QuoteSellotape on the phone usually works once (tape the bit under the receiver, so it keeps ringing after you pick it up).
Bit of a strange one this but as I am a bit of a prankster about work I have exhausted most of my tricks around the place. From moving desks around the place to changing phones and setting up repetitive tasks on people's computers or stealing the office christmas tree and messing up decorations. I'm not a fan of prank calls because you can get a serious call and think its a prank but it doesn't stop me anyhow.
So I'm looking for a few fresh ones on this. Because work is a bit crazy at the minute so I don't find the time to get planning. Any ideas.

Little bit of black shoe polish on the earpiece of the phone. Tends to work better on Caucasian folks mind you...

Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
Well if you're out of work I'm currently casting for my latest play at the Drama School.
We're looking for a Queen and I think you'd be perfect!
That's strange, a Wacky Prank Calls advert just above this very thread. Strange!

They parse the pages and deliver appropriate ads. That's why I use them, it's the best of a bad lot.

if you have ever watched the american office you'll see some crackers...like inserting a weight every day into someones handset so it steadily gets heavier and then one day taking them all out so they lift it fast and slap themselves in the head....of hiding someones mobile above the tiles in the roof and ringing it...
My Goal Is To Deny Yours...
I like taking someone's mobile and taping it to the underside of their desk or chair and then ringing it.
Another old favourite is the poppoing and switching around of keys on the keyboard, the less obvious ones like switcking N with M...CLASS

a small bit of sellotape over the optical sensor on the bottom of a mouse is always funny - i've caught out a couple of lads in work with it - and they're all IT heads
When the person is away from their chair, take off the the lock on the chair (assuming there is one and it's locked when the person uses it) so the next time they sit down they might fall back.
If the phone is a headset, unplug the connection and stick a piece of paper into it then re-connect the headset. The person on other end of phone won't be able to hear anyone the next time phone is used.
Sellotape the phone to the computer. Fairly annoying having to unwrap the whole thing
Hit the mute button on the other persons phone before, or even better during, a call.
Shut down their computer when they're in the middle of reading something on screen to a customer.
Stick a thumbtack on their chair.

Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Change a number in their mobile phone, of the wife or the girlfriend, to the local police dept or an ex if you have it
Our office sleaze ball old fella thought he was getting a loan of a hot porno video (a few years ago) off one of the lads in the office.
Later when he got home and hot gotten his missus off to bed and himself sat down on his own to watch it,he pressed play.
The tape started and looked promising but just when it got down to business
the tape cut to our office and there was the whole staff shouting at him telling him to button up his pants,etc,etc
(I had camcorded the office bit and stitched it into the tape)
I believe the dirty old goat nearly died of fright.

I've done a bit of messing around with the chairs but drew the line at causing somebody either the embarrassment or risk of injury. As a health and safety inspector I have to draw the line carefully right there.
Some cracking idea's up there. There's a bit to do around the phone so I may draw on a few ideas there.
When I worked in Ipswich there was an area called the 'break out area' between both sides of the floor. After weeks of discussion on possible interpretations of the break out area we managed to justify our actions, simultaneously ran out and screamed. The few that got the joke found it funny.
I've always had a thing for stealing christmas trees and the year before last I went a bit far designating it its own locker and heading to Ireland for christmas.I came back to all out war between two teams. One blamed the other for taking the tree. Queue my return to desperately try to calm down and appease. Tree returned with note stating 'I had to get away'. Signed tree.
Keep them coming anyhow. I'm clean out of ideas and haven't the time to dream as many up. Resorting to simpler methods at the minute.
Cant believe ye fell for my wind up folks!!!With your cheery disposition you'll retire in the same position!If any of ye knew me you would know im a complete messer, dont work in an office though.
Seriously though there are numerous things to do in an office. Have you tried putting salt in the sugar bowl for starters????
