What's a fun office prank? Christmas themed if possible.
What's a fun office prank? Christmas themed if possible.
Boss is going away for a few days and we're trying to create a fun surprise for when she returns. Our offices are all shared so it has to be limited to a small area and can't impact other people toooo much.
My dad once brought home a coworkers desk drawer over the weekend and made lime jello.
On Monday morning he quietly reignited his old rumor that she kept jello in her desk.
In annoyed fury she flung open the drawer to reveal it completely filled with jello, one unpeeled banana in the middle.
That's great!!
Buy large bags of Christmas themed M&M's, Reese's Pieces, and Skittles. Mix them together in a single bowl. Don't tell anyone.
I don't think i can do that. I'm my office I'm the candy police - never mix chocolate and non chocolate.
It's the perfect crime, they'll never suspect it was you!
Well, you wanted a prank... 😆
Wrapping up their office?
We did that one year. Wrapped the directors office in tin foil. Some madlad even went and wrapped every pen and pencil in the draw separately then wrapped the damn draw.
This is the required dedication if you do this. If you don't wrap literally everything it's less effective.
Wrap everything in post it's. Everything.
This was my first thought. Foil comes to mind first, but if you want Christmas theme then use Christmas wrapping paper.
I think we've decided on wrapping paper. Also hiding plastic baby ducks in Santa hats randomly throughout the last few weeks of school.
Stapler in jello is so stupid anymore that it's circled back around to being hilarious

Like, she doesn't have a office with a door?
One year, we got a tank of compressed air and a bunch of balloons and stayed after work and literally filled his office with balloons. Floor to almost ceiling. Not only was it hilarious, but popping the balloons the next day was a lot of fun, and clean-up wasn't too hard. You absolutely need compressed air for this, and even then it took an hour or so to do.
These days, I guess it'd be seen as environmentally wasteful; balloons aren't recyclable, I think. Plus, it only works if she has dedicated office with a door. If it's still an "office" but shared with another person, you could still get their permission; maybe they'd agree to hotel in a conference room until the balloons are popped.
You can do it with dedicated cubes as well. Just requires some tape on the opening.
It's s room with about 10 people, each having two cubicle 'walls' of varying height. We could tie balloons to everything on her desk. Thanks!
Buy three non-venomous snakes from an exotic pet store. Paint their scales with labels #1, #3, and #4. Hide them in one of her desk drawers. After she overcomes the initial shock, she'll spend the rest of the day wondering where snake #2 disappeared to.
It's all fun and games until the snake shits on the TPS reports.
Yikes! I don't do s.n.a.k.es or clowns.
Wrap her keyboard, mouse, etc. up in gift wrap.
If you can access her computer, you could mess with the autocorrect settings and replace common phrases with Christmas carols. Like, change her name to 'Santa Claus'. Or change 'Kind regards' (or whatever she signs off emails with) to 'Jingle bells', etc.
Put up Halloween decorations and claim you got the date wrong.
That would be good, but we already have Halloween decor that we keep it all year.
Opaque tape on bottom of her mouse, where the laser is.
That's very sneaky. Saving that for later!
If they're not a touch Typer, switching the m and n keys is another subtle one.
Without detaching the pepsis from the band that allows them to be sold six per pack, empty them and fill them with coke, then say you bought a six pack of pepsi. Or do the reverse.
NSFW allowed?
No. It's a school, so it has to be family friendly.
A reindeer in office garb working at her desk on the computer maybe? With one hoof on a coffee mug stylized with a Christmas theme?
