Yet, another co-worker has headed out to Georgia for a week of training and then a week of leave so you know what that means.

Time to screw with his cubicle.

I'm gonna put this on your shoulders, folks. I need some realistic ideas of what I can do to his cubicle. Here are some of the ideas that I had.

- Fill it with big plants so that it looks like a jungle.

- Shrink wrap everything.

- Cover everything with aluminum foil.

- Build a two-foot high platform and put everything on it.

Already done the balloon thing and I've already done the fish line thing, and I want this to be really great.

It'll take a lot of effort, engineering thought, nails, and carefully hidden duct tape, but you could turn his cubicle upside-down.

Or just move everything five inches to the left so as to imperceptably ruin everything he's used to.

Place fake fruit on his desk, so that when he comes back all hungry and tries to have a bite, he'll bite into wax.

Loosen every bolt and nut you come acrost where it barely holds - he'll have stuff falling apart on him for weeks. Wheels on the chair, legs on the desk...

Hide this somewhere in his cube...

Just put a sign in his cubicle that says "Pranked"

And that's all

He'll be worried for weeks he hasn't discovered it.

1. Lower or raise his chair (if it is adjustable) and then grease the levers.
2. Plug mouse into KB port and vice versa.
3. If you can get the IT department in on it, take a screenshot of his desktop and convert it to size large/small enough for a wallpaper image. Then replace his desktop with the passworded wallpaper that you just created.

Or wrap everything in newspaper.

I assume the baloon thing is similar to the packing peanut thing?Reverse the whole cube. Everything, inclusing the walls themselves. Would probably be easiest if there are some spare ones around, and then he wont have a door either. Or, any personal nicknacks or stuff like that, kidnap and ransom them with pictures via email. Theres little things, like zip tieing his phone cord together, like an inch from each end...

If he has an umbrella he leaves at work JIC, fill it with confetti from the hole punch and close it back up.

Or if you want something larger scale, you could cup his cube. Anyone whos lived in a dorm knows the prank. You put dixie cups filled halfway with water on the floor and staple them together. You have to do it far enough out that they cant jump it. You could do it to his cube, start at one end, and lay dixie cups (maybe in this case filled with glitter or hole punch confetti) on every surface all the way to the door. For added insult staple them together as you go so theres just massive raftes of cups.

And this looks like youd have enough time to do...

Do you watch The Office? Put his phone, stapler, anything that will fit in jello....

How do you remove the letters on the keyboard?

Send it to me for a week - I remove letters off most keyboards in that amount of time. I type a lot... what can I say? Paint thinner does a good job at it too.

Just pop the whole key out and swap them.

Ever see office space? Take his red Stapler

Duck Tape Everything. Super Glue everything. Fill his whole cubicle up with Pillows! Move his cubicle else where, Like the basement...or the bathroom. Fill the cubicle up with condoms....or dixie cups, or small candies...Or wrap his cublicle up like a present, but remove everything so all he has is a cubicle..

replace his monitor with one thats full of water and gold fish. pwned

Looks like someone else has done it.



Another thing you could do is label everything in his workspace with a post it note. Chair, desk, drawer, keyboard, monitor, folder, pen, pencil etc...

Use a splitter and some extension cable; connect his monitor to another computer.

Drawers in upside down.

While-you-were-outs with the call-back number as the local take-out.

Raise or Lower his chair as far as it can go.

If you have no private data on the computers, see if you can find the slowest machine in the office with the same case (so it doesn't look obvious), and swap him.

Rename the shared resources along a pattern your friend doesn't get.

Anything in 3-ringed binders, swap contents, or put entirely new and absurd items in them.

Remove all the lead from mechanical pencils, and ink cartridges from pens.

If your video drivers allow it, set screen rotation to 90 degrees.

Put stand-up figure in cubicle, address as though figure is the employee.

Stack of bogus catch-up faxes and memos.

Try and get some nasty crud to grow in his coffee mug.

superglue his phone to the cradle, call his number and watch and laugh

If you have a store room big enough, move everything out of the cube, and put in file cabinets, the office ficus, and the water cooler... his cube is now the break room.

I second the stapler jello mold.

Other assorted pranks:

Scotch tape over the ear holes on the phone.
Remove the mouse ball (if it has one) or tape over the photoreceptor

Remove the microphone from his phone.

Put tape over the bottom of his mouse (not clear tape...)
