everyone who was on the opening crew of this business (we started work at 6 am) met at 5:30 am in the parking lot and took turns calling the manager on our cell phones to call out for the day. she figured it out by the fourth call out in 10 minutes and by the background noise.

While "John" was out to lunch, "Mary" and I tied all of "John's" office furniture together so that he couldn't move his chair out from his desk, and we also taped all his desk drawers shut, so they couldn't be opened, and taped his phone handset to the base. Basicaly, nothing in his cubicle worked the way it was supposed to. It was April Fool's Day. He was a good sport about it.

This one was not that hilarious but creative. One of my co-workers had taken off to lunch and never locked his computer so the person next to him had full access. What he did was he took a screenshot of the desktop and saved it. He then hid all of the icons and made the desktop the screenshot he took. When my co-worker came back from lunch he tried to click on the icons but nothing would happen. He unplugged and plugged in his mouse and finally rebooted. Upon booting back up to the desktop he was disappointed to find that he still couldn't click open any of the icons. He was finally told so he could get back to work.
