I work in a cubicle farm and it's standard practice to decorate/prank a coworker's cubicle on their birthday. Problem is, with over 200 cubicles over 15 years, everything has seemingly been done.

Does anyone have some good suggestions? The criteria is that it's unique or unusual, doesn't involve permanent damage, is reasonable economic, can be reversed during the course of the day, can be accomplished in a few hours, and doesn't involve the IT guys (they're not very cooperative with this stuff ;) )

So, any good ideas?

Hey, you should lay down some carpet tack strips on the floor. The look on your coworkers' faces will be priceless when they step on them! :camera: 83

Turn everything in her cubicle upside down. Bonus points if you can get the desk on to the ceiling.

are they 4 pack? Are they bolted down? if not, given enough muscle you can rotate say 90 degrees. Can get very confusing :)

There is always the classic saran wrap around the cubicle and filling it with shredded paper :D

Take a picture of his cube, and take a picture of a cube beside it. And then swap everything putting everything in EXACTLY the same place as where it was, just in a different cube.

This could be a part of the prank (saw it in a Youtube video):
Replace all the Windows Sounds (Menu Popup, Menu Command, Maximize, Minimize, Welcome etc.) with porno sounds.

For instance,
Startup: Hmmm...does this pizza come with extra sausage?
Start Menu: HARDER!
Programs: HARDER!
Accessories: HARDER!
Notepad: OMG OMG OMG! YES!

Two problems with this though:
1. You can change system sounds without needing Admin rights, right?
2. Female co-worker+anything sexual = potential problems.

..wipe down the toilet seats with Tobasco. The ring of fire is always good for laughs. Office disruption guaranteed.

Attach some C4 to his desk, then rig the "delete" key on his keyboard to trigger it.

Stand back, and wait for him to "delete" himself.....

1. Fill the cubicle with bricks.

2. Close every walls and top with plywood

3. Throw a real big snake (non venomous though) or a rat or whatever 'alive' in his/her cubicle before e/she gets in and wait...
