I was chuckling, remembering a wind up that was done to me at Uni. I returned to find a big sign on my door saying 'Welcome to the land of topsy turvey' after the Magic Faraway Tree. Every single thing in the room had been turned upside down...to the very last detail!
What wind ups have you done to others or had done to you?
We used to play a fairly regular wind up with some of the new Sales Staff we had (I used to work for a Building Contractor). We would leave them a message saying a Mr C Lyon had phoned for a quote for repainting his swimming pool, and we wrote down the number for Chester Zoo. Everyone of them fell for it and not one of them put the phone down immediately upon hearing the "Hello, Chester Zoo, can I help you"
Sending young trainee nurses down to the CSSD for a bucket of steam.
Sending the same down to the Path Lab (blood dept) for a Long Stand.
Just two of the many. And Yes I was caught out in my early days. lol

Oh, and the spotted paint was another (Only we did used to have spotted paint - Portaflec does have specs or spots in it) but yes, we did all the usual naughty wind ups (and yes, I fell for them as well) wink
When I worked at a place that used to do homework - my drivers - just for a joke, made a deliver to my home early in the morning on my day off. I got up and thought I might go shopping in town - opened the door to find they had completely blocked the doorway entrance up it with boxes. I couldn't get out till they came back to free me - blighter's!
I used to love listening to a Wind Up programme on GWR - the pranks they did via telephone live on air to unsuspecting members of the public or companies were hilarious.
As a trainee hairdresser when I first left school I was asked to go to the newsagents to buy a new hairdressing magazine called "short and curlies" lol
Moved all our door numbers at uni so that our accomodation block was mirrored, nobody noticed at all.....
...until the freshers tried to move in next year and none of their keys worked! lol
Mayhem apparently!

Hehe - that's like sending the trainee down to the builder's merchant fer a long stand.

I heard a nice one only last night which is to take a screen print of a colleagues start page then set it up as a display using powerpoint. Dunno if it works sounds like it might.
If you are in an environment with inexperienced computer users who use function keys for mainframe applications, levering them off and replacing them in reverse order is a giggle.

I loved those books. Wonder if it would spoil them if I read them again now? Hmmmmm... *ponders*
Hole punches. That's my favourite bit of nonsense. We save up the hole punches from the heavy duty punches in the office. Pockets, purses, inside newspapers, etc. The simple things amuse me. The best one was inside someone's towel before they went for a swim at lunchtime.

Change the keys round on keyboards too. redface
Especially when they don't touch type and can't figure it out! lol

Sending a newbie to the stores to get a bubble for a spirit level. Storeman asking the newbie if he needed a round one or a square one lol Stumped most of the newbies :lol:

Hole punch emptied into someone's umbrella is a good one. They get outside, open it up and it starts to snow on them! :giggle:
Oh.. and swaping the button controls round in the mouse properties. It's hell trying to fix it when right and left are mixed up. :cool:
a Swiss movement, surely
