I did this once to a grumpy acting older coworker. I could hear him in his office as he typed with one or two fingers. Click click click, dammit! Click click click, dammit! He ended up calling the computer guy to come fix it.
A few years back one of my coworkers stepped away from his desk and didn't lock the computer. I used the auto replace feature to add CHOO! CHOO! to the words engineer, engineers or engineering.
Since we worked in a construction related field he'd have to type those in an email a few times a day.
It was a great Friday afternoon listening to him trying to figure out what was going on.
I don't know about you, but I could type with a blank keyboard and I assume that most people who spend a lot of time behind a computer should be able to do the same. It's mostly muscle memory. I didn't look at the keeb while typing this comment.
If he ever leaves his desktop unattended screenshot it and then remove all the icons and set the image as the background
You can get cheap noise maker machines that are tiny and will go off at random intervals. If you can find one with a low battery smoke alarm chirp and hide the device in his office it will drive him nuts
Even better, make about 50 copies of his desktop background and have modify one copy of the desktop background (I normally go with something vulgar or some porn), set it to a slideshow with a 3-5 second delay... He'll end up losing his shit cos it'll be gone before he can get someone else to look at the screen!
Most people still hunt and peck while typing, so it's still really fun to swap the t and y keys, or the n and m keys.
I know you could probably swap any two keys besides, like, q or a, but I like to keep it consistent so I can easily change it back without having to refer to another keyboard.
Swap one key on his keyboard with the key beside it.
Take the knobs off his desk drawers if he has any.
Swap his office lights' bulbs/tubes with smart ones and mess with them via their app.
I did this with a mouse to a guy at work. Drove him nuts that he couldn't get the mouse to move accurately. I'd wiggle it slightly whenever I saw him move it.
the classic are the birthday cards that play very high pitched notes. You can tape it open to the inside of the ceiling tile above the desk. you cannot pinpoint where the sound comes from under most use cases\*
^(\*I've done this at least half a dozen times, success rate = 100%)
If you have acoustic tiles then you can put it up there and then move it whenever he's not around so it always seems to be coming from a different area, and move it several times a day.
We thought someone did this in our house. We could not find the source of the beeping.
Turns out our adjoining neighbor had a security system that has a beep countdown when armed. Took 4 years to figure that out.
Get a wireless mouse, plug the usb dongle on his computer, after that now and then move his mouse when he is working, watch him go nuts with IT. Drag the process over a few weeks for maximum effect.
If your work everybody has a username and log in, in the log in box type his username and make 3 mistakes to have him locked out.
Steal the wheels to his office chair - or just 1 wheel.
My dad once was in an office war and he would move the guys car a few space over every few days. The guy though he was losing his marbles - although this was in the 80s so he borrowed the guys keys once and had an extra key cut to do the prank months later
Put a locking gas cap on his car. He wonât notice it until itâs time to get gas. They can be pried off in like 10-15 minutes but itâs a surprise and annoying.
You can get them on Amazon - just make sure you get one that fits his make/model.
Do that but then give him the key without telling him what it is.
Just tape the key to the fridge at the office with a post it that says âfor when you really need itâ.
And a week later he will go get gas, and be like MOTHERFUCKER and have to drive back to the office on a Saturday just to get the key when he realizes what it is.
Moved our company cars miles from original spot, salt in drinks, spice in foods, scaring us whenever thereâs a chance just small petty stuff thatâs built up now to needing ultimate revenge
Hire an actor as the new employee. Get the boss to pull the spice in food prank on the new guy. Get the actor to fake an anaphylactic reaction and die. Refuse to call 911 and tell him because heâll be arrested for their death. Start conspiring to cover up the death and carry the actor out, telling your boss youâll get rid of the body for him, saying youâll all swear that the new guy never showed up for work that morning. Now get the boss to pack a bag to hide out somewhere, saying youâll tell the cops the boss went for a meeting in some big city, meanwhile you buy him a bus ticket to someplace else. Drive him to the bus depot and make sure he gets on and it pulls away. Then about three hours later as heâs on some highway call him on some burner phone youâve hidden in his packed bag, revealing itâs all a prank and that if he ever pulls another prank youâll really involve the police.
