Boss and entire dep't absent... what to do?

[thegiraffe]

You guys are horrible and should all be ashamed of yourselves!!!


















saran wrap on the toilets under the seats works pretty well, but it makes a mess...

Also, if the chairs have wheels, take all of the wheels off. Nothing will look off immediately until someone tries to pull the chair out, and it'll likely go kaboom.

A couple well-placed boobie traps would be hilarious too....got someone terrified of spiders? Have a spider drop from the ceiling on a string in their office. Choose their fears...

Some clear contact paper sticky-side up on the chairs would also be really funny. Everyone would be peeling the stuff off their butts haha.

That would also work on a keyboard.

I like the switching the monitors but keeping them in the same place idea...that's bound to result in much hilarity.

Teletubbies. In compromising positions. EVERYWHERE.

Replace everyone's mouse with those dumb trackball things (I HATE those!)


I'm normally pretty good at thinking of evil things to do, but I'm out....

Instead of hiding the coffepot (which would probably incite a riot and cause bodily harm) switch the coffee in the pot to decaf.

And keep using decaf until everybody in the office has kicked their caffeine addictions. Then switch to espresso.

Change the names of the conference rooms, if any. Something like the "Lyle Menendez Room" or the "Edward Gein Room" would be funny.

Am I the only one that thinks that these 'harmless' pranks are a bad idea? Why not use the time and opportunity to further your career and/or standing in the company? Take the initiative to do something that has been put off.

It's fun to do things that are thought to be harmless, but rarely are you going to find everyone in agreement as to what is harmless. Why not do something that raises you above the type of mentality and behavior that people come in here to vent about?

I think you might have taken this a tad bit too seriously. In all likelihood, Saydrah did something good for the company and productive with her time, but the prospect of such naughtiness is something fun to consider and scheme about, even if one never puts the ideas into practice.

That being said, I have my own idea. Tiger Balm on the toilet seats. It's terrible, awful, likely to get you sent to hell, but damn... It's worth it.

Yes, in fact, I used the day to conduct an interview in peace and do some marketing work, so my boss was greeted by a(nother) shiny new article to edit and return to me when he came in the next morning- and I did not play any pranks, except for stealing the advertising department's graph of 'what users do on the internet,' correcting it to show the HONEST answers (Porn: 100% LOLcats: 83%) and hanging it in my own cubicle, which created much hilarity.

However, these are all fun ideas, and could almost all be easily carried out during a lunch break, leaving all my company time for real work.

Tiger Balm is kidna like IcyHot, right? That'd be hilarious! A numb-butt (say it out loud...it sounds funny lol)

And keep using decaf until everybody in the office has kicked their caffeine addictions. Then switch to espresso.

It would be even better long term, do the switch to decaf over a week or two by mixing regular a decaf and increasing the amount of decaf each day until it's 100% decaf. People would probably notice right away if the coffee was switched directly to decaf. After a few days of 100% decaf, switch to espresso.

Cressing an old keyboard is always fun -http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Cress_keyboard-3_sprouting_other_side.jpg

And for the computer illiterate people in your office, just search for *.exe on their computers, copy and paste the list to their startup folders

Dunno if this is even possible, but see if you can either make or get hold of a fake virus disc and put it in the system.

Note: I am speaking from experience; at the college I went to, all the computers were on a network. Some clever d**k made a programme that appeared to imitate a virus programme (constantly scrolling of one sentence) and stuck the disc in one of the main computers. Everyone went batsh*t crazy and ran around like headless chickens disconnecting the computers til it occurred to someone to check the computers for discs. Resulting in a lot of red faces and a crazed desire for vengence on the perpetrator... who, unsurprisingly, was never found and remains a mystery to this day. XD I will state that this was not a real virus; as soon as the disc was removed, the computers were fine. They were all affected by the disc cuz they were network computers; and probably a bit more craptastic than today's computers.
