Really? I've missed the function since I left high school. Couldn't do it at TAFE (xp) nor at my house or work (7)

I'm pretty sure it depends on the video card, not the OS.

I actually thought it was linked to Office, I remember not being able to do it unless we opened Word first.

The other one we did at high school was StickyKeys (Shiftx5) to piss off the teacher

Did this to my boss once when he was on holidays. He loved it.

Ok there probably isnt a forum to fit this but the Lifestyle is my only option.

Need some help with some office pranks, every friday is Prank day for me and boys in the office and this week i've been the victim of the pranks all week and need some good pranks to get revenge

Nothing crazy, just something we can all have a good laugh about.

Things we've done so far:-

1. Wrapped up a fello workers Car in Cling Wrap (and I mean wrapped it right up).
2. Created a website in tribute to our fellow Kiwi worker which involved lots of sheep and himself

3. filled up a wokers work space completely with shredded paper (this took a lot of time in collecting said paper, almost a year actually).
3. Tied a HDD under someones car so it dragged on the ground
4. lots of prank calls with sound boards
5. My cars been done with "Gay and Proud" Stickers which took me a day to notice

These are just some of the pranks but you get the general idea, its all in good fun.

So if you guys have a good prank I can play to get my revenge please post away .

A good one is to go one real estate.com and put a workmates down for hundreds and hundreds of houses. Is very funny when when the bloke can't realise how so many real estate agents have gotten hold of their number.

One fairly common one is if they leave their computer unattended, jump on their outlook and shoot some emails through to other colleagues. Possibilities are endless.

Then watch the replies flood through and their reaction.

The other night my dad was telling me that in the 90s he worked with a guy who often played pranks, so one day my dad set his screensaver as the BSOD. When he returned he freaked out and started unplugging/rebooting stuff before touching his mouse. My dad said what he'd done and the guy went absolutely mental and then walked out of the office for a few hours, then returned as if nothing had happened. I guess he could give but not take.

I like the "gay pride" sticket on mates cars the best. Would be a pisser

I worked with a guy who had a thing set up in a powerpoint presentation. If someone was away from their desk, he's take a screenshot of however they'd left their computer, put it as the first slide and run the powerpoint. When they get back, as soon as they click anywhere it goes to the next slide which was the blue screen of death, and then after a few seconds to an animation apparently showing all their files being deleted. Caused some good panic attacks among the less computer-savvy types.

Also worked somewhere once where we had communal computers on desks in the main office area, set up back to back. There was one guy who was the type that had to look at the keyboard the whole time while typing and wouldn't look up at the screen until he'd finished. One time we swapped the keyboards on the computers and while he was typing away on his keyboard I was sat opposite pretending to work on the other computer but actually typing on the keyboard that was attached to his. Took him a hell of a long time to work out what was going on. Once he'd seen that what was on the screen was nothing like what he'd typed he started watching the screen and testing the different keys which called for some expert timing on my part - which was what eventually caught us out.

We also once put a supervisor's surname in the autocorrect in Word to change to "Grumpy" every time he typed it. He got me to come and fix it for him, figuring I couldn't have been the one who did it as we shared the same surname.

I Edited my boss's outlook so that each time he typed his first name it auto corrected to penguin. He would recorrect it thinking the system was ****ed.
Each time it happened he used to complain out loud but no one said anything to keep the prank going. Lasted 3 months. he accepted that outlook would forever see him as penguin.
Was gold when he was in a hurry he would shoot off important emails forgetting outlook was ****ed and start abusing his screen afterwards. Got caught out when he googled the issue and found the matter listed under office pranks. We all copped a warning but he saw the funny side of it.

Working in a bar, I have seen people serve workmates that have knocked off or just friends the skunk beer from under the taps.

 

[Lord_Flashheart]

Sticky tape a piece of paper under the mouse when they are away from their desk. I had one of my work mates ringing IT and pulling his computer apart for half an hour before he found it.

Had a mate playing at collingwood and middle of preseason wouldn't get on the piss with us. So every time he went to the dunny we put a shot of vodka in his light beer. After 5 beers he says "I'm feeling a little pissed" we lost it. We then bought a slab and got shickered. Good times.

 

[Catsmaninamerica]

Had a small local pub in Brunswick we
Practically lived at thru UNi. Had a friend (female) call up and make a lunch reservation for the bistro (very small pub) for the "age good food guide" we then rocked in with home made name tags (written in biro) saying "catsmaninamerica-the age" and casually asked for our table (again no one EVEr reserved a tar at this pub)
Owner lost her shit. Her husband looked like he was gonna bawl. They'd spent 2 hours scrubbing the entire pub, and screaming at the chef.

 

[Catsmaninamerica]

When mobs phones became common I hacked my best mates voice mail and left a welcome that went along the lines of "hi. I can't answer the phone right now. I'm sucking cok." his UNi lecturer -ex afl captain-coach was not amused.

Also got the same mate... For a hold of
Some she male pics and posted to him with a note "why didn't you call" his mum opened his mail and was not impressed.

Finally set up a profile for another mate on gaymatchmaker.com was hilarious to watch him answer a million calls looking for "Toey little spoon"

Yeah, did this to a computer at my school.

Dunno about you guys, but if my mouse wasn't working one of the first things I'd do is look at the bottom of it.
