1) Pick the co-worker with the messiest desk. 2) Everyday scotch tape an important item from their desk to under their desk. 3) See how many days you can go for.
Me and a coworker actually did this for months on end with the whole office. Some of them found out after a couple of hours, some after a couple of days and some after months. There was even a coworker who never found out what was going on with her computer. It was the funniest period at work. Listening how they loudly react and swear at it. Some even contacted IT department, reinstalled drivers, constantly rebooted their computers, even considered reinstalling windows.
When a coworker returns from lunch tell them they had a missed call from a "Mr Lyon" requesting an urgent call back. Give them a post-it note with the phone number for London Zoo.
Sorry everyone. For some reason the video was blocked for a few hours after we uploaded. If it wasn't for all of your dislikes we never would have known. You're the best! How about some likes to balance us out?
At our office, if someone leaves their desk without locking their laptop, we change their background and screensavers to David Hasselhoff's pictures. One of the developers have actually created a little batch file to do this automatically.
I heard a story about somebody who did this. First, he a few friends to help out. They of them cooked up a few batches of clear sugar glass. Then, overnight, they removed the windows from his office. They only removed the ones going into the rest of the floor, versus the ones leading outside. Then they took the sugar glass windows and installed them. The next day, the guy pretended to rage and grabbed a baseball bat that he kept in his office and smashed the windows. His friends came running from their cubicles, bent down, and began eating the sugar glass. The funniest part was when one of the horrified coworkers ran to get their boss and the boss(who was in on the prank) acted like it was perfectly normal to eat smashed glass from a window.
We incorporate theme days in our office-themes like: Inward Talk Day or Face Your Hips North All Day Long Day or Falsetto Meetings Day. Just keeping it real.
similar to using a screenshot of the desktop but deleting the icons, you can take a screenshot of the desktop, rotated 180 degrees, and then rotate the entire screen by the same amount so the screen shot looks like it's right side up. You also then hide the icons, so when they move the mouse around the mouse goes in the opposite direction from what they're trying to do.
I've done the screenshot trick to a boss back in the day. Take it one step further, create shortcut keys so when he asks for help, you can make it look like programs are opening for you just fine.
Jeremy Ginsberg Boss: why doesn't it work for me then? You: problem is between the screen and the chair. And that was your last day at work. Still, totally worth it.
Every time your computer plays the log in chime, offer your coworker a mint. Do this for months. Then suddenly stop giving them mints and see if they ask for one when they hear the log in chime.
The sad part of pavlogs dog experiment....they started to hit him occassionaly when the bell rang. My the time they neared 40/60 treat/hit...the dog actually went nuts. Try it ;)
It's because of people like you, that I obsessively lock my computer and take my phone with me, every time I get up from my desk. ;) Also, one time someone left their security pass lying around, and when they went to pick it up, they discovered I had replaced it with an elaborate series of clues in which to find it. As I recall, one of them required him to borrow someone else's pass to get into to a room to get it. :p
We used to do funny stuff at my last job all the time! One of my favorites was when we forged really touching and thoughtful cards from a grouchy employee and sent them to his coworkers and for an entire day, everyone would come up to him and thank him for his kind gesture! Hahaha they never knew but he sure did. And then another time we printed cat photos and taped them to the back or bottom of literally everything on aforementioned grumpy employees things. Mouse, monitor, notebook, stapler, pen jar, stack of papers, post its, etc. He found them randomly for months!
Pop the keys off the keyboard shuffle them around and put them back in new locations. Doing that you can leave simple messages for each other... Unplug the mouse, most people don't think to check that. If you can get away with it with no repercussions, it is always fun to super glue items to the desk...not recommended for oak or mahogany desks...
Awesome stuff. My favorite prank but it takes patience, is to find out a co-workers Ex High School boy/girl friend, bully, teacher, name, somebody from years ago that they don't know anyone else knows...then in a large group meeting have another co-worker interrupt the meeting and tell the person that (name of ex girlfriend) is here from the IRS & they said it was important, to see you in the lobby. Video tape their reaction... The random word in the meeting is great. Doing that next week.
ive actually done the one with the photos. our secretary at dr. pepper had all these pictures of her only child. i put myself in his place. everyone was amused but her. i got counseled. and once i arranged the clothes of a very religious coworker (while he was at the gym) in such a way that i could tell others he had been raptured.
