Some from my last office in which three people held an escalating computer war (I just watched the mayhem). Various secretaries and others with password knowledge provided access:
1. Changing the error noise on Word to "Wrong again Laura."
2. Changing the screen saver to the blue screen of death.
3. Swapping the values of control x, control v, and control y.
4. Swapping the values shift and not shift.
5. Substituting various rude noises standard computer sounds.
6. Moving all of the files on C drive to D drive and replacing the C files with blank files bearing the same names as the old C files.
That last brought the whole prank thing to an abrupt halt as tech was not amused.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I've done quite a few of these office pranks over the years. My favorite prank though was against my wife. Put baking soda in the hair dryer. Hilarious when it happens but scary when she comes after me.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.

How much plastic wrap would shrink wrapping a whole car take?? :p
Not sure? I worked for a wholesale tile company that warehoused the tiles in house so she had access to the shrink wrap they used....
