I got fired from my job, but they had me come in one last day. What is something funny or mischievous I can do so they wont forget me?

Asked by iceblu (919points) April 18th, 2008

Before we start, I don’t have any anger or hate. I would like to do something funny and forgettable. Kinda along the lines of stupid and WTF kind of idea’s. And if it helps, I work at a computer store. Use your imaginations =]

Be the bigger person and go out respectfully. You’ll be glad you did when your new job calls for references. I know it’s not the witty answer you’re looking for but you shouldn’t F around when it comes to your work reputation.

@CameraObscura You don’t understand my job tho, i have 4 people that work here, my boss is 23, i can get away with some funny things without him getting to upset, i just wanna have a little laugh before i go, it doesn’t have to be something bad.

@bassist_king1 if i didn’t work in a plaza, i probably would =D

Ok, then upper-deck the toilet, have a few friends come in with ski-masks and simulate a robbery, or buy a few of these and hide them around the office:

Go in to work without your pants on. Act completely cool and natural and when they point it out, just say its your last attempt to install Trouserless Thursday!

Well, I used to change my bosses default internet home page to www.ratemypoo.com. Maybe you could do that to all the computers. It’s harmless and a quick easy fix. Plus, it grosses people out when they least expect it. Everyone would laugh when they heard the loud yell of disgust / surprise. It took him awhile to figure out who was doing it. Pay backs are a bitch though and he got me back a few times.

” ahha robbery, funny cause we got scammed for for 6 laptop’s, but we got em back after the cops pulled them over for a traffic stop. Thats good tho, i’m considering it, i have till 5 EST.” Wonderful, guess you want a free room and board tonight in the local jail.

Here’s an idea, unscrew the cover of the hearing parts of a few phones and put a piece of tape over the speaker and then screw the cover back on!

iceblu's avatar

@Babo i have done that already, also i put tape over the optical lens on all the mice. =D

@Seesul ahah, i didn’t mean real robbery, but just a joke, like taking something really expensive and hiding it from him and see if he finds it.

hahaha….Babo the prankster! Somehow I now have mental image of Babo’s avater scampering around sabotaging the phones! :)

It depends on what type of place you work at but my friend who worked at a fine-dining restaurant, where the owners were assholes, did this:

She waited until just the right moment. It was a packed Saturday night at a popular neighborhood spot in NYC. With her entire section full, she made her way to the bathroom, stripped down completely, and returned to the dining room to resume table service until the owner nervously commanded her to leave. I guess she was taking orders and everything!

However, I’m also a fan of CameraObscura’s upper-decker idea.

Go buy some stink bomb bags. They are cheap and you can find them at the dollar store. You break the inside of them and it takes a good minutes before they pop. Do this to about 4 of them. They are loud and smell like a million chili farts. You can drop them in the trash on your way out the door.
You can also reverse the mouse for a left hander on the computers.
If you really want to make an impression then buy a cut of salmon on the way to work, a small one will do. Hide it near an exhaust fan by a hard drive somewhere on your way out. The next day it will smell of fish.

I am big on the smells. They linger.

Take a screenshot of their desktop and leave it up on their screen. It will make them wonder why they can’t open any programs.

hide a dead fish somewhere or maybe even put it in a locker or drawer and epoxy or superglue it shut. i squirted superglue in all the locks of a restaurant i worked at once then rolled in three hours late the next morning and everyone was standing outside.

@everyone So my Boss, i made his LCD screen look like its crack by putting an image of a broken LCD screen as the screen saver with only that image, put a piece of tape over his mouse, and a piece of tape in his keyboards USB port.(So they don’t work) My other employee I stuck a fart bag under his chair so when he sits it goes off. Along with making his Vista startup sound, “I LOVE GAY Pr0N”, and every time he types the letter “T” in Word, it closes it.

Thanks for all the advice =]

I know this is late, but you should try this stuff just for the hell of it sometime.

oh crap! i had a really good idea.
i was saying that you should have scanned a picture of sh*t and sent it to his desktop or you could have locked several firecrackers not the really harmful ones that are potentially detrimental to the structure of your work building [like fires] and lots of stink bombs in a bathroom stall and coax your boss to take a quick trip to the bathroom because some people are looking at his naked wife/husband in there and then watch him as he is frightened by the smell and sounds coming from the stall!! that would have been good!!
