I'm going to enter a help call in our help ticket system and forward it to the programmers, asking if they can reprogram the men's room toilets.

What do your coworkers do? If you're in customer service you can call up and pretend to be a rock-stupid customer :laugh:

printscreen the desktop... save the image as a jpeg... set that jpeg as the background... move all the desktop icons into a different folder so that there are NO icons on the desktop. Disable any thing else that appears on their desktop.

Just make sure there aren't dual start bars. That'd be pretty funny.

Pretend to have a heart attack. Have one of the co-workers ask you if he can have your stereo.

I have a lot of suggestions... depending on how severe you want to go.

If you have coworkers who hunt and peck for typing... pop off a few characters and reverse them. Nothing too obvious of course... just adjacent characters like z and x or perhaps move the - _ key next to the tilde and shift all the numbers over one space.

Change the default sounds on their computer.. Don't limit your choices to half second wav files... Something like orgasmic moaning, or some lengthy diatribe. Or, perhaps, some sort of sound that's difficult to locate. A long whoooooooooooooooosh sound that slowly, very slowly, builds to a crescendo after about 10 seconds. The more annoying or embarrassing the sound, the better.

Some things I've done or heard about: cut a piece of styrofoam the size of a sheet cake, frost it and leave it in the breakroom with a knife beside it (my parents did the same thing to me when I was little but used a block of wood.) Observe from a ways away, they'll start to cut, look puzzled, stop and hope nobody notices them. Dip cotton balls in chocolate and leave a box of them in breakroom. Gets caught in their teeth. Nasty.

Switch M and N, then await the new office nailing list.

Change their refresh rate to 60 Hz and then rename the C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DESK.CPL file. This disables the control panel for the display properties.

get your girlfriend knocked up, then take the pregnancy test to the house of a coworker and put it in his bathroom trash so that he thinks his girlfriend is preggo. hilarity ensues.

Put a cast on your arm just few days before April's Fool day and tell your co-workers you fell from the stairs and broke your arm. Once April's Fool day comes, you take your cast off and surprise them.

I did it once and most of my friends fell for it.
