This one is kinda funny...did this a few months ago to so dumb bitch
Do a "Print Screen" of the user's desktop, and then paste the image from the clipboard to a photo program, and save the image as a bitmap. Then, set the 'snapshot' of their desktop as the actual desktop wallpaper. The user will see their desktop as always, but everything on it will appear to be frozen when they try to click on it...sending them into a rebooting and virus scanning fit!

That's cleaver.I don't work in a office, but I assume it's a fast way of getting fired. Anyways...
1. Go into MS Word or similar program on co-worker's computer, and add an entry to the AutoCorrect feature. This is a very simple prank that will send the novice user into frenzy. Configure the AutoCorrect option to replace the word "the" with the phrase "you suck!" They will usually panic and start scanning for viruses.
2. Take clear tape and tape the underside of the mouse. Make sure you take the sticky end of the tape and apply it to the bottom of the mouse so it locks the ball in place. The victim will most likely check the connections in the back, reinstall drivers, reboot, etc. before they realize what has happened.

Find a flashing, full-screen "I AM GAY" Flash executable that sounds an alarm when it's launched (there's a lot of shit like this online you can download.) Put it in their startup folder. Unplug their speakers, and hook up a second set of speakers under their desk behind their machine, that way when they turn their speakers off the sound keeps coming.
Open their machine and pull something out of it.
Log on to their computer and uninstall everything you can before they get back.
If you use Microsoft Exchange Server for your e-mail, get on their machine and add yourself as a Delegate. You should have access to their e-mail after that.
Leave an anonymous note on their desk when they're at lunch about their bathroom habits, maybe about not flushing the toilet, not washing their hands, or tell them to stop jacking off in the bathroom. Use a company letterhead and make it sound official.
If they leave their desk and have an e-mail that they're still writing open, randomly enter text somewhere but don't overdo it and they probably won't see it before sending it out. Depending on what it's about, doing something like changing SHOULD to SHOULDN'T or WILL to WON'T can create several hours of extra work... Or you can just replace certain words with "SHIT," slang words, etc.
Leave open candy somewhere on Friday after work and on Monday morning they should have a trail of ants leading to their desk.
Get on their computer and reply to all the penis enlargement spam.
Get a picture of them, put it on FaceTheJury or HotOrNot or something and write whatever kind of profile you want, then send it to your co-workers.
When they leave their computer, click the Show Desktop icon to minimize everything. Change their wallpaper (I recommend Japanese shit porn,) and hit Show Desktop again to put everything back. If you're lucky they'll close their windows when someone is around.

Shake your head, and resume hitting the space bar on your keyboard. Keep doing this until you've deleted about a page of your neighbor's document. Then, suddenly exclaim: "Well, whaddya know? I've been hitting the space bar this whole time. No wonder it wasn't deleting! Ha!" Print out your document and leave.

Two words: Tesla Coil.
Here's what we did on April Fools day:
We put an ad up on Craigslist for a co-workers car - of course we didn't tell him. He had a '99 Camry and we put it on Craigslist for $250 and we put his direct line on the ad. It wasn't even 2 minutes after the ad officially goes up before he started getting calls. They kept comin and he eventually figured out it was an April Fools gag. Then we turned it around on the people calling in. Here's one of the conversations with a caller:
Ring Ring
Me (answering the phone): What day is it?
Dumbass caller: Uhh ... Friday.
Me: What month is it??
Dumbass caller: April.
Me: What day of the month is it???
Dumbass caller: It's the 1st.
Me: Ok .... *giving Dumbass caller time to get the joke*
Dumbass caller: Yeah ... I'm calling about the car.
Me: Yeah I know, but what day is it?
Dumbass caller: Are you selling a car or what??!
Me: Yes but first you have to tell me what day it is.
Dumbass caller: April 1st .. OHHH!!! Fuck you, you asshole - I knew it!
Me and my co-workers: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Had to share that one. We did that shit for about 2 hours before we just started letting the calls go to voicemail. Where I work, there's a day shift and a night shift. We switched the name on the ad to the guy that works the night shift and when he came into work he had about 50 messages about whether he was selling his car. Beautiful.
