I just pulled one of the greatest pranks on an officemate today. I had to retaliate because he filled my bed with popcorn sometime over the last 3 weeks (I've been in Hawaii on my honeymoon and he was watching my place and my cat).
This morning I managed to get on his computer while he was in the break room getting coffee. The steps were simple:
1: Screen capture his desktop
2: Remove auto arrange and align to grid for desktop icons and move them all off screen
3: Use screen capture as new desktop background
4: Apply a small piece of tape over the optical mouse sensor
Now was the time to observe the freakout when I ask him to pull something up (it happened to be a statistical application that he has linked on his desktop).
First the mouse fails to work because the sensor is covered. He found that and thought I pulled a fast one.
Next he tries to click the icon on the desktop.... hmmmm clicking an image wont open a program. The bitch of the prank is that if he views his desktop through a folder, all of the icons are there and will work.
I wonder when I will clue him in on the background change!

Did you come up with that all by yourself?

I told someone I was going to do something, and he & his roommate spent the next 2 weeks freaking out, wondering if I had yet.

One of my favorites:
I wrapped a rubberband around the spray nozzle at the kitchen sink, so whoever used the tap would get no water from there but instead get shot by the nozzle. Being that it was just my mom and I, she took the hit. Her response was "William, you little !" and she laughed it off. Prolly more a good memory of my mom than a good prank.
One of the best pranks I've ever had played on me was due to a roommate in college. We had a small plastic spider that we would hide with the intention of trying to scare each other. He hid it once about 5 crackers deep in sleeve of Saltine crackers. There I go, eating crackers one by one and voila! spider staring at me. That was a zinger.

I asked someone to step close and look in my eye for something i said was stuck in it.
Then sneezed in their face.
Well worth the sneeze.

I don't remember where I read this, but this is the most ingenious prank ever:
Oil up 3 pigs and number them 1, 2, and 4. Then let them loose and laugh your ass off as security spends all day trying to find pig #3.