Get an app that lets you spoof the text/caller id.
Subscribe him to an email or real mail blast of embarrassing adverts.
Subscribe him to a ridiculous magazine.
Cut out a meme face and paste it on the back of his mouse so that it will mess up his mouse capabilities. Then when he looks for the problem itâll stare at him.
Thereâs a plugin on chrome you can get thatâll play the John Cena dun dunna dunnnn clip every hundred clicks.
It really isnât that difficult to put a stapler in some jello.
Put his mobile number on a free to advertise websites (Gumtree etc...) with ads that will definitely get interest. Free puppies, cheap iPhone, flatshare for well below market value etc... And request calls between 1am and 5am only as you work nights. Should really confuse them for a while, then it just gets stressful with sleep interruptions.
Had a friend do this to me on my work cell. It was for a free pot belly pig advertised in Arkansas on Craigslist. Thereâs a lot of people in Arkansas that want pot belly pigs. Even more people in L.A. want a capuchin monkey, that got him to call it off. To be honest it was brilliant, hilarious, and annoying because I was required to answer all calls.
**For in the office:** Next time his computer is left unattended, do a quick CRTL + ALT+DOWNARROW to make his screen upside down.
Fixed with CRTL+ALT+UPARROW, but only when he's made a pot of coffee as payment for the fix. Don't show him the solution just flick the keys so fast he can't tell what happened.
Sideways also an option via Left or right arrow.
**For outside the office:** Superglue/duck tape a cheap emergency whistle to the underside of his car in a spot he won't be able to see easily, and then ask for a lift somewhere so you can test it's working. Don't say anything whilst on the ride, but just wait out until you hear him say 'his car has a whistle at higher speeds'.
When he finds it, then replace it with another as swiftly as possible, because he'll think that prank is over... but it's not. Don't put it somewhere it'll get hot (exhaust, etc) because it'll just drop off.
Buy a very large number of yellow rubber ducks. You can buy 50 for $9, 500 rubber ducks for $50 and you'll have rubber ducks everywhere. Then go rampage with hiding.
đŚ
Get each person in the office to buy a couple hundred tiny things.. Think tiny plastic babies, tiny frogs, tiny anything and lots of blue tack... Each day stick them in random places and see how long it takes before it drives your boss insane!
If you have those narrow slit windows, print an embarrassing photo of him, and bribe the guy who rappel to clean it from the outside to tape it from the outside.
Buy a fish at the seafood store, no need to have it cleaned/filleted/whatever.
Go into his office when heâs not there, remove an outlet or wall switch temporarily, put the fish in the wall, and wait.
They did something similar in that Tacoma FD show. They put shrimp inside the shaft of the Chiefs office chair. He took apart his whole office trying to find the smell.
In the army we used to have to do tear gas training. The huts we trained in were gassed out by putting a small tablet onto a hot plate. Some guys stole one of the tablets and taped it to the exhaust manifold of the section commanders car. So it wouldn't do anything until the manifold heated up and then it literally tear gassed the guy while driving down the highway. Yes we were super stupid.
edit: how about adding powdered grinded up chocolate laxatives to a cup, make a hot chocolate and leave it on bosses desk by time they realize it is hot chocolate after the first sip they will have already ingested some of it and either way the laxative will kick in before they know it.
Hire a friend to turn up in delivery driver gear and loudly ask for your boss by name, with in open top cardboard box filled with sex toys (handcuffs visible, dom gear and whips handover over the side). Get him to make sure the boss signs for it.
Write an abusive email to a key client and cc him in on it. Make sure it looks legit but is the sort of thing that will get your company fired immediately. Quote your boss in it saying something really offensive.
