Don’t be a fool: some classics

March 31, 2008 – 10:59 pm

You don’t have to search very far to find all kinds of office pranks on the internet, from people filling whole rooms to the ceiling with styrofoam peanuts to all kinds of craziness, but I thought I would share a few of the standards.

One of the best was a joke a few years back that was played on a co-worker, whereby he thought he won tickets to the final four, complete with a contest website with a domain registered to what appeared to be a legit organization, email and a notification phone call from the prize fulfillment organization. Nicely done indeed.

  3. The sticky notes on the car is pretty creative. I always liked the plastic wrap all over the target’s vehicle–especially if you get the industrial wrap that they use to wrap shipping pallets.
