From the Sunshine State of Florida, authorities noticed a driver not wearing her seat belt so they performed a routine traffic stop. According to Fox 35 Orlando, while officers were talking with the driver, they noticed that she was acting suspiciously. So, the officers obtained a search warrant and to no one’s surprise, drugs were found in her car. Then while searching her purse, the officers found a bag. Written on the bag were the words “Bag Of Drugs.” Inside of the bag were in fact drugs like cocaine, Xanax, Crystal meth and a lot more. At that point 41 year-old Lauren Riley was arrested.

So, what kinds of pranks did you pull as a kid? This “ought not to have done that” prank may win the prize. Out of New Zealand, according to Stuff New Zealand, several teenagers apparently got bored one afternoon and decided that they would break into a local racecourse. At that exact time, there just happened to be a training session in progress that involved police K-9’s. Within minutes, police swarmed the building, found and arrested the teens.

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!