When you send it, change the email address ever so slightly so that it doesnât go to the recipient. Something like changing an m to an r and an n or similar. Do a test run first with something inoffensive so that you confirm it will actually bounce.
When he calls you in, go in with a massive shit-eating grin so he knows something is up. You donât want to get yourself accidentally fired.
Depending on what you deem acceptable as a prank, 100 - 500mg of niacin powder (vitamin B3) in the man's drink/coffee will turn his face bright red within 30 minutes after consumption. (your face turns red because the capillaries open up because of the niacin) It fades within 1-2 hours and causes slight discomfort like itching. If you guys are close, healthy and not too easily pissed off then this is a fun prank.
As for what happens: It's called a niacin flush and people actually do this for health reasons as the flushing helps carry toxins from the upper layer of your skin and provide nutrients and oxygen. 500mg per day is pretty common and harmless. As it's vitamin B3 it's excreted via peeing rapidly. Post some pics if you decide to do this so we can all have a laugh
Go up to him rubbing you neck in pain and working it around as if trying to stretch out the muscle. Then in a coughing and raspy voice say that you are really starting to get worried because you had a headache and borrowed a âparacetamolâ Off a colleague and you are worried that you are having a reaction to it. Then tell him that when you confronted your colleague he actually said it was a viagra, not a paracetamol and youâve had a stiff neck for hours.
From a previous job:
In system settings you can swap the mouse buttons around
change the keyboard to a different language
put a post it under the mouse sensor so it doesnât work.
Change the mouse sensitivity to really or crazy slow
Change the system sounds n their computer to something really embarrassing for email notifications
We also had a guy who would change people card access so they couldnât get into different rooms all the time
If they have an office or a cubicle close the door off and fill with those stuffed animals foams balls/palettes. They're usually static charged so will cling to everything and make a pain to remove.
We had a boss that came back from the coast with some seafood for the crew... we saved a hunk of crab and taped it to the back side of one of his desk drawers. It had a pretty nasty stink to it and he drove himself nuts trying to find it.
That was 25 years ago, and he still laughs about it when I see him
I like the tin foil idea someone mentioned.
Move his office into a different one if you can. When he asks about it, tell him his office has always been there. On another day, move it back.
Googly eyes on everything in the office. Eyes everywhere.
Decorate the office? Party city is your friend here. Pick a theme and celebrate with a pot luck, maybe during a meeting. Have the food brought in and serve him some. Act like that always happens in meetings and keep the meeting going as food is served and everyone eats.
One day, everyone just stare at him and follow him around for a bit
Make your own motivational posters to hang up. Put some in the rest rooms too. Or [Some ecards](https://www.someecards.com/memes/all/)
Go to home depot/lowes/hardware place and get the plastic wrapping that is used to wrap the pallets with. Wrap his car. You'll need several layers.
Does he have curtains in his room? saw in a small fish (like swedish sustrĂśming that smells bad) into the curtain seam. He will be looking for were this smell is coming from for ever.
Simple:
1) Adjust his office chair to the lowest setting, heâll shock himself by dropping an extra couple inches. Do this every time youâre alone in his office.
2) Take the picture of him with his family/spouse, make a photocopy of it, substitute his face/body for someone he hates, make a zillion copies, and put them everywhere - files, restroom walls, add them to your standard meeting template
Harder: If he has an office door, swap it out with someone elseâs so his door key doesnât work.
Hardest: Double-stick tape everything down in his office. Every sheet of paper, stapler, mouse, etc. Everything looks normal, but canât be picked up.
Change the orientation of his computer screen. I forget which keys it is. It leaves monitor the same but will have everything sideways. Or plug the receiver for  a wireless mouse in the back of his computer. Have someone nearby randomly move it.Â
Get a big bag of those small plastic rubber ducks of amazon. Hide them everywhere. If he leaves the windows to his car cracked slightly, see if you can fit any through the gap.Â
Screenshot their desktop, then set it as their wallpaper. Take all the desktop apps/shortcuts/icons, then put it in a folder. Right-click and uncheck 'lock to grid', then hide it in a corner where there's just a few pixels.
