OH, Designer/Developer
Those of you who work in the web development area probably know, that firefox and explorer parse css in a slightly different ways.
Things were looking perfectly fine in Firefox, but in IE the layout was a little bit off. (margins of the blocks).
I asked my dev - "could you make sure the layout in IE is straight as well" She - "No, because It will damage alignment in Firefox". She never heard of IEfix. Francly I can't work with her anymore.

photoshp firefox stupid developer
Some image was visible in Firefox, but didn't show in IE. Our "developer" asks me - "Is there and option in Photoshop to make the image visible in both Firefox and Explorer?" and she is actually a web developer in our company. lol

In this video, I piled a few (3) empty water containers (huge 20 liter ones) on the bathroom door while a colleague was inside... I did it later with 4!

This is my remote controlled fart machine hidden under a colleague's desk (at the accounting department).

My colleague was distracted for a few seconds and I just placed a plastic finger near her tea cup and got the camera hidden to shot this video (nice scream):

Zubi was the victim again this morning.
While she was away from her desk for a few minutes:
* I stole her bowl of cereals with banana slices.
* I took a picture of the real cereals (from the top).
* I printed the “paper cereals” and cut them out.
* I put them in an empty bowl (with spoon and all).
* I place the fake cereals in the same place where the others were.
Result: When Zubi gets back to her desk to continue her tasks and breakfast, it was priceless to see her face (for 20 seconds or so), trying to figure out what was wrong, with kind of an “am I getting insane?” expression. Eventually after a few more seconds she looked at me and it was impossible to disguise my guilty face.

I already saw the same "printer takeover" prank on the site but I guess it would be nice to had my pictures. This was on April Fools earlier this year (more details about the prank and the script to do it in its post):
