    There is this really stupid girl where I work, so me and a friend concaucted a plan to make her freak out.

    I brought up in a conversation that i was 17 years old (a lie) and convinced her of it. I go off to do something, come back, and my buddy asks me how old I am a few minutes into a conversation, and I say I'm 15.

    At this point, she just has a dumb look on her face. "But, like, I thought that, like, you were 17!"

    This happens throughout the day, from 1 in the afternoon to 9 at night. I convinced her I was 21 at one point. By the end she just started yelling at me and throwing stuff, but still believed everything I said.

    BTW, she is one of those people who thinks that dinosaurs never existed. She is THAT kind of stupid.

    Be hard to replace.

    In my case, I write shit-tons of Java code that isn't commented and will explode if I'm ever fired. Of course the last part is a complete lie, but what they don't know...

    I also installed blue sleeve covers over the fluorescent tube bulbs in his office. Once his office was suitably strange looking, I put a big rainbow on his door.

    I wouldn't fuck with my Managers/Bosses. They are too cool.

    Just this past week the nightshift manager asked me to drop him off at the "office."

    The "office" being this sportsbar a good 2 miles away and he told me I can just hang out there for a while till my shift was up, then run back and punch out. :^:

    My boss couldn't have fired me if he wanted to. The entire operation would have collapsed around his ears. I was responsible for 70% of what went out the door.


    "Dan could empty the safe, put it in his pockets, and flip me off..... and I'd hold the door for him on the way out."

    I learned about it at Humongous before Atari came around so I'm not surprised if it sounds familiar to you.

    I think Vetch told me about it. (I was there well after your time, but the best stories stick)

    You can cock two guns at once by interlocking their slides and using the tension to pull them both.

    Hard to explain, but easy enough to do. Though there's not enough of a lip to get a good grip, so I suppose you could mod them by adding some sort of lip to the slide which would be easier to catch.

    ..... this probably makes no sense.

    Or you can just have hands big enough to cock a maverick one-handed.

    Easier.

    I work at a Fred Meyer and we have these scanner guns.
    Well this jack ass kept shining his in my eyes. So I went to the furnature department during my break and took a slip from a couch. The next time he pointed his scanner at me I held up the slip. At Fred Meyer if you have to remove and imem that cost more than $50 from an order you have to call a manager. So he had to call the manager and explain how a $399 couch ended up in his order. It was made even worse when I got him two more times.

    I rather like the idea behind this thing. the power of air compression.

    At my night security job (walking around an apartment's parking lot, trying to be inconvenient to thieves) I sometimes twist up water bottles real tight and let the caps off, to get that big 'BOOM' sound. Don't know if it disturbs people, I just like doing it, and it's decent exercise for the forearms.

    If I was connected up to the big printer here in the office I would so do that.

    It'd be especially hilarious because things are taken off this printer, taken down to the reprographics room and automatically laminated. So in the middle of some high-level military stuff would be a "You've been sharked!" image all nicely laminated and shiny.

    So, last night a coworker of mine didn't lock his computer or log off when he went home. And we all know what that means... time to fuck with him!

    I screen shotted his desktop, hid his task bar, hid all of his icons, put the screen shot as the wallpaper and reversed his two mouse buttons. Lo and behold, he couldn't do shit.

    Well, I got in to work this morning and he was fucking livid, all bein' aggressive and saying that if I did it again he'd beat me. Shit like that. Turns out he couldn't figure out a way to fix it so he completely reformatted his computer.


    yes... he reformatted his computer instead of spending five minutes to "fix" it.

    He is supposed to be tech support.


    Anyway, moral of the story... how have you fucked with your coworkers?

    and go.

    I did that to a guy at work once but he didn't know how to fix it so I had to do it for him.

    Kind of defeated the purpose.

    we have shared computers and people are constantly leaving their email open

    once I couldn't take it and i had to look and read a couple of emails about JOB DRAMA

    but i am too scared to prank

    This kind of loses it's appeal once you're a network admin and can just load up anybody's exchange mailbox anyway.

    Yeah, the pranks I was involved with were usually pretty asshole.

    Like the one kid who thought he could be an asshole to me in one kitchen, and wouldn't believe me that I was going to burn him with the flaming metal spatula I had. Boy, was he surprised... I think his wrist still has a scar on it. But after that event we became pretty good friends.

    Same place I hated one of the supervisors, but the other ones liked me and so did the manager. So, I turned our hallway with all our bulletin boards upside down. Flipped everything around, every notice, the boards, the rug, coat hanger... Everything that wasn't bolted down, i flipped upside down. Unfortunately, she didn't even notice.

    Otherwise, the generic kitchen assholedness of spiking peoples drinks with random crap, cutting straws down to nothing...

    Haha,

    I also work as tech support for a hosting company, this one time one of my co-workers left his station on, and man we went to town with that shit.

    We changed all the important aliases we use like vi, ping, etc to do other random shit, and put on a script that would randomly crash his firefox(important because we work through an online case system) every 1 - 10 mins.

    He was so pissed because he couldn't figure out how to fix the firefox thing that he went and complained to upper management because we do have a policy that says we can't fuck with anyone's station, but management told him "well, there's also the policy that states you should never ever leave your work station unlocked."

    Man that was a drama week but funny as hell. :lol:

    When I was in high school, I worked at a restaurant for a while. One of the cooks and I got into a bit of a prank war. This one was my favorite. The cooks had these large metal seasoning shakers (about the size of a pop can) that they used to season steaks, burgers, etc. One day, before the cook came in, I took one of the shakers, unscrewed the lid, emptied it, then put about an inch of vinegar in the bottom. Then I covered the open top with a piece of tissue, and pushed it down a little ways into the container, making a bowl shape. The bottom of this tissue bowl was about an inch above the vinegar. Then I filled the tissue bowl with baking soda. Finally, replaced the lid and trimmed the extra tissue from around the outside of the lid.

    When he turned the shaker upside down and started to shake it, the vinegar quickly soaked through the tissue and mixed with the baking soda, sending an impressive fountain of foam all over the damn place.
