I put a tiny piece of masking tape over my co-worker’s mouse laser on April fool’s day one year, wrote “April fool’s” on it. He troubleshot every single thing except examining the mouse. He eventually called IT who simply turned the mouse over and pointed it out to him. u/Swedish-Whistle

I mess with colleagues during meetings by controlling how they sit. You copy everything they do to start, they lean back, you lean back, etc. Then, slowly, take the lead. If they are sitting back. Sit forwards. I have managed to start mini-mexican waves of people moving back and forth in meetings. u/[deleted]

It works best if you are standing, but use your judgment; gradually lower the volume of your voice. Others will match your volume and they tend to move closer. Wait for your moment and just start speaking in a normal or slightly louder than normal voice. u/coprolite_hobbyist

If you ever have a moment with their computer or cellphone use their search engine to look for a bunch of non-sense products and then erase the search history. The algoritm will think they have a interest in said products and put a bunch of adds recomending them for the next few days. u/Knork14

Whenever I visit my extended family across the country, I bring a bag full of random remotes that I don’t use anymore. Just random remotes that go to old dvrs or anything really. Just hide them around their house, they only recently caught on. u/Dfuz2-Flame

My dad used to have this game with a friend. They embarrassed me endlessly when I was a teen (but that was a bonus). Basically, when they were walking in the street, whenever they were passing someone, they would say things like: "Remember, when you pushed your mother-in-law down the stairs...?" or "I mean, it wasn't that much drug, usually I carry way more than that!" or "Where did you hide the knife after stabbing him?" u/Xiaozhu

When you're talking to someone, just keep handing them random items. They'll just keep taking them without realizing it. u/[deleted]
