Anyone know any good practical jokes to play at work?

Question

They can't be mean, but they should be creative.

Answer 1

Although I don't advocate practical jokes at work because of the chance of getting in trouble and loosing your job I will tell you a couple but perhaps you could do them somewhere else. If you leave someone a phone message for them to return have it come from Mr. Lyon or Mr. G. Raff. Make sure you get the number for the local zoo in your neighborhood and give them that number to call. Obviously they are asking for Mr. Lion or Mr. Giraffe. Hope that helps!

Answer 2

If you know someone that uses a phone with a hook that presses down when the handset is in the craddle, then tape that part down. When the person tries to answer a call it will just keep on ringing and ringing.
Be carefull with this one, as to not ruin the keyboard. All you have to do is simply and very carefully remove a few keys and switch them around. If your victim is one of those "look up and down" typers. He or she will be very confused while trying to get work done.
Before your co-worker arrives at the office remove his desk drawers and switch them around. He will definitely scratch his head over this one. Hint: In case you cannot remove the drawers, just remove the items and swap them
At the next pot luck luncheon. You bring the Chex Party Mix. But get creative, mix in some Pup-eroni dog food snack. Just break them into little pieces and throw them in the same bowl...stir it up and nobody will tell the difference

1-put a small piece of scotch tape over the ear piece part of the telephone.
2-Purchase an open both ends glass candle flute,fill it with marbles. Just wait, someone will pick it up.
3-cake decorate a round piece of Styrofoam, leave a knife close by.
4-wet your hand, and walk up behind someone and fake a sneeze, at the same time flick four wet fingers in their direction.
5-Superglue a quarter to the floor, you will easily get 25 cents worth of entertainment.
6-get a large box of Styrofoam packing peanuts, cut the bottom out of the box. You may have to have a large piece of removable cardboard on the bottom of the box, which you can slide out after placing the box on someones desk.
7-Get a squeeze top bottle that is opaque. If necessary drill a hole down through the valve. Get about 6-8 inches of string, thread through the top, tie a small not to each end of the string. Put the cap on with all the string inside the bottle. Walk up to someone, drawing attention to the bottle and squeeze the bottle.
8-buy some costume jewelry, take out the fake diamonds, go into a jewelry store and casually let them out onto the carpet. Then say, very loud so management can hear.."Whats that?"

Answer 4

Mess with somebody's spellcheck in their word processor. You can set their auto-correct settings so that every time they type the word "the" it replaces it with "Bring cookies to the office" (or whatever message you so desire - personally, I'm a big fan of cookies). This is totally harmless, but is a nice zinger.

A slightly meaner (but not too mean) prank is to recallibrate their mouse so that when they move it up, it goes down, and same with left to right. Doesn't take too long for them to figure out what's going on, but is frustrating in the interim.

One more that won't work on everybody, but at one office I worked at, one of my co-workers wore tennis shoes to work and then changed into nicer shoes. We managed to line the bottom of his tennis shoes with bubble wrap without him noticing. When he put his shoes back on, he had a loud/startling (but not painful) surprise.

Answer 5

It depends on where you work. I'm a manager at an italian restaurant... and the servers always put a lemon wedge on another severs shoulder and let them walk around and serve customers while its on there

Answer 6

If you can play jokes at work make sure that no one gets their feelings hurt and or feels ridiculed. My favorite is old wet willy when your coworker is resting or sleeping on brake or the loud fart in the elevator when your buddy gets in and the doors close.

Answer 7

Some people are boring, one of my favourites is:

You get a box of paperclips and cut out the bottom, then place them on someone desk so when they pick them up they go everywhere.

P.S. use a piece of card to help you to put the box on their desk!!

Answer 8

Vinegar in the old water cooler. Come early and spend about 4 dollars for vinegar. Fill up the cooler. it doesn't hurt anyone and you laugh your rear end off.

Answer 9

Depends on where you work, but generally there is no such thing as a 'good' practical joke. Most backfire on the perpetrator sooner or later.
