a) years ago taped the receiver button down on an office phone, took them ages to understand why the phone was still ringing.
b) unfold a paper clip (or several) and inserted into colleagues cigarettes so as he smoked them the ash would not drop off even if he tried to flick it off.....
c) at our sisters wedding, all us brothers did the car up, except we did the fish near the heater set blowers to full while stuffing bags of confetti in the outlets and finally taped a stink bomb to the brake pedal so at full push it broke. [many years later while it was being rebuilt they actually found the fish  ]
d) at school during woodwork classes, went to the furthest side of classroom away from our bench and broke tear gas bombs; room was so big it took time for effect (but was so entertaining)
e) in one of the large datacentre we worked in, the phone system had a function where if you called a phone and it wasn't answered you entered a code and the next time that phone was used and put back down the system would ring you back as to say they are back in the office; then when you picked up your phone it then rang the original phone so you would catch the person you wanted.
well being a large data room (200m long) with phones next to every system console we programmed all 12 phones and when a new starter came in we would ring the first phone in the setup; sat back and watched as the mayhem ensued as phones started to ring and this one person running around like a headless chicken Experience is a difficult teacher, because she gives the test first and then the lesson afterwards!!!!

oh this is the best thread in the world,,, I LOVE IT 
there are some brilliant pranks on here, russel's stands out and npinks, your "friend" i gotta meet....
So my boss, to try and get revenge on me for his speeding ticket:
I was leaving the company to move to austria, my new boss was a supplier to the company i had been working for so he knew my old boss.
So, D (old boss) phones H (new boss) and explains the situation of the pranks and enlists him for a little help, so, on my last day at the company there is a little get together after lunch where you're given a present and the boss D says a few words, you know the score,,,
About 45 mins BEFORE this I get an email from H, saying that there had been a major re structure announced by the US office and that the job basicly did not exist anymore...... 
he also stated he'd phone D and talk to him to see about keeping my job etc etc..
Now, this would have been pure genius EXECPT, it actually happened for REAL 2 years earlier with exactly that same person H, but at that point i'd not resigned, but when it did he also phoned me at home and discussed it personaly,
SI when i saw it in an email I clicked on within about ohhhh 5 seconds and immediately plotted a revenge double cross.... 
so, i replied to H straight away saying as it'd happened before i wasn't surprised and that i'd actually sorted out an alternative with THE rival brand at the time, I did however think it was a little unprofessional to do it twice etc etc..
I hit send and print at the same time.... 
So for the next hour my mobile was ringing with H trying to get hold of me, while i sat outside smoking a roly r two....with the print out of the email in my pocket....
so my leaving speech thingy came up and i notice D is looking a bit pleased with himself,,,, not for long...
so D says his bit, that i'll be missed and was off to the big B etc etc... I stand up and say thanks to everyone but that actually there's been a change of plan,,,,, at this point D ducks into his office P  ssing himself laughing....
I explain the email and that i expected somehting to go wrong as it was too good to be true, and that i replied to it, i was a little to p'd top read it so asked D if he'd kindly read it to everyone for me,,,
well, his face was PRICELESS... i let him stew for a good minute, then said " if you want to get me, you need to do it properly...."
I let my new boss H stew for 2 days before i called him to let him know that he'd made a HUGE mistake trying to play a prank on me,,,, and that's when the fun REALLY started......
sorry for going on....  one wife.......livid

Sorry mate - dont remember that one
At work years ago my number was one digit out from Barclaycard card services - increased many peoples limits for them so they could make that special purchase
Taped many a phone button down
/ swapped PC keys over
At school really fancied this girl - so asked her out - to my delight she said yes - could I call for her on saturday afternoon.
Went to the address she gave me and spent about an hour in the company of a total nutter that lived about 4 doors away from girl

One place I worked, the manager was very insistent that the last cubicle in the gents was his and his alone. No-one else was to use it, and he'd get seriously out of his pram if anyone did.
After a particular severe b0ll0cking for something I hadn't a clue about let alone done, I emptied 'his' toilet paper dispenser, concertinered one sheet and selloptaped it to the dispenser window to make it look full. I then took out every sheet bar one that hung down underneath. Then I put cling film on the bowl, vaselined the seat and off for the night
Apparently you could hear him bellowing the length of the entire warehouse Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Transgenic tomato anyone?

