OK, so I thought I would play a little email joke on our Human Resources manager, and in turn she got me back before I even knew if she'd been gotten. Needless to say, the practical joke war is now ON!!
So what can I do to her office that's funny, yet won't get me fired? It can't be anything that gets in the way of doing her job (like super-gluing her phone into the cradle or permanently locking her out of the office), or anything that is offensive to her or other co-workers.
And it needs to be simple. I have neither the time nor resources to cover the office with sticky notes or fill it with Styrofoam peanuts.

take a paper cup and put a little water in it, cover it with an index card and carefully turn it upside down and place it on her desk, pull out the card real easy, when she goes to throw the cup away the water will come out all over
call her phone and leave a message to return a call to mr. bear. leave the number to the local zoo.[;)][:D][:D][:D]
Set the screen shot as her background
Select "hide icons" and watch her try to open anything
Set the "language/charictor set" to something other than english, Manderan, russian, etc
it's too dangerous in todays work place, sure you may have done it once and got away with it, count your blessings
I like pepper spray. Put it where your mark will put his/her hands, such as on door or drawer handles. Once on the fingers, in no time your mark will transfer it to a more sensitive area.
I read something once about putting eye drops, Visine or Murine, in someone's drink. I forgot what it is supposed to do.
If you like your job you don't want to try that one! It'll make her have the runs baaaaaaad![}:)]

They changed the ingredients. Doesn't give you the runs any more. I know from experience.

...
A school teacher just about died here in CO when someone put visine in his coffee cup. Serious, lasting, internal injuries!
Bad idea!
+1 Bad idea. There was a CSI episode about someone who died of an allergic reaction from somebody putting Visine in their drink.
Just rearrange her HR manual pages so she can't find anything.
Make the letters big and don't hand write it (look's more official).
Make sure you put her name one there real big too.
And then just sit around wondering how's she going to get you back. You may wait for days or months. Maybe she'll put and ad on Craig's list in the Man seeking two men to make a funky love train or put real milk in your lactose free milk or both or maybe I'll do worst. You'll never know what I'm capable or Dad. I may post and in the local paper for a roll around Craftsman's tool box full of tools for 50 bucks call anytime or maybe I'll buy 12 tubes of crickets and let them loose in your house huh. Wish you never gave me a key now. Bet that letter joke don't seem so funny now. Does it dad.
It is a graphite "paste".
When put on the back of a door handle, or up inside a vehicle handle, the victim will try to wipe it off with a paper towel, but it just keeps spreading.
A baggie of shrimp hidden in a desk drawer would also be nice in a few days!
Hope you have a really good relationship,........HR folks are known to lack a "sense of humour".
Why are they called "practical jokes"? They are neither practical nor funny.
Take a screen shot of her computers desktop

Set the "language/charictor set" to something other than english, Manderan, russian, etc
That one is always a winner![:D]
We had the typical government-issue steel desks with a trough in the front of the skinny middle drawer. I used some large paperclips as anchors for some rubber bands. I made a four-vane 'paddle' out of punch cards (this was in the '80s), which I put in the middle. To prevent it from catching on the desk, I taped some punch cards to the underside of the top of the desk to that the paddle would slide out freely. I filled the middle compartment of the pencil trough with confetti (found in the bottom of a three-hole punch), would up the paddle, and slid the drawer shut.
Then I pulled the cord slightly from her phone's handset. [:D]
When she came back from lunch I called my coworker. She quickly figured out the hackneyed phone gag and plugged the cord in. 'Ha ha ha! You're going to have to try harder than that!' she said. To which I replied, 'Yeah, I guess you're right,' and hung up.
Then she opened her drawer.
The rattle of the rubber bands unwinding. Confetti flying out of the drawer. A scream.
Heh heh heh. [8D] [:D] [}:)]
inside the earpiece..
Maybe a fake mouse or snake in a drawer...? Or fake spyder that
falls/dangles in front of her face when she opens a door..?
Find out where she parks and run a wire from her horn to her brake lights. Everytime she hits the brake pedal her horn will go off. I've done this a couple of times.
This is simply the funniest thing you will ever see,.....I have done it before myself.
Bad thing is the guy we did it to almost had his * beat by some guy in front of him![:D]
Get a hole puncher and collect all the little dots of paper that are inside of them or just sit and punch a bunch yourself get at least a hundred of em' and hopefully she has an umbrella in her office or at the door and load that baby up secure the strap back on and when she goes to open it she'll be overwhelmed with lots of hole punch clippings. Done it plenty of times and it's just funny every time. It's even better when they put the umbrella down and get rain on em' and they stick like glue to their clothes.
I like this one the best so far.
Disassemble the mouse and hide the ball - it won't react to anything she does.
Or order a pizza for her... pay on delivery.

