Several years ago, the office I worked in was decorating for Halloween. However, one of our co-workers wasn't there, so I took advantage of her absenteeism by taping a little black plastic spider to the voice piece part of her phone. The next day when she went to answer the phone for the first time, she screamed and fell over backwards in her chair! Of course, myself and the others in the office simply went on about our work! Poor thing! She didn't hurt herself, and laughed about it later in the day.
Another time, same office, which was a Manpower (temporary work) office. Our summer helper and the other three of us in the office were talking about some work related things (imagine that, talking about work related things at work!) and the phone rang. The summer helper answered, "Thank you for calling Wal-Mart!" and of course we all burst out laughing and she just looked at us with this "WHAT?" look on her face! She then realized what she had done and of course had trouble directing the call! After it was all over, she said, "I have no idea why I said that. I don't even need to go to Wal-Mart!" It was hysterical because she just said it as if she REALLY was answering the phone for Wal-Mart.
And one more.... sorry!
Years ago, I worked at the local Girl Scout summer camp between semesters at college. One summer, we decided that everytime another staff member had an evening off, we would "rearrange" their belongings! Staff members would come back to camp to find their car in the horse pasture (that one was for the camp director!), or their bunk, bedding and all on the roof of their unit shelter house, or their clothes would be found spread along a path to another unit! That was so much fun, trying to decide what to move each week! Sometimes staff members would refuse to take their alloted time off for fear of where they would find their things when the returned!
That's all I can remember now. Sorry this one is so long! Hope you enjoyed!
