Surely if they fall for the old "New bubble for the level" trick they don't have much promise. I'd fire them
cellotape on a telephones microphone.
bluetacking a phone to the handset
pressing the button on the chair which lets you adjust the back so that when people decide to slump they fall over.
white paper on the bottom of an optical mouse, removing the ball in a ball mouse.
sending annoying email links which open a billion pop ups (more annoying than funny)
reversing the metal bit at the bottom of a stapler so everything gets stapled funny.
taping/stapling documents together so when one gets picked up, so do the rest.
something i currently like doing is rubbing my feet on the floor and generating a static charge which i can use to shock my colleague - again more annoying than anything.
i'm an annoying person.

sounds like it
I bought something in that high street purple shop and the alarm went off when I left. They said don't worry, just leave.
So back at the office I cut out the little square security tag and hid it inside of one of the accounts woman's handbag while she was away from her desk.
Forgot about it for a couple of months until one day she came into work half an hour late and fuming.
She had been to B&Q on her way to work but had not bought anything. On leaving the store (I guess B&Q must use the same tags) the alarm went off
A member of staff asked her if she had anything on her, to which she said no. Security came over, put her through the sensor again which went off again and then frog marched her to the manager's office.
The manager repeatedly told her it would be better for her to come clean and that they prosecute shoplifters. She claimed her innoncene. They made her tip out all her handbag and empty her pockets.
Finally, after the empty handbag still set off the alarms, they found the tag which had slipped into the lining.
I had tears rolling down my face as she told me this story as to why she was late for work and had to admit that it was me that had hidden it.
She didn't talk to me for a week. The rest of the office gave me a "9 out of 10"

We pay peanuts and get monkeys so don;t expect anymore of them than that.

Our tea gang once got together three old milk cartons with a leftover in the bottom and left them to stand for about a week then hid them in the managers office, one of which was sellotaped to the radiator under his desk. It stunk in his office and he was well pleased when he finally found one and thought he'd gotten rid of the problem.
Another time we had doughnuts on a friday and one girl brought in chocolate ex-lax (sp?) and spread on one and gave it to the manager, He was farting all night!

I'm not a coffee drinker so I'm not sure how he didn't notice but we tipped a guys coffee out of his jar and replaced it with gravy. The look on his face when he took a sip was memorable!

You vandalised his car because he re-tuned the radio?

I work in a small shop similar to a Spar, but a very busy one in the centre of Belfast. A trick that often catches people is to selotape their tills shut so that when they go to take money for a transaction they get really confused and have to spend time undoing the tape, causing much annoyance to the customers waiting for change.
Another thing I did was last friday when I tipped a bin of Kit-kat chunkys over my supervisor/mate. He just stood there in shock as about 150 kitkats fell on top of him, to much laughter from me and my other two works mates.
