So far...

UBS is seeking 15.1 billion in extra capital, leaving this a terribly boring topic, excepting the fact that that is not at all what this topic is about. It's about April 1st, April Fool's Day and disguised in this stupid and probably futile way to prevent the unintended exposure of any forum pranks.

Anyhow, the actual topic: What have you done so far / What do you plan to do?

So far I have...

Rigged the chairs in my office to sink when people sit in them.

Taken the ink out of the pens and the lead out of the pencils.

Turned the phone ringer volume all the way up on all the phones.

I put notebook paper in the printer because I was a tool and forgot to bring construction paper.

We have the pump handle coffee pots and I took out the mechanism. They can pump the handle all day and not get coffee until they find it and put that back in.

I deliver newspapers here, and they're either out of the way, if not hidden, and I put some of them on a much taller cabinet because the sometimes grouchy admin on that floor is short.

I'm thinking of switching out some of the identical cabinets in the office so they either won't open for a person or it will be the wrong stuff inside.

Salt in the coffee is always a good gag.

Our doors unlock by motion sensor or a button. Nobody uses the buttons. Putting a post-it note over the motion sensor has people yanking uselessly at the doors wondering why they won't open. The post-it says "April Fool's!" I hope we don't have a fire today.

Edit: Oh, and I convinced the guy who does the soda machine to mix them up so the wrong thing will come out a couple of times on each of the common ones like Coke, Diet Coke, and Mountain Dew. I'll reimburse anybody who gets a wrong one. I'm a big believer in lighthearted mischief and will not to permanent damage or cost anybody anything.

I usually wake up at about 4am and saran-wrap the toilet. If my mother hears the door latch,  like Pavlov's dog she will have to use the bathroom right now. If I need to go, no matter what time of night it is, if I spend more than 10min in there I will be kicked out. My rents have been seething with hatred towards me lately, so I decided against doing that again. 10 consecutive years was enough. I'll think of something less harmful later. 

Motion Sensor and coke machine are awesome.
