Our daily grind doesn't have to be such a grind. Sure we spend most of our waking weekday hours with people we never chose to spend all this time with, but it only takes one person to start a fun prank war. Co-workers who already have a long history of pranking one another can attest to the fun it brings to the office. Here are a few simple pranks to get you started if you want to add more fun to your workspace.
1. Hidden cat sound. We love this for the ease, the low price and the endless possibilities. Just activate, hide it and watch the results as co-workers try to figure out how a cat got into the building. This Amazon review from an office prankster explains the caveat of hiding it too well (LOL). You can also get a low battery smoke alarm sound, crickets, or a record-your-own custom annoying sound with our other devices.
2. Printed fake computer monitor sticker: Make an adhesive (easily removable) sticker you can place on a monitor that looks like a screen but shows the Windows blue screen of death, a software update page stuck at "Loading 7%", a broken screen, or a "you've been hacked" notification with a ransom message pointing to a phone number of your choice for extra fun. Print it at any copy shop on removable vinyl.
3. Fake poop in the bathroom or by the entrance. Fact: 100% of people think poop is gross. So leave some on the toilet seat or in a really public space. We prefer S#!t Just Got Real because the realistic mushy pieces let the prankster swoop in as the hero to pick it up. 100% of office mates will think it is gross.
4. Tin foil EVERYTHING in an office/cubicle.
This is probably the most time consuming and maybe most expensive without a Costco membership, but the images are priceless. And what better team building exercise for the pranksters?
5. Life-sized cutout or inflatable in the toilet stall. A life-sized cardboard cutout of the boss, sitting on the toilet, discovered by whoever opens the door next. If taking a proportionate photo and ordering a cutout is too daunting, a life-sized inflatable person (like Man Akin) is cheaper and can freak people out just as much when placed in a dark corner. The customization makes it so much funnier though.
Make sure you photograph and post your fun. Tag @FUNdeliveryUS on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok so we can laugh along and share your pranks.
