Funny Office Pranks That Went Too Far: Pakistani Edition
Office pranks have been an office pastime in offices worldwide for ages. They are a mix of humor that brings some fun and play to the otherwise grinding routine, creating unforgettable memories-or mild chaos. In Pakistan, where good-natured jollity and workplace amity often mix with pranks that have crossed the line from funny to outrageous, let’s dig into some of the funniest office pranks that, while intended to be lighthearted, definitely went too far!
The Great Chair Swap
Imagine this: it is just another ordinary Monday morning at one of Lahore’s fastest-paced marketing firms. A typical day is under way when one of the employees, Ahmed, decides to play what he thought was a harmless prank on his colleague, Sara. He quietly changes Sara’s ergonomic chair with an old squeaky chair from the storage room that everyone hated because it would make extremely embarrassing, extremely loud noises every time someone moved their weight around.
As Sara sat, the whole office exploded in laughter. Squeaks through the entire workspace were causing multiple side glances and giggling. However, the joke sort of reached serious backache by the end of the week when Sarah’s squeaky chair dragged her to the physiotherapist. Everyone who first found it funny allowed laughter to fade really fast when Sarah had to visit a physiotherapist. Ahmed learned the hard way to understand why even though practical jokes can be funny, they should never compromise on a person’s well-being!
The Enigma of the Disappeared Stapler
But that was just it. A group of friends decided to take pranking to the next level at an IT firm in Islamabad. It begins innocently enough with “hide the stapler.” One at a time, they moved their coworker Kamran’s stapler into increasingly absurd positions-under heaps of paper, inside the office printer, and even the lunch fridge. Each time Kamran found his missing stapler, he would laugh and join in on the fun.
Things became worse soon, though, when Kamran got fed up with the shenanigans and decided to retaliate. He snuck into their office in the middle of lunchtime and hid all their most favorite coffee mugs. They all came back to the office searching for the mugs only to find that they were stacked inside the ceiling tiles. Hence, the team learned a valuable lesson: when it comes to office pranks, revenge is a dish best served cold, and you might just end up starting a prank war!
The Sticky Note Explosion
In a Karachi corporate office, young intern Fatima thought it would be hilarious to cover her boss’s office with sticky notes while he was away for the day. She called her coworkers, and together they transformed the entire office into a colorful maze with a rainbow of sticky notes.
This prank was extremely eye-catching at first but fast got out of control. That was when his boss returned only to find himself shocked for a while by what he saw. His shock then turned to frustration as he found out that the sticky notes did not only cover his office but sticked onto his computer and important documents in general. The outcome includes hours of cleaning and serious talking-to from the department of human resources. Fatima thought of it as a joke that would bring everybody a smile. She really did not expect how it really went through – to teach her the lesson that pranks do have necessary cleanup plans!
The Classic Fake Meeting
Every office has that one colleague who never fails to call a meeting about a surprise ‘get-together.’ In this small design studio in Multan, the team had resolved to play a prank on their notoriously chatty colleague, Ali, by calling a fake meeting. They created a fake calendar invite and titled it “Mandatory Team Strategy Session”; this should have read out to everyone in the team, including Ali.
At the commencement of what all of them called the “meeting”, in the conference room, they all waited for Ali. And, when he walked into the room, he was greeted to a place filled with laughter and no agenda. Initially, he smiled along with them. While the jokes were repeated multiple times and the session went on for hours, he visibly became angry. To salvage his dignity, Ali walked out of the office, threatening to take them to HR for wasting his time.
To everyone involved in this prank, all was in good fun, but this one told how thin that line really is between humor and annoyance when talking about office pranks. Timing is everything, and not every joke is worth risking workplace harmony!
The Office Pet Takeover
In a creative agency in Peshawar, a group of coworkers decided to bring a bit of fun to the office by ‘adopting’ an office pet. There’s a mischievous parakeet named Chikki. Chikki was the time passer to start with. After some time, Chikki graduated as the office centre, where he wanted his share of treats and surely get the attention and create distraction from the meetings.
The team had decided on a prank of letting loose Chikki in the boss’s chamber when he is away. They were awaiting laughter at the catching of the flying bird by the boss but they had not anticipated the escape route of Chikki to the rest of the office. Chikki caused chaos as various employees scrambled to catch the feathery troublemaker who had perched itself on various heads, desks, and even the office coffee machine!
Then pandemonium broke out, feathers flying, and joyous laughter came from all corners. The boss, enraged by their invasion of birds at first, could not help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. They were even forced to hire a professional bird catcher to recover Chikki safely. The team understood that while pranks can bring laughs, they must always consider the potential for unintended consequences!
The Costume Dilemma
A small tech startup in Lahore was having a themed dress day among the software developers. They had agreed to come dressed as their favorite superheroes. Everyone made the effort-capes and masks except for one colleague, Bilal, who came in wearing a simple tee and jeans.
His colleagues decided to play a prank on him by “noticing” that it is actually a “villain day.” They played along with each other, complimenting one another for their wicked looks and giving Bilal a hard time about his lack of effort. But what began as a playful tweak of him went out full-blown roast within minutes, with jokes against his clothes and comments on his “inability to embody a villain.”.
Left out and humiliated in front of his colleagues, Bilal decided to have his revenge by dressing like the ultimate villain the following week – a giant inflatable sumo wrestler. As he hobbled around trying to fit through the door, laughter was transferred from him. This situation soon turned into a battle of wits with a playful scenario of joked and jests, yet the group realized that while jokes are indeed funny, they need to ensure all people laugh equally.
The Over-the-Top Surprise Party
In a busy call center of Karachi, a group of employees had planned to throw a surprise birthday party for their manager, Nida. So they got hold of that enormous balloon, cake, and all the necessary decorations, but then some bright idea came to them, telling everyone in the team that Nida was promoted besides leaving the company.
The moment Nida walked in everyone started cheering, pretending to say goodbyes. At first, Nida did not get the joke, but soon she did. But in good faith, she was really hurt, for she had thought that they were serious. She spent a few minutes unravelling her disorganized apologies, when the team finally explained that it was all in good fun. Although the surprise party indeed turned out to be a success, it also reminded everyone that sometimes jokes meant to lighten the mood sometimes inadvertently hurt feelings.
The “Emergency” Drill
At a financial firm in Islamabad, the HR department wanted to be on good terms by conducting a fire drill where everyone was supposed to understand the emergency procedures. But a section of workers thought it would be hilarious to plan a fake drill with fake alarm bells and exaggerated panic.
It was a quiet morning, and employees had just started taking their cups of coffee when suddenly the alarm sounded, and everyone started running in all directions, and even climbing over desks, scrambling to get out. The mayhem was indeed multiplied when some pranksters donned firefighter garb, complete with helmets and a mock hose, amidst the mayhem. A dose of hysteria proved contagious at first as the prank took a serious turn when the real fire department received a call regarding this “emergency.”.
Then, the fire brigade came in, and to their surprise, all the office members were in laughter. Everyone finally laughed it off, but the joke had already attracted undue attention that would have led to some stringent consequences. The teams learned that though pranks could be an entertaining way to lighten up the mood, safety always comes first!