Add 50-60 carriage returns to the end of your email sig. Delete "re:" from the subject of all emails before sending. Reply "unsubscribe" to meetings you can't attend.
If they have a traditional keyboard and are a hunt-and-peck typer, pop the M and N keys off and switch them. I did this to one of my coworkers, and his password apparently had an M in it. For five solid minutes he stared at his keyboard as he meticulously pounded his password in over and over. Eventually he got mad, threw the keyboard across the room (which was impressive, considering it was plugged in) and stormed out of the building. Or pop off the number pad keys 7-8-9 and 1-2-3 and swap them so the 1-2-3 are up top.
An ex- coworker, who I dearly miss, forwarded this video to me to cheer me up. Funny how some people can make unbearable situations tolerable. Thanks guy's. FWD, FWD, FWD...
We have random nerf gun battles at our office to keep it fun. As for pranks, affix children's stickers underneath every item and stack of papers on their desk. They will be finding those for years, and each one will be harder to remove.
I sing along to music of the heavy metal kind, and it somewhat amuses people around me, so there's that... Yeah, I got nothing. You guys, though, have some funny-ass videos; been watching you for a while now, always a good laugh!
I think if you're a Dvorak geek, you can try this. Set your coworker's keyboard to Dvorak, and when he's confused and asks for your help, type on his computer like you normally would and show that it works fine. I think this trick will baffle even IT support because of how hardly known Dvorak is (sadly).
I saw this somewhere...Add nickels (just a couple each day) into the handset of the person's telephone headset. Then, after they've gotten used to the weight, remove them all at...Wait, I saw that on The Office. Ok, place desktop items into Jello and then place it into the fridge to gel. Just before they come in, put the .....Shoot, another prank from The Office. If you have a really schizophrenic co-worker, send them faxes from the future. From themselves.... Your list is probably the best since The Office went away! Thanks!
We actually did some of these things at my previous job. My current company is too uptight to even attempt anything like this, however. It's like being in a hospice.
Add one nickel to a coworker's phone every day until they get used to the heavy weight, then take them all out and they'll hit themselves in the face with their phone.
I don't know about Mac, but in Windows you can hide all desktop icons using an option in the right click menu. It looked like you had to delete or move all those stuff from desktop to somewhere else on the Mac.
If your coworker stares at their keyboard and hen pecks each letter to type, pluck a few of the letters off using a pen and switch them around. Laughter for days!
I like to hide under my co-workers desks and scare them by grabbing their leg after I let them settle in and get comfortable. It's fun. I've yet to be kicked. I also like to put up scary clown pictures in the office of my friend that is terrified of clowns. I tell her it is therapy, but it is really just funny to me.
I used to remove the track ball from a coworkers mouse. Optical mouse ruined this for me. I would also unplug the handset from her phone but leave the cord tucked underneath so it looked plugged in. when she would go to answer the phone... I would put scotch tape around the top of her memo note cube so she could not peel off the note paper. I would lower the seat on her desk chair and hang the pictures in her office upside down.
Here is a funner work prank. Must be super cold outside(Midwest/Snowy) Offer to start a co-workers car for them when its super cold, like -10 out. When you start the car, crank the AC on max. It will be colder in the car then out side. They might give the cold shoulder for a while. :)
You can recalibrate your coworkers mouse so it will move the cursor down or sideways if he moves it up...takes ages to reset even if you know where to change it back!
Take apart a persons chair, insert a car etherair freshener (best is the pine smelling tree) and put the chair back together. Every time they sit down the get a wiff of the smell - it typically lasts for about a month.
Place your co-worker in a MacGyver panic...tape down your co-worker's phone receiver. When they answer their call it will keep ringing in their ear. Then they'll have to frantically pick the tape off or miss the call. Time is ticking!!!!
Try sticking an air freshener to the underside of somebody's desk. Each day add another. I recommend lavender and chamomile. Smells great after four or five days.
I have two unoticable mouse tricks: 1) cut an exact outline of the sensor in paper that matches the color of the mouse, stick it with some Removeable putty... but they can notice that there is no light, which leads me the evilest of evil... : 2)get some tape, unplug the mouse and stick it to JUST the two middle pins... the lights will be on but not the data! :D
