Possibly the Best Prank...EVER

Last night, I was laying awake, dealing with a sinus infection that was keeping me from getting some much needed rest. I decided to wind down by surfing the web, and stumbled across a few videos of people dealing with office drama with a little mischief.

At first, all I found were people falling down, or breaking copy machines. It wasn’t exactly what I had been hoping for. I was about to give up and try and Benadryl myself to sleep when I found what might just be the best office prank... ever.

A company owner decided to try and fool everyone in the office. He actually went so far as to go out and find some contractors to help him pull off his awesome idea. He then went about sealing off an entire hallway that led to various offices.

Yes—he actually built a WALL and rearranged the entire configuration of the office!

The video, which is time lapsed, shows the workers putting up the fake wall. They then painted it the same color as the others. The owner’s wife even came in and put some plants, a picture or two, and a water cooler.

In all honesty, it was very well built and could easily fool even company veterans. The crafty tricksters then hid a camera in a plant overlooking the hall way.
It was all downhill from there—at least for the unsuspecting employees. Employees walked in and out a few times in utter confusion. Then the office manager walks in, and is completely distraught. (Who can blame him—his office was beyond the sealed “wall”)

Soon everyone gathered to contemplate what might have happened. It didn’t take long for them to figure out that they had been pranked. Of course, they were still confused as to what to do next. It wasn’t till the prank master came out and explained it (through hysterical laughter) that they decided to take it down.

They chose the very effective human cannon ball method to remove the new office addition.
