Top Office Pranks, Part 3


"QUANTUM SHOT" #311
link



Read Part 1 and Part 2

Go ahead, make this prank. Your co-workers will be glad you did

All except the owner of the "pawn'd" office, that is. He may be lucky if he gets any help to clean this up. Also, depending on the quality of the prank, his sense of humour may somewhat help, but then again, your sense of job security may plummet...

Just wait till your victim falls asleep...



And get to work... here are some ideas. From the most harmless:


(photo by Jeff Zola)

to the most brutal (imagine the cleanup...)
Also choose the guy who hates the smell of popcorn -

Of course, the best thing would be to make a speeding vehicle out of the whole cubicle, like these guys at Portland Soapbox Derby did:

It becomes harder and harder to come up with original ideas for a prank:

"Post-It notes taking over" themes are so common now that they're routinely used in advertising:



and even being a perfectionist, you can still miss a spot (on the cardboard box, you notice)


(image credit: Rivet sf)

so you should think beyond using the obvious, and make pranks using...

JELLO.
Short of encasing the favorite objects of your co-worker in ice (which is impractical), this is the next best thing for making them inaccessible:

The mouse still worked in the previous picture, but this coffee cup is definitely unusable:


(original unknown)

Why stop at that? Prepare enough jelly to go all out:

Some other ideas:


(image credit: Matt Reinbold)

Create a furry/fuzzy rat infestation:

Make good use of his/her phobias:


(image credit: Christine)


(image credit: margoleath.com)

Or play on his/her cravings. Here... have some marshmallow "Peeps":






(images credit: badcasserole)

Get rid of some ugly furniture:



Attack his car:



Make him a refrigerator out of cardboard:


(image credit: cubejinx)

Cardboard is very pliable material for all sorts of arts:
(If you have a big office, there is always good chance it has someone resembling an Easter Island character)

This could be a subtle hint not to take work too seriously:


(image credit: juicystyle)

and go play a round of golf:

(image credit: Daryl Fox)

Phones are the easiest objects to hate

This is a classic that's very easy to do:


(image credit: Matt Reinbold)

Next most hateful object in the office is a computer keyboard, of course.
Here is how to make it a bit more interesting:


(image credit: Cris)

or let your favorite lizard loose over it:



Get some group exercise:



or suddenly decide to re-enact "The Shining":




Pranks are not limited to the office space, of course

Here is a wonderful, I would even say "glamorous" site for those who love pink and a "horrendous" site for all those who hate it.

Pink Prank Project documents the appearance of pink all over the guy's apartment, when he went to New York for a week.

Some office bathroom pranks:



Install this (very loud) device:





If your boss is kinda restless, give him this thing for a present. Or use it to help those whose cubicle is too far away from the bathroom (they'd thank you in case of emergency)




There is no point in pranks on a guy, whose office is INSIDE the bathroom:




(images credit: cubejinx)


Thus, getting rid of the cubicle angst by pulling a marvelous prank on your buddy, the whole office atmosphere will definitely improve:

The Happy Life at the Office!

Here is what happy office workers are capable of:
(watch this "music video" unravel)

Soon this unnatural joy will wear off, and it's back to business as usual:

Some very creative ideas for pranks.

The pictures with the post it notes and the endless piles of paper remind me of my cubicle. And no one even had to play a prank on me!

The mobile cubicle for your boss is a great idea.

However, if that idea proves inpractical, I have an alternative for dealing with your boss:

(1) Attach a small, inconspicuous electronic motor underneath his chair. Ensure that the device can be operated by remote control.

(2) Install a small strap belt onto the chair for safety reasons.

(3) Using a remote control, wheel your boss around the office anywhere you like.


Cheers

Andrew

Let you know how they turned out

  • "Note the Nazi Germany soldier sharing his experiences with Stalinist Army, widely practiced cooperation just before the onset of World War II."
    Actually - Russians and Nazis together started WWII by attacking Poland.

  • Yes, what's more, there is even a school of thought that maintains that Hitler attacked Russian in a preemptive effort not to be attacked himself by "world revolution"-crazed Stalin. See here

  • ,,By the way, on the bottom left is one of the Hitler's macho dreams - the Maus. This would give you some idea what unspeakable scale was projected for the Soviet "Bolshevik" tank from 1932.''

    Actually, it's the other way round: left-bottom corner silhouette depicts the Kollosalwagen, whereas the Maus can be seen on the right.

  • Rocket firing Sovjet tanks are not very special. After the experimental types ALL russian tanks sported 125 mm, or bigger, SMOOTH bore cannons that fired either fin stabilized grenades or sabots or guided rockets.
    The Germans had a siege tank, the Sturmtiger, that was armored with halve a foot of steel on the front, that drove up to a bunker and fired a 38 cm rocket, at point blank range in the bunker, penetrating 2.5 meters of reinforced concrete, destroying it.
    As for the Russian and German soldier shown together: the first pacts between Stalin and Hitler entailed a joined development of tanks and tank warfare strategies during which training bouts the germans actually kept up with the pace of the Allied tank armies, which had been forbidden by the treaty of Versailles.

  • With respect to the A7V, your joke about stormtroopers is unfortunate. It took me a while to figure out you meant the Star Wars Stormtroopers and not the WW1 Stosstruppen or the Nazi Sturmabteilung. You have to allow that some of your readers' references go back a little farther than the last 15 hours!

  • The Fahrpanzer or a close derivative appears on a book in my collection. "Permanent Fortification" by Lt Col G J Feibeger of West Point (1900),it appears to be a manual for West Point Cadets. Thank you for publishing the photos, it has assisted my efforts immesurably.

  • The oversize multi-turreted tanks are explicable; when the internal combustion engine was new, people envisaged "land ships"; terrestrial versions of Naval battleships. That there would be an upper practical weight of about 50 tonnes for tanks, was not obvious.

    See this prediction from 1900:
    "Huge forts on wheels will dash across open spaces at the speed of express trains of to-day. They will make what are now known as cavalry charges."

  • Survivorman is genuinely great, it feels and IS all real. Plus survival advices he gives are in fact quite clever and, uhm, helpful. Bear's are dumb, aimed to sound terrifying/disgusting, and sometimes even dangerous to your health (like the one about drinking pee).

  • Survivorman is much better ... he's got a safety crew somewhere but has to hump all his own camera gear on top of making it through.

  • Bear Grills would rip off survivor man's testicals, eat them raw and wash them down with his own pee.