I ask the receptionist where the building manager is when I know that she's gone to the bathroom... After the receptionist indicates her location is in fact the women's restroom. I make my way in the direction of the women's restroom and nonchalantly mention that I'm just going to pop my head in and ask her a quick question... Then I watch the expression of shear horror on her face as I reach for the door... Normally then I burst into laughter and go back to my desk.
Back when keyboard keys could be popped off, we rearranged the keys into alpha order on a coworker who was not a touch typist. He was pissed. One (way older) female boss had an annoying habit of sending a message that required a response, to her underling's monitor (old school IBM) when we went to break, so she would know when we got back. Another coworker filled in "I love you Donna" as the response, unbeknownst to the owner of the monitor. We had to write our names on a list at the secretary's desk when we left for break or lunch, so that she would know when she answered the phone, who was out. We made up an employee name and always put down that fictitious name every time we left and marked him as "in" when we returned. She would ask "who is Dan?" and we would always describe him and say he just went around the corner, you just missed him. Programmers can be creative when we are bored.
Get a typical bottle of hand sanitizer, like the pump kind that you can see the stuff in the bottle. Now, pour it out. Refill it with "personal lube", set it on your desk and wait. The reaction when they've been running their hands together and it doesn't start to dissolve is too funny to describe.
So sorry it took us a bit to fix. There was a glitch beyond our understanding. For a second there we thought we would have to re upload. Fortunately it works now.
We have a baby doll that we hide in random spots around work. It'll be gone for months then you'll look at a random place and see it's eyes staring at you, pretty fun.
On an unlocked computer, go into the mouse settings and reverse the left and right button, also change the double click speed to be super slow or super fast
Wait until that one obnoxious coworker leaves for the day and wrap everything in and on their desk in aluminum foil. Chair and trash can, and banana included. Redecorate someone's cube with pictures of their least favorite celebrity. Justin Beiber worked well in this case.
4 years ago we did the Justin Bieber prank to my sister. She just left for college so I got to get some of her furniture and underneath 1 of the computer chairs and behind a poster we found two Justin Bieber stickers XD
Add an autocorrect rule in their text editor that changes their name to something stupid. A colleague once sent out a letter that said its name is "Dr. Madness"...
You could hide a bugged wooden mallard in a coworker's office to spy on all of his secrets. He'll discover it, but the joke's on him: the real spy device is a cleverly planted pen hidden with all of his other pens.
In our office to exterminate fun we have people who patrol the laptops in the office. If you leave it unlocked, you get a "ticket" and a fine (deduction from your salary) for not maintaining a secure environment after one warning. We don't have assigned offices or cubicles so there is no one to switch spaces with as it is cheaper not to have assigned spaces.
when a coworker is out of the office for a week or more clear there desk of everything and remove their nameplate from the door or cube or draw a chalk outline of body next to their desk and leave a few randomly numbered evidence tents laying around, add some shell casings for extra shock value
If a coworker leaves their computer unlocked and you have access to an old enough computer. email a copy of whatever they are currently working on to yourself.(hopefully almost done with, but still a few days before presenting if you wanna be nice) put the file onto a floppy disk with the original title written on it. DELETE the original file from their computer. Leave the floppy disk on their desk. If they cant fix this soon enough, just email them the file that is still on your computer. Prank responsibly.
Replace the lights in cubicles/offices with black lights. Paint phosphorescent eyeballs on the family photos' glass or messages on surfaces - just don't go too far. Threats aren't cool. #darkhumor #workisscaryfun Yes, we are workplace coaches who professionally develop others. For realsies. @A2LAMPS
im trying, but its never fun i am a front office agent and i hate the fact that i am , i wish i could just like this work just a little ....because the more im hating it the more im making mistakes at accomplishing it too
While your co-worker is on vacation, sprinkle some grass seed on their keyboard (external, not laptop), and keep them watered daily with a spray bottle.
1) Pick the co-worker with the messiest desk.
2) Everyday scotch tape an important item from their desk to under their desk.
3) See how many days you can go for.
Add a second wireless mouse to a computer nearby and randomly move & click when the person is typing.
haha an i.t. persons nightmare aka me
i did that to my brother xD
Me and a coworker actually did this for months on end with the whole office.
Some of them found out after a couple of hours, some after a couple of days and some after months.

