Yeah, the opposite of this.
So here are a few that you can do right now, for fun, with minimal planning...
Mouse Mischief
I'm a huge fan of either A) removing the trackball from the mouse (which means you'll turn the plastic circle holding the trackball in remove it, and pull the ball out. Replace the circle, and hide the ball in the office, and play the "hot/cold" game. Or B) taping over the red light at the bottom of the mouse, rendering it useless. This is a little easier to undo (remove the tape). But it is funny.
The Phony Email
This is cruel and funny. When the person is away from their desk (and doesn't look their computer), you can jump on the email and fire something off. My favorites...
1) An insult to the boss.
2) A love letter to a co-worker.
3) Nonsense to the entire office (something like this: I would like everyone to know that I used to be a vampire, but I got cured of that with Wild Turkey.)
4) Set the out-of-office assistant to respond to every email with something like, "Hey, did you know today is my birthday?" This works whether or not it is actually somebody's birthday.
They used to be a what?!?!?!
Outlook/Part II
After you have decided to email the entire office that you've official given yourself a new nickname of "Anakin Dorktalker," you'll need revenge. And that is in the form of shutting your opponent's email. In Outlook go to the bottom right corner of the screen where it says, "Connected," then switch to "Work Offline." This causes the email to still look like it's working, but no emails are coming in or going out.
Startup Menu Madness
Go to the person's StartUp folder (usually C:\documents & settings\their username\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp) and start copying program icons and pasting them into the folder. This will create a short-cut to launch that program that you've pasted into the menu EVERY TIME THEY START THEIR COMPUTER. If you can load up their computer with every program you can think of (or every document you can find), they'll have an headache booting up their computer.
Re-route their printer
This is fun to do when you have someone that prints out a lot of personal stuff. Instead of the printer right next to their cube, send their printing to the printer across the office. Suddenly everyone will read their screenplay, find the recipe, or directions to the job interview.
Flip the Screen
I mentioned this in a previous post. But it's a fun one to do. Hold down CTRL+ALT+the down arrow, and your screen will turn upside down. CTRL+ALT and either right or left arrows flip the screen sideways. CTRL+ALT+the up arrow makes everything all better.
Enjoy!