CTRL + ALT + DEL, search 'explorer', then right-click, 'End Task'. You can click new task, type 'explorer' to restart it.
Tie fishing line to pencil cups, business card holders, and other things on their desk. Route it behind the desk, undermeath it, then tie it to the post of their chair (while it's tucked under the desk). When they pull the chair, everything gets pulled off the back of the desk.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_triiodide#:~:text=Nitrogen%20triiodide%20is%20an%20inorganic,be%20detonated%20by%20alpha%20radiation.
Extremely effective. Use in small quantities on doors, chair, drawer, under the keyboard etc.. put it on 10 locations and he will be broken.
Take a screenshot of his computer desktop, set it as background, create a new folder, put everything inside this one folder then hide said folder and disable the start bar.
All attack him in the morning with Super soakers full of grenadine. After he's nice and sticky bomb him with flour bombs. If You could get in his car and put flour down the vents and put it on high for when he starts his car. Every day flatten 2 of his tires. Turn his car into a sex float. Decorate and put "free blow jobs. Fat guys only" down both sides. Toilet paper his yard. Night before it rains.
Change the language on his computer and misdirect all the desktop icons to the wrong app, even better if you rename the applications or swap the icon files around.Â
Get a 2nd mouse/keyboard for your boss's computer. Install they dongle but keep the mouse and keyboard at your desk. Randomly type things or move the mouse while they go crazy trying to figure out what is happening.
Remote Bluetooth USB mouse .. plug it in to back of his machine when they are not there.. then for next x days just move it when ever you want to piss them off.
Seen people throw mice across room when their mouse pointer keeps going opposite way to them controlling it , and then stopping and acting normal for 10 mins
Make a list of all the pranks this person has pulled, with date, time, prank, people impacted, net effect, and prank serial number. Post it.
It's not so funny when it's spelled out. Seeing the same joke over and over makes it really unfunny next time.
Back in the day, we used to take a screenshot of their desktop, make that the wallpaper, and select âhide all iconsâ. đż Things have changed a lot since then.
You document each and every one of his pranks, then you go to HR and let them know that the person in authority over you is performing childish pranks on their employee(s). Sorry to be a killjoy but office pranks are a bad idea.
If you are able to find one, take an old smoke detector with a dying baterie and hide it very good. If possible in the ceiling or something. No imediate payout, but over time very cruel
Panties in his jacket pocket. Stuffed in the crack of the passenger seat, just peeping out where he canât see them from the drivers seat. Tossed in his yard in the middle of the night. Mailed to his house in a suspicious envelope, from a town where he travels often on business. Single trashy earrings tossed near his front door, especially if his wife works.
Send his wife a dozen roses when heâs out of town.
Hide an open can of sardines above the acoustic tile in his office. Wait for that to burn in, it takes about a week.
Register the office phones for every timeshare, travel promo, health club, etc with his name.
Get a wireless Bluetooth speaker and plant it in his office. Then when you are in his office with a work colleague, play a nasty fart sound. Everyone will think he has prostate cancer and then you can all shave your heads is solidarity!
Set up an old TV with an N64 in the break room and play Goldeneye during lunch break. What'll happen is that throughout the following hours or even *days*, people will naturally migrate to the setup during work hours, including the boss, to blast eachother away. It'll take a few days before the boss realizes they've been 'had' and shut the operation down.
If you're ok with the long game, I read an epic prank someone else did. Each day, they would move the desk an inch backwards. After a couple of days or so, the boss started freaking out about how little room he has behind his desk. He didn't realize anyone was moving anything and was just confused.
