One of my mates in my office has left for the week and was just wondering what pranks I could play on him?

Last time he was away I left the "Scott Mills" flirt divert number on his message pad and told him he needed to phone this client back.

I have also super glued a pound coin to the floor by his desk.

I need some top quality pranks!

Stick a Anchovie to the under side of his desk with sticky tape.

Connect your keyboard into his pc so when he sits down type something into word like "We are watching you" etc.

Put some one elses stuff in his place and when he gets back say the boss thought he had left so he had been replaced.

If he is in a boxed off area do the TV prank where the put clingfilm across the door and then fill his area with foam balls etc. Will try and think of more for ya smileys/smiley2.gif

Hide the ball in his mouse and change it to a left hand mouse in the setting so the left click becomes the right button.

LOL how about these???

When two (ore more) people are working a desks that are put next to each other, switch their telephone cords. With all those cables lying around it will take some time before they find that one out!

Put a peice of onion or a clove of garlic inside the mouthpiece of a phone. Give it some time for it to fester and build up a strong odor. Then call them and keep them on the phone for as long as possible.

It is allways a good habit to lock your computer before heading off for coffee or a smoke. When someone forgets and leaves a Word document or an email open, type a single word somewhere in the text. “f*ck”ť or so will do nicely. They’ll never notice and send it out.

Get a hold of someone's cell phone and change the greeting banner to say "NO SERVICE". Many cell phones have greeting banners on them that you can personalize to say whatever you want them to and it stays on there when you're not using your phone. Also, when there is no service where you are, most cell phone companies have a banner that pops up on your screen saying "no service".

Take a can of non gel shaving cream, and put it in a freezer. When it is frozen remove the bottom of the can and put it in co worker's drawer. When it melts it expands and explodes all over everything.

Go into MS Word or similar program on co-worker's computer, and add an entry to the AutoCorrect feature. This is a very simple prank that will send the novice user into a frenzy. Configure the AutoCorrect option to replace the word "the" with the phrase "you suck!". They will usually panick and start scanning for viruses.

Take clear tape and tape the underside of the mouse. Make sure you take the sticky end of the tape and apply it to the bottom of the mouse so it locks the ball in place. The victim will most likely check the connections in the back, reinstall drivers, reboot, etc., before they realize what has happened.

Do a "Print Screen" of the user's desktop, and then paste the image from the clipboard to a photo program, and save the image as a bitmap. Then, set the 'snapshot' of their desktop as the actual desktop wallpaper. (You'll have to hide the Windows status bar, and move all their desktop icons into a folder, which you can hide conspicuously in the corner or something.) The user will see their desktop as always, but everything on it will appear to be frozen when they try to click on it...sending them into a rebooting and virus scanning fit!

This will mostly only work with people with very little PC knowledge. Stick in a floppy in there floppy drive. They will be unable to boot up windows until the disk is out. This is fun to watch.

Try to find a very obnoxious CD laying around. Preferably a reggae or rap CD. Pop it in their CD ROM. Put up the sound full blast by double clicking on the volume control on the bottom right. On normal configurations the audio CD will autoplay when windows first starts up. The person starting up there PC in the morning will definitely be embarrassed.

This is for that special person you just cant stand in the office, the one who talks on the phone all day with their boyfriend/girlfriend and gets personal e-mail all day. Go into their e-mail and change their defaults to autmatically "blind carbon copy" their boss or supervisor. Heads will roll!

Change the coffee in the office coffe maker to decafe. Wait about three weeks(or untill you think everybody has gotten over their caffine addiction)and switch to expresso!

Try "password securing" someone's screen saver. First I suggest changing the screen saver to "scrolling marque" and inserting your own word or phrase, "Mr. Jones (president or supervisor) eats SHlT" or something to that effect.

With someone who is on the phone a lot during work - This works if you have phones that the handset comes apart. Take the handset apart and put scotch tape over the mouthpeice inside. They can still be heard, b

To do this you virtually have to break their keyboard but if you take the caps lock button off and remove the actuall button then stick it back on. ENDLESS PAGES OF THIS THAT THEY CANT GET RID OF UNTIL THEY THINK ABUOT RESETING THEIR PC.

If they have a favourite Mug or glass for drink, just before they get their drink put a small amount of Tabasco sauce around the whole lip of the glasss, watch them keep licking the lips wondering whats up.
You can really tell who works in the office now cant you, lol.

If they have got a mobile phone where you can change the covers etc take the keys out and then ring them or send them a message. They will get well annoyed coz they cant read it coz you have the buttons in your pocket.

Get a spoon and pop the keys off of his keyboard, jumble them all up and put them back on the keyboard!
