Best Prank Ever!

It has taken a while for me to post this, but I think it is so funny.

Once upon a time, I was a very innocent, quiet and great employee. Till one day my boss, who is a very big, loud guy continued to sneak around corners and pop out and scare me. He did is often enough that I thought it was time that he get a taste of his own medicine!

I had a slew of fake computer mice and decided that this was the perfect time to use them! Every morning for 3 months I replaced his real computer mouse with the fake one.

My boss was blaming all these people for doing it (I am so innocent that he didn't even think that it could be me). One day he went into this guy's office and threw the mouse at him and said, "It was funny the first time!" I had to go outside and laugh, I was dying!

One day he was telling me about the prank and was getting really irritated about the whole situation. This is what he said, "I have been walking across the company to throwing them away so they won't come back, I have been cutting them up, I have tried everything to get rid of these things and they just keep coming back!"

I decided that it was time to take the prank to the next level hehehe! I went to work early and snuck into his office. I put a sticky note under his real mouse that covered the red laser light making it so that the mouse wouldn't work. I taped the edges down so it would not snag on anything and it would take him a while to figure out what was wrong.

Comes to find out that he got there that morning and his mouse was not working. He restarted his computer, unplugged his mouse, restarted the computer again, unplugged the mouse again, and was about ready to call IT to come fix his computer. He finally looked under his mouse and found it. Without any thought he marched out of his office and went blaming everyone he could think of (not me of course).

Later on that week I was talking with my boss and telling him what a sales rep said to me. My boss just lite up and got really excited and said that I needed to get him back and he had just the perfect way to do it. He took me into his office and showed me if I put a sticky note of the bottom of the mouse, it wouldn't work! He explained the taping the edges down and everything. I was dying inside, but kept my cool. I asked questions like, "Oh really? Why would I do that? What is the tape for?" It was so great! He taught me my own trick.

So I stopped replacing his mouse for a few months and did it every once in a while. It was top secret for a year! When I found a new job I though it was a good time to tell my boss who was responsible for annoying him for a year! Take a look.................
