Okay, I need to do something random and weird at work. Any suggestions?
   
Three stipulations:

1) It can't be something that could conceivably get me fired.

2) It can't be illegal.

3) It must leave me feeling both refreshed and menatlly alert.

You could try something completely different and actually do some work.

well, how sensitive are the people you work with and how much would it take to get you fired? Someone did that at my work and everything thought it was hilarious.

Note: the prankster had to clean the bathroom afterwards.

Do that at ANY of the workplaces I've been at and you'll be in the market for a new job immediately.

8. You could rob a coworker.
   
Put pantyhose over your head then demand money while pointing your finder at them in your pocket. When they laugh it off as a joke, continue like you are really serious. Continue until they are really uncomfortable and stop laughing then demand money again.

Please try this.

He really, really needs an ass-kicking, but being fired may have to do.

Obviously the "prankster" was DUmmy suninvited.

Just as obviously, the workplace was a government office. The "prankster" would have been dismissed had it been a real job.

Show up at your desk and working 10 minutes before you are supposed to.  Leave 20 minutes later than you are supposed to.

Say "please" and "thank you."

That's pretty cool.  We just disassembled people's desks and hid everything when they went on vacation. :p

We once disassembled a guys bunk, and reassembled it in the shower.  Perfectly ready for inspection, including highly shined boots.  That drew plenty of laughs.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

We once filled the boss' desk drawer full of sand. Didn't take anything out before we did it. Got the idea from a movie one of the guys had watched.

In college, while one of the dorm RA's was away for the weekend, we filled his dorm room up entirely with wadded up newspaper.. floor to ceiling. Took the whole weekend, and we had to use a trick with a large sheet of cardboard near the end, to keep the paper wads from spilling out the door. At the end, we slid the cardboard out the slightly ajar door as we closed it.

Show up on time, alert, sober, ready to work, and not bitching about anything.  That'll blow their freakin minds, DUmmies.

I helped three guys do this to our RA my freshman year.  Took us a lot less time--just an evening.  The head resident of the dorm thought it was pretty funny (the RA in question didn't), but he was more concerned with the guys taking over a ton of newspapers from the recycling center, than trashing the room.  So, the other three guys got fined.  (They took the papers--I didn't.  I did chip in a few bucks to them, however.)

We moved everything but the paint on the walls out of one upperclassman's dorm room while he was out partying all night.  He showed up around daylight, opened the door, let out a loud "W...T...F!!!???!!!" you could hear all down the hall, and then laughed his ass off.

I didn't do this at any workplace, but my friends and I "altered" a classroom in High School.

On April 1st, 3 friends and I turned EVERY desk, chair, bulletin board in the room upside down before the teacher got there.  The only thing "normal" was her desk.  The look on her face was priceless, even if it took her 5 minutes before she noticed something was wrong.   :rotf:

It got us our own page in the yearbook!

I'm always messing with people at work. I bought a huge fake rubber roach and placed it on a shelf, an employee was in that area, reaching down to grab something, felt something touching her head & it was the fake bug....funny shit.  :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

I hid that fake bug so many times my gut hurt from laughing....

We did something similar, but with a genuine dead Palmetto. It died such that it looked like a Praying Mantis, its front legs up as if in attack position. It was a huge one, at least 3 to 4 inches long. It ended up perched on the security chief's phone. Funniest day ever...

the conversation went like this..

Me : "Hey, I wonder if Helen's in yet"
Helen "AHHHHHHHHH!!! WHO PUT THE COCK-A-ROACH ON MY PHONE!!!!"
friend : "Yup. She's here."

followed by much laughter..

Possibly, but I wonder how "mentally" and "alert" got in the same post, much less the same sentence, from a DUmmie....
