Evil PranksAs a student Joel Veitch attached a hose from the sink into my bed. I slowly woke thinking I'd pissed myself. I had the last laugh though. He had to pay for my ruined mattress.
What's the most evil prank you've ever played on someone?

One from the files...Hi folks - I'm back. At least temporarily, probably just til the new year.
Not sure if this counts as evil, especially as it was an April Fool stunt, but it was certainly effective. Bit of background: I work in financial services and, as you will appreciate, the handling of sensitive data is something of an issue. So anyway, I was working in our Compliance area - dealing with complaints about mis-sold endowment policies. There are very strict rules about the length of time we have to reply to enquiries and then look into and deal with the complaint. There was a guy working there called Andy who packed it in and went off to Las Vegas one Christmas; the files for all his on-going cases were allocated to colleagues and we got him a card etc. End of story...
...come April I was plotting a series of pranks - most were pretty tame and involved putting an ad on our internal e-message board with silly ads e.g. 'Large pile of well-rotted horse manure free if you can collect' etc. But for our team leader I went a bit further. I went to our local market where a guy sold all sorts of tools and plugs etc. and bought a little ten-pack of craft files - a little flat file, half-round, triangular, rat's tail etc. Then I put them in the bottom drawer of Andy's old desk, which was still vacant. Then, with a serious face on, I went to our team leader's desk and said:
"Sharon, there's something you should see; I was just looking in Andy's drawers and I found a load of files." The look on her face was a treat - four months shut in a drawer!! This was a disciplinary matter. We went to his desk and I opened it up: took out the files and handed them to her...slowly the cogs started turning...then I said "April fool".
Ah yes, it went down in the annals of Compliance folk lore.
