Or, they could have twisted up some packets and put them under the feet of the toiled seat, so when he sits down they burst and spray ketchup all over his pants / dick.

Last year at work someone brought cream filled donuts, one of which was filled with mayo. I got that one. I haven't had a cream donut since.

I actually did think about that, but I only had one ketchup packet recovered from the prank because they threw it at me as I was leaving a room.

Ooh man that's a ballsy one.

They did hide one on the underside of the desk and one on the back of the monitor, but I found them pretty quickly when cleaning up.

I got my revenge on one of them by taking a packet and hiding it in her belongings, then asking her if she found it yet. She tore apart everything in her purse and even looked in her change of clothes and the boots she was wearing to see if I had slipped it in there somehow. She almost went out to check her car and spent the next hour freaking out about what terrible thing I had done with the ketchup. She even began theorizing that I hadn't hidden a ketchup packet at all and was just trying to drive her mad.

I put it in her travel mug, which she leaves in the fridge every day. She'll find it when she opens it to fill it with water again.

I used to know a guy who hated the word "hosed" because of a coworker who would use the word as her unhelpful diagnosis for various computer problems in the office he would have to solve. "Server's hosed again" yeah wow thanks for that report.

So I'd hide sticky notes with "hosed" on them in future pages of his calendar or behind stuff on his cork board or taped to the bottom of his mouse or wherever. It became a fun preoccupation to raid his poo poo whenever he was away from his cube.

The coup de gras: I got word that about a year after he left our office to work at a different company, he accidentally knocked his old Yahoo sports fantasy football trophy bobblehead off of his new HOSED-free desk and when the head popped off, a little yellow paper sproinged out next to the broken trophy, informing him again, simply, "HOSED."

Personal schadenfreude: some friends know that I don't like ketchup and turned it into a running gag. They had apparently been planning an April Fool's joke for a month related to it.

So I came into my office yesterday.

It took them a month to plan that?

I mean, it was probably a month of them talking back and forth about how good an idea it would be, and then the day before taking about fifteen minutes to run to the McDonald's or something and looting the ketchup.

They took a bunch from McDonalds, and the rest were random packets they had lying around their houses. The one I took to hide is the elusive black Popeyes packet.

Some bets the odds are so stacked in your favor you barely win anything. But you still lose everything.

In order to make lots of money off terrible odds you have to bet a ton, and then... :haw:

All that matters in this sort of underground gambling is that the result is easy to confirm and impossible to rig, the thing being bet on is meaningless

E: look up the history of numbers games if you're interested. You'd be surprised at the amount of creativity that has gone into coming up with 'random' numbers for gambling

I researched the numbers racket for a mobster-based tabletop RPG. They loved to use things like the last 3 digits of a US Treasury report. The amount of money you could bring in was huge compared to how much you had to pay out on rare wins.

From what I recall, that was fake. The company he claimed to place the bet with had a strict limit of a couple hundred bucks, not the thousands he claimed to lose, something like that.

And yeah as someone pointed out, he was scheduled to lose but got a concussion right at the start and they put on a real stinker, leading to all the "changed ending" rumors.

Yeah, he got plunked on his head and was on autopilot the rest of the match.

Yeah, I can't remember how he hosed it up exactly, since I haven't seen that match in years. Did he slip coming off or something? Or just overshoot it?

We had one installed inside for a college thing.

When they're outside you get to actually anchor them to the ground so they at least try to stay in place.

It took all of 5 minutes for a bunch of college kids to tip ours over and it resulted in a broken nose.
