Funny Office Pranks

There are many opportunities to pull office pranks on folks who take their surroundings for granted. I'm sure that there are plenty of these folks at work. Few people would expect to be seriously injured in an environment resembling padded cells.

When you're using these prank ideas, try not to be seen setting it up. Not being associated to the prank will be helpful if things goes awry and creates an angry mob or an angry boss. If it goes well and everyone's having fun, you can always step up to claim the credit.



Consider the timing of your setup as well. I don't think you'd want to get caught setting up a prank halfway, nor do you want to wait too long for your victim to fall into one. The hours before or after office hours are relatively safe times to set up your pranks. Lunchtimes can be safe too if most people leave the office then. Of course, be sure to look out for security cameras.

When you've picked your target(s), all that remains is the location and the ideas. You can more or less divide a typical workplace to these areas: The Cubicle, The Break Room, The Common Areas, and The Bathroom.
