In which you should pity my fellow office dwellers.

One of my cow-orkers, whom I always prank*, just put a huge handful of the circles that are made when you punch holes in pieces of paper in a nice pile in my work mail bin. We punch a lot of holes here.

I walked over to her desk and asked if she'd heard tonight's weather forecast. I proceeded to sprinkle all of the circles all over her desk.

Ctrl-print screen one co-worker's basic desktop
save the picture of the desktop as a jpg, hide all icons on desktop, make desktop background the picture of the desk to (after suitable cropping).

Voila - unable to use computer.

Yeah, that's been done around here in the past. Corporate has locked down everyone's PC desktop wallpaper now.

your story reminds me of all those small punch chads from the teletype machines of my military days long ago ... those things were fun to use to ambush people with their hats

Target one, acquired.

The one responsible for the original snow left her desk to cover the one I pranked. This is going to be hard to describe, but here goes:

We have these shelf units attached the the walls of our cube. Her's is right over her monitor. There is a light fixture under there.

I took a handful of those punchouts, folded a piece of red copy paper just so and wedged it to the underside of cow-orker 2's shelf with a large tab sticking down. And I run back to my cube just in time to hear her get back to her cube, sit down and start typing. A slight pause. And the sound of paper across metal. And then the sound of about two hundred little round pieces of paper falling on her desk.

"Ohhhhh. I didn't even think about it. I just reached up and pulled on it. I should have known better."

Hahahahah.

LOL Nice!

I also like to put them in the tissue that is sticking out of the kleenex box.

Yaknow, ...you should really be worried when all the folks you've pranked over the years get together to make you pay....

[thewhitedragon]

Trust me, many of them have. I take as well as I give. :)