Hey bros
...ok I'll like it :-D...BUT DONT SPEND IT ALL IT ONE PLACE HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA.

So, reupload it!
I disliked it to be sure the new likes did not overshadow the legitimate dislikes that you may have incurred, if any. Accuracy means everything.
At our office, if someone leaves their desk without locking their laptop, we change their background and screensavers to David Hasselhoff's pictures. One of the developers have actually created a little batch file to do this automatically.
I need this batch file
Everyone needs this batch file
Borat in the super speedo
I set everyones desktop to My Little Pony lol!!
Developers you say? *Is secretly hoping you mean game developer for some reason*

SO DAMN GOOD!
whats more is make the start menue be up, so that when the screen is rotated it goes back down! or hide it! MWAHAHAHAHA

T1NBANE Ah, conditioning, I like it ;)
I saw this on The Office with Jim and Dwight! Classical conditioning at its subtlest (most subtle?).
The sad part of pavlogs dog experiment....they started to hit him occassionaly when the bell rang. My the time they neared 40/60 treat/hit...the dog actually went nuts. Try it ;)
Can you come up with something original instead of posting every prank from The Office?
@@exmember1607 every time Ex Member mentions his position, remind him that he's the Ex TO THE Regional Member.
Putting your head on their kid in the pic - awesome!
It's because of people like you, that I obsessively lock my computer and take my phone with me, every time I get up from my desk. ;)

As much as I love working for myself, THIS!!!! I wish I had watched this when I had an office job!!!
Swap the N and M keys on the keyboard. Subtle enough not to notice, but works a treat!
Give your coworker a glass of water but instead of ice, fill it with shards of glass. It's hilarious they'll die laughing.
Amazing
Replacing their blue Gatorade with Windex is also a killer.
Gotcha there - I'm already drinking alcohol!
The best way to make work funner!
Flip your coworkers desktop dislpay upside down (Alt + Ctrl + down arrow key). Works every time.
That one is very popular at my work! :p
Eek! I didn't know you could even do that!
That is only funny if you are not TECH SUPPORT, and they say "control what?" I don't have a key that says contorl lol...
rcdinkins See Tee Are El!
That is BOSS!! Thank you for that gem!
Pop the keys off the keyboard shuffle them around and put them back in new locations. Doing that you can leave simple messages for each other...

Put all of their desk supplies in the vending machine.

Place clear tape on the bottom of the mouse so it doesn't move...my favorite 😊
If my mouse doesn't work for any reason, the first thing I do is turn it over and look.
When ur co worker steps out to the toilet have everyone in the office leave and hide somewhere.
Use autocorrect so that anytime a coworker types his/her name, it gets replaced with "diapers"
Office ftw!
The Office?
Had a fun day on my first day at my medical job. Looking forward to a great time with all my co workers.
If they have a traditional keyboard and are a hunt-and-peck typer, pop the M and N keys off and switch them. I did this to one of my coworkers, and his password apparently had an M in it.

As a shepherd I can personally attest to using email.
*Owen Video did you email your Staff? 😂😂
I don’t get it.
How I make work funnier. I just go , work and leave.
I always changed the mouse scroll speed to the slowest settings and switch the button functions to reversed if anyone leaves their computer open.
We actually did some of these things at my previous job. My current company is too uptight to even attempt anything like this, however. It's like being in a hospice.
My condolences.
Hey, hospice people have fun! I’ve been one! Lol
Replace all of their pens with crayons
Add one nickel to a coworker's phone every day until they get used to the heavy weight, then take them all out and they'll hit themselves in the face with their phone.
Thanks Jim
Nice to see you guys
And people used to wonder why I'd ALWAYS lock my keyboard when I'd step away from my desk, even for a few minutes!
This is an awesome way to enjoy work.
I don't know about Mac, but in Windows you can hide all desktop icons using an option in the right click menu. It looked like you had to delete or move all those stuff from desktop to somewhere else on the Mac.

Copy a coworker's entire wardrobe and come to work dressed as them
I've done that one before. I actually packed a secret wardrobe at work so that I could match whenever he wore something matching what I had
I used to remove the track ball from a coworkers mouse. Optical mouse ruined this for me. I would also unplug the handset from her phone but leave the cord tucked underneath so it looked plugged in. when she would go to answer the phone...

If anyone ever hides my copy of "Stuff you should know about stuff" I will do a John Cena on them
I make work funner by working from home as much as possible
Hide a coworker's cell phone in the ceiling tiles, then call the phone repeatedly.
Someone did this to me. Lol! I was yelling at them and laughing at the same time!
Take apart a persons chair, insert a car etherair freshener (best is the pine smelling tree) and put the chair back together. Every time they sit down the get a wiff of the smell - it typically lasts for about a month.
This made me laugh! :)
Place your co-worker in a MacGyver panic...tape down your co-worker's phone receiver. When they answer their call it will keep ringing in their ear. Then they'll have to frantically pick the tape off or miss the call. Time is ticking!!!!

