Last Minute April Fool's Day Pranks

Here are five last minute office pranks to do on your colleagues. 

Move offices or rooms. This means you get your entire team, but one person, to work from a different space all day. When that one person asks where you are all--say we’re here in the office, where are you? Don’t give in. Make them wonder, where is everyone?? Continue work as normal. (Tip: Find a work space on DesksNear.Me.)

Unplug everything--computer cords, microwaves, lamps, printers, TV’s, etc. The boss’s prank Email your staff at 5 am and say “It’s been an emergency and we need everyone at the office by 6:30 am.” (or any other uncomfortable abnormal hour for your team) Show up at your usual time but bring a donuts or some kind of snack. Your staff will be mad you interrupted their morning routine but relieved there’s no emergency. Hey? You get early bird workers for the day. 

Put tape under their mouse--watch the confusion as they wonder why their mouse isn’t working. Give them a few minutes. Also, if someone leaves their desk, save a screenshot of their screen and make it their background. Watch as they try to click on tabs. 

Let all the employee’s know that due to a local threat, the local authorities have requested that all employees be shoeless for the remaining part of the day as a precaution. Post any pranks you’ve done or have experienced below.
