A Colorful Prank

While perusing the internet for office prank ideas, I kept happening upon a prank that seems to be pretty popular in the pranking community: covering a coworker’s entire cubicle in colored cellophane.

This might seem like quite the excessive and rather arduous prank to pull, but the outcome (seeing your coworker’s confused/surprised/irritated reaction and subsequently watching them have to undue it all) seems to be worth it.

You would probably have to round up a couple of fellow pranksters for this one, seeing as how covering an entire cubicle in saran wrap might be a bit too much as a one man job. So, rallying up a team of three or four coworker conspirators would probably be the best and most effective idea.

Once you’ve done this, head over to your nearest grocery store and buy a massive amount of cellophane (you’ve got a lot of cubicle space to cover, so you’re going to need a lot).

You’re also going to need to go into work extra early that morning for this task, so be sure to set your alarm that night at least an hour or two prior to what you usually set it for.

Once you get into work that morning, bright and early and before everyone else, get started! Be sure to cover the entire cubicle, leaving no space uncovered. Also, be sure to cover all the desktop items as well, such as the computer, mouse, mouse pad, staplers, etc…and be sure to cover the chair as well.

After you’ve finished, take a minute to bask in the glory of your epic prank.
This is a good one. You should be proud.

Once it’s time for work to start, go to your desks and act naturally, as if nothing is amiss. When your unsuspecting victim arrives, act as you normally would with him/her as to not tip them off.

Then, simply wait for them to walk into their cubicle and freak out. After this happens, you may commence with the giddy laughter and high fiving of a prank well done.
