Because it’s funnier.
Lighten up, people.
Grin, look your coworker deep in the eyes, shyly glance around the table and then proudly announce “I’m wearing new socks!”
Blow your nose into a kleenex, and then ask everybody if they’d like a look.
Bring Chick Tracts. Pass them around the bar. Discuss them earnestly. Haw! Haw! Haw!
Wear sock puppets and talk to people “through” them.
Regularly shout “fire drill!” and force everyone to get up, run around the table and take a different seat.
“Well, now that we’re away from the office and those pesky ‘social conventions’, let me tell you ALL about my new church!”
Fart. Repeatedly and noisely. If you can’t, just make fart noises with your mouth.
Every other bite, make sure some food falls out of your mouth. Pick it up and put it back in.
Complain repeatedly about your ex. Better yet, start a lot of sentences with "My ex, that goddamned son of a bitch, he… " Get louder and louder the longer you go on. (Change genders as needed/desired).
Don’t order any food. Say you aren’t hungry.
Then start picking off of other people’s plates.
Not everyone thinks pranks are funny. Be careful whom you are pranking, is all.
Is that even a word?
I am so saving this thread, because I just know I’m going to want to use some of these someday.
Bother. I was going to say something like that. And I speak enough Esperanto to do it, too!
Place a large rock on the table or bar when the coworker is not looking. Keep glancing at it. When no-one is looking at it, move it, just a little.
Show up six inches taller than usual.
Oh I disagree. You know the old saying “everyone has a plan until they do their first Jaeger-bomb”.
A lot of these ideas wouldn’t make me uncomfortible and would, in fact, be hilareous after a few drinks. Then again, you are talking to a guy who ate at a fancy Manhattan seafood restaurant with a friend and then proceed with said friend to the dive bar across the street with an empty lobster shell to do shots out of it.
Sorry, wrong thread