They're good as landmines, like under desks.
A couple of motionactivated singing snowmen and a couple of dancing/singing soundacticated santas will go nicely around someones telephone.
Get a two-gallon gas can and keep it in your car, full. When you have the opportunity, empty the can in her tank. Do this as often as possible. Wait a couple weeks and get her in a conversation about gas mileage. Make the conversation short and don't tip your hand. She should brag about her car's gas mileage being really great.
Now stop giving her the gas, wait two more weeks, and tell her what you did.
Another good one, in the days of four-legged wooden chairs, is to saw off about an inch of the front legs. She will soon have an irresistable urge to stand up.

Funny, but entirely unfeasible in today's market!

or, get her in a meeting after you've planted this around where she's going to sit,

Lot's of ideas over on their site!
I used to crack open the top on a can of sardines and put them in the back of a bottom desl drawer. Takes them a while to find them!
Get some big zip ties and strap several to her drive shaft.
===============================
K********,
This evening an employee brought to my attention that he was being discriminated against due to his minority status. On top of that, the discrimination was also resulting in a safety hazard. He has threatened to call the Corporate Hotline if the situation is not resolved immediately. The individual works in WOS, but wishes to remain nameless. Although I will respect his wishes, I will tell you that his name rhymes with "Ron L*******." I can't be any more specific about his identity, but his claim deals with the new insulated drink mugs we gave out.
The mugs are designed for use by right-handed people. "Ron" is left-handed, and therefore has to move the spout and cover of the mug 180 degrees around. This is cumbersome and a nuisance! On top of that, the spout (obviously designed by callous right-handed overlords) can still only be operated by the right hand in order to be opened and closed. Since the left-handed drinker would be holding the cup handle with his left hand to drink, he must use his only other hand to open the spout. This is where the safety problem occurs, as this now 2-handed operation makes it even more difficult for left-handed employees to drink, talk on their cell phone, and operate their equipment and/or drive forklifts all at the same time. It is obvious that Management is discriminating against left-handed employees, and hoping to catch them in a safety-related incident due to the mug's handicapping of left-handed individuals.
Being a fellow Lefty, I told "Ron" to shut up and get back to work.
======================================
And here was her response, which had me sweating bullets for a while:
Jon,
Please call me when you get an opportunity to discuss this further.
Thanks
=====================
Needless to say she finally let me off the hook with a "gotcha," but that response from her is the typical "You are in trouble" email.
Wednesday ---- send her a E mail and say like "I have this
really hot deal but you have to contact me today" ----
What ever story you dream up is up to you ---
When she get the e mail on Friday she will get in touch with
you and you tell her you sent her the e mail on Wednesday
and that you thought she was not interested be cause she did not contact you ---- It will drive her nuts and will wonder what is wrong with her computer --- Be sure to change the Date back ----
Lee
the best idea to tell her that you will get her back. then do nothing. it will drive her crazy wondering when it will happen
Yeah thats funny, when something strange happens to her she'll always blame you.[:D]
