I dont mess around with too many pranks as they can quickly get out of hand. Just got a phone call that got me thinking about good clean pranks, or pranks that got out of hand. Any stories?
A few years ago my old roommate had her netflix set up on my DVD player. Overall she was a good roommate, and still a great friend... Anyways, a few weeks after she moved out I got bored one night and clicked on every lesbian movie netflix had to offer. I just started them, then went on to the next, just enough so it would pop up on the recently watched list... Apparently it was her dads account and he called her the next day to tell her that he would still love her if she was gay. |

Ok I lolled.Â
Nothing really exciting here. I have some OCD coworkers that I have fun with moving or shifting one thing on their desk so it's not exactly there when they look for it. One guy was an ass, so his computer had all the icons hidden and his background turned into this:

From the days of DIY electronic kits such as Knightkit, Eico, and Heathkit: Put one extra small component in the parts bag. After the victim finished the kit, they'd go crazy trying to figure out what step they missed and where it was suppose to go.
Bonus points if it was the color TV or electronic organ. |
A gelatin capsule filled with food coloring then placed inside the shower head is fun, so is 5 boxes of clear gelatin dissolved in hot water and added to the toilet bowl to harden. That last one isn't so harmless though, cause it's got to come out through the bowl, it's not going down - along with whatever landed on top of it.

A prank that's fun to play is to take a zip tie and put it around someone's Driveline bullion cubes in the shower head is also always good for a laugh. |

I've used the emergency alert on my phone and got my wife. Ohh she was scared
When I used to work armored truck, when guys would guard the door I'd throw some of those firecrackers that you don't need to light from the roof. Good times, it also showed who the pussies were. |

I had a co-worker that was a douche.
We used the same computer, one time he left his email account open. I sent our boss his resignation, from his email account, included his reasoning of being attracted to male co-workers. Our boss knew it had to be me but sent an email back accepting the guy's resignation. The guy kept his job, we all knew it was a prank, but seventeen years later the story still gets told. |

done the marble in the hubcap.
lotion on the earpiece of a phone at work then calling the extension. moving keys on keyboards. had my wife call pretending to be the secretary of a higher ranking offsite manager,asking if so and so was their yet.much panic ensued. facility manager always made out Christmas cards,so a co-worker and I placed $100 bills in ours and pretended to open them in the break room - boss wasn't amused. we received a facility remodel/upgrade and I liked to hint the company was going to pay toilets. |

We had a commercial electrician that liked to keep his various EMT fittings in 5 gallon buckets. His utility trailed used to have a dozen or so. One full of 1" TAs, one full of couplings etc.
One day we flipped them upside down while they were full. He came down for lunch and went to move one and it obviously dumped out on the floor. They weighed enough that he couldn't slide anything under to flip em back over without evacuating the contents onto the floor. He was pissed. You could do that with legos or something. Shrink wrap stretched and heated perfectly across the top of the toilet is always hilarious. Scotchtape the handle on the sink sprayer down so it shoots you when you turn the water on. |

My friend put a candy bar in the showers at work. It pissed everyone off. There was a huge investigation to find out who shit in the floor. The shift janitor was infuriated and declared he wasn't cleaning it up even if he got fired. That was 27 years ago and those guys are still pissed. I think they were madder finding out it was a prank.
The same friend scattered Snap-n-pops on the dance floor in a nightclub one time. When one was stepped on it sounded like a fire cracker. Club owner and band leader was mad as hell. They stopped the music and turned the lights on and threatened whoever was throwing fire crackers with jail. The dumb asses never figured out what was happening. The same friend made a recording of his rooster crowing. He called the pet store to complain the Mina Bird he bought never learned to talk and only crowed like a chicken. He then played the recording for them and said he was bringing the bird back for a refund. The same friend got caught drunk driving and had to report to jail several weekends to serve time. One weekend he showed up with a Monopoly game "get out of jail free" card. The cops were not humored. |

