Pranks to pull at work (ones that won't get you into too much trouble)

I haven't done anything here other than bring Litterbox cake in and I think that's prank enough.

However, a few friends of mine have worked for Microsoft and some of the pranks they have pulled are hilarious.

Once while one guy was on vacation, they totally repainted his office and decorated it to look like the football team he hated the most. The rivals to his favorite team.

Another time and a different person, they filled his office full of packing peanuts all the way to the ceiling!

One of our on-going tricks, working at a chicken place, is hiding a rubber chicken on eachother. There's days where I find it in the soup pot (with no soup of course), in boxes of stuff that I need in the morning, etc..

My boss had my dad bring it home once and hid it in the shower for my mom in the morning. In return, my mom has his wife pack it in his suitecase when they went on vacation.

That chicken has traveled all around the country, every place in our store, and back!

I'm thinking of buying this for my boss for our Christmas party... our chicken needs a girlfriend!

My sister has pulled some classics over the years. When she was in high school she super-glued the school librarian's telephone and receiver together. It was one of those big, old-fashioned phones. Phone rang, and the poor librarian nearly knocked herself out.

Once sis somehow rigged a co-worker's computer so that when the co-worker tried to sign onto the Internet, her phone rang instead. The co-worker kept answering the phone, finding no one there, and couldn't figure out why she couldn't get online.
