Prank the Scrooge During the Holidays!

How to Pull Off Practical Jokes and Get Even with Your Boss

Lucky M Diaz
When the boss is a Scrooge during the holidays it's easy to get frustrated and feel under appreciated. Didn't get the holiday ham or turkey? Missed out on that Christmas bonus you were really looking forward to? The best thing to do is to make yourself feel a little bit better with good, hearty laughter. You will get an abundance of laughter for yourself and your coworkers through practical jokes. This year you will have these great ideas on how to pull off practical jokes at work and get even with your boss. It's time to prank the Scrooge during the holidays!

1)Subscribe to sex toy and libido enhancing mailing lists. If you're up late at night because work has you stressed out and you just can't sleep, you can use this time to get even. Call the infomercial hotlines and subscribe to sex toy and libido enhancing products using your boss' name and company address. The look on his/her face when the secretary or mail room attendant gives them their mail will be priceless!

2)Don't screen your boss' phone calls. Make your boss work his/her butt off by forwarding any and every phone call that comes in to them. Your boss will learn to appreciate the dozens of telemarketers and angry customers that you save him/her from speaking to every day. Be sure to tell the person your boss' full name and extension number in case they want to call back again.

3)Super glue a quarter to the floor outside of his/her office. If your boss is cheap this trick is sure to get everyone roaring in laughter. Put a generous amount of strong glue to one side of a quarter, and then push that side of the quarter hard against the floor just outside of your boss' office. Watch as he/she bends over and becomes determined to make that quarter his/her own.

4)Give Scrooge the laxative brownie bathroom detour. This prank requires that you buy or prepare chocolate brownies for everyone. Make one of the brownies "special" by making sure that the chocolate frosting on top is made out of Ex-Lax or any other over the counter chocolate laxative. Get an accomplice to pass out the brownies to the entire office staff during lunch and make sure that the special laxative brownie is handed directly to or left on the boss' desk. Once the seed has been planted, go to the nearest bathroom and put "out of order" signs on all of the stalls, including the main door. You can even go a step further by locking the stalls or placing masking tape over the toilet lids. The boss might decide to go home early after running through the office, trying not to crap their pants!

5) Prank phone call. This prank requires that you use a pay phone or friends' personal cell phone and leave the office. Call up the boss and say that you are a Teamster union member, invent a name, and ask for donations to start a union for the office staff of (insert your company's name). Listen as your boss' blood pressure climbs. Another great phone prank is to call up your boss and say that you are with (invent holiday basket company name) and would like to verify the holiday cheese and wine basket order. Make up a verification number, and make sure that you also state the number of baskets (number of employees in the company), then let your cheap boss know that the order will cost $12,579.32. He or she will be steaming angry and you will be laughing your heart out!

Prank that Scrooge boss of yours, laugh heartily, and get feeling better about the holidays! Try out these pranks and enjoy.

    I, um, actually sent away for hearing aid information for a boss when I was in my teens.. gave his home phone and everything. He complained about how he kept getting phone calls for hearing aids.. I laughed hysterically.
