Simple Email Prank - Do it

[Agamemnon]

Wow... this sounds like it could backfire badly, I'll give 'er a go.

Probably a funnier prank then the one I got off here a few years ago... print off a sheet at the public printer saying "Do Not Discard This Sheet", and see how long it hangs out in the print room. I love the irony... it exists only to preserve itself!

Speaking of office pranks, last summer I was working as a summer student at an office downtown. There was this guy who rode his bike to work everyday, so he left his dress pants and slacks in his office to change into once he got to work. One of my female coworkers thought it would be funny to mess with his mind, so every friday she would take his pants home with her for the weekend and hem them a half inch shorter. A few weeks later and he had no clue what was going on. He kept commenting on how he must be getting taller because he gets these pants dry cleaned, so they can't be shrinking. We let this guy walk around with flood pants for a week or two before we finally let him in on the joke. Took a lot of time on my female coworkers part, but it was well worth it.

That female coworker should have been fired or at the bare minimum repremanded. She stole a fellow coworkers person items, took it home with her with her only reasoning being malice against a coworker?

If that guy ever wanted to quit and get one helluva severence package or libel suit, that would have been the time.

I just got a co-worker with this one. Took an escort's name and phone # out of the paper, wrote it down on a pink message slip and put it in his pigeon hole while he was out on lunch. He called her right away when he got in. It was pretty awkward for him.

You sound fun to work with.

Also his story doesn't really ad up. This co-worker wore the same pair of pants everyday and somehow took them to and from the dry cleaners on his bike during the week?

They probably didn't pull the prank on the Head of the Humorless and Angry Department, so I don't think that's a big worry.

It sounds like a pretty funny prank and if someone pulled it on me I wouldn't go crying to either the boss or my lawyer about my floods.

I would be very interested to know on what grounds he could sue for libel.

Maybe she was angry at him because he had one less rib than she did?

Methinks you need to look up the definition for malice.

Wow, aren't you a bit of a hard ass...

Its a prank, I thought it was pretty funny.

Sounds like someone's been a victim of a office prank that he didn't find so funny.

[ken0042]

Yeah, my definition of a good prank is one where there is no permanant harm done.

Leaving the escort's phone number on his work message slot- funny. Having a female co-worker write it down and put it into his jacket pocket so his wife would find it- not funny.

Most of our pranks are IT related. Disconnect his floppy drive, install another floppy inside the case of his computer. Watch him squirm as he tried to figure out why he is getting inaccessable boot device.

Or once we put another hard drive into the guy's PC and had it boot into Windows 3.11. Just so you know, Windows 3.11 takes about 3 seconds to start up on a Pentium 4 computer.

God damn, you would be fun to pull a prank on.

Sorry if it wasn't clear but he had several pairs of of pants and slacks that he left in his office. She honest to god took about 4 or 5 pairs of pants home with her every friday, and hemmed them all. Took a lot of time on her behalf to pull this prank off.

And no permanent damage was done, I don't know how sewing works but she was just rolling the pants up rather than cutting them. Once she told him about the prank she had all the pants fixed and returned to their normal length.

I have some pictures that we took of this guy with his pants at the height of their rise. I'll try to find and scan them and post them later.

Take a screenshot of their desktop. Make it their wallpaper. Move all their desktop icons to a folder somewhere. Move the taskbar somewhere else and then hide it. Watch the hilarity!

Haha! To make your comment even funnier the boss was in on the whole thing! And I'd hardly call it "stealing". Just "borrowing". I can assure you everybody was friends in this office and we weren't by any means out to get this guy. He took it in stride and thought it was hilarious.

Haha, that's a great idea! I'm laughing just thinking of the results.

[freakinsaprikin]

This thread is hilarious, I'm pissing my pants reading it.

Or make a folder with a really embarrassing name. Take a screen shot. Make that picture the background, then delete the embarrassing folder. They will try and click on it to delete it but they won't be able to. Hilarity ensues.

I've done this one with the added touch of a small post-it note taped to the bottom of his optical mouse.

If its at work you can also cut out a small piece of paper and wrap it around the end of the network cable then plug it back in the wall. Everything will look normal but everytime he tries to access something on the network it will sit there forever before timing out. Someone that doesn't know much about computers will wonder why his computer is so slow all of a sudden.
