7 wicked but incredibly funny pranks at work

I have a spare mouse at work. And somehow I hooked it up to the docking station of an annoying guy who works a couple of tables away from me. On days when he pisses me off too much, I take out this mouse and move it every few minutes. He still did not understand the reason, because the transmitter is connected to the docking station, and not directly to the computer, and has even changed the laptop. I sob quietly with laughter every time, and what an effort I should not do this more often so as not to give myself away! — doodlewacker

Over the course of two weeks, I gradually, day after day, moved my colleague's monitors closer to the front edge of the table. Millimeters by 5 at a time - until they got so close that the keyboard barely fit. In the end, she began to complain about how small the tables in the office are. Then, just as gradually, over several weeks, I pushed them back. She never noticed anything. — busted_up_chiffarobe

I used to work on a cruise ship. One day a passenger came up to me and asked if the crew stayed on board during the entire trip. I replied that we were flying to Miami for the night. She thanked me and I forgot about this story. Until at the end of the cruise, the manager started sharing passenger reviews with us. He was especially surprised by the only negative one: the woman complained that every night she was not allowed to sleep by the noise of the helicopter on which the team flew.

Fact 1: the crew does not leave the ship and lives on it while sailing.

Fact 2: our liner didn't even have a helipad.

Question: what the hell did she hear?

In the summer, I worked at my college's admissions office, registering freshmen and stuff like that. The professor and my curator asked me to recruit a class for the seminar - the main thing is that there are excellent students with good marks for the exam. And I typed. 15 female students, all named Sarah. — cryslea

The supervisor in our office is short, and his laptop is on a special table with wheels. For more than a year I very slowly and gradually made my legs higher and higher. As a result, he switched from a regular chair to a high chair with an adjustable height, then generally began to work while standing. Last week, he removed the wheels to make the table lower. He still doesn't know that the height of the table is adjustable. — rainbowdick1982

In our office, we have a tradition of playing pranks on those who take sick leave after drinking. For one colleague, we made the entire workplace plastic cups. Harmless, but it took a long time to clean them. To another we covered everything with cobwebs and made a bunch of paper spiders fall on his head when he pulled back the chair. I also suffered: everything is on my table wrapped in foil. In my defense, I will say that I refused to drink, and in the morning I woke up with a temperature and had to take sick leave. — -eDgAR-

I work in Chicago, and when I was on a business trip to Kansas, a colleague asked me to bring a local telephone directory. They were preparing for another colleague's bachelor party, who was famous for drinking incredible amounts at parties. Imagine this: he wakes up 5 hours before the wedding in a hotel room with a Kansas telephone directory on his bedside table. He calls the front desk, and the employee who was persuaded to participate in the draw replies, "Good morning and welcome to the Kansas City Holiday Inn." He was a couple of kilometers from the venue of the celebration, but he did not understand this immediately. — fredzout
