Office Pranks to kill the Boredom

A mate down unda sent his list of favorite things to do when he is bored at work.Here’s the challenge > Try and score more than 15 points before the end of the day !

One-Point Gags:

  • Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you.
  • In the middle of a meeting, suddenly shout out "Yahtzee!"
  • Leave your zipper open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, "Sorry, I really prefer it this way."
  • Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and say, "Just called to say I can't talk right now. Bye."
  • Run one lap around the office at top speed.
  • To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace.
  • Walk sideways to the photocopier.
  • When someone hands you a piece of paper, finger it, and whisper huskily, "Mmmmmmm, that feels soooooo good!"
  • While riding an elevator, gasp dramatically every time the doors open.

Three-Point Gags:

  • Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask, "Did you get all that, I don't want to have to repeat it."
  • Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle (there must be a 'non-player' within sight).
  • Page yourself over the intercom (do not disguise your voice).
  • Say to your boss, "I like your style" and shoot him with double-barreled fingers.
  • Shout random numbers while someone is counting.

Five-Point Gags:

  • 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.
  • Announce to everyone in a meeting that you "really have to go do number two."
  • At lunch time get down on your knees and announce "As God as my witness, I'll never go hungry again."
  • At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem (extra points if you actually launch into it yourself).
  • Carry your keyboard over to your colleague and ask, "Ya wanna trade?"
  • Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, "I can't talk about it."
  • Find the vacuum and start vacuuming around your desk.
  • For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as 'Bob'.
  • 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 colleague’s diary, write in 10:00 am "See how I look in tights."
  • In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up, damn it, all of you just shut up!"
  • Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person: "Do you hear that?" "What?" "Never mind, it's gone now"
  • Tuck one pant leg into your sock and when queried, answer, "Not now" and walk away.
  • Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.
  • While an office mate is out, move their chair into the elevator.
  • While talking to a colleague, pick your nose.