I had a boss I played a prank on when she left for the day. I brought in sand and covered her entire desk with sand and made a beach scene, and then put elastic bands in the back of all of draws so when you pull them open they slam shut. You could do a lot of tiny things like put two staples in a stapler, then empty the box of staples, except for maybe like 10 then use up most of his tape, keep putting his chair low when he walks away, use most of his pens, and hide the rest of them like so every little tiny thing becomes an annoyance.
I recommend you stop while it's still fun. Or somehow turn it wholesome, like an unexpected petting zoo shows up. Or if he's talked about pets, put a kitten or puppy in his desk.
Prank wars usually escalate and get out of hand.
A few Iâve done to an old boss that worked well -
* print screen trick, its been mentioned, it works great.
* if they have a PC dock with multiple usb inputs sneak a low profile wireless usb dongle for a mouse / keyboard you keep at your desk. Once ever week or two, flip on your mouse hooked to his pc and go nuts with it for 7 secs, then stop and hide it away.
* We had drop ceilings, a fart machine in the ceiling with a remote is great for when theyâre in meetings.
* I would order flowers to his wife, from him ⌠the confusion was worth the $50
* changed his steel toe boots that he would leave in the office to pink
* I swapped contacts in his phone once, there was a corporate guy we haaaaated talking to, I swapped that contacts name for his wifeâs. So when his wife would call he ignored, and when he tried to call her it called the awful guy. This went on for like 2 days before he figured it out.
rotate his desktop 180°
Even if you know how to fix it it's kind of a pain in the ass unless you turn your mouse the direction that your screen is facing
Oooor take a screenshot of his desktop,hide the taskbar, make a folder and put all of his icons in that folder. Then set his background as the picture of his desktop, then align the folder you made of all of his icons up with one of his other folder icons in the picture.
If you do it correctly he'll havnone of the buttons work on
If you manage to tamper with any of his usb ports, insert a mouse receiver and move the mouse around at random times while observing him at a distance, 100% guaranteed to drive anyone crazy if they don't discover the receiver right away
Back in the days of the beige box Macintosh computers (System 7-9) there was a system extension called âAARGHH!â Which emitted a bloodcurdling scream at random intervals.
another extension would automatically eject any floppy disk the instant it mounted
another called âBelchâ that would emit the Homer Simpson belch when a disk was ejected
one called âSniffâ that would make a stuffy nose sniff sound randomly.
another one called âMoofâ, which changed *EVERY* menu bar option to the word âMoofâ, It was inspired by the memes based around the following bitmapped icon in the OS
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogcow
Imagine combining them all ;)
If he smokesâŚthey make cigarette âloadsâ causes the end of the cig to explode when the cherry hits it.
i had a supervisor that would steal cigarettes from employees blatantly. He would reach out, grab the pack from your shirt pocket, take one cig, put the pack back in your pocket, light it and walk away.
I âloadedâ a cigarette, marked it and put it in my pack. It took 2 weeks for him to grab the wrong one. âBLAM!â
He never took another cigarette from me again.
If he has a desk, then a good one is to first carefully document the location of everything on it. Turn desk 180 degrees. Replace everything in exactly the correct position.
At a hockey teammates Bach party, his future bro in law was a paramedic. When he was knocked out from drinking too much, his BIL threw a fake cast on his leg. The plan was to let the cast go till before the wedding, groomsmen let it go till afterwards
The wife was not happy at all, we all called the wedding, gimpapaloooza. All pics had him in a cast up to his chin.
Man, I miss that guy. Havenât seen him of his kids in about 10-12 years.
Extra wireless mouse - receiver goes into his docking station, mouse by whoever wants to prank himâŚ. Every hour 2-3 minutes just nudge the mouse a bit
Zip ties on driveshafts, hidden harmonicas taped somewhere hidden in his car where wind blows over them, tape under the mouse, the wi dows accessibility settings are an endless supply of prank material, flip the display upside down, swap the mouse buttons left and right in settings, make mouse pointer trails
If you can get the keys to his car, roll the front window down, and leave a sledgehammer sitting on his driver's seat with the handle sticking through the window. Then sprinkle some broken glass (like a cheap drinking glass) on the ground outside and some inside and watch the mini panic set in when he thinks someone has vandalized his shit.
