why dont you go on your colleauges computer (who has stupidly left himself logged in) and post a question about being gay! It would be hilarious!
Our office has done the following over recent months. (1) A colleague who cycles in leaves his trousers in the office, and he came in one morning to find both trouser legs sewn up (we also nicked his saddle at one point). (2) Chocolate mousse left in shoes (same person alas). (3) (and stolen from The Office TV prog - but V V funny all the same) setting peoples office equipment in jelly. (4) Changing the autotext in Word (memorably, a collegaue sent out a few letters where we had changed "and" to "I like playing with my wang" - thankfully the letters were to a sister company. and (5), and my personal favourite, putting a colleagues phone receiver in your butt crack, taking a photo and then setting it as his wallpaper (have never seen a receiver changed so quickly in my life). All very juvenile, but great fun.

another good one is to cover someone's desk with cups from the watercooler, staple them all together and then fill them up with water.

the only way to get rid of them is with a straw...

cling film over the toilet bowl.
Depending on what type of keyboard they are using, swapping round a couple of keys is always good one. Pop off two next to one another ie A & S or K & L and swap round.
great minds jenny tools, when clinton vacated the whitehouse so that dubya could take over, apparently the w s were removed from all the keyboards. we did a similar thing to a rivals office, our company name is comprised of three letters and we removed those three letters from all their keyboards on april 1st this year. (this was not easy, we didnt actually do any breaking and entering, but not far off)
This works best in large open plan offices. Get someone [who can keep a straight face/won't burst out laughin'] to phone thru to your victims phone. Caller says they're from telecom, get victim to put phone on desk & whistle a tune at phone, then get them to stand up several feet away & do likewise. Tell them to do it for a minute then they must pick the phone back up. Keep setting them different taks; say its an intermittent fault, some tunes work better than others, try it with coat on - because of static [you can go on & on with this]. Getting them to clap three times & pick the phone back up is a good one, you reply they've done it too quick/slow/quietly/loudly. We had someone wound up for � hour with this! Great for a friday afternoon!!
If you have coffee making facilities, change the normal coffee for extra strength caffeine coffee just for a few weeks and then change it to decaf.... While you stand out above the rest as a normal sane worker, your colleagues will be out of their minds wondering why they're feeling so weird! - This is all done in fun, believe me!
my dad works in one of the huge open plan offices, very proud of the day he and a mate went in at 6am and moved all the partitions round...
Treacle's dad's [sorry spellmeister] gem got me thinking. Several years ago we went onto "workstations" with mini 3 drawer cabinets on wheels. The idea was you parked up anywhere that was free. We re-labelled all the drawers [with the wrong names], put up & fake sign saying it was Admin who'd dun it. Another gem was to take all the balls out of the mice, making everyone buy them back - for charidy, mate

e=mc that would be so juvenile. A few fish and a dead prawn would be much better. My preference is switching the keys on the keyboard.
Re-programme their stored telephone numbers for VD clinics , child help lines or porn shops
One to leave for your final day - Nail a fish to the underside of their desk .
Why don't you just get on with your work - that's what you are paid for :-)
http://www.liquidgeneration.com/ go to the "Sabotage" section, pick one and send it to your victim. Be warned - you have to watch/listen first: turn your sound off and make sure no-one is behind you. "Somebody Wants Some Monkey Love" is the one I've used - a Monkey starts talking quietly, so you turn up the volume, only to be assaulted full blast by a spoof ad for "Chicks with ****s dot com".
Most everyone lives near some body of water and thus has access to a business that will sell supplies for Fisherman. Go to one of these stores and obtain a bag of Catfish (Stink or Blood Bait.) These baits resemble clay in looks and are easy to mold into shapes. (Always use rubber gloves as they do stink.) These are very easy to hide in a co-workers office and are very difficult to find. The bottom of a desk chair is a great place as is inside desk drawers. My favorite place to hide these however is inside an Air Conditioning vent. Remove the screws from the cover and reach way back into the duct and press one of these baits into a corner of the duct to secure it. The smell will build up inside the duct when the air is off and will blast out and into the office when the Air Conditioner comes on. Works even better in the winter months when you have the heat on. One last idea for places to hide these baits. Look around on the office walls and find nail holes where pictures have been hung previously. Apply a small amount into each nail hole and then just wait. It will never be found unless you want to tell them. rat314
