The pranks listed below are based on true accounts of pranks/jokes/good times performed at my work that I either took part in or witnessed. These are the ones I feel are most recognizable.
- At every job I'm sure there are nicknames for people but at my job (I don't know how other jobs are) people are given nicknames for their appearance. An example is a person who slouches when they walk is Quasimodo (Hunchback of Notre Dame), Spot for bald people, and Shorty for short people.
- While someone is in the bathroom or in a different room, see if they left their car keys somewhere and move their car in a totally different spot than where they initially parked. (i.e. a different parking lot or on the side/behind the building)
- If a non-public restroom is at your work, wait for someone to go in there and barricade the door so they can't get out
- At a pizzeria. Place the pizza sauce on the underside of the ladle used to sauce the pizza and it will not be seen to the next victim, but they'll feel it.
- While my boss was just gazing out into space, I took handfuls of cornmeal and loaded his pocket with them and he never noticed until he needed to get out his keys. It took him a good 5 minutes to get it all out before yelled at me.
- Being picked up and placed rear end first and knees to my chest in a garbage can. It was a tall garbage can and I got stuck and could not get out. I attempted to rock until it fell over, which worked, until my coworkers saw me and decided to roll me around the store until I was too dizzy to talk.
- My boss parks his truck at work on Wednesdays while a friend picks him up to go out for the evening. I drove by one day and saw it there but did not see him. I went to the dollar store and got 100 yards of saran wrap and did his entire car. He didn't get back that night until almost 1 a.m.
- Inviting the boss to my graduation party and getting the gift entirely in pennies and was told to roll them all by hand.
- This happened to me and I made it worse by being curious. I was on the phone taking care of a customer when my boss took BBQ sauce and squirted it into my back pocket. I did not know what was going on until I stuck my hand in my pocket and it was covered in BBQ sauce and everyone had a good laugh at me. For the rest of the day I wore my regular apron as well as another apron on backward to cover the stain I had on my rear end.
- I said something to my boss and he took hilarious offense to it and proceeded to chase me with about 3 pounds of corn meal. He attempted to dump it on me but missed and it went all over the floor. He then told me to get a broom and sweep it up as payback. Stupid me turned my back and received a full shot of corn meal (same amount) all down my back and was then told he wasn't mad at me just as long as I cleaned it all up.
The above pranks like I said are all true and although I do not recommend them to be repeated, they are funny nonetheless.
