Office pranks.... need some ideas???
I work very closely with a team of 9 women and 1 bloke, they are some of the most mischevious characters you could ever work with.
Anyway, they pride themselves on their office pranks and our Manager often joins in too which is all good, we have done the usual:
Totally cover the desk & pc in post it notes
When someone is on holiday swap their desk draws with someone elses
Swap everything on someones desk to the opposite side
Hide food
Hide chairs
Give telephone messages to return calls to fake names
Hide random office equipment
Hide soft toys/teddy bears (off my desk I might add)
I rarely get involved as im often on the phone when they start scheming which usually keeps me safe and out of harms way, however, today they have discovered a new game, it all stemmed from an answerphone message I had to leave for a Customer this morning called Mr Farqhar....... they overheard me and promptly wet themselves laughing at his name
Now the game is everytime Clare is on the phone, they try their utmost to make me start laughing and it works cos im useless lol
Anyway, I need my revenge and im fresh out of ideas........... help me out??? What can I do to get my own back

hehehe!!! Thats a classic!
We used to make shark fins out of card or if you were really creative a massive cock!
Then you have to be really steady handed to slip it into the fold of their collar while their not looking! lol
Watch them walk about for hours with the whole office laughing at them!!!

pmsl you lot have warped minds, I cant do anything that involves damaging / vandalising Company property, or badly effects our Customer Service levels, however...........
I am totally loving this idea, will need to make sure its an internal call tho 
Again, a very do-able idea.......... must go and raid the stationary cupboard for sticky back velcro

use some sticky tape across the tracker ball under the PC mouse..
tear a post-it note and do the same if using an infra-red mouse with no tracker ball).
use sticky tape to tape down the receiver button on the telephone, thus when the handset is lifted the phone still rings..
turn the ringer volume to highest setting of the handset..
have fun.

Oooooh im liking the tape over the mouse ball, nice and simple, they went through a stage of removing the balls out of peoples mice but they havn't done it in a while now so wont suspect a thing
The beauty is, whatever I do, I wont get the blame for it as im not the most obvious suspect.......... unfortunately I probably wont be able to stop laughing and go bright red thus giving the game away, I am proper useless I tell thee

Wrap everything on their desk in newspaper or tinfoil.
Fill their drawers with polystyrene packing beans.
Break the tips off ALL their pencils and take the inks out of ALL their pens.

'Print screen' and saze file somewhere....
Set picture as desktop.....
Right click new folder on the desk top...
Put all the shortcuts in folder and hide in the very bottom of the screen......
Pull windows car into top left and hide off screen.....
They'll come back and nothing on the screen will work....they'll think the computers crashed and just keep re-booting...

Simple one - Change the location of their favourites in Internet Explorer to dating sites or something embarrasing, but leave the name of the favourite as it was so they keep going to random sites and don't know why!
You can also do the same with their programs so when they go to load Excel it loads www.boobs.com or loads MS Word or something
If you have cordless phones then change it to an embarrasing ring tone on full volume and hide it somewhere near/under their desk.
Setup important looking scheduled emails in Outlook to send at Sunday lunchtime or 9pm and pretend to everyone you've been working late
Swap two neighbouring desks keyboard an mice over so they both think they have crashed their PCs/ their mouse is moving randomly.
All pretty lame but can't think of anything else good for the moment
