Know of any nice practical jokes?

Asked by krose1223 (3274points) January 5th, 2009

Now that I have put my two weeks notice in at work everyone is playing little practical jokes on me here and there. Nothing too bad yet but I know I have something big coming. I do so enjoy getting my revenge… :)

I work at a police department… for the record.. and it’s the po po’s that I’m dealing with.

You should hire a gay male stripper dressed like a cop to come in and dance to a song or two.

My brain normally doesn’t think this way, so I could use some help in thinking about this for you. What practical jokes are they playing on you?

This is one that my brother and his wife did to some friends. They typed highly personalized messages on slips of paper and slipped them into Chinese fortune cookies. When they went out to dinner with their friends at a Chinese restaurant, they paid the waitress to replace the restaurant’s fortune cookies with theirs.

Guy in the office here had a lot of knick-knacks in his office: bobble heads, music CDs, toy dinosaurs… crap basically.

So I started swapping out one piece of his crap for another similar piece of crap. Exchange his Foo Fighters CD with an old Van Halen 5150 cassette, for example. Or replace a Star Wars action figure with an electronic key fob that plays sound clips from Napoleon Dynamite.

Fun, and it might take some time for the target to notice. You get to be creative. In the end, you give all the original stuff back. No harm, no foul.

Or you could just re-arrange the letters of his keyboard to spell out something funny.

Take those small sticky notes and attach one to the underside of everyone’s mouse. The paper keeps the mouse ball from moving the curser and nobody ever thinks to check that out while they are trying to figure out why their computer is not working. It is also very harmless as far as office pranks go.

In a cubicle environment, if you have those overhead bins with the doors that swing up and down…

Get a bunch of those 3-hole punch cutouts (chads?) and pile ‘em on top of the open door. Then, when the victim swings it down to close it, they get hundreds of little pieces of paper fluttering down all over the place.

Bonus if they’re multi-colored.

Come April 1st my office buddies will have chads in their cubes!!

In Microsoft Word’s Autocorrect thing, make it so that when they type their name, fart will appear instead. :D

Take a screen shot of their desktop and put it up on their computer so they will think it’s frozen. No matter how much they click or what they do, nothing will happen!
