Clearly if all of the pranks are being played on you then maybe your day won\u2019t be so great. If you are the prankster on April Fool\u2019s Day, the day is full of happy anticipation and laughter. Here are some great jokes to play on your fellow coworker:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Moving everything in their office or cube by an inch or two. They won\u2019t notice the difference right away but something will seem off all day long or all week long!<\/li>\n<li>Placing a clear piece of tape over the optical sensor on the bottom of their mouse. Things will be quite slow.<\/li>\n<li>Taping the phone to the receiver in a way that they can\u2019t see the tape. That way when they pick up the phone, the whole thing comes up. Make sure you are the one placing the call, you don\u2019t want them to miss an important phone call.<\/li>\n<li>Moving their lunch in the refrigerator to a different shelf. People go bananas when you touch their lunch.<\/li>\n<li>Hit Ctrl+ALT plus an arrow directional on their computer this will make everything on their monitor upside or sideways.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are just a few ideas, of course works comes first, but a little laughter makes everyone happier and more productive!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April fool\u2019s day at the office can either be a great day or a horrible day.
