Smile Practical Jokes

Howdy y'all, I need some ideas for practical jokes. I am trying to get even with a co worker. All I have thought of is the zip tie around the driveshaft gag. Any ideas are welcome.

You could always tell vicious lies about him to the boss and get him fired. Maybe tell the boss he sexually harassed you.

We individually gift wrapped every single item in a co-workers office for April Fools Day this year. In the past for April Fools, we've stretch wrapped cars in the parking lot, wired horns to brake pedals, put live llamas in offices, converted offices into hotdog stands, sodded offices and turned them into miniture golf courses.... Oh yeah, the rest of the year we work!

I work in the IT department for an organization that does a lot of printing. Sevaral hundred print jobs per hour all over the house.
Anywhere from one sheet to dozens of sheets per print job. (So much for a "Paper-less environment).

As I am part of the team that handles the print queus for all these printer jobs, we thought it would be funny to divert these print jobs to the IP address of my managers local desk printer.
We quickly found out that an HP Laser jet really can print 30 sheets per minute!

We were able to double que the print jobs so the prints did indeed get to the correct printer.


We've also changed the IP routing of a small switched segment of our network and directed all TCP/IP traffic (for that segment) to my managers NIC.
Even at a 100 full duplex, a standard NIC just doesnt seem to work well as a router!


Another office prank we've pulled was to go into the control pannel of my manager PC (Remotely as an Admin user) and remapped his keyboard keys while he was at lunch.


We've also found in the registry setting on a WindowsXP machine where you can have a message pop up durring boot up. The message can say anything you want it too.
We hacked my managers PC so the next time he rebooted, he got the message:
"This will format Drive C: All data will be lost. Click OK to continue".
(By the way, there is only one thing to click, and thats the "Ok" button).

By the way, that manager just quit two weeks ago.



Geek practical jokes.

Rich.

Slip one of those anti- shoplifting strips into the lining of the victim's favorite jacket.
Even worse, cut out a silhouette of a gun from sheet metal and hide it in a piece of carry-on luggage

That will get you both a visit from a really friendly guy wearing a latex glove.

That's not an option. Can't get fired while workin for Uncle Sam. Besides he's a cool guy. Just want to get even. Maybe some sardines on his exhuast manifold?
