Comments on: April Fool’s Day Office Pranks http://www.petcoscoop.com/2009/04/april-fools-day-office-pranks/ Diggin' up the good stuff Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:00:18 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Brittany http://www.petcoscoop.com/2009/04/april-fools-day-office-pranks/comment-page-1/#comment-2953 Brittany Thu, 15 Jul 2010 20:35:55 +0000 http://www.petcoscoop.com/?p=907#comment-2953 I have been grooming for over 5 years now. Its always fun to spice things up with a lil prank once in a while. One day my coworker was running late. Our floors had been waxed the previous night so we had to moove our grooming tables back into the salon. I mooved all of them but hers. ( I left it outside the salon in the store next to the window) I then proceeded to move her grooming station, and floor mat out there as well, It was ready for buisness! My coworker comes in and looks pretty confused as she goes to clock in. There was a maltese waiting for her when she got there. I told her that in order to promote salon sales we have been asked to start live demos in the store. Now no groomer wants to put a dog on a table in the store! Reluctantly, she got the maltese she had scheduled for her and headed out the door. Right as she was tethering it to the table I ran out and told her it was jus a big joke. It was hillarious. She got me back though. A week later when I least expecteed it I went to unlock my station to access my tools. For the life of me I couldnt get it open. My key wasnt helping so I called in the store manager. He also attempted to unlock them and then jus started laughing hysterically. She had taped my drawers shut with clear boxing tape!! Good one!!!!

I think the best one was when I thought someone stole my mouse. I looked everywhere for it and eventually sent out an annoyed email to everyone I thought could be responsible for it. I got a response back saying "check the back of your montior." Lo and behold, taped to the back of my computer was the mouse!!! I won't name any names for the sake of privacy (cough *Matt Rhodes* Great pranks! I think the best one was when I thought someone stole my mouse.

Before leaving for the day she sent out an email stating the Sports Arena Store had received several ostrich eggs that were beginning to hatch and she was on her way to help out! This after telling everyone she was packing up her office as April 1st was her last day! Susan Rosenberg had a few pranks of her own this year!

Working inside the store we don't have enough time to play pranks on each other. It sure would be fun if we did. Wow that sounds like a lot of fun.

Spanish in a Hurry was so scary and funny at the same time! All I got this April Fool's Day was scotch tape under my mouse, which I figured out right away:) - thanks Jeff.

I haven't done anything in a few years because expectations were too high. I am laying low for a while and biding my time. Seriously.

The spanish prank was pulled off with great detail. I was new to the team at the time and totally bought it. Today's prank will go down as classic. My counterpart handled it very well too. It is awesome to work with great folks who have a great sense of humor. As part of the customer relations team, it has always been so much fun to see the pranks in action.
