DIFFICULTY LEVEL 1 Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 1) Remove the bottom of a random shipping box. Use a utility knife to create a clean cut around the bottom of the box (Figure 1). 2) Place the box in front of your coworkers office.

Set down the box in the middle of your marks door, so he or she will be tempted to pick it up. Next, fill the box up with thousands of popcorn seeds (Figure 2). Remember not to pick up the box after this step, because you removed the bottomremember? 3) Seal the top of the parcel with industrial packing tape. Use parcel tape to seal the lid of the box. Not only does this add to its authenticity of a real parcel, but it also entices your mark to carry it to his desk to open it (Figure 3). 4) Wait quietly for your coworker to return.

As soon as your victim picks up the tainted box, thousands of popcorn seeds pour out onto the floor (Figure 4).

DIFFICULTY LEVEL 1 Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 1) Carry out this mission late one night! This simple but very effective corporate antic concentrates on the pure fundamentals of psychological office warfare. The ideal time of execution is late one night when you find yourself surrounded by only custodial staff. 2) Fill out a ton of sticky notes. Armed with only your penmanship and a handful of sticky notes, begin to fill duplicate notes with the saying See me when you get in.

Then sign your marks signature (Figure 1). 3) Walk around the office and place the See Me notes on everyones monitor. Start with everyone who knows your victim first, and then place the excess on random monitors around the office (Figure 2). 4) Come in early the next morning to witness the interruptions. Unbeknownst to your victim, he or she will settle into the daily morning routine. Then it starts.

Little by little, employees trickle into their individual offices, read the note, and then venture down to your marks office. The more notes, the bigger the payoff (Figure 3).

DIFFICULTY LEVEL 1 Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 1) Lock and load! It is fairly simple; just break out the label maker and hit everything in your victims officefrom the storage boxes, cabinets, shelves, and folders to pens, pencils, keyboard, mouse, monitor, chair, paper clip, phone, phone cord, speakers, headphones, plants, pictures, people in the pictures, radio, and of course the coffee mug (Figures 14). 2) Team up with a fellow coworker to increase your labeling effort! It is probably best to team up on this one, or be prepared for some strange carpal tunnel issues from all the micro typing!
DIFFICULTY LEVEL 1 Figure 1 Figure 2 1) Gather up all the vegetation you can get your green thumbs on.

Notice an abundance of plants in your area? During non-work hours, gather up all the plants in the office (Figure 1). You may want to use a small presentation cart to truck the load to the plants new destination. 2) Relocate the borrowed plants to your victims space. Plastic or real, fill up the space (Figure 2). I can guarantee you this overgrown mess will upset more than one person.

(!) Another suggestion: You can purchase fake marijuana plants on the Internet.
