Recent office pranks

[CBT]

The majority of the folks I work with are prior military. We have social graces when they are required, but for the most part it's fart jokes(or actual farts), party stories, war stories, and generally all around rude crude and socially unacceptable behavior squeezed into the work day as much as possible. This includes pranks. 2 recent ones stand out, since it is raining today it reminded me of one in particular...
PRANK 1
Step 1: Save up the paper from the 2 and 3 hole punches.
Step 2: Open someones umbrella when they are not looking.
Step 3: Dump all the paper "dots" into said umbrella.
Step 4: Close umbrella.
Step 5: Cover your ears when they open it, because depending on who you do it to, the words "Mother F@cker!!!!" can actually cause partial deafness within a 6 block radius.
PRANK 2
Step 1: Get 2 small, common wood screws.
Step 2: Get a screwdriver for those screws.
Step 3: Get a thick rubberband.
Step 4: Screw the screws under the desk, one under the bottom back of the top drawer, the other under the bottom of the desk about 6 inches away.
Step 5: Connect the rubberband to the 2 screws, make sure it's tightly wound.
Step 6: Watch the person repeatedly open their drawer and get pissed because it keeps slamming back shut. Bonus points if they actually get a couple finger pinched.

These were not pulled on me, and I can neither confirm nor deny being involved in carrying these attacks out on Ross and Ken. :cool:

The original annoy-a-tron actually made one guy quit at our work. We didn't like him anyway, so we put one in his backpack.

A few more:

Carefully super glue down the "switch" on someone's telephone. When they go to answer it, it'll continue to ring. Works best on folks who use the phone a lot.

A thin film of anything wet and or gooey works well on the ear piece.

There's more, but I'm busy at work keeping out of pranksters way right now.

We have wars in our office... Little balls of paper in our hands and as we walk by a co-workers office, we throw them and let them rain down in the person's office... stupid stuff like that

Years ago I put one of those tiny annoying musical things that came in greeting cards in the ear piece of my bosses phone. The music thing was near death and not loud enough to hear unless you actually had the phone to your ear, plus it was loud where we worked so it disguised it even better. For half a day he couldn't figure out how everyone he managed to be on the phone with had the same dumb ass song playing in the background, lol.

I think the USB key is much more evil, because it's less obvious. Random mouse movement, and random keyboard keys. It drives people mad! Especially if you only connect it on Mondays.

We geeks are so evil. The fact the rest of the office thinks we are harmless work in our favour.
