To get fired?

Took a screenshot of someone’s desktop (tons of icons on there). Moved all their icons to another folder and made the screenshot their desktop background. All of us enjoyed watching this person constantly click on the “icons” on their desktop and nothing happening. Several restarts later, we let them know what we did.

Decorated an office for Christmas. It was not even winter, she just loved Christmas.

Someone made cookies, one guy wore a Santa suit, and we all welcomed her back from training with Christmas carols. The associated light up reindeer was a white elephant gift for years afterwards.

This is the best kind of prank: the one where everyone has a good time 🎄

Call from a private number to their work number and say “this is mike Tyson” with the same voice Michael Scott used to prank Ryan

Did this once for a co-worker’s birthday - her kid loved Frozen and was driving her crazy demanding to watch Frozen movie and listening to the songs every week for one year. So for her birthday, I hid a Bluetooth speaker in her recycle bin and played the theme song when she was focusing on the monitor and would quickly turned it off when she got up and got suspicious. Did that a few times until she got up, interrogate a few people around her space and looked for the source of the sound. We had a great laugh. She and I are pretty good friends, workload was light, and it was her birthday so it all worked out :p

I always like unplugging mice, monitors, etc when possible if there’s a prank culture. Not going to win any awards for hilarity but not gonna get fired either.

But don’t just randomly prank someone - never know if they’re too busy or serious for your BS.

I’ve done more elaborate ones in the past but they take planning and are obvious to everyone so more appropriate for a colleague returning from a honeymoon or something (tin foiling all items at desk, inflating 500 balloons and putting them inside someone’s cube, etc)

I put Dwight’s stapler in jello

When they lock their computer, go to the accessibility settings and turn on filter keys. They won’t be able to log in then until they turn it off.

Haven’t you seen The Office ??