Try sticking an air freshener to the underside of somebody's desk. Each day add another. I recommend lavender and chamomile. Smells great after four or five days.
Add shutdown command in browser shortcut
I have two unoticable mouse tricks:

T1NBANE as your comments go down they get more and more unrealistic 😂
That's just evil!
good idea with that timer
I CANNOT BREATHHHHHHHH I AM LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These sound like they would be pretty fun to pull off.
Anytime you talk to a coworker, stare at their forehead instead of their eyes.
take the springs out of all the pens a coworker has.
If they have different colored pens, swap around the cartridges.
Back when keyboard keys could be popped off, we rearranged the keys into alpha order on a coworker who was not a touch typist. He was pissed.

take sticky note put it under a computer mouse cut the edges off so they can't see the sticky note and the mouse won't work
I work at Kroger and I hate it but I also hate being broke I really need this video.
I once mailed a marriage invitation from my colleague's email. Poor fella never left desk for a smoke again.
put a sticky note over the senser on the bottom of their wireless mouse
The way I make work funner is I upload a video and I instantly make them available to the subscribers :)
So sorry it took us a bit to fix. There was a glitch beyond our understanding. For a second there we thought we would have to re upload. Fortunately it works now.
We have a baby doll that we hide in random spots around work. It'll be gone for months then you'll look at a random place and see it's eyes staring at you, pretty fun.

Convince a coworker that it's Friday when it's only Thursday.
OK.. We get it
On an unlocked computer, go into the mouse settings and reverse the left and right button, also change the double click speed to be super slow or super fast
Pay all of your coworkers to call a specific coworker by a different name all day.
Wait until that one obnoxious coworker leaves for the day and wrap everything in and on their desk in aluminum foil. Chair and trash can, and banana included.
Redecorate someone's cube with pictures of their least favorite celebrity. Justin Beiber worked well in this case.
4 years ago we did the Justin Bieber prank to my sister. She just left for college so I got to get some of her furniture and underneath 1 of the computer chairs and behind a poster we found two Justin Bieber stickers XD
Fill all of their drawers with meatballs
Add an autocorrect rule in their text editor that changes their name to something stupid. A colleague once sent out a letter that said its name is "Dr. Madness"...
You could hide a bugged wooden mallard in a coworker's office to spy on all of his secrets. He'll discover it, but the joke's on him: the real spy device is a cleverly planted pen hidden with all of his other pens.
I like placing a penny on the boss's desk every morning in the exact same spot...
In our office to exterminate fun we have people who patrol the laptops in the office. If you leave it unlocked, you get a "ticket" and a fine (deduction from your salary) for not maintaining a secure environment after one warning. We don't have assigned offices or cubicles so there is no one to switch spaces with as it is cheaper not to have assigned spaces.
wow.. must be fun there.. good luck!
***** No, not much fun. They are loyal to employees to a degree as it is a family owned company.
when a coworker is out of the office for a week or more clear there desk of everything and remove their nameplate from the door or cube or draw a chalk outline of body next to their desk and leave a few randomly numbered evidence tents laying around, add some shell casings for extra shock value
If a coworker leaves their computer unlocked and you have access to an old enough computer. email a copy of whatever they are currently working on to yourself.(hopefully almost done with, but still a few days before presenting if you wanna be nice) put the file onto a floppy disk with the original title written on it. DELETE the original file from their computer. Leave the floppy disk on their desk.
If they cant fix this soon enough, just email them the file that is still on your computer. Prank responsibly.
I work in an office and we have a fake armadillo we hide around the office:P
Replace the lights in cubicles/offices with black lights. Paint phosphorescent eyeballs on the family photos' glass or messages on surfaces - just don't go too far. Threats aren't cool. #darkhumor #workisscaryfun Yes, we are workplace coaches who professionally develop others. For realsies. @A2LAMPS
It’s even funnier if you sent an invitation to the company CEO to a fake meeting using your annoying co-workers PC.
I actually did move my coworkers car one time when I borrowed his keys because I “left my fob at home.”
dump the water from the janitor's mop bucket and fill it with baby oil

While your co-worker is on vacation, sprinkle some grass seed on their keyboard (external, not laptop), and keep them watered daily with a spray bottle.
