All annoying coworkers and jerk face bosses beware, we have entered the age of extreme office pranks. Since work seems to be the place that causes us the most stress, it's only fitting that be the place we relieve it.
Remember when using an entire stack of Post-it notes to 'redecorate' a colleague's desk was considered an extreme office prank? Well nowadays you've got toilet seats covered in thumbtacks and popcorn or balloon-filled cubicles. My favorite extreme office prank has to be the keyboard and mouse covered in a Jell-O mold.
