Office Pranked Day?

Happy Earth Day everyone!

Actually, the whole concept of “Earth Day” got me thinking… we need more holidays.

Office Prank day, for example, would probably go over really well. And yes, I know that there are those that would argue that April 1st serves that purpose, but I disagree—we need a day (possibly a week or even a month) out of the year designated to this fascinating pastime. Hey, it could even be a “season”, like with sports!

Let’s be honest—the office prank is something that everybody should participate in. I’d even go so far as to say it should be a regulated requirement for everyone that works in offices.

The versatile office prank is almost a downright necessity when it comes to breaking up the monotony of daily office life. I’d categorize office mischief up there with toilet paper: a completely simple idea, and yet, where would we be without it?

Think about it. If everyone participated in at least one prank a year, the whole world of office cubicles and endless meetings and conference calls and 6am wake-ups would be ten times happier.

Granted, everyone would probably be a little more paranoid… but it’s all in good fun.

In fact, one of the reasons to keep the tradition of office pranking alive is actually for the health and safety of all in the workplace. If you don’t cut loose and laugh every now and again, you run a much higher risk of going postal!

So go ahead, switch the settings on your buddy’s mouse to the left hand. Take the roller ball out of their rodent and hide it in their file drawer. And when their done laughing and ask you what on Earth has gotten into you, just smile and tell them that today marks the official opening of prank season.

Happy Hunting!
