- mBrutis, on 03/20/2008, -0/+106Worthless without video of the poor sap trying to remove them.
- caffiend, on 03/20/2008, -2/+99That's waaaaay too much trouble just to get my ass fired.
- RugbyAnderson, on 03/20/2008, -3/+96This is what happens when college kids grow up and go into the office world.
- TheSum, on 03/20/2008, -5/+86No no. this is The UNIVERSE's Best Office prank EVER.
/absolute and total ***** sarcasm because I am sick and tired of this World's Best ***** - Narcism, on 03/20/2008, -0/+60I've seen a world's best office prank once a week now for the past month. Fortunately, they were all different.
- harvested, on 03/20/2008, -0/+56No video? Lame.
- inactive, on 03/20/2008, -1/+46The study of awesome.
- inactive, on 03/20/2008, -3/+47A straw could solve this problem.
- AndreiOttawa, on 03/20/2008, -1/+44I think a possible response to this prank would be a punch in the face once the day is over. And, possibly, all four tires slashed.

First buy lots of paper cups (it’s important to get paper, not plastic or foam, you’ll see why in a minute).
And I mean lots. Dozens and dozens.
Arrange them over every possible inch of space on the victim’s desk.
Then staple them all together as close to the rim as you can, each cup to the ones on each side, so they are all attached. (This is why you need paper cups, foam or plastic split or disintegrate.) Wherever one cup touches another at the rim, staple.
Next, fill each cup as full as you can possible get it - surface tension full - with water.
Finally, retire to a safe distance, wait, watch and enjoy." - leethemanpowell, on 03/20/2008, -0/+40If I saw that on my desk I would never suspect anything suspicious...
- litolist, on 03/20/2008, -1/+27What did you expect from a site called "awesomeology"?
- bossm4n, on 03/20/2008, -0/+25Why not just run a fire hose in the guys office and turn it on. That's just about as inconspicuous.
- LogicBomB, on 03/20/2008, -0/+24Easiest prank that fools 99% of people is to simply right click their desktop, go to "arrange icons", and uncheck "show desktop icons".
If you want to take it a step further, screenshot their desktop, save it and make it the desktop background. THEN hide icons and the start menu. I bet even tech support at most places would get frustrated. Feel free to laugh at them and then fix it in less than 30 seconds. - zebraz, on 03/20/2008, -0/+23I would pretend to try and pick them all up then spill it all over the keyboard and computer.
And if I didn't get a nasty shock I would pretend to.
Then I would call an ambulance.
Once the medics arrived and found what happened this would escalate to the police becoming involved and creating a huge scene.
The person/s responsible would quickly get outed and be in big trouble.
I meanwhile would get to take a paid week off as I "recover".
I would be laughing my ass off the whole week.
The prankster will be spending the week looking for new employment. - WarMachineWCLH, on 03/20/2008, -1/+23 I thought of that too and then I found a solution. Fill random cups with a bit of vodka. Then you also have durnk office co-worker.
- blindmonkey, on 03/20/2008, -3/+21I don't understand why everyone's digging you down. Usually, when everyone's whining that the site is down, people with posts like yours get dugg up.
Oh well. - Fubeman, on 03/20/2008, -0/+15If you live in one of the "freezing cold" states during wintertime (Minnesota, North Dakota, Michigan, etc.) try this.
If someone steals your space on the street in front of your house (as it happened to me), there is payback.
(1) In the middle of the night, make a ditch or a hole with snow surrounding all four wheels all the way to the top of the tire and make sure the snow is packed tight around the edges. Leave about 6-8 inches between the tires and the snow. What you should end up with is each tire surrounded by a wall of snow. This works best when you have had a heavy snowfall of at least 6 inches and there still is a lot of snow on the ground.
(2) Fill all these "crevices" with water. This works best when you have nightly temperatures of around 15 degrees or less.
(3) Wake up in the morning to find your victim trying to move his vehicle out of this prison of ice.
Have had to resort to this method once in Chicago when someone stole my street spot from me after this idiot watched me shoveling snow for over an hour to get it cleared. 20 minutes later before I could get my car in the spot, he stole it. But the payback was beautiful! - bigredgpk, on 03/20/2008, -2/+17I need to see a video of this guys reaction
- inigomntoya, on 03/20/2008, -1/+15I would hope you are using the term "grow up" loosely...
