Surprise Mugs, For Subtle Office Pranks

Surprise-Mugs

By Chris Scott Barr

Being the awesome internet sensation that I am, I don’t work in an office like many of you likely do. I’m rather thankful for this, as it means I don’t have to deal with annoying people all day. Of course, it does limit the amount of inter-office pranks that I can pull. Here is a wonderfully subtle one that I would love to use on someone.

I have worked in offices before, and some people tend to assume that all coffee mugs are community cups. In fact, they usually belong to someone that gets frustrated when theirs turns up missing. Well if you’re one of these people, just purchase a Surprise Mug and leave it near the coffee pot. The Surprise Mug looks like a nondescript white mug. However, on the bottom is a cute little message that either says “I’m a twat” or “office bitch”. Even if it doesn’t stop the person from using your stuff, it’ll be $8 well spent.

    The only way to make this better is to make the ink heat sensitive so it only shows when someone puts hot coffee in it.
  • A 2 message sticker (hot/cold) you could slap on the bottom would be even better

    I've seen this one in a book I have, Cubicle Warfare, but in that book they trace out a naked chick then tape or glue it to the bottom. Cheaper..and funnier...