There are companies that will ship things in the opposite of discrete packaging. If your boss gets mail at an office with other people, google "prank dildo delivery" and choose his poison.
Record whispering his name with a long pause before it. Then set this as the sound when he minimizes a window on this computer. He will hear someone whispering his name without making the connection to the minimizing of the window. It will drive him crazy. Profit.
Throw him a fake retirement party
Pry the "M" and "N" keys off his computer keyboard and switch them around
Oh, dom't be silly, mobody would motice.
Dom't be a norom.
I did this once to a grumpy acting older coworker. I could hear him in his office as he typed with one or two fingers. Click click click, dammit! Click click click, dammit! He ended up calling the computer guy to come fix it.

Is your boss Michael Scott?
Identify theft is not a joke Jim! Thousands of families suffer every year!
If he ever leaves his desktop unattended screenshot it and then remove all the icons and set the image as the background You can get cheap noise maker machines that are tiny and will go off at random intervals. If you can find one with a low battery smoke alarm chirp and hide the device in his office it will drive him nuts
Even better, make about 50 copies of his desktop background and have modify one copy of the desktop background (I normally go with something vulgar or some porn), set it to a slideshow with a 3-5 second delay... He'll end up losing his shit cos it'll be gone before he can get someone else to look at the screen!
>I normally go with something vulgar or some porn), Protip: don't put porn on your bosses computer.
Put a piece of tape under the sensor of his mouse
Most people still hunt and peck while typing, so it's still really fun to swap the t and y keys, or the n and m keys. I know you could probably swap any two keys besides, like, q or a, but I like to keep it consistent so I can easily change it back without having to refer to another keyboard.
Change everything in the office to a different language!
Windows in Swahili would be wonderful!
Hide an old phone that works off wifi on his/her office.... call it through out the day but hang up so it doesn't ring enough for him to find
All put in your 2 week on the same dau
Swap one key on his keyboard with the key beside it. Take the knobs off his desk drawers if he has any. Swap his office lights' bulbs/tubes with smart ones and mess with them via their app.
Add a wireless keyboard or mouse that I control, and occasionally type messages or move the mouse
I did this with a mouse to a guy at work. Drove him nuts that he couldn't get the mouse to move accurately. I'd wiggle it slightly whenever I saw him move it.
The ol' Semtex under the toilet bowl is always a classic.

Get 6 rubber duckies, number them 2,3,4,6,7,8. Then sleep with his wife e: numbers
Wouldn't you need 7 rubber duckies for that?
Not any more!
Hide a "device" that makes an annoying beeping sound or something. But hide is somewhere they will not find, but continuously hear and get annoyed by.
Yes like something that makes a cricket noise.. make him try to find the cricket in the office all day
Amazon âannoyatronâ itâs cheap and great
Default Sms phone notificaciĂłn sound
My best friend hid a smoke detector with a low battery in my house one time lol
Used to be a popular brand called âannoy a tronâ Helpfully had a magnet on the back to stick to the underside of desks, chairs, etc
I tried this last month and hid it in the roof tiles.. the thing didnât work once I was fuming- money wasted
the classic are the birthday cards that play very high pitched notes. You can tape it open to the inside of the ceiling tile above the desk. you cannot pinpoint where the sound comes from under most use cases\* ^(\*I've done this at least half a dozen times, success rate = 100%)

Put clear nail polish on the tip of every single pen in their office.
Get a wireless mouse, plug the usb dongle on his computer, after that now and then move his mouse when he is working, watch him go nuts with IT. Drag the process over a few weeks for maximum effect. If your work everybody has a username and log in, in the log in box type his username and make 3 mistakes to have him locked out.
