a guy who was an Arson and Theft investigator. He was all business, Jack Webb, just the facts kind of guy. He'd go to suspected criminals houses and sweat them down about whether they torched or arranged the theft of their own property for the insurance money.

We stuck a bumper sticker on the back of his company car with a picture of a monkey that read "I Fling Poo".

He didn't see it for a couple weeks. Man, he was all pissed off.

"I'm out there trying to be serious and intimidate! What do you think it makes us look like when I drive off with that on my car!"

I used to work in a shop full of practical jokers. The kind of guys who would hide your roll away tool box or use the lift to put it on top of a machine. One time I took a box of screws and misc. parts, dumped it out, put a open can of sardines in it and put the screws and parts back on top. I then put it back on his tool box. It took him a week and a half to figure it out. You know I was just getting him back. ( I tried to duct tape it to the bottom of his roll away but it was to oily to stick.)

Department of Agriculture- we put a dead crab under the seat of the lead forester's truck seat. It took him a week to figger it out. He put one under my truck seat so I made up a buncha flyers selling his personal truck for a really low price, and I put on the flyer to only call after 11 pm hehehe he was pissed about that one. Oh my are there so many others....tape the sink sprayer open and point it towards the front of the sink, wait for the next person to come along....

When a friend of my husbands went on vacation, we took princess wrapping paper and literally wrapped everything in his cubicle. To top it off, we put up all of his papers/shelves/etc. back on the walls. It took a couple of hours, but it was so worth it! It took him forever to get all of it off!
