Someone pranked my TSX

So I work with a bunch of pranksters right! Anyway, it started to get intense a few weeks ago when I walked in to my shop and found my tool cart had been stripped. They pulled my wheels off and it was sitting up on 4 garbage cans with all wy tools and drawers and everything just plain missing. They're just jealous that my tool cart is the most modified in the shop. It's riced out with all my mod stickers (Tein, Toyo Tires, Mr. Heeltoe auto, Champion spark plugs, etc). It also says "CJ's Super Street Tool Cart" on the side.

So after looking at it and laughing my a$$ off for a bit I plan my counter attack. Once my Super Street Tool Cart is back in order and the "Insurance claim" has givin me all my tools back I wait a few days. Then I find one of the guys throwing away his week old Cole Slaw and Clams lunch. So I take the "to go box" out of the garbage and quickly duct tape it under "Mr. Pranksters" desk. Once he started to complain about the smell I couldn't help laughing, which made him franticly investigate the situation. SO he finds it and gets a good laugh.

Well yesterday I drive a hour home from work and stop to eat at a resaraunt. When I leave the restaraunt I find this magnet on the back of my TSX.



After having a good laugh I said "oh hell no!" We are taking this thing to the next level now boys and girls!

He bought the magnet from http://www.prankplace.com/bumper.htm

At first I thought someone put a sticker on my car, but when I found out it was a magnet I knew exactly where it came from.

NO! I don't love gay porn. I have a moderately like it on Tuesdays. JK!

I guess I am not the first person he's done it to. This particular prank has been going on for about 8 months now. I think he pulled it on me for giving him his new nickname yesterday, "Pooh Bear". He likes it!

Alright... here are some instructions for building a desk turbine, if you have a drawer slightly deeper than a business card standing on its long edge.

Items needed:
1 rubber band
2 large paper clips
1 business card
Bunch of hole punches

1. Thread paper clips onto rubber band
2. Stretch paper clips and rubber band across the drawer and clip onto edge of the drawer.
3. Put business card in between the rubber band
4. Twist business card backwards to wind up the rubber band
5. Load bunch of hole punches into drawer and by the business card.
6. Close the drawer with business card under tension.
7. Wait for victim to open drawer.

No greater pleasure at work than seeing the carnage upon the turbine working.

***Note: test the turbine without the hole punches first to make sure the card spins freely and in the right direction to fling the hole punches.

I'm a fan of the tape over the mouse sensor, but it's pretty lame if only done by itself. Perhaps you can combine it with a desk turbine.

Not nearly as much fun and definitely a lot more work....

Take everything on the person's desk and invert it. Cuts, mouse under the mouse pad, calendars, name plates, chairs, garbage can, phone upside down... I mean EVERYTHING. You don't want to throw everything in there desk out.. that's just mean... but turning everything upside down... let's just say if you get everything, they will miss something and it will be a gentle reminder later.

I have another one that is very similar, but much more annoying. This is for the kind of phones that also have speaker phone on them...
Supplies needed:
VERY small amount of clear tape
Someone elses desk phone

1. Unplug the phone cord from the headset.
2. Take a small piece of clear tape and tape it over wires on that plug.
3. Insert the plug into the phone.

Now, most people don't answer using the speaker phone, so call that person's phone endlessly. They simply won't get it. Of course, if they do answer using the speaker phone, well, then this prank isn't as powerful.

My favorite is strategically placing a stainless steel spike right underneath the cloth of their desk chair. Once they sit down it either penetrates their ace hole...or stabs them right in the cheeks. Either way...worth a good laugh!

Try it out guys...Bosses love these

Ok, here's a great prank to pull on people who don't know their way around a computer terribly well.

What you need: a computer with Windows 98->XP. XP is best.

Step 1: Find a large picture on the internet of anything terrible that they won't want to see or would be embarassed of. Use your imagination.
Step 2: Set as the background (Large pictures or pictures on Stretch work best)
Step 3: Take a screenshot (press Print-Screen on your keyboard)
Step 4: Open up MSPaint, go to Edit->Paste. Then Save as a .bmp.
Step 5: Find the saved screenshot and set it as the computer background.
Step 6: Delete EVERYTHING on the desktop (if there are actual files, just move them somewhere else on the hard drive).
Step 7: If you have WinXP, press start and right-click on My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places and de-select Show on Desktop. (This will take them off the desktop)
Step 8: Hide the taskbar. Minimize it all the way down so you can't see it. Also, turn off Auto-Hide so it doesn't pop back up.

Now the computer should look like it did earlier when you took the initial screenshot, except nothing works (except for the Recycle Bin)
Let them struggle with it a bit until they figure it out or start crying

This was done to a friend of mine who took the computer home and forgot about it. His father turned on the computer and was freaked out by the large gay porn background and then his father proceeded to question his sexuality.

I had a pretty funny prank on me (now that I look back on it) when I was in college. One night, before a huge differential equations final, I was up studying at about 3 AM. Had a 6:30 AM final. Decided to get some sleep. I rested my eyes for about 30 minutes when I started to hear a faint but distinctly noticeable squealing sound (kind of like Freddy Krueger on a blackboard). I didn't pay attention to this (as there were all kinds of sounds in the early morning in the dorms) too much. I DID notice, however, that the sound got louder and louder, which was not a good sign. Then, the sound STOPPED right in front of my door. I noticed also that there was no more light coming from underneath my door. Bad sign. I checked the peephole. All I see is red. WTF? I open the door and there is a Coke machine in front of my dorm room door! Some friends had dragged in all the way down the hall and put it right in front of my door! Well, I couldn't move the damn thing, and had to get a UF football player to move it. Well I missed my final and had to grab the bastards (I knew them because they toilet-papered my room while my roomate and I were out) and take them to explain to my teacher that I missed the final because of them. My teacher almost pissed his pants he was laughing so hard!
