Subject: April Fool's Pranks Posted by: barilko6 - [482372515] Fri, Apr 01, 2005, 08:29 Alright... I show up for work this morning, unlock my office, and it is completely filled with shredded paper. I can't even move. Being the lazy person I am, I am using a temp's office for now... So...this leads me to my question...I want payback! Is there some sort of program I can install on a computer to make it look like their hard drive is cleaned out? Or...What is your favorite all-time April Fool's Prank??? | |||||||

Pranks Galore! Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes of All Time I used to have a program that did a "fake hard drive wipe." Problem is you'd have to install it on their computer. Not sure if that is kosher at work. | ||||||

How about previous pranks? What is your best story? My girlfriend and I back in university managed to get an empty sheet of our rental company's letterhead. I typed out a eviction notice for 4 of my buddies, stating loud parties, illegal parking, and other various infractions, and informed them they had to be out by the end of the week. At the end of the letter we made up a name, and then left her work number for them to call for more information. After mailing the letter the day before, they got it April Fool's, and I got a call about an hour later from my buddy freaking out, not knowing where or what they were going to do, wondering if we had room for them to crash until they found a new place. They didn't even ever call the number. It was funny, at least to me and my girlfriend. One of the four guys however wouldn't talk to us for about a month afterwards... | ||||||

About 15 years ago, maybe more, I got a hold of our corporation's letterhead and typed up a phony memo about dress code violations (we were a suit and tie place back then), and a one-day's pay fine being assessed to everyone in the office, the proceeds would be donated to cloth the needy. I had the final paragraph of this memo actually read 'APRIL FOOLS' if you read vertically the first letter of each line. I did pass this by our 'big boss' before I did anything and he thought it was fun. He actually wanted to help and got his executive secretary in on the joke, and she actually handed it out this memo to everyone (VPs and all), and made them sign something official looking while she handed out this memo, that indicates that they received it. Needless to say, those who fell for it (including my manager) fell hard. One even submitted his resignation, before someone took a hi-lighter and showed him the April Fools I embedded in the document. Everyone was either laughing their butts off or pretty angry at me. It is at least 15 years later, and walking in this morning, I overheard at the coffee machine some of the newbies hearing the story from someone who was here back then. I will say that Corporate America is a different world now, at least in my company, and even though we are business casual now, I would not even think of attempting something like this again. | ||||||

You would think they would have figured out something was up after what they did to me...but it worked better than I could have ever imagined. Although i might have a fist sized bruise on my arm for a little bit... | ||||||

Last year we had some fun with a North Carolina fan. We took all the UNC stuff in his office, and replaced it with matching Duke stuff. The pad of paper, the bobblehead, the pen, the mousepad, a bunch of posters, replaced his Jordan card with a Laettner card. They took pictures of that but I can't find them. | ||||||
