Love your co-workers today!!
10 priceless activities for spicing up a boring work week
The following are things that I may or may not have accomplished during past boring workweeks. On some levels these may be considered wrong: However at times, they are PRICELESS!
Warning: Some of the following may be offensive to many of you: Continue at your own risk. The penmaster assumes no liability for propulsion vomiting, sudden and unexplained night sweats and spasms, onset of intermittent terrets syndrome, and / or any other physical or mental ailment that one may potentially experience as a result of the following non and non-non-fictional work of literature. And hey………..ENJOY!
1. Saran wrapping a co-workers desk and all items on (and in) said desk during their last two weeks on the job.
2. Placing an, “I’m gay and proud,” bumper sticker on the biggest and meanest looking four-wheel drive truck parked in your offices parking garage.
3. Re-doing a fellow co-workers name plate to read, “I. P. Frequently.”
4. Taking a co-workers stapler and putting it in a jello-mold one night, and returning it in a jello-based dessert the next morning.
5. Ordering fifty pizzas in your favorite co-worker’s name during a presentation he or she is giving for multiple members of senior management.
6. Xeroxing a picture of your bunns then scanning and inserting it into a powerpoint presentation one of your closest and most admired co-workers will be giving.
7. Rearranging nightly, the pens and other desktop items of your favorite Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) co-worker.
8. Placing scotch tape over the mouth-piece of the co-worker’s phone that is in the office next to yours.
9. Splicing one end of a skinny conduit / plastic pipe onto the vent of the men’s restroom exhaust system and running the other end through the ceiling and into one of your favorite co-workers offices.
Side Note: Number nine is typically labor intensive, and is generally best accomplished overnight.
10. Purchasing a remote control fart machine and tactically placing the speaker-end of the device in a concealed area of one of your favorite co-workers offices / cubicles.
Parting shot: Take the time to tell the skinny legged co-worker in your office how much you love them, even if they do have skinny legs: then complete any of the top ten Priceless scenarios presented above.
-Have a great Saturday………..or not.

BEST office prank my friend pulled: take a snapshot of your boss’s desktop (there’s a way to do this, but I forgot how) and paste it on top of the actual desktop so that you can’t see the edges. Then watch the boss’s increasing frustration as she tries to click on the icons of the "desktop" and nothing happens!!

Change the default sound on the computer from the familiar ‘donk’ to a high pitch blood curdling scream. Ps. not responsible from burns related to coffee spills or ruined keyboards (or dry cleaning bills)

LMAO Those are too good! We pull pranks on each other at my work, too, but none quite that great. Kind of hard to do some of those in a pharmacy, Though that desktop one might actually be pull-offable.

Dont forget..
Grease or Lotion on the bottom of Door Knobs.
Or super glue a quarter to the office floor and watch how many people REALLY try and pick it up.

Gotta love the pranks at work. I mean, if it wasn’t for all the energy put into the planning and initiating of these creative manipulations…what else would there be to do???
Seriously, number 9??

This won’t work unless you have access to your co-worker’s vehicle, but…
When I was in school, my one friend would constantly sabotage my car. He’d sneak in and turn the wipers on, the turn signal, turn the radio to full blast, the heater on full blast so that when I turned the ignition… BOOM! I’d be assaulted by all of that unexpectedly.
Nice.
I worked as a proofreader in an office years ago. My one co-worker took masking tape and wrapped my gloves together. You’d think that wouldn’t be such an annoyng prank, but try removing your gloves from within an entire roll of masking tape that’s been bound around and around and around and around your gloves. Not an easy task.
(But still not as cool as the jello mold.)

March 5, 2008 at 5:42 pm

RMHM!

Put an "Out of Order" sign on all of the men’s rooms for one day. Repeat a week later for the women’s rooms. (And I am definitely trying the Jell-o staple thing.)
