Fun Office Pranks Anyone Can Pull Off

1.) Everyone Loves Balloons. Use your humor to blow these up on your lunch hour!

2.) Think twice before you pop one in your mouth. At least make them mint flavored.

When was the last time you had an oreo?

3.) In another food-related prank, share some tasty fresh donuts with your co-workers – wink!

4.) Part A: Awesome follow-up to your Mayonnaise prank

5.) Part B: The counter-Mayonnaise prank

Convince a friend to do that. THEN switch the pudding back to Mayo before they execute the prank.

Results: Hilarious!

6.) Render your co-workers mouse unusable (temporarily, of course)

This one is deviously simple and a classic. Just stick a little bit of tape over the laser on the bottom of the mouse, and it will stop working. Take out a stopwatch to time how long it takes them to turn it upside down – my guess, longer than you think!

Watch your colleague tear their hair out trying to type the words they want.
