Loading ...This prank should be very simple and safe (and very humiliating) . With this prank you will morph your coworker’s work area into a shrine for something they hate.
Requirements:
- Time (medium) - this can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours depending on how crazy you want to get.
- Cost (medium) - this again depends on how much you actually want to do. You will need to buy some posters , magazines
, and anything else you can that will make it look like your coworker is a diehard fan of something they hate.
- Risk (low) - there really is almost no risk here. Everything you do should be easily removed and no harm should come to anybody (unless you really piss off your coworker and they decide to end you).
Steps:
- Figure out what your coworker truly hates. Maybe they really hate Star Wars, or maybe they hate Rap Music. If you don’t really know, you can always go with Orlando Bloom if your coworker is a guy or Pamela Anderson if your coworker is a girl.
- If you followed those links, or if you click HERE, you can see some posters and calendars that you can get for pretty cheap. You’ll want at least one poster and/or calendar, though the more you get the more embarassed your coworker will get. Posters and calendars are the essential part of the “shrine”, so don’t skimp if you really want an awesome result.
- Get more specific items if at all possible. If there are any sort of dolls or figurines for the person you are making a shrine of, definately try to get at least one (nothing says obsessed fan like a doll). Try to be very creative and get the specific items that you would think about if you were making a shrine like CDs
- Pictures and articles are great for the “shrine”. Try and get as many magazines
- Get personal. This part will cost you nothing, just a piece of paper. Write a letter and/or poem about the person you are making a shrine of. For example, if you are making a shrine to 50 cent, write a personal letter to 50 cent saying how much the music has inspired you, that you may be in love, etc. You could even take the time to do the “ransom” style of letters where each letter is a separate clipping from a magazine.
- Now, take everything you’ve got for the shrine and decorate your coworker’s office/cubicle, making it look like they did it themselves. You want to set it up like your coworker trully loves the person/subject of the “shrine”. Put posters, calendars, and letters on the walls. Litter the desk with the clippings you have. Frame a picture and set it up next to their monitor. Try putting yourself into the mindset of somebody who is an obsessed fan and do what you would do.
- Take pictures of the final product and send them to your coworker’s friends and to other coworkers.
Result:
If you did a great job making your “shrine” then you’ll have one extremely embarrassed coworker. If you did a very mediocre job and only put up a single poster, then you’ll probably have wasted your time and only get a small chuckle.
This prank really is about taking that extra time and going that extra mile to really go overboard with the decorations. It could cost you around $50 if you do go crazy, but a decent job should really only cost around $20-$30 (which would be a couple posters, a doll or figurine, some magazines, and some other small extras).
Make sure to take pictures, you’ll want to send it to people your coworker knows so that your coworker be further embarrassed. Also, make sure to send your results here, I’d love to hear about them.
