Maybe the funniest was when a co-worker sent an email that was off-color, and I replied back to him and edited the header to make it look like he had just sent it to company-all. Dude! What have you just done!?!
lol. He was basically packing his shite to go home at that point.
Other than that, filling a co-workers office to the ceiling with balloons, etc. Harmless.

Worked construction and we would put an air horn in the porta potties where it could pulled from outside but the horn faces inside. When new people would go in we would scare the shite out of them.
One guy fell out once and injured his back which got a guy fired though.

I printed out about 10 pieces of paper with the word TEST across them in large print. I then put them randomly in the supply tray. Sat back and watched people trying to figure out how to get the printer out of test mode, they think they have it, then it happens again. They called in a printer tech too. Hilarious.
fantastic office prank, mate

Years ago (1990’s) I worked for a company that did printing of packaging materials for M&M’s products. One of the items we did had lots of images of M&M’s characters randomly printed all over it. I dared our printing manager to make a print plate for one run that had just one of the hundreds of M&M’s characters shooting a bird. The bastard did it! I was the account manager for M&M/Mars and was scared to death for months that we were going to hear about it, but thank God we never did. He didn’t tell anyone and neither did I….until now.

15 years ago we had 2 teams at different client sites doing software upgrades. On a Sunday night my team got bored. I dialed the other team leader using a spoof app pretending to be our boss. I was pretty good at imitating him and chewed the guys arse out and hung up.
He calls boss back. Boss asked him if he was using drugs because he was at home watching TV and never called him.
Team leader calls me and said I think boss is drunk. He called me chewed me out and doesn’t even remember.
I clued boss in the next day. He played along for a week or so. I finally told team leader and he was pissed. Not that I did but that I got over on him so good.

A long time ago I would occasionally change some coworkers internet home page to rotten.com that showed gruesome stuff. No idea what that site may be today.
Also had a coworker once who constantly farted in meetings or when he'd stop by different offices. We had a seafood boil on a Friday one time & he went home before we cleaned it all up. So we put a bag of crawfish & shrimp peelings in the corner behind his desk & closed his office door. He had quite a scent in there on Monday morning.

Boudreaux, I never said I created the Annoyatron but I did use the inspiration and got 3 of them from Amazon.

Borden Chemical in Geismar around August, 1981. I was working for Jacobs Engineering as a timekeeper. It was a union job and the Teamsters had a dispute with the Pipefitters. Pipefitter steward would go into the porta potty just before lunch every day to take a dump. Teamster steward sees that, backs a pick up truck so that the rear bumper is maybe 6 inches from the porta potty door, turns off the truck and takes the keys. I was watching all of this from the trailer and let the superintendent know that I had spare keys. He told me to let him bake in the porta potty for 15 minutes and then move the truck.

ETA - realize title was best I ever did. My buddy used to park his car along a wall so it wouldn't get dented. Sometimes I'd park like 6 inches from his driver's door so he couldn't get in and then go hide when he was ready to leave.

we did the 'snuggle bear' to my friend one time. one of our friends was our graphic designer and we pulled up on either side of my friend's car one morning when he got there before we did and got our doors within CENTIMETERS of his on either side. one guy stood outside the car and flagged the other until it was perfect. you couldn't get a pocketknife between the cars.
then all day long the graphic designer sent random variations of this to him via email
"Snuggle up, Steve" and other witty things showing 2 of the snuggle bears doing random shite
he thought we were just being gay and tried to act like he knew what the emails meant and play along with it; saying 'NO, YOU'RE the snuggle bear"
i was dying that he was so clueless but acting like he was in on the joke. i about peed myself every time a new snuggle 'ad' went out via email.
so end of the day he finally goes to leave and we're up on the 4th floor with our faces plastered to the window to see his reaction.
ol' boy was PISSED. we could see how red his face was from all the way upstairs. he first tried to 'win' by figuring out a way into his car without us having to move but he couldn't even get the windows down and he tried to crawl in through the trunk but there was no pass-through to the backseat.
i have never seen someone so mad in my life. he didn't want to have to come back into the office to tell us let him out but we left him no choice so he made up a story that his dad was in the hospital and needed to see him.
literally one of the funniest things i've ever been a part of.

Also would send network messages using the "net messenger" dos command that would pop up official looking windows dialog boxes with stuff like "HR has determined that you have been viewing pornography from this station.

Not really an office prank but many years ago I was offshore on a drilling rig for an OEM in Angola and one of the new guys was asking question after question as we were disconnecting tubing on a Cameron pod. Finally the subsea engineer spoke to him for a a few minutes and he left. Saw the Subsea guy smiling and zi said what happened to him?
He said he got tired of all the questions so he told the new guy to go find the moon pool pump do they could pump it out. Everyone on the rig immediately knew what was up and would tell the guy it might be here or might be there. For a few hours I would see the guy climbing stairs or going down stairs searching for the moon pool pump.
If you don’t know offshore rigs this isn’t a funny story. If you do, then you get it.

I worked in a plant the summer after my SR year of high school to make some extra cash before college.
They had me go look for all kinds of shite before I caught on. A sky hook and a bucket of steam are the two I remember.
In hindsight, I can't believe I went looking for a bucket of steam, but most of these dudes were 35+ and I was 18 and just trying to do what I was asked

Not "office" but way back when a buddy first started his carpet cleaning business, I called and left a message saying I had a 5,000 square foot house and I need all the carpet cleaned. So please call me ASAP, my name is Mr. Lyon and my number is- then left the number for the Phoenix Zoo. Later, when I asked how Mr Lyon was, he said he didn't catch the Phoenix Zoo when the operator answered and asked the for Mr Lyon a couple times before she said sir I think someone is playing a trick on you, this is the Phoenix Zoo.
To get me back, he called me and disguised his voice (this was before caller id) and asked if I still have the Dodge Ram for sale. I said no, that's not me. And he said "Well, RAM IT UP YOUR arse!!"
