Office prank: Paper Flakes (sanity test)
Zubi was the victim again this morning.
While she was away from her desk for a few minutes:
- I stole her bowl of cereals with banana slices.
- I took a picture of the real cereals (from the top).
- I printed the “paper cereals” and cut them out.
- I put them in an empty bowl (with spoon and all).
- I place the fake cereals in the same place where the others were.
Result: When Zubi gets back to her desk to continue her tasks and breakfast, it was priceless to see her face (for 20 seconds or so), trying to figure out what was wrong, with kind of an “am I getting insane?” expression. Eventually after a few more seconds she looked at me and it was impossible to disguise my guilty face.
The picture above (click it to enlarge) was taken after I got her back the real cereals (at her right side). She is “eating” the fake ones.

Haha good one!
In my last job in Portugal, nobody could leave their desks with PCs unlocked or someone would change all IM status messages to something… compromising!
Nowadays here in Ireland I do something different: I put someone else’s “trash” (dirty cups, etc) on my boss’s desk - which doesn’t work anymore because he always blames me anyway! :-D
