Todays my last day at work! Should I go postal!?!??!
Today is my last day at my old job. I'm moving and so I had to quit. I hate it. I have to get up every morning at 3:30-4 o'clock to get their ontime and they treat everyone like crap. Any suggestions on if I should pull a prank or something?

1. Do you need them for a reference?
Will you ever run into any of them again, in the future?

I have lived long enough to know that burned bridges can come back to haunt you when you least expect it.

Find an intelligent way to let them know that you did not like it that they treated everyone like crap.

Do you have a new job?

Good luck with the move!

4. A few pop into my mind
Ketchup packets underneath the toilet seats towards the front of the seat - underneath the raised sections. Done properly, they'll squirt only with the pressure of someone sitting down and hopefully into their underwear. You could probably also get some minature tubes of Ben-Gay or Icy-Hot and unscrew the tops and do the same and hope it gets on their legs.

If the managers all have offices and keep their doors shut, tie a rope on one doorknob then loop it around all the others.

Replace the caffeinated coffee with de-caf and the the de-caf with triple-caffeinated.

Show up in a bathrobe, slippers, and shower cap. Carry a back scrub brush for full effect.

In college, I found elevators to be a huge source of amusement since any deviation from normal elevator etiquette tends to weird people out. My friend and I played chess in them in the dorms, ignoring everyone who came in. I got an old toilet and dropped my trousers and sat on it while the elevator was called to different floors, and I would yell at people for invading my privacy. The one thing I never did that I wanted was to get a white lab coat and a clipboard and just stand in the elevator and "take notes" on people as they came in. If they make comments, just mutter, "Interesting..." and scribble faster.

If possible, plug everyone's keyboard into the computer of the person on the other side of their cube wall. That way, what they type shows up on the other person' computer.

Do a magic trick - I suggest Penn and Teller's "God of Carbonation" trick that ends up with your squirting soda onto whatever person helps with the trick. Briefly put - claim you can move the disturbance from one can of cola to another. Have someone shake one can as long and as hard as they can. Take it back and do hand gestures over the two cans for at least 25 seconds (all canned soda settles down within that time frame). Point the shaken can towards the head of your "assistant" and have him or her open it - nothing happens. Claim the disturbance is in the other one now and point it towards their face and have them open it. Press your thumb as hard as you can on the side of the can while they're opening it, and it will spew out all over them. Make them bow down before the God of Carbonation.

5. Love the elevator tricks!
Only one I've ever done is get in and face backwards...away from the door. You're right, people get very uncomfortable.

Another fun one: Go to the bathroom after you see a coworker go in...or just hang out in the stall if you have a book. Put a couple of oranges or apples in your pocket. Stand in the stall, hold the fruit at shoulder height, and release. After the loud splash, emit sounds of great contentment. I did that in my freshman dorm. Pretty damn funny.

7. I should mention
That the toilet in the elevator thing was an impromptu contest between me and a high school/college friend. His contribution for the night was to take poster tack and put his shoes on the ceiling of the dorm lounge and get down on the floor and hold his head and moan whenever someone walked by. Some people got the joke, but because of our reputation and my story about developing a really strong adhesive in chemistry, we had three separate groups of at least 10 people in each group believing he was really hanging upside down from the ceiling, and I dropped him on his head when I was trying to take him out of his shoes after he was upside down on the ceiling. It didn't occur to anyone to try to take his shoes off of the ceiling.

We had a lot of fun. If we hadn't been poor college students, we could have had a lot more. We liked messing with the RA minds like during St. Patty's Day, we sat in the lounge drinking a ginger ale that looked remarkably like beer. Two RA's accused us of drinking outside of our rooms, and at least two drunks insisted that we share our stash.

10. Well, being two non-drinking people
On campus as well as just general wise-asses made us do things out of boredom. My friend told me after I graduated that several people in Student Government Association were afraid of me because they were scared I would come to the meetings and cause trouble, and I don't think any of the RA's recovered from my climbing the walls to the ceiling (halls were so narrow that you could jump up in the middle and slam your hands and feet onto opposing walls and then climb up) and then dropping down on them when they came out of the bathroom.

My friend and I took a lot of inspiration from the book, "If At All Possible, Involve a Cow," which was a history of college pranks that the campus bookstore was foolish enough to sell. :)

12. Go Postal.
Ride your bike there, and tape bottle caps to the bottom of your shoes so they go "clop-clop" like Lance's shoes do....
