Freeze a can of shaving cream...Not gel..just regular shaving cream....when It's frozen...cut the bottom off it.
put it in a co-workers desk...as it thaws..it'll expand and go all over the place!!or put it in their locker!

I once had a script for IE (can't find it anymore) to move the scrolling bar to the left hand side of the screen and another one to reverse the script as if your were looking at it from behind (I think it was called "mirror script"). Quite neat for the corporate intranet...

Air raid siren at 6.00am might do the trick.

printable version of this thread:
tape down the receiver button on your co-worker's phone
(then wait for a phone call and watch the confusion)i always like removing certain control panels or extensions from the system folder and then sit back in enjoyment as the person freaks out that their machine died.
works best when your target has a really tight demanding deadline and/or short tempered.On a mac, take a screen shot of co workers computer and hide all the desktop folder in one folder...then wait for them to start clicking on stuff...heh
I never tried this one, but supposedly you can pry up the keys on the keyboard, switch a few for people like me that type by sight...the "m" and "n" keys would be ideal... ;)
Reverse the mouse settings. Left is right up is down. Easily fixed.
Call my former employer and tell him I'm a Nike exec and that I want his company to do a 500 million dollar project hahaha. (Is that even legal?)
I've seen this one done before. you take some ones desk chair with wheels and you grind the bottom so it flat.... and when they go to roll the chair back it stops dead and they feel a nice little jolt.
freeze a can of shaving cream and then remove the "metal skin" on the can so you just have frozen crema and you toss it in someones desk or in a microwave the night before and in the morning it will thaw to a nice huge frothy mess.... *note you may cause mortal enemies doing this*
1) pour some tabasco sauce on a coworkers dark colored chair EARLY in the morning before they get in. An hour will do.
When the coworker sits down, within an hour their butt starts to get warm, then really warm, then on fire. Watch them run to the bathroom and try to splash water on it.
Buy a can of foamy shave cream. Put it in the freezer overnight. In the morning you'll see the foam has frozen and split the seam on the can. Bring the can into work and with a pair of pliers peal off the tin. Place the frozen foam in your coworkers desk. As the foam thaws it will expand and 'leak' out. Since it's foam it won't necessarily ruin anything.
Take cream filling out of Oreo cookies and fill with mint toothpaste, put cookies out on a tray and wait for co-workers to grab.
take four of those little packets of ketchup catsup,, whatever.
and bend them in half..
take a rasor blads and cut little notches on the bend.
tape them to the bottom of the toilet seat bent. so that when someone sits down it will cover their entire booty with the condiment.with a standard - "non commercial" style toilet.
open tank lid, remove hose from metal tube at top, place the hose end facing out towards user, replace tank lid carefully to hold tube facing out but not easily seen. When the next person flushes, water will shoot out at them rather than refilling toilet. Clean water, no real harm but a nice surprise.Empty salt ( or pepper) from a previously 'acquired' container and fill about 1/3 full with concentrated lemon juice.
Place a thin tissue across the opening, poke it down a bit to form a depression, and fill the depression with about a teaspoon of baking soda.
Cover (from the inside) the holes of the top with tape.
Replace top on container and trim visible tissue from around the top.
After discretely placing the shaker on your table (or near you), observe the next person to use the shaker. (S)He will shake lightly at first, then harder as nothing comes out. Due to the breakdown of the tissue and the pressure resulting from the classic acid/base reaction, the top will pop off (quite spectacularly) amidst a shower of foam.take a screenshot of the desktop, paste in photoshop, make it fullscreen and hide the panels. activate the brush-tool and select some funky color.
as the person wants to open a program on his "desktop" instead of double-klicking he'll just paint on his desktop. precious couple of seconds of confusion. and quite harmless to boot.I'm leaving my office on the 28th of March so here's what I'm going to do. Take a coworkers swivel chair, pull the seat off to expose the part where the seat meets the pneumatic cylinder.
Cram fresh shrimp into the base area and reassemble. Tape an "April fool's" note underneath if you so wish.
by the 1st, that puppy will be humming.Super Glue 50p too the pavement out side your office and see all the people try and pick it up.
Some just will not give up.
I must get that 50p I must get the 50pthis one only works on people that aren't too technically inclined (my office has an abundance). Just adjust their monitor's contrast and brightness so it looks like a black screen... I watched a girl go in and ask for a new monitor because hers was "broken" after doing this.... it ended up taking the network admin and another tech "intern" to figure out that someone had messed with her contrast/brightness on her monitor...
koolaid in the shower head it always fun if you live in a dorm.
if your friend has a nice, new car that he/she loves - make a nice, convincing sign that reads: "MUST SELL NOW, NO OFFER REFUSED..."
and put his/her phone number on it - put the sign on the car when they park it at work or in their driveway/parking lot.
call your manager and leave 10+ voice messages telling him you'll be out sick today. use a different excuse every time. or do the same one and change it up every time you call.
then show up for work.This one's good for yuppies who piss you off ; and it's easy too. . .
Just put a lil note on their Mercedes that says "Sorry about the dent."
They will spend the next half hour looking for the dent.Tomorrow a mail that has the big boss' name on it (he's in on it) will state that everybody with a companycar will have to bring it in on tuesday (No date.. :-) ) so they can have HUGE stickers with the company name, logo and catchphrase put on it.
I, of course, have provided a few visuals.... :-)
I'd love to see the confusion...clingfilm over the toilet - classic
strategically-placed bubble wrap...under the edges of the toilet seat, or underneath a rug.
fun noise

just found another coworker with a new car... going to put another note out.

this one is really bad and I think I posted this here last year, but you can take a #2 and leave it in the backside of the toilet and the next user will not know what is happeing but obviously smell it. LOL :)
