Who says work is dull? Office workers reveal how their prankster colleagues lighten the mood
- People from around the world have shared the funniest goings on in their offices
- An employee pranks his co workers with a cake that claims to house a toenail
- A clever man who wanted a standing desk removed a tile from the floor below
- Elsewhere, a painted portrait of women giggling is placed directly above a urinal
A day without humour in the office can be a long one, and a few pranksters can go a long way in keeping spirits high.
Now people from around the world have shared the workplace pranks that have lightened the mood – with the very best collated in a gallery by Parent Influence.
One photo shows an office filled to the brim with colourful balls, while another trickster put a note on a coffee machine that claimed it was voice activated, and sat back while their workmates scratched their heads.
Elsewhere, a play on words results in a huge poster of Steve Jobs being printed, and a whole company decides to dress up as one of their coworkers.
