    Keep On Ringing
    If you know someone that uses a phone with a hook that presses down when the handset is in the craddle, then tape that part down. When the person tries to answer a call it will just keep on ringing and ringing.

    20+ cups on desk
    Fill about 20 or more paper cups up with water, place them next to each other on your victims desk. Then staple them all together, stand back and watch as he/she arrives at work and is clueeless about how to go about removing the cups off the desk.

    The Zoo called
    Call someone at the office while they are away and leave a message saying Mr. Lyon (or Mr. Behr) called and would appreciate a call back. Then leave the phone number for the local zoo on the answering machine for this person to call.

    Mouse Trap
    If you know someone that uses an optical mouse, place a small post it note over the eye of the mouse. When your victim tries to use their mouse it won't work. When they decide to look underneath it, they will see a small posted that reads, "April Fools"

    Ypto Ypto...errr!!! TYPO!
    Be carefull with this one, as to not ruin the keyboard. All you have to do is simply and very carefully remove a few keys and switch them around. If your victim is one of those "look up and down" typers. He or she will be very confused while trying to get work done.

    Where are those paperclips?
    Make a few copies of paperclips then put those copies back inside the paper tray. Whoever uses the copier next will get their copies with those paperclips on them and will look all over trying to hunt them down.

    Pick Up The Entire Phone
    Wrap a very small piece of wire around the phone cord so both ends are tied together. When the phone rings and your victim goes to pick up the receiver, he will up with the entire phone base with it.

    Confusing Drawers
    Before your co-worker arrives at the office remove his desk drawers and switch them around. He will definitely scratch his head over this one. Hint: In case you cannot remove the drawers, just remove the items and swap them

    Pen Swap
    Take all of your co-wrokers pens and replace them with your pens that your glued caps on to the night before. He will not be able to take the caps off to use the pens.

    Old Toy
    Use an old toy that has a button which is used to activate sound. Such as a baby crying. Then tape it to the back of the victims desk drawer, but don't close it completely, leave it open just a crack. When your victim decides to close it, he will hear the annoying sound and wonder where its coming from.

    Something is wrong with the copier!
    Leave a copier to print 99 copies at 33% resolution on 8x14 paper.

    Auto Correct
    Microsoft Word has a feature called 'Auto Correct'. It will auto correct any mispelling such as 'TEH' which will automatically be changed to 'THE'. Anyone can go into the tool and change the words. When your co-worker is away from his desk. Change a few of his common words around.

    Format C:
    While your co-worker next to you takes a little break, type "Format C:" on his computer screen. Then disconnect his keyboard and mouse. Sit back and wait til he returns.

    IT Prank
    Send out a memo to everyone explaining that all computers have been infected with the new 'Letter G Virus' and that everything is ok, but for the rest of today nobody can type the letter 'G' or else it will cause even more havoc on the company computer systems.

    Person Calls
    Send everyone an email memo about the new company policy. No more personal calls at the office and only schedules personal visits. Then give everyone their personal visit time slot. Exmaple: Barbara Smith, visting hours 10:57 AM to 11:01 AM

    Copier Paper Fun
    Type in giant bold letter "Copier Needs Service Soon" and make a few copies of the page. Then place the papers back inside the copier paper tray.
