A sliver of scotch tape over an ethernet cable is a good way to get the IT guy scratching his head for an hour or so.
We also came into work early and we would turn EVERYTHING upside down and then wrap it with sotch tape. We would tape the phone together, mouse, keyboard, chair, everything.
and our grand finale was bringing in enough packing peanuts to fill an entire cube. THAT was hilarious...but the guy we did it too got a little pissed lol

Doesn't it take longer to Tape everything up than it does to cut it off?
Can't you be more original for a grand finale?

reverse the X and Y axis for the mouse (If I remember correctly this only works on UNIX boxes, maybe it was older windows..)
Send in subscriptions to embarasing (for that person) magazines in the victim's name to his/her work address. Make sure to check "Bill Me".
In the military we used to get ahold of someone cover (hat). We had the type of vending machine where you would slide the small door open to get out a sandwich. The hat was placed in the most expensive slot. This worked well for the lower ranks as they never had $2.75.
A variation on the above was to mix some shredded paper and water, place hat in the middle and place in the freezer, this works the best at the beginning of the watch.
This next one takes time and energy. If they have a tool box, the bigger the better, drill and tap a hole, install a grease fitting and fill it with grease. Again, this only works if you have time, and a lot of grease.
Type up a fake promotions list with the victims name on it...this turned out to be even funnier when the Division Officer got in on it..
If they are not computer savy, find a pornographic sound bite and use that for the "you've got mail" sound effect. Even better if they only have internal speakers and you turn up the volume.

My mechanics will go to the soda machine and somehow put something in the edge of the Diet Coke button where it makes it stick. It makes it shoot out a Diet Coke, no matter which button you push. Don't ask me how, it just does. It's pretty funny.

AT WORK you only get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it yourself.
IN PRISON you get time off for good behavior.
AT WORK you get rewarded for good behavior with more WORK.
IN PRISON a guard locks and unlocks the doors for you.
AT WORK you must carry around a security card and unlock open all the doors yourself.

AT WORK you get fired for watching TV and playing games.

We used to do this to a friend of mine back in high school when everyone else was driving around crappy old cars/trucks, his folks bought him a few-year old yota 4x4.
So, like any good friends, we put it in the local "Buy Sell and Trade" classifieds for a rediculously low price, saying "Moving for work, must sell fast". The poor bugger would get upwards of 40 calls per day on the thing, at school, work, whatever. Best part is the ads run for 3 weeks and since you phone them all in with no registration or anything, you can't take them out at all.
Pretty funny thing to do to someone with a short fuse. "NO, THE &*#^ing TRUCK IS NOT FOR SALE!!!" 40+ times a day
