Re: Anyone played any jokes on CO’s or other members of staff?

About 10 yrs ago we were doing an extension on the office area.
I printed and laminated some "pay and display" signs, then I put a note in the staff room that we were running out of budget for the extension so it was going toward the project.
Many of the CO's fell for it. [Crazy.png]

At the last secondary school, which was also a catholic school (former convent school) the head was retiring so we took down her name plate on the front of the school and cable tied it on her front bumper, it was very well stuck and wouldn’t fall off and didn’t cover the reg so all good. She finished for the day and went off to the shops, then the local garage for a new tyre then a few other visits and went home. It wasn’t until she asked why her husband was laughing that she realised what was going on. We had a nice thank you card for “our help” and said she daren’t go back to the garage with embarrassment.

Another time,
I got my security company to give me a dead Paxton card reader.
I did a letter saying that some staff were spending too much time and too frequently in the toilets. I said that they were to swipe their card when going in and out. I posted it in the staff room.
With double sided tape, I stuck the reader outside the door.
By the end of the day I had to tell at least one staff member it was a joke.

We had a central toilet block that had no windows and relied on lights being on.
Very occassionally when a less popular staff member went in, we would wait until they were 'on the throne' and flick the lights off, leaving them in pitch black.
