Friday Afternoon Pranks
Posted by Megan Dorn under Random thoughts, Small Business
There are times when the office can get a little tense or stuffy, and sometimes people just need to lighten up a bit and have a little fun. Therefore sometimes team members need to take it upon themselves to initiate a little fun—especially on a Friday afternoon!
My suggestion—office pranks!
Gluing the boss’s hands to the keyboard probably isn’t the brightest of ideas, but that doesn’t mean harmless pranks can’t be done and create some fun. You just have to be careful of who you prank and how far you go. Here are some examples of some office-friendly pranks that can be funny and won’t likely ruffle too many feathers.
- Put tape over the mouse optics of a fellow team member’s mouse.
- Send flowers from one co-worker to another.
- Flip the left and right mouse button defaults of a fellow team member’s mouse.
- Play with the auto-correct on someone’s computer. Maybe configure the word “and” to change to “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere.”
- Swap the regular and decaf coffee.
- Staple your reports or other paper submissions in the wrong corner.
- Wrap all of the desk accessories in your coworker’s office in aluminum foil or wrapping paper.
Happy Friday! Have a great Labor Day weekend!