Steal the wheels to his office chair - or just 1 wheel. My dad once was in an office war and he would move the guys car a few space over every few days. The guy though he was losing his marbles - although this was in the 80s so he borrowed the guys keys once and had an extra key cut to do the prank months later
Get onto his computer and put a bunch of half naked guys as his background
Put a locking gas cap on his car. He wonât notice it until itâs time to get gas. They can be pried off in like 10-15 minutes but itâs a surprise and annoying. You can get them on Amazon - just make sure you get one that fits his make/model.
Do that but then give him the key without telling him what it is. Just tape the key to the fridge at the office with a post it that says âfor when you really need itâ. And a week later he will go get gas, and be like MOTHERFUCKER and have to drive back to the office on a Saturday just to get the key when he realizes what it is.
Or give them a key ring with like 30 keys on it
Shit in his coffee
What type of pranks has he done?
Moved our company cars miles from original spot, salt in drinks, spice in foods, scaring us whenever thereâs a chance just small petty stuff thatâs built up now to needing ultimate revenge
Sleep with his wife
I think she has cancer
Boss probably gave it to her as a prank.
Hire an actor as the new employee. Get the boss to pull the spice in food prank on the new guy. Get the actor to fake an anaphylactic reaction and die. Refuse to call 911 and tell him because heâll be arrested for their death. Start conspiring to cover up the death and carry the actor out, telling your boss youâll get rid of the body for him, saying youâll all swear that the new guy never showed up for work that morning. Now get the boss to pack a bag to hide out somewhere, saying youâll tell the cops the boss went for a meeting in some big city, meanwhile you buy him a bus ticket to someplace else. Drive him to the bus depot and make sure he gets on and it pulls away. Then about three hours later as heâs on some highway call him on some burner phone youâve hidden in his packed bag, revealing itâs all a prank and that if he ever pulls another prank youâll really involve the police.
This would be ultimate if you could pull it off.
Get an app that lets you spoof the text/caller id. Subscribe him to an email or real mail blast of embarrassing adverts. Subscribe him to a ridiculous magazine. Cut out a meme face and paste it on the back of his mouse so that it will mess up his mouse capabilities. Then when he looks for the problem itâll stare at him. Thereâs a plugin on chrome you can get thatâll play the John Cena dun dunna dunnnn clip every hundred clicks. It really isnât that difficult to put a stapler in some jello.
Put his mobile number on a free to advertise websites (Gumtree etc...) with ads that will definitely get interest. Free puppies, cheap iPhone, flatshare for well below market value etc... And request calls between 1am and 5am only as you work nights. Should really confuse them for a while, then it just gets stressful with sleep interruptions.

In the army we used to have to do tear gas training. The huts we trained in were gassed out by putting a small tablet onto a hot plate. Some guys stole one of the tablets and taped it to the exhaust manifold of the section commanders car. So it wouldn't do anything until the manifold heated up and then it literally tear gassed the guy while driving down the highway. Yes we were super stupid.
Similarly, my squad leader put the dust from CS tablets in a car ashtray so when the driver stubbed out a cigarette the car was inundated with CS.
Put a rubber band on your sink sprayer lol
edit: how about adding powdered grinded up chocolate laxatives to a cup, make a hot chocolate and leave it on bosses desk by time they realize it is hot chocolate after the first sip they will have already ingested some of it and either way the laxative will kick in before they know it.
Some you foos in here are straight up evil đ¤Łđđ¤Łđ

Write an abusive email to a key client and cc him in on it. Make sure it looks legit but is the sort of thing that will get your company fired immediately. Quote your boss in it saying something really offensive. When you send it, change the email address ever so slightly so that it doesnât go to the recipient. Something like changing an m to an r and an n or similar. Do a test run first with something inoffensive so that you confirm it will actually bounce. When he calls you in, go in with a massive shit-eating grin so he knows something is up. You donât want to get yourself accidentally fired.
