What has everyone got for good workplace pranks?
One that's quick and easy is mess with people's MS Word auto complete settings.
A while back a guy, Dave who was messing around at work with a girl (he thought in secret), I changed it so when he typed his name Word would fill in:
"Dave was caught screwing Donna from behind and is going to be fired any day now."
I thought he was going to have a stroke!
Every time he erased it and tried his name, it would fill it in again.
Even better, replace the word "the" or "and" with curse words. They'll never get anything done.

AHAHAHA "and is going to get fired any day now"
That was almost funnier than the kelly song, "Let me barrow that top"

take a screenshot of someone's desktop, place it as the desktop image, and put all the actual folders and icons away so everything seems inaccessible and locked up. it'll drive people crazy until they figure it out

switch the keys "n" with letter "m"

I once bet an IT guy $5 that if he put an "out of order" sign on this really niave girl's mouse pad she wouldn't use it.
Needless to say I won, when we poppped by 5 mins later she had the pad off to the side and was trying to use her optical mouse on her glass desk (bonus laugh).

put a small piece of tape on the connection from the phone to the handset. That way the phone will ring, but the handset will be dead. Drives people nuts.

i was at lunch
now that i'm back
*takes gigantic deap breath... accidentally fartsyeah... an accident...
anyways.
take a screenshot of a persons desktop while they're in the can.
set that screenshot as their background then hide all the folders and icons.
then watch as they try to click on shit.
also. freeze a can of foam shaving cream and bring it in the next morning. when the foam freezes it expands and cracks the seal of the can. leave it in his desk drawer. as it thaws the foam expands and covers all their shit. and, since it's foam it's an easy, not ruining clean up.
the i.t. guy here pranked one of the interns when i first started. they were carrying computer cases from the 4th floor to the second. the elevators here are notoriously slow. so the i.t. dude took an empty shell of a computer case and filled it with books for weight and styrofoam packing beads. while they were waiting for the elevator he was like 'fuck this, comon we're going down the stairs.' the intern went first carrying the fake computer. halfway down i guess the i.t. guy yelled 'WATCH OUT' which scared the intern and he dropped the case shitting his pants (not for real but...). anyways, when the case hit the styrofoam exploded everywhere. haha.

if you work close to someone else's desk, plug in your wireless mouse to their computer and let the games begin!

...and when the boss is coming, surf to gay porn on their machine. And if you hate sitting next to them, it's a great time to ask to be moved.

Another version of the desktop switch.
Take a screen cap and then flip the image and set it as there in photoshop. Hide all tools and fill screen.
The monitor will look like it's upside down.
