What are some good ones you've pulled?

A guy in our office was on a health kick for a while, and kept bringing in boiled eggs which he'd crack on the desk and then eat. One day I slipped out and bought a fresh egg and switched them when he was in the toilet. He got yolk all over his keyboard.

There was a big scandal here in Australia a while ago because a famous footballer named "Wayne Carey" was caught touching a chick's boob. We have a guy in our office with the same name, so we got three people to call him up and abuse him all day. When he asked where they got his number, we got them to say "it was written on the toilet wall at Flinders St. Station".

Our mail gets opened by a secretary and then circulated around the office by hand. I got a speeding fine (company car, all infringments come to the office) in the post one day, so I scanned it, changed all the details to that of a co-worker, and then for three successive days I slipped "speeding fines" into the mail addressed to him with bullshit details of when they happened. The prank ended after he sent a letter to the civic compliance department abusing them.

With the same guy, I also put a trojan on his computer giving me remote control and spent a whole day trying not to laugh when he complained to everyone that he had a virus and that his CD drive kept opening randomly. He's known to be really shit with computers so no-one believed him. Once or twice an hour I'd make a message pop up saying "Unhandled error number 532av6" or something like that, and made sure that it couldn't be closed or minimised, then as soon as he went to get help, I'd get rid of it. Fun day.

Another one that happens pretty frequently is people sending emails from other people's computers, such as "my wife just filed for divorce and I'm back on the market. Not sure if you've noticed me, I'm the tall guy with glasses who sits beside the window. We should go out for a coffee" etc.

Far and away my favourite is logging onto an sexual dysfunction website based here which is very well known, signing people up (incl. phone number and full name), and then listening in when someone calls up and says "Hi, I'm such and such from AMI, I'm just calling about your erection problem, can I book you in for an appointment?"

Post your good pranks. I'm out of ideas and need some new ones.

change the name tag on someone's office, empty out all their personal things like pictures, credentials on the wall, etc.; replace all those things with someone else's and when they come in the next morning pretend casually like they've been fired or something. get all the neighboring staff to play along.

hilarity ensues.

Those are all good ones!

The only one we used to do regularly initially required a bit of prep work, namely, telling the guys at the local hardware store what was going on.

Every time we got a new guy coming to work for us (it was a pub in the UK, so that was quite often) we'd send them down to the hardware store for a long stand. They'd go in and ask "Such and such just sent me down here for a long stand?" and the hardware guys would say "Oh, you want a long stand? No worries, just wait here", and then promptly fuck off for an hour or more, leaving the guy with....a long stand.

haha... reminds me of when I was working as an intern at some rehab hospital while in Grad school. I needed 1000 hours of interning before I could leave that place. The problem was, I would finish my work by lunch time every day. How the hell was I going to get the 1000 hours in?

I had to look busy so I went with the age-old simple and effective system: instead of pounding out the work early, I spaced it out... then I would just walk around the hallways really fast holding a folder full of papers acting like I was in a hurry. If anyone said "Kevin, I need you for something!" I'd just be like (continuing to speed walk) "Sure hang on though I gotta take care of something first," and just find a vacant office or something to kill some time.

The last couple of months there, I had 2 new interns doing all my work, was showing up late, taking 2 hour lunches, and then leaving early after making sure my interns had the work done. Can't get away with that shit nowadays!

its shit like this that makes me wish i worked in an office

we used to get up to some crazy things when i worked night shift, especially down the "death corridor" (was a section of the hospital we put people who were about to die, funnily enough it was right near the back door).
A male nurse i used to work with went on break and one of his patients had died, the undertakers came and collected the body while he was still on break. So i thought it would be funny to press the call bell, and jump in the bed. So when he walked into the dark room i just sat up, he seriously turned white like he had seen a ghost now when i think about it, i could of given him a heartattack

I just started work in a really cool place and all my coworkers are cool.

I was thinking of actually having like a candyball machine or doing something cool because everybody is cool.