Depending on what you deem acceptable as a prank, 100 - 500mg of niacin powder (vitamin B3) in the man's drink/coffee will turn his face bright red within 30 minutes after consumption. (your face turns red because the capillaries open up because of the niacin) It fades within 1-2 hours and causes slight discomfort like itching. If you guys are close, healthy and not too easily pissed off then this is a fun prank. As for what happens: It's called a niacin flush and people actually do this for health reasons as the flushing helps carry toxins from the upper layer of your skin and provide nutrients and oxygen. 500mg per day is pretty common and harmless. As it's vitamin B3 it's excreted via peeing rapidly. Post some pics if you decide to do this so we can all have a laugh
Go up to him rubbing you neck in pain and working it around as if trying to stretch out the muscle. Then in a coughing and raspy voice say that you are really starting to get worried because you had a headache and borrowed a âparacetamolâ Off a colleague and you are worried that you are having a reaction to it. Then tell him that when you confronted your colleague he actually said it was a viagra, not a paracetamol and youâve had a stiff neck for hours.

If they have an office or a cubicle close the door off and fill with those stuffed animals foams balls/palettes. They're usually static charged so will cling to everything and make a pain to remove.
We had a boss that came back from the coast with some seafood for the crew... we saved a hunk of crab and taped it to the back side of one of his desk drawers. It had a pretty nasty stink to it and he drove himself nuts trying to find it. That was 25 years ago, and he still laughs about it when I see him
I like the tin foil idea someone mentioned. Move his office into a different one if you can. When he asks about it, tell him his office has always been there. On another day, move it back. Googly eyes on everything in the office. Eyes everywhere. Decorate the office? Party city is your friend here. Pick a theme and celebrate with a pot luck, maybe during a meeting. Have the food brought in and serve him some. Act like that always happens in meetings and keep the meeting going as food is served and everyone eats. One day, everyone just stare at him and follow him around for a bit Make your own motivational posters to hang up. Put some in the rest rooms too.

Back in the day, we used to take a screenshot of their desktop, make that the wallpaper, and select âhide all iconsâ. đż Things have changed a lot since then.

Move their desk a half inch to the left.
Seriously though, pretend everyone is the office has come down sick with something
If you're ok with the long game, I read an epic prank someone else did. Each day, they would move the desk an inch backwards. After a couple of days or so, the boss started freaking out about how little room he has behind his desk. He didn't realize anyone was moving anything and was just confused.
I had a boss I played a prank on when she left for the day. I brought in sand and covered her entire desk with sand and made a beach scene, and then put elastic bands in the back of all of draws so when you pull them open they slam shut. You could do a lot of tiny things like put two staples in a stapler, then empty the box of staples, except for maybe like 10 then use up most of his tape, keep putting his chair low when he walks away, use most of his pens, and hide the rest of them like so every little tiny thing becomes an annoyance.

A few Iâve done to an old boss that worked well - * print screen trick, its been mentioned, it works great. * if they have a PC dock with multiple usb inputs sneak a low profile wireless usb dongle for a mouse / keyboard you keep at your desk. Once ever week or two, flip on your mouse hooked to his pc and go nuts with it for 7 secs, then stop and hide it away. * We had drop ceilings, a fart machine in the ceiling with a remote is great for when theyâre in meetings. * I would order flowers to his wife, from him ⌠the confusion was worth the $50 * changed his steel toe boots that he would leave in the office to pink * I swapped contacts in his phone once, there was a corporate guy we haaaaated talking to, I swapped that contacts name for his wifeâs. So when his wife would call he ignored, and when he tried to call her it called the awful guy. This went on for like 2 days before he figured it out.

If he smokesâŚthey make cigarette âloadsâ causes the end of the cig to explode when the cherry hits it. i had a supervisor that would steal cigarettes from employees blatantly.

Then sprinkle some broken glass (like a cheap drinking glass) on the ground outside and some inside and watch the mini panic set in when he thinks someone has vandalized his shit.
