    I just stepped away from my desk for 1/2 hr to grab some lunch.

    When I returned I found that 2 guys had sellotape'd everything to my desk; my packet of crisps, keyboard, mouse, phone, drink cup (with drink in), calculator, cardigan on my chair, everything!

    Thanks guys...

    some guys did better than that at my Uni!!!
    A bloke was drunk, so they emptied his room out while he was asleep and I mean every single thing down to the plants, table lights etc etc. They replaced each item with a full waste bin in his room and took all his stuff to another corridor 3 floors away!!!
    So he woke up in the morning with a room full of rubbish and no clothes!!!

    Here Foxy, borrow my shotgun...

    Point it like this, and the next thing you see will be a VERY large hole in something.......

    Watch it doesn't bruise your lovely shoulder, there. A 12 gauge will do that....

    best office practical joke I've seen is to fill your victim's umbrella with hole punchings, when they go outside and open the umbrella they get covered in hole punchings which then stick like anything because of the damp. They'll leave you alone after that. But then again, it could escalate...

    My favourite was to remove the microphone from the telephone handset, and leave a note for the person to call their partner. The partner would answer, but no matter how loud the person shouted they could not be heard. Funny thing was they would always call back a second time and the same thing would happen again. :D

    That's funny. We once went in to one of the guys we were living with's room at uni when he was passed out on the bed - removed him from the bed and proceeded to turn everything in the whole room upside down..bed, wardrobes, lamps, desk, chair, the lot. Put him back on the now upside down bed and left him to it..how he didn't wake up to our school-girl giggling I don't know!

    That escalated for a year afterwards!

    When I got back from EuroHoon the other month, the b@st@rds had very neatly wrapped everything in brown paper - chair, telephone, desk lamp, Mac, mouse, even pictures on the wall! Quite funny and only took a couple of minutes to undo.

    Another quite annoying trick is to fill the heater vents in their car with hole punchings and set the fan speed to highest. When they go to start their car, they are covered with the punchings and its a right sod to clean them all out :D

    Someone fed half eaten kebab and onions down the air intake of my friend's Ford Orion (1.6 Ghia no less) at uni. That was deeply unpleasant to drive in for some time!

    Foxy, while you think of something else to do, what is mildy irritating is to change the language on colleagues' mobiles to some obscure European dialect.

    Got another one from my old school, truly hideous!

    Two large fish, cut into minute pieces, distributed in every corner of the air conditioning system!
    Now that smelled nice for a month or two!

    It's ok - I think it's payback!

    One of the guys got an email with a picture of my dog on his desk the other day, and the other returned off holiday on Monday to find cress growing out his keyboard :D

    P.S I've lost my 355 count now :(

    In a colleagues MS word package, go in to tools>>autocorrect options and change certain words for alternative versions. For example change their name 'Joe Bloggs' to Joe 'I stink' Bloggs - every time they type their name it will automatically change it.

    I have had great fun changing all sorts of things - job titles, sign offs, company name, etc..quite often people don't notice and send emails/documents out which can be extreeeeeeemely funny!

    Blimey! Joke was nearly on me. I just thought I had better go and check my dictionary to make sure that I hadn't actually changed yours sincerely to the above, and I only bloody had!!

    I once got our credit controller in to a whole lot of 'Dear sir = Dear S*&thead' kind of trouble. Best bit is very few people know how to turn it off!
