This was our second and most time-consuming prank of the four executed this past week. Using 5,300 Post-It Notes (248.45 square feet of the little suckers), a number of co-workers and I coated my co-worker‘s office in yellow sticky goodness. Wednesday after work we began this prank with a mere 1,400 Post-It Notes but after an hour and a half found that I had purchased too few. We continued the following day with another 4,900!
The participants in this prank were primarily me, Al and Cliff. Also making an appearance to help were: Casey, Abby, Ted (our Systems Group Manager) and his family.
5,300 Post-It Notes is a nice large number with a lot of repetitive motions…rip, stick, press; rip, stick, press. The application went a great deal faster than we all expected, however, we had a lot of surface to cover. We promptly found out that Post-It notes didn’t like sticking to the door, to the chairs, or the ceiling…but we shoved notes wherever we could. On and under desks, bookcases, toys, bottles, monitors, a fan, a globe, white boards, etc. Anything that would accept a Post-It Note received one.
This prank rivaled the Tin Foil prank. The final result looked amazing and really brightened up Zach’s blue room. I considered this one a pretty good accomplishment once it was finished. Check out the full gallery here!

[…] Donkey Kong was a great game and one that I loved to play. However, someone took the love of the game further than most normal people. In spite of their intensity, this is an amazing image of level 1 made from Post-it Notes. […]
[…] 2. Post it Notes – The number two simple invention is none other than post it notes. Without these little jewels, most offices would cease operation. Such a simple idea turned into a multi-million dollar dream. Our office is so heavily reliant on post it notes, I think I could sell them to people for 10 cents per post it when they are needing their fix. Not only are they handy to write on, they are particularly useful for pranks. […]
[…] have some experience with Post-It Notes in the office, and though that achieved international recognition, it doesn’t quite compare to what we see […]
That is one pretty amazing prank! Another great one is to scotch tape your colleagues mouse, it will still work but not very well. Guaranteed to drive them insane!
