The Joy Of Tech: Office Gags!And
Ian suggests that you make a game out of pulling off these office pranks to relieve the tedium of office life. Earn 15 points in one day, and you are a winner...or is that a weiner? A few of his suggestions:
To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace.
Walk sideways to the photocopier.
While riding an elevator, gasp dramatically every time the doors open.
Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask, “Did you get all that, don’t want to have to repeat it.”
Page yourself over the intercom (do not disguise your voice).
After every sentence, say ‘mon’ in a really bad Jamaican accent. As in, “The report’s on your desk, mon”. Keep this up for one hour.
At lunch time get down on your knees and announce “As God as my witness, I’ll never go hungry again.”
Hang a two-foot long piece of toilet roll from the back of your pants and act genuinely surprised when someone points it out.
In a colleagues diary, write in 10:00 am “See how I look in tights.”
Carry your keyboard over to your colleague and ask, “Ya wanna trade?”
