Any good office pranks to do on my last day of work?

Question

Nothing really mean or hurtful, just funny and memorable...

I already plan to change the language on the copier to Japanese.

Answer 1

Empty a few containers of glitter around the office. It will take years before it's all gone - no matter how hard they try to vacuum it!

Simply pop out the 'm' and 'n' key on someone's keyboard and reverse the two. Any flat tool will work. Just pry it with little pressure and they will easily come right off. Or, in honor of our former president, pop of the the first letter of your first or last name.

Grab a bag and start removing nameplates from people's desks and their doors. Swap them all around so that everyone has someone else's nameplate on their desk or door. For extra confusion, include multiple floors or buildings in your prank.

Most people keep a framed photo of a loved one or cherished pet on their desks. Cut out a random picture from a magazine or catalog (say, a woman wearing a bikini, or an ad for computer network hubs), open up the frame, and put the random photo in front of the real photo. Or, gather up a number of pictures from around the office, take them out of their frames and swap them with pictures from their co-workers desks.

This works if you work in an office or computer lab with a shared printer. Find a random picture of a person on the internet who has haunted looking face (if you can find one with several different expressions - even better). Print it out as a faint watermark and make a few copies (each one with a different expression if you have it). Then shuffle a handful of the printouts back into the printer's blank paper tray (i.e., the tray where you load the paper). Or a similar version is you can print out a few sheets with a faint ghostly or haunting message in the paper's margins. A message from a ghost haunting the printer could be funny.

Take a paperclip and make a a few dozen photocopies of it. Mix them up with normal, unused paper in the copier's paper tray. Watch people go crazy trying to find the paperclip that's stuck in the photocopier.

Go to the Windows Control Panel and double-click "Mouse." Switch the right mouse button so that it's activated by the left mouse button, and vice-versa. For even more fun, make the mouse go as slowly as you can, then laugh as it takes them forever to switch it back.

Warning - this one is gross! All you need to do is go to your local grocery store, and buy a LARGE amount of gelatin (not Jell-O, just clear disgusting-tasting gelatin). Go to your bathroom at work -- this works best with the men's urinal/stall combo bathroom -- and put it in the toilets. You'll need to use 3-4 "servings" per toilet, but this is still quite inexpensive. Within minutes, the water in the toilets will have congealed into a CLEAR, yet hard substance. Now, when someone goes into a stall (which means, of course, that they have to expel solid waste), their feces will fall out, bounce up, then remain SITTING on top of the toilet "water," stinking like hell! This does no permanent damage -- all you have to do is scoop about 1/2 of the congealed water out, then flush, and it's gone.

Pick a deserving target (let's say "Kathy"). Come in early and leave a Post-It on everyone else's monitor saying "See me when you get in -- Kathy."

Find a "zip tie" (also known as a "cable tie") that's similar in color to your co-worker's phone cord. Place around both ends of the cord, as close to the handset as possible. This will shorten the cord to about an inch. Clip the end of the zip tie so it's not sticking out suspiciously. Wait until your co-worker tries to answer the phone. There's nothing funnier than watching him or her try to answer with the rest of the phone hanging from the handset.

Chia pet your co-worker's keyboards. Pop off the keys and add the seeds. Then replace the key and wipe up and give away mess.

Create some fake job offer letter to your co-worker and randomly fax them in over the next few weeks. Be sure to make them look real. Make the offers "interesting" so as to start a few fun office rumors as people gossip about what they saw lying on the fax machine.

Put a piece 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.

Go into MS Word or similar program 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 "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!" or something like that. They will usually panic and start scanning for viruses.

Answer 5

This one is from my brother in law. On the last day of his internship in an office, he switched all of the furniture and everything in two peoples cubicles. That way their area visually was the same but moved to a different section. Needless to say the boss was not amused and he had to put everything back. He didn't care, he was leaving anyway. At least he can say he did it.

Answer 8

My last day of work I went back out after the place closed at night and planted a bunch of rediculously out of place flower bulbs in the landscaping. All summer long, weird and out of place stuff was growing out of the berm and no one had any idea where it was coming from.
