There’s nothing quite as satisfying as pulling off a prank on someone. When the plan goes through without a hitch, the satisfaction of successfully pranking someone always brings a smile to the face. If there’s one place that a smile is needed, it’s at the office. Sometime the hum drum atmosphere of the office needs to be broken; and a prank is a perfect way to accomplish that.

When pranking someone at the office, there are a few guidelines to follow. First, make sure you aren’t offending anyone with your prank. The objective is to alleviate tension in an office, and offending someone isn’t going to help. Also, be sure to keep it simple. More than likely, you’ll be under time constraints for executing a prank. The more simple you keep it, the more likely you are to see it pull through successfully.

Here are a few ideas to get you started…

1. The Phantom Keystroker is such an amazing device, and is one of the most simple pranks. It does cost money, but the outcome is so worth it. The device slides into an extra USB port on a computer. It’s unassuming, and can cause much frustration. The Phantom Keystroker will input random keystrokes at various times throughout the day. If you sit near the person you’re pranking, watch as they aimlessly try to fix the problem.

2. This next prank is credited to the show; The Office. I’ve seen this pulled off and it’s nothing short of amazing. You take your victim’s office supplies, and put them in the snack machine. It’s again a simple gag, with the hardest part finding a way inside the machine. You can befriend the person that stocks the machines, and have him let you put the supplies in. Or if you have a key to the machines, that works as well. Be sure to leave him a roll of quarters, or nickels as he shouldn’t have to pay his own money to get his stuff back.

Do you all have pranks that you’ve successfully pulled off in the past? If so please share them.
