Office pranks

Lamps

Was going to pu this in work/jobs but its a bit serious over there and more suited to after hours I think

The lad that always plays all the jokes in the office is of for a few days and i want to get him back. So far i've changed a few keys around on his keyboard, changed a load of words in the autocorrect (eg when he types "Sir" it will be corrected to "Homie" etc), glued a cup of water to his desk (disconnected the wire between his phone and the reciever, so he'll just pick the reciever up and it won't be connected to the phone)

Anymore ideas? Its his birthday to which means were going overboard

Its quiet as everyones on holidays and the boss is away, sure it would be rude not to have a bit of a mess, once we don't burn the place down!

Take a screenshot of his desktop.


Delete all the icons on his desktop.


Set the screenshot as his background.


Laugh as he hysterically clicks on icons that do not open. Works every time.

Don't forget to move his Start bar, set it to auto hide and make it as small as possible. And then there's the usual changing his homepage to www.bodybounce.com, change all his bookmarks to random porn sites, remove all his tool bars from all applications. The list goes on.

change his mouse settings so the right mouse button is primary, also make the speed the highest possible so you have to double click faster than superman to open anything.

This guy must be a serious pain in the ass. Some properly devious ideas in here though:D

If the graphics driver on his PC supports it, great fun can be had rotating the windows desktop, see here:

Nearly forgot, change the default language to something obscure

I'd hate to be working in your office

Search cracked screen on google images. Then use windows photo viewer and put it on fullscreen then uplug the keyboard and mouse.

Oriel

Replace this PC desktop wallpaper with a screenshot of his desktop.
Failing that, get his girlfriend pregnant. That'll piss him off.

I tried this one and it worked very well - put a small bit of cellotape at the end of his network cable so its unnoticeable but the cable won't work and he'll have no idea why, very effective.

Not being a killjoy but if I was your boss and you did that and used superglue on a desk, I'd have you fired.

Yes you're right, you're not being a killjoy at all....

Print Screen or Prnt Scrn and then paste the image into paint or other picture program, then save it somewhere

He leaves his computer on when he's away?.

After Hours is described in the forum list as "All things non-work related" so why is this thread here

MarkR

Change the target of shortcuts to launch music. Loud. Like in that booze ad.

And they called it puuuuppy looooooove

Change his desktop wallpaper to the a village people homage. Or a man wearing leather. You get the picture.

Well, what he is doing can hardly be considered work. Unless he is Willie E. Coyote or something.

if he's got an old fashioned ball mouse then take the ball out. You'd be surprised how many people fall for that one.

Empty the contents of the paper punch into some of his files. With luck that'll be the prank that keeps on giving...

for the hole punch contents, i prefer it when you put it in his umbrella. can be very effective

use lipstick to colour in the earpiece of his phone. After a call he'll be walking around with a coloured ear for the rest of the day (red works particularly well).

Another one that works well is for everybody in the office to focus on (say) his left ear while talking to him for a day. Everybody has to agree on the focal point, it won't work if some people choose his left ear and other choose the right or whatever. He's be driven mental trying to get into people's line of sight but won't say anything for ages for fear of giving offence.

That one worked brilliantly on our biology teacher in school

Ishmael

Stickykeys is another good one if he tends to type a lot.

Just press shift 5 times in a row to bring it up.

Small penis alert exe file works so much better here. (Have actually done this to someone, resulted in much "You bas**rd!!!")

NNIIICEEE! Have to try that on someone sometime....

If you feel a fart coming along pick up your phone and dial his extension number.

I'll leave it to you to figure out how to finish that one.

layke

Bundle his phone cord up with a paperclip so when he answers he'll pick up the whole phone. It's small, but annoying if you do it a few times.

Get evrything off us desk and put in in his chair. I mean computer monitor phone everything. The get a roll of cling film and wrap it around all his stuff. Takes ages not only to free the stuff put to put it all back too. Also you can clingfilm is drawers shut.

Mr_Roger_Bongos

Do ALL of the above. Then do This!

As an expansion of the sound idea above, go into his windows sounds page in the control panel. You've got the obvious sounds, like the windows logon sound, change that. But also change the really obscure error noises that might only come up once every month/two months = Extended prank life!

this one might take a bit of time, but you could get the whole office, and maybe floor, with it. Go into the canteen and switch all the coffee with decaf coffee, then after about 2 weeks, switch the decaf coffee with instant expresso and watch the madness begin.

Some googd ones there, the lipstick on phone reciever has been done!

Cant gain access to his computer though its password protected.

Hes not an asshole hes one of the funnist guys in the office and a good mate but he's the one that always does all the jokes on everyone else and first day pranks etc, so i decided its payback time!

Has he done any pranks to the IT supports guys. They should have an admin password for his computer and might join in with you.

RE*AC*TOR

You can't gain access to his computer? How did you change things on the autocorrect then?

If you really want to gain access to his computer, there are ways and means. Windows passwords aren't particularly secure, at least not when you have physical access to the computer.

Still I think the tinfoil or clingfilm ideas are among the best.

Dont forget to hide the taskbar at the bottom. Right Click it untick the Lock The Taskbar option. The size it so its hidden at the bottom of the screen.

I'd leave that until another day. You want it to appear that nothing is wrong
