I was just looking at some pics that Chucky posted, of all the balloons and ornaments placed around his cubicle at work, for his birthday.

Got me to thinking about all the different pranks and funny things that people do to other workmates.

I used to work in an office and everyone was always doing something to someone else. It brightens the day, and makes the drudge of work a bit of a happier place.

My favourite one, was, to put the earpiece of the phone in the stamp pad, and place it back on the receiver, so the ink could not be seen by the unsuspecting person who was next to answer the phone.

Dont know how many people used to walk around with a blue ear for most of the day.

Tell us about what you have done or what has had happened to you.

Oh....another time, we hid prawn (shrimp) shells in different places in our Boss's office.

In the back of his cabinet, under files, in the telephone, even in the light fitting in his office, oh and someone, even unscrewed his office chair and put some down the tube under the chair.

He found most of them, but the one in the chair had him baffled for a while.

Good thing he had a sense of humour, as his office stunk for days.

Katie77:
And another one.......

We would often get boxes of chocolates and share them around the office. One lady, always squeezed them all to find the hard ones, as she wouldn't eat soft ones.

So one time we replaced all the hard ones with soft ones, and she had a hell of a time squeezing them all, and trying to find one that she was gonna eat.

We all stood around out of sight, watching her, go through the box.

Katie77:
And of course.......there was always the one when someone put the salt in the pepper shaker and visa versa. Or salt in the sugar.

Before I was an Optometrist I was a clinical chemist. I worked in a hospital laboratory, it was high pressure so we had to introduce some levity. One day a friend and I discovered that if we put pipette tips on very big syringes we had amazing water pistols. One thing led to another and we eventually had an the mother of all water psitols. 2 100 ml syringes taped together with tips on the end could fire from one side of the laboratory to another.

One day while waiting for some results, we decided to have a fight,We were in mid battle when in walked the principal Chemist, right at the best or worst moment, depending on your perspective, he entered. We simultaneously fired and he was caught right in between. We only got away with it because he had a thing for me.

Depending on how this thread progresses, I can tell tales that only those of a very strong stomach could stand.