- logic6, on 03/20/2008, -0/+132 pounds of powdered gelatin and a day off would solve the problem.
- inactive, on 03/20/2008, -4/+17Big and obvious = bad prank.
This compared to the cubicle fortress or the drywalled office door... Poo. - brook011, on 03/20/2008, -2/+14Michael Scott would be proud.
- zebraz, on 03/20/2008, -0/+11That was his prank.
This is mine. - moofer, on 03/20/2008, -1/+12A shop vac would actually solve this problem.
- screensnot, on 03/20/2008, -0/+10Wouldn't the water slowly leak at all the staples?
- ghunt, on 03/20/2008, -0/+9a punch in the face fixes the problem also.
- lamiaconfitor, on 03/20/2008, -0/+9stapler in Jell-o is still better.
- DjOverEZ, on 03/20/2008, -2/+11Is the prank still effective if the cups are fulled with urine?
just curious... - inactive, on 03/20/2008, -11/+19you're the world's worst commenter
how's that for a change? - etx313, on 03/20/2008, -2/+10Weak.
- NoCt1, on 03/20/2008, -3/+10And I would say expect another prank on you the next day.
- kingace, on 03/20/2008, -1/+8You mean Jim Halpert?
- ligyron, on 03/20/2008, -3/+10This is a joke right? that's is the stupidest/weakest prank I've ever seen. what's supposed to happen? "Oh no! there are a bunch of cups with water on my desk which for some reason are all stapled together!" ..ok? is it just supposed to be a *****?
- Girlieq3, on 03/20/2008, -2/+9Staples are what MAKE the prank... if you just line them up you can easily pick them up one at a time and dump them out... if they're stapled you cant pick up a single cup
- screensnot, on 03/20/2008, -0/+6I feel sorry for your problem solving skills.
- Azuroth, on 03/20/2008, -0/+6I see you've played pranky-spoony before, well done sir!
- arobar, on 03/20/2008, -0/+5logic6's point was that you could use gelatin to clean it up. He's not suggesting you do it AS the prank. The defeats the entire purpose.
- pixelguru, on 03/20/2008, -1/+6During the golden age of advertising, I know of an art director got pranked when he went on vacation. While he was gone, his co-workers chipped in to hire a contractor. They removed his office door & doorframe, drywalled over the doorway, then painted it to match the rest of the wall. When the art director returned, his office was simply gone.
Another one I heard about - open a large jar of spaghetti sauce, put a piece of posterboard over the top and turn the jar upside-down so that the posterboard holds the sauce in. Put the jar on the desk and quickly slide out the posterboard, leaving the jar upside-down and open on the desk. Carefully clean up any visible sauce and wait for the hapless victim to walk into their office and pick up the jar. - RaiderWolf, on 03/20/2008, -2/+7Worlds most childish idea.
- da_bradler, on 03/20/2008, -0/+5I think the prank is that it would be impossible to remove them without making a huge mess.
- Talphin, on 03/20/2008, -0/+5No... The worlds best office prank would be to dig a 50 foot pit under the floor where your bosses desk resides, adding a hidden trap door, and wiring it to a big red "easy" button, then leave it on his desk for him to push... BAM!
Filling cups with water... pffttt... - jsuther, on 03/20/2008, -1/+6It only effective if you have pee capacity of a male timber wolf
- Unit134679, on 03/20/2008, -0/+5Mmm still a lot of vodka you're giving away. That would be a great way to get someone fired
- inactive, on 03/20/2008, -2/+6I was hoping it was going to be a video.....
- Narcism, on 03/20/2008, -2/+6Captain Obvious is obvious.
- bullsfan03, on 03/20/2008, -0/+4..wow
- mccune, on 03/20/2008, -0/+4Same here, this is lame without any video, or at least description, of the reaction to this prank. Come to think of this, it's pretty much just lame, period.
- robotto, on 03/20/2008, -1/+5Doesnt work!!!
- sailadayaway, on 03/20/2008, -2/+6We did this same thing for my high school senior prank, although we didn't staple them together, we just filled a couple thousands cups up with water and put them in the stairwells. Staples are a nice touch.
