Pranks to play on people...
Not so long ago I worked for an insurance company that just happens to be in the news a lot of late. About fourteen of us were off in an office by ourselves. Our bosses spent a lot of time on the road. Which meant we got our work done, but we also enjoyed ourselves by playing practical jokes on each other.

We T.P.ed one girl's cubical when she was on the road. Although it wasn't an original thought, it was the moment that counted. My coworker pointed up as we tossed a roll from end to end of the girl's work space. Above us was a suspended ceiling. He climbed a side chair and pushed up two panels while I tossed the roll over. Every inch of her cubicle was covered. When our friend returned from her trip, she laughed appreciably before gathering up the toilet paper and disposing of it. She didn't climb the side chair like we did, and simply pulled on the streamer. It ripped where it was perferated and part of it remained scrunched between the ceiling tile and the brace. Forever after a hint of the toilet paper greated us when we entered the cubical. It was more noticeable because we knew it was there. She retaliated later when she hid our outerwear in a locked cabinet on a cold day.

An older clerk was fearful of all the 'new fangled' machines. She was convinced that the computers were giving out radiation and that she would eventually suffer the effects. The only way, she said, to disperse the radiation harmlessly into the air was to run water. She kept tall glasses of water on her desk and she left the sink on in the break room. She knocked over several glasses, spilled while traipsying back and forth with full glasses and turned the water so high in the breakroom, it splashed over the edge of the sink. After several of us slipped in the puddles she refused to wipe up, we complained to her manager who refused to talk to her about it.

We finally got our point across. My buddy who helped me T.P. the cubicle, (his idea), bought a bumper sticker which he pinned on the outside of his cubicle. It read 'Caution: Radiation Zone.' Although most of snickered over it, it still didn't elicit much of a response from management. Then one day the older lady took a day off, her first in two years. She had jury duty. The other supervisor and I helped ourselves to every spare cup and glass in the break room. When my buddy took lunch, we lined up the recepticles all over his desk and credenza, and even placed one in his open briefcase on the floor. Then we poured water into each, all the way up to the rim. We moved the radiation sign inside his walls and pinned it across from where he sat. He returned well after the manager who knew nothing about our joke. We feigned work, watched and listened. Our victim laughed outloud before touring the office to shake hands. "This is the best one yet," he said.

I'm sure the manager was afraid that the next joke would be wilder than this, and that it would eventually get to her manager. She agreed to speak to the older lady, but only if we ended the jokes. She got even with us in the end when she promoted the older lady to replace the other supervisor when that supervisor replaced me. We not only had to deal with learning new jobs, but we had to correct the older lady's mistakes as she taught her replacement the wrong way to do almost every task.
