- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+76Great job - at least he won't have to worry about the google/cia spy satellites reading his brainwaves whilst he works :)
- richste, on 10/12/2007, -0/+60Great, now all you have to do is connect the tinfoil to the mains power.
- pbaehr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+50I hope his friend doesn't read Digg.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+50dwight schrute is in for a surprise.
- ij00mini, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46I did this to my roommate; his half of the room. He had left for his hometown for Christmas break, so I got started. He walks back in the door after just a few hours (I wasn't even done yet), and just stands there, mouth agape.
All I could bring myself to say was, "yea....."
Apparently his flight got cancelled. >. - TheWhyOfFry, on 10/12/2007, -1/+44god, i wish i worked there.
"hey, boss, can i use a day and a half to tin foil this guy's cube? thanks." - codwif, on 10/12/2007, -3/+44Tinfoil $25
Getting paid for 1.5 days to wrap a cube in foil.... Priceless - ibeetle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27This is kind of cool. I wish I worked there.
If I was the "victim" when I walked in and saw that I would do everything I could to hold my reaction. Just sit down and get to work. Just pretend everything is fine.
Then put clear wrap on all the toilet seats. - bsing, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29Actually, it said that his boss helped with the job. What a sweet place to work.
- pushmouse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28I saw this a few years ago. You want impressive?
How to wrap your friend's apartment in tin foil: a love story.
http://www.blacktable.com/elder040114.htm - bill679, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27action figures at work? he definitely reads digg
- Dhalgren, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Do you work at Reynolds Wrap? If so that doesn't count...
- robojerk, on 10/12/2007, -7/+26hater
- Schug, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20I expect to see this on eBaumsWorld soon with his stupid little watermark. Just wait. . .
- codwif, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17they put those in mice still?
- digitalsin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Funny thing is, he's self employed, works from home, and lives by himself.
- mikeroySoft, on 10/19/2009, -0/+12"What he doesn't even know yet..."
And posting this to Digg is supposed to keep it a secret? - Hardcase, on 10/12/2007, -9/+20How original!

http://www.livedigitally.com/wp-content/572L.jpg - MatttK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11@withincontext: These kinds of pranks go on at all kinds of workplaces, from McDonald's to Microsoft. Sometimes even busy people need to have a little fun.
- defunct123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Gottschalk - I bet you're the life and soul of your office, huh?
- vinesugar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Wow... and here I figured this would just make people laugh on a Friday afternoon. Didn't realize how many haters there are out there.
For the record:
1) the guy in the pics is me; not the guy who's cube it is.
2) I'm not trying to take credit for the idea. This is an old prank but its still a classic and one we thought we'd have fun with it considering pranks like this never occur in our office.
3) For all those haters - you're only making it funnier for us, Thank you!! - nepawoods, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I just love clever sarcasm.
- dougm68, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Yeah I don't pull these third rate hacky jokes anymore.
My last prank involved a very small drill bit, 8 oz. of gasoline, and a light buld.
I can't wait til he gets back to his office.
Its gonna be hilarious.
~where do you draw the line? - digitalsin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Glad you're okay with it skippy
- jsowder18, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Hope this guy doesn't check Digg on his vacation
HAHA ... wait, wait, is is that MY office?!?!?! Son of b****! - rcran, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Yes, what a shame...
/sarcarsm - DiggsOnlyNeoCon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Nah, don't recycle... then there's no chance of killing dolphins.
- PhilH, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Agreed, the best reaction would be none at all. Just calmly sit down and carry on as normal.
- totorototoro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6wow, that is one small work area. that's like a Dilbert cubicle.
- machambi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6draw the line under the desk, just by the power outlet
- mcottier, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4But who the hell are you to say that they are wasting time? Maybe they work really hard all year long. Geez, lighten up!
- endersadvocate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4damn Jim...
- Geekbeard, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Meh. At my school, the following pranks have been committed:
-covering everything in an office with pornography
-filling an office impossibly full with those large blue recycling bins
-covering the floor of an office with sod
-and what used to be an annual trick among the engineers (but has now disappeared due to the fuzz) the hanging of a VW Beetle off the top of a suspenion bridge. - marc26uk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4nepawoods, brilliant. (unless you stole that line)
- VSack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I did this to years ago to a guy here at my job.
http://www.houseboardshop.com/prank/ - kylesellers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I just found a link to this same prank, but done to an office (rather than a cubicle):
http://content.techrepublic.com.com/2346-10877_11-31132-14.html - ohmytodd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5i was thinking that too..
although if that was my workspace.. I don't think i would recognize it under tin foil. nothing in the picture really jumps out as unique. - whiskerlickins, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Eh, chill out. Business is sometimes slow during the holidays if you're not in retail. At our company, most of the contacts for our clients have been out on vacation so this week's been kind of slow.
- caliyankee, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9Oh your God. Sorry, but do you ever pull that pole out of your ass and enjoy life? Even for Christmas?
- wrestlingnrj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I was unfortunate to have sick bastards at my school who found it funny to nail up dead animals all over the school and dump a dead horse in our pool. Needless to say they are still in jail (8 years later).
- LoadStar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The guy uses a trackball, and yes, they did cover the ball from it.
- mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5What company is this? People actually have time to do this?
- Dhalgren, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I've seen much worse...
Cubes are the invention of the Devil. - grendel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2in new digg stories atari releases the rumored 2600.
- kaffein, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Thats what you get for using a trackball.
- spkthed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2All of these photos are from somewhere else, it's a great joke, and a great story, don't get me wrong....
just not the submitters/pages story. I'd be pretty frustrated if my work had been stolen like that. - SadPanda, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah, funny but pretty it's a pretty popular office prank. Searching google for foiled will bring up a few of these...
Such as http://mkaz.com/snapshots/foiled/index.php?snum=0 - aknowles5139, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If you look just below the last picture, you can see that theres the little Digg man they stole from Digg...
- loconet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Speaking of people with pickles up their asses. How about this character from the blog's comments:
"Just a thought: soldiers in Iraq are getting killed daily by risking their lives defending our freedom and rights...and you meticulously wasted tinfoil in the pursuit of a joke and art! Great job you are really making a difference in the world!
