Re: cubicle practical joke

Switching the "M" and "N" letters always fucks with people who stare at the keyboard when they type.

swap their qwerty keyboard with a dvorak one

classic prank: take a snapshot of the desktop, make it the background wallpaper and delete all of the shortcuts off of their desktop.

a good IT joke is to put scotch tape over the inside of a usb connector for a mouse.. makes people so mad why it won't work.. i've even gotten people simply taping over the optical eye..

Re: cubicle practical joke

get a piece of fine wire or string and tie the phone cord coming right out of the receiver to where it attaches to the base. When he answers his phone he'll end up pulling the whole thing off his desk.

if you want to up the ante, put shoe polish on the earpiece, too

Re: cubicle practical joke

Put his stapler, mouse, pens, keys to drawers... anything that will fit... inside balloons. With each item, put a little confetti (a la the hole punch) into each balloon and blow it up. That way when he has to pop the balloons to get stuff out, it sprays confetti everywhere...

This takes a little patience (and usually a few balloon tries to get the larger items in ok...) ... but it worked well.

Re: cubicle practical joke

At my office I've done:

- Wrap everything in saran wrap (similar to tin foil above)

- Fill cubicle with balloons

- Move another desk into someones cubicle then convince them they have a "cubicle mate" now. Good if the cubicle is already too tiny.

- Jello a computer mouse (a la Stapler from The Office)

Look no further than the "annoy-a-tron"

If you go this route, buy a couple as I want one

too bad you only have 2 walls, a couple boxes taped to the doorway of the cube and a bunch of blown up balloons are a good alternative to the packing peanuts one.

Soak half a doughnut in coffee and orange juice for a little while, line the floor with newspapers, place doughnut somewhere on the office floor, squirt some of the orange juice coffee mixture on the newspaper around the doughnut. If you want, make some sort of retaining wall with a little creativity.

Re: cubicle practical joke

Super glue his stapler to his desk or his coffee cup (Caution really good superglue and crappy desk = mark left behind) (we found that out put still play the joke)

There is the bublewrap everything or you can wrap everyhting in newspaper.

The classic sticky notes covering every inch of his office.

If you have access to packing peanuts you shrink wrap his cubical and fill it up (large amount of peanuts required)

The easy re-arrange his whole area. Modified version is take everyhting off his desk flip the desk upside down and put everything back on the way it was.

Modified version of the superglue trick is to use a silicone product something that will seal water tight but easy to tear off. Then place a plastic cup upside down fill with water using a needle/suringe for extra bonus put something he will need inside the cup so that he has to lift the cup.

Hidden cellphone/pager (trick from the office) put it in the ceiling or taped to the back of his desk and phone it often. For added mental stress make sure to tell everyone in the office to act like they can't hear it. (Caution he may take stress leave due to him hearing things)

Move all his personal things out of his area get a new kid (someone he hasn't seen) to sit in his spot acting like he i working. Then get his boss to call him into his office to make him think he was replaced while he was away.

Grease/vasaline on the phone ear piece then some on the underside of the arms of his chair. Just so everytime he cleans his hands off he touches something else that also has stuff on it.

Air horn taped to the bottom of his chair so when he sits down it goes off. (May cause shitting of pants)

Take all his pens from his desk and remove the inner pen part and put them back. So when he is on the phone and goes to take a message he has no pen to write with.

Thats all i can think of right now and most of these we have used at work here and they are very ammusing. The more people you can get to play along the better also do multiples so as he overcomes one obstical he hits the next.

and yes we have to much time on our hands here at work.