One office I worked in had new fangled digital phones that would allow 5 way conference calls. You could even dial in 4 other parties and then hang up, leaving the remainder of the conference active.
I discovered that all the key presses needed to conference in 4 people could be stored on a speed-dial...pick up the phone, press the button and hang up. 4 other phones start ringing, people answer them "Hello, how can I help you?" "What do you mean, you called me" "No I didn't! "etc etc. Sometimes it'd get close to war Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

A few years ago, me and the missus lived on the side of a hill overlooking our hometown.
Directly at the bottom of the hill my mate lives and you could see him out in the yard pratting about doing something or other, so on regular occasions he would get a phone call, or about 5 or 6 actually. He would start walking into the house when I would put the phone down, sure enough, out he comes, ring him again, he goes back inside, I hang up, and so it went on, for 10 years.
To this day he doesn't know what was going on, but if he ever finds out !!!!

He is a joker himself mind, If you see him shopping in Tescos you would be better off letting him finish shopping before you do your own. Usual s t , get to the checkout and find f g allsorts in your trolly, ladies things, Tena pads for men and once a whole rack full of condoms hid underneath.
So he deserves everything he gets

A few years ago I removed one of those musical devices about the size of a £2 coin from a discarded Teddy Bear that played "Row Row Row your Boat" Tune. I wired the push contacts up so it was permently on and hooked it up to a couple of "C" sized Duracell’s instead of the little watch batteries fitted. On a previous visit to a mates house I had noticed he had a air vent in his bathroom through the cavity wall, so when we next went to his house for a beer or two I visited the bathroom and unscrewed the vent and dropped the musical device down the cavity wall.
You couldn't hear it normally until all was quiet and they were in bed at night. You could then apparently just hear it and it drove him and his wife almost insane for almost a week before it died!!... 8)
About 30 odd years ago as an Apprentice TV Engineer I got loads of pranks done to me by the other Engineers and one of these guys was a real mean bast**d. After an interesting day at Technical College one of the other Apprentices offered me a good prank to get my own back. It involved putting a 25v Capacitor in a Marvel Powdered Milk tin and connecting it to the 240v mains. Those much younger members may not know that Marvel milk tins had a press on lid. The prank was supposed to blow the lid off the tin causing the mean engineer to crap himself!
So the scene was set, I made the tea as usual in the morning and deliberately forgot to put sugar in the mean guy’s tea, as he went back to the sink area moaning I threw the main switch and the Capacitor exploded and blew the lid off the tin and revenge was mine……….well not quite!! I had decided that adding some flour into the tin would be a laugh covering him in it as the lid blew off. I didn’t realise flour thrown into the air would burn!! The resulting fireball burnt his eyebrows and eyelashes and frazzled the front of his hair…I legged it and locked myself in the storeroom for an hour until he had gone out on his calls………he never messed with me again though!!  ------------------------------

As you can imagine the offshore workplace is ripe for jokers ..........................
In the bad old days of 4 or even 6 man cabins we had a lad in with us on his first trip, we told him that you had to sleep with your lifejacket on and we all duly went to our bunks wearing the huge, solid old lifejackets. Once the bunk curtains were shut of course we removed our jackets but the youngster had a stiff neck for a week after sleeping with his on all night.
Another young lad had the need to use a piddle pak on the flight going out, this is a poly bag with a bit of dried up sponge inside to soak up the pee, once used the bag can be sealed but the young lad obviously did not know what to do with it. One of the guys sitting next to him told him to pass to the pilot who would chuck it out the window - imagine the pilot's reaction when he's tapped on the shoulder and handed a bag of pish
Many more - soemone should write a book!
