From the "Home of the Blues," Memphis, Tennessee, while EMS workers were inside of the Regional One Medical Center, Tanya Thomas was lurking around the exterior of the facility. At some point, Tanya had the bright idea to steal an ambulance that was parked at the hospital. In the process, she ran over the foot of someone standing nearby. She also crashed into another EMS vehicle. Her plan ended though when she smashed into a brick wall. As expected Tanya was immediately scheduled for a mental evaluation.

From the “you have got to be kidding” file, during a routine inspection, Chinese customs officials were shocked when they searched an unidentified man and found over 100 “live” snakes that were hidden away in the man’s pants. The man had the snakes secured in a bag that was then attached to his pants. Several of the snakes were not native to the man’s homeland country of China. At this time, we are not sure what the outcome was.

Playing harmless office pranks can have several benefits for workplace morale and culture when done appropriately! My current workplace is constantly trying to "out -prank" each other and the shenanigans reach epic proportions. It's inspiring really. But it turns out, pranking is the way to go for a happy and healthy working environment. Some benefits to this practice include:

However, it's crucial that any pranks follow ground rules to keep things appropriate for the workplace:

- No damaging property

- No major disruptions to work

- No causing injuries

- Only prank those who enjoy it

- Avoid anything discriminatory or crossing lines

When used judiciously, clever and harmless pranks can meaningfully improve office culture and employee satisfaction. The key is moderation and knowing your audience!

Place labels that say "Voice Activated [Device Name]" on commonly used office equipment like the coffee machine, microwave, copier, and printer. Then sit back and watch as your coworkers try to operate them with voice commands. 

For wired mice, simply unplug them. For wireless mice, place a small piece of tape over the sensor on the bottom to render them inoperable. Watch as your coworkers struggle to figure out why their mouse suddenly stopped working.

Whenever a coworker steps away from their desk, change their desktop background image to something funny or unexpected. Deny any knowledge of how it happened when they ask.

Place action figures, LEGO minifigs, or other small toys around a coworker's desk and workspace when they're not around. The more the merrier!

Dip onions in caramel (and optionally red food coloring), put in popsicle sticks, and leave them out for unsuspecting coworkers to bite into, expecting a sweet treat.

Print out a large enthusiastic photo of Nicolas Cage and attach it under the toilet seat for a startling bathroom break.

Attach an airhorn behind a door so it blasts whenever someone opens it. Perfect for getting everyone's attention when entering a meeting.

Leave cryptic post-it notes on coworkers' desks telling them to urgently call another colleague about an "evaluation" or "meeting". Hilarity ensues as confusion spreads.

Add googly eyes to a coworker's baby photos on their desk or to everything in the office fridge for a silly surprise.

Individually wrap a coworker's desk items, from their chair to paper clips, while they're out. Unwrapping will keep them busy for a while!
