EricJ Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) ok, so while I was away on vacation, my office "friends" decided to have fun with my desk...so they did: so now one of them is heading on vacation in a few weeks...so I have to come up with something better in revenge, ideas? (preferably nothing that will get me fired) Edited April 30, 2008 by EricJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritual Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 ...ideas? (preferably nothing that will get me fired) What about something that gets the guy who's going on vacation fired? :noevil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinton Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 :rofl: Sorry, but that's really funny. No doubt a pain in the butt to get cleaned up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrivanek Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Collect newspapers from everyone you know for the next couple of weeks. Ball up individual sections and fill his cube (alternately, use packing peanuts). Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball up individual sections and fill his cube (alternately, use packing peanuts). Aaron I had thought about the newspaper idea...a little less poluting than an office worth of packing peanuts. The grass one is funny...just in that gray area of might get me fired. the strings were a nice touch, it looked even more densely packed than it shows in the photo, took me about 20-30 minutes to get to my computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 If you want to go for something more subtle, you could plant a Annoy-a-tron somewhere in his/her area and watch as they lose thier mind. :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrivanek Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 You could also cover their entire cube in Post-it-Notes. We screwed with people very badly in college - there's lots of ideas there, though most would bring you to the firing point. - Turn the cube into a strip club with a pole and an inflatable sheep - Turn it into a beach - put down a tarp and fill with sand and bring in a kiddy pool with water - Brick up the entrance. etc. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinning Buddha Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 ROFL that's hilarious! They used to wrap everything in saran wrap (cling film) when I worked for an engineering company... takes hours to get the damn stuff off :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 yeah, they did wrapping paper to me when I got engaged to celebrate: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bexley Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Is said coworker young? You could get a cheap cellphone, and give it one of those ringtones that is only audible to people under 30. Hide it in the cube, and call it frequently. Especially good if most other employees are older, as your coworker will be complaining of a ringing phone that nobody else can hear.

Rorik36 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I think the idea of filling the cube with newspaper is good. Not as messy as this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stubbdog Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 continuing the theme of filling up the area, you cold try things like: balloons, bouncy balls, unbuttered popcorn, etc... if you are not in the mood to fill things up, then depending on the type of stuff in their work area, you could go about turning everything upside down, backwards, or inside out depending... covering in post it notes is fairly decent, though time consuming. seran wrap is pretty good too. filling up a cube wth peanuts is hilarious but would probably actually be rather expensive on you.

supervike Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Sorry, but those type of office shenanigans are counter productive, juvenile, and potentially dangerous. (i wish i worked there!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderhawkerMinis Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Shorten the pump on his office chair. Don't just lower it, cut the base of the tube or just replace it. The put Vaseline on the adjustment lever and under ever "touch" surface in his area. Oh, and get that annoy-a-tron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 my favorite it so just superglue a quarter to the desk...because it isn't ever going to come up, but damnit, it's a quarter, so everyone is going to try. there was one table in my high school with a quarter superglued to it...and damned if it wasn't the most aggravating thing ever. yeah, I like balloons in the cube, that's a good one, and relatively fun as well (I don't want to get mean about it, we're all friends, and she's really nice!) I also loved it when you could change the motion of the mouse in older windows versions (haven't tried in vista), so that moving the mouse one way always produced the opposite movement for the pointer.

DrEvilmonki Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 On some computers if you press ctrl+alt+the down arrow it flips the screen upside down. Basically have to hang upside down to be able to read anything. ctrl+alt+up arrow puts it all back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrivanek Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Something else to do, if you can get to her desktop is to take a screen shot of the desktop then throw all her icons into a folder and set that screen shot as her background. It will look like her normal desktop but she won't be able to click anything except the folder you threw all the icons into. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
