Pranks to Play at Work That May or May Not Get You Fired -"Accidentally" send a personal e-mail to the entire company voicing your disapproval of your boss's constant reference to the CEO as an "ugly, stupid, lazy, spineless fuck". -Write a coworker's initials in White-Out on the photocopier. -Schedule a series of important departmental meetings and forget to show up to them. -Send blank sheets of paper via interoffice mail. (Marked "urgent" and "confidential", of course.) Remember to send a few to the mailroom; they'll especially get a kick out of it. -Adulterate other people's lunches: take bites out of sandwiches, sprinkle bacon bits in vegetarians' salads and spike the thermos of iced tea with grain alcohol. -See how long you can hide a paper bag full of tuna fish in the back of the refrigerator before someone notices it. (Writing someone else's name on the bag goes without saying.) -Put a paper bag full of your own feces in the microwave and leave it cooking on high. -Page someone over the company intercom with the message "Your sex-therapist is on the line and wants to reschedule the appointment." -Set a mouse free in the office each day. When the problem becomes an epidemic, send snakes after them. -Draw a flip-cartoon of a man running on the bottom of every notepad in the office supply closet. -Hide in the supply closet and scare people when they open the door. -Put a fake rubber hand in your sleeve, and when a secretary walks by, stick the hand in a paper shredder and scream. -When someone is at lunch, use their computer to e-mail a 200 megabyte database file to everyone in the company. The e-mail's subject, of course, should contain at least one vulgarity. -Submit letters of resignation for other employees. -Conduct all correspondence with your friend in the next office via Federal Express early-morning next-day delivery. -Dial the phone number of the guy in the next cubicle whenever he walks away from his desk. Hang up before he can run back to answer it. Repeat often. -Hire a stripper for the office Christmas party. -Send counterfeit memos from the company president, politely letting employees know that they've been fired and must clear out their offices and leave the building immediately. -Covertly replace people's PowerPoint presentations with "director's cut" versions, containing a nice dose of nudity and misleading bar graphs. -Report rumors daily via the bathroom wall. -Pull a fire alarm while someone is in the bathroom. -Whenever a coworker makes a mistake, offer them the opportunity to "help you out" in exchange for you not reporting the mistake to their boss. -Sew a tag containing a coworker's name into a jockstrap or bra, and leave it on the center of a conference table before a meeting. (Small sizes of these garments improve performance of the prank.) -Take a stack of resumes from the recruitment department and schedule some interviews for fictional, but high-paying, positions. -Shoot a cap gun, bang some pots and pans, scream into a megaphone, or do whatever else it takes to have an enjoyable surprise birthday party for the senile old bastard that no one has the guts to fire. -Hand an envelope to the new guy and ask him to deliver the "cancellation of pension" memo to the sixty-four year old mailroom clerk. -See how many funerals in a row you can get away with leaving work early for. -Respond to every request by your boss with the phrase "I would prefer not to."
