Work Prank

Somewhat off-topic but what'd you think of the VMware classes? Have you taken the VCP exam yet?

Curious as well. Hopefully they've improved it. I took the class for VCP 3 and the exams for VCP 3 and 4 covered so much more than the class touched on. The best bet is to download and memorize as much of the product documentation and admin guide as possible.

Thats great stuff. I have a feeling this is an ongoing thing in the office.

Sounds like this should be on ongoing topic.

Guys I work with have been known to pour this powder in the toilet that turns all the water into one giant piece of gel like a big piece of jello. No cool for the next guy who has to "drop off"

you can also stretch really tight over the top of the toilet bowl some plastic wrap then close the seat on top . if someone is in a hurry and sits they will get messy for sure


another harmless one .

take a photo copie of a paperclip , make several of these on various locations on the paper . then load it in the new copy paper tray .
when some one makes a copy out comes a paperclip image on their docment , then they go nuts trying to find the paperclip in the copier


if some one leaves their computer unlocked ,
do a print screen and save it as a pic , open the pic full screen and hide their tool bars so the image looks like their desk top , they will be trying to click on the icons that won;t work

in college a friend and I stole a bus. that was a good one.

pretty funny! also a felony but pretty damn funny lol
Please tell me it was a school bus lol

if some one leaves their computer unlocked ,
open their outlook, and create a fun little auto-response/out-of-office, possibly sexual and outright embarrasing in nature, and then
do a print screen and save it as a pic , open the pic full screen and hide their tool bars so the image looks like their desk top , they will be trying to click on the icons that won;t work

Fixed

just a regular transit bus. we drove them so it technically wasn't a felony. I was driving and my friend Mike was working the office that night. I dropped him off at the freshman dorm and got on the radio to the other driver and told him I think his bus was leaking oil so he should check next time he stops. When he got out and got to the back where the engine is Mike jumped in and took off. He was scared for a second then realized it was Mike. Its not easy to steal one so quick cause you gotta know where the parking brake is hidden.

Love the paperclip one!

And I was just about to suggest the "screenshot wallpaper" trick. I did that a few times and it's a riot You gotta hide the toolbar, too so they can't click the Start button or anything.

Another good one is rotating their computer screen orientation so that it's upside down or something. In some versions of Windows you can do it by pressing Ctrl + Alt + one of the arrow keys.

Love that one, unfortunately most newer machines with Vista and 7 you can't do it anymore, without going into the graphics tray and changing the orientation.

[OreoGaborio]

Yeah, that sucks.

A fast and easy prank is to put scotch tape under the optical sensor in the mouse. The mouse will still work............. barely.

Its a repost...

[OreoGaborio]

Think I'm gonna try to pull off this one...

And that's how you take something funny and make it annoying.

you kidding me? everyone thought it was our network or something in the mall

[dsmclown]

Once to everyone isn't that annoying... everyone daily or more often than once in a blue moon, that is annoying.

Another fun one is to edit the hosts file to redirect commonly used sites all over the place.

Most office applications like word have macros for auto-replace on certain words. You can add all sorts of gems. The subtlest one is to replace a correctly spelled word slightly misspelled, then add it to the dictionary.

I alphabetized a keyboard before.

Common, I did both of those in middle school.
Got really used to the principals office...

Another good computer trick; take a screen shot of the desktop, set the screeny as the background, move all the folders/desktop icons to a folder somewhere, then "hide" the task bar. A classic.

I've also done a couple more complicated tricks, involving rewiring cars (windshield wipers to a relay to the windows can be fun [though dangerous, particularly if you misjudge your victims sense of humor]).

[Drewski]

Once set an air horn under a co-workers seat and rigged up a pressure trigger for it. He climbed in and sat in the driver's seat, but not for long. His head hit the roof when that went off........

[SVRACER01]

OH SHIT! even the mouse works backwards when you change the orientation LOL

[SVRACER01]

jumper wire from the horn on a motorcycle to any other device like the turn signals or starter will make the horn go off

Another one I found quite funny was to not bother reading and posts in a thread and then reply with something that has been mentioned twice before in the same thread.

Giggity

[OreoGaborio]

Ever hook up the horn to another electrical part of a bike or car? That's a one funny, too.