Then set the background to the screen shot so it looked like they were all there. He had no clue what happened. And this was IT support

The zip tie on the driveline and screenshotting desktop / deleting shortcuts are good ones.
Also, this Chrome plugin adds a mustache to every picture in the browser. Mustache Plugin My favorite is affixing a canned air horn to the bottom of your coworkers chair and taping the elevation handle so when they sit down it goes off. |
| If your a mechanic and it's winter, remove valve stem core a put a good amount of water into tire and put back to normal. The customer will leave on a cold morning get a crazy vibration from ice in tire, but by the time they get to the garage it's melted and not vibrating. Will keep happening every cold morning. |

I had a coworker who sat in front of me and I could clearly see his screen most of the day. I connected a blue tooth mouse to his computer and had lots of fun when he wasn't looking at the screen. Stuff got opened, stuff got closed. Messages about him throwing a lunch pizza party were copied and pasted into his email and sent out. He thought he had some weird virus/malware and took his laptop to IT several times.
Someone kept using my hot sauce bottle (which was sitting on my desk) and leaving a runny mess on the side of the bottle/cap. I dont care if you bum some hot sauce, just don't make my bottle nasty all the time. So I added a bunch of Mad Dog 357. I figured out who it was pretty quick. Last but not least, a coworker put up a super cheesy dating profile with pictures of him shirtless on the beach and his douchey bio. A printed copy is still on the wall in the women's restroom, but nobody has told him for years. |

I downloaded a whole bunch of HRC, Michael Obama's high res pictures and set it up as my desktop screen saver. Unplugged keyboard and mouse of my coworker's, plugged the monitor into mine.
That dude is really lack of computer knowledge, we came back from lunch he's about to kill someone. "I unplugged the power cord and It still wouldn't stop" |

Lets see I have been involved in a few over the last 20 years in LE.
1) Found a HUGE Grasshopper and stapled it to a card in the LT's (who no one liked) Rolodex under "G." 2) black finger print powder in the defrost vent in a patrol car or two over the years. 3) Black fingerprint rolling ink (before we got the fancy machines) in the hat band of a Sgt's class A hat that he wore every day. 4) Scotch taped the sink hose sprayer so the next person that turned the sink on got sprayed. Unfortunately it was the Chief LMAOOOO. 5) Flash bang rigged up to the locker room shitter door. 6) Dead seagull over the sun vision of a patrol car to fall in unsuspecting next person to drive the car (should have kept it clean when I asked you too, dick lol). 7) Found the stash of citizen complaint packets that the supervisor passes out when a complaint comes in. Grabbed one, flipped to the fourth page (statement that the complaint writes out) and drew a big ol cock on it and then randomly shuffled the packet back into the pile. About three months later that one got used and it was HILARIOUS watching the Sgt try to explain it away to the complaint. 8) 2ft black dildo that was taken during a sex shop raid, "somehow" ended up in a co-workers lunch box and his wife found it when she went pack his lunch the next day. 9) put one of my crackhead informants in the backseat of our boss' UC ride. He got a block down the street before she said something and he about wrecked the car, lol. There are literally 100's more but those are some of the good ones. Hard to believe I made it 22 years so far and I'm a supervisor (I always check ANYTHING I hand out). J- |

Switched a co-workers 'v' and 'b' keys on the keyboard. His logged in contained a 'b' and he one finger types.
Hung a note, with a zip lock bag and a few pennies in it on the back of the bathroom stall door that said, "Hi my name is Todd ****** and I was molested by my uncle as a kid. I need therapy and dont have a lot of money, any amount you can give is appreciated." I think it ended up with about .21 cent in it before he found it. Put a sign on the back of co-workers boat that said "Honk if you are a proud gay man like me". He said he couldnt figure out why people were being so nice bc they kept honking and waving. Coworker cranked his car one morning when it was like 10* outside. Someone slipped out and put his AC on max cool. |
