Practical Joke

[Dick Cheese]

Ok, following on from my last question, it seems as though at some time or another every one has had a boring job. So in order to pass the time, what is the best practical joke you have played on some one at work? We've already done the "glueing the telephone together" and "hot chilli sauce in the drink" jokes.

Popping out and swapping round someone's M and N buttons on their keyboard.  As long as they're not touch typists!!

Or alternatively leave someone a message to phone Mr C Lyon with the Seal Sanctuary's number.

Leave an note for them to contact Mr Hugh Jarse who called when they were out.....

If u work in a lab ...tell the newbie to wait outside a door and ask the person who opens that u are there for a long stand....

Cling film over the toilet bowl....

I had a particularly dim co-worker in one job and eveyone in the whole department joined together to convince her that the government was bringing out a coin to the value of �3.80.

Black electrical tape accross the mouth piece of my boss's black phone. He could hear the person on the line but they could not hear him. It worked great.

If your victim is using a Windows PC then minimise all windows and hit print screen, saving the image as a jpeg or bmp.  Change the desktop settings to use this image as a wallpaper and then remove or drag offscreen all the users icons.  They will then have a desktop that looks like it is full of their usual icons but none will work as they are only part of the wallpaper.  The funniest part when we last tried this was when the baffled victim called the IT support team and an engineer came out and still couldn't work it out!

Change their autotext settings in Microsoft Word.

Sellotape over the ball in their mouse. Especially good on a Friday afternoon after a couple of drinks at lunchtime, otherwise far too easy to work it out

we had a slightly dim lad working for us and someone broke one of the fluroescent tubes in the warehouse so they sent the dim lad up to the sales office (mostly filled with young women) to ask if they had a spare felopian tube he could have as the one in the warehouse was broken..he got laughed out of the office..

 tt9 you've made my day, that's brilliant!!!

[NoGood Boyo]

Yes, that merits a standing ovulation.

If you work on the phones, we used to play a mad game whereby you have a list of words or phrases, approx 8, mad words inc. and first person to get all words in telephone conversation to next customer inbound/outbound, in shortest time wins a shot from all team on fri at pub. I worked in telecomms, selling mobiles over the phone. We had words like incredulous, congratulations, 'feel the phone', it was mad when i called this guy only to hear his business was going in to liquidation. I had to say 'congratulations thats incredulous but if I send out the phone you will be able to 'feel the phone'', there was more but wont bore you, you get the jist hehe! I won too so that was good result! Ps watch out for bosses and recorded calls, our boss was cool!

Hide in a cupboard and pretend to be a ghost (scratching works wonders).  This is most effective if the place you work is very spooky (mine was reputed to have two ghosts) and is especially funny if you can manage to get your hardest, most rational colleague to run from the room, screaming like a little girl.....aaaah, great days.....

I filled tights with sand and stuck them in the beach, hubby and I spent a hoot of an hour watching people double take.   Try it, its fun
