Had this coworker who was fanatical about many things, border line OCD. Every morning he would sharpen his pencils and clean his keyboard. So one night I put rubber cement in his pencil cup and put all 25 of his pencils(or whatever a box of them was). Next morning solid chunk he could not sharpen his pencils. Same guy went on vacation, had 5 plants in his cubicle he trimmed and watered daily. He asks the guy across the aisle to water his plants. I'm driving home and see these dead house plants on the curb for trash pickup, I throw them in the trunk and the next day take them work hide his nice pants and substitute these dead ones. Comes back from vacation and almost cried.
Another time on at a client with a co worker from consulting company. guys a piece of work constantly yapping on the phone we shared. Got so fed up one day I get an extra phone cord and pierce the wires with a straight pin and cut the pin off at the edges. Every time he leaves the office I switch cords and call the extension from elsewhere. The cord is shorted and he can't hear anything but calls the help desk, they come out he goes and lets them in key swipe entry , I quickly switch the cord back, nothing wrong. This goes on for like a month until finally one day his wife calls and he goes beserk because he can't hear her calling the other person names etc.. Had to give up then but never owned up to it.
Had a manager I reported to at another client that I knew really well, we changed all the associated application to certain keys on his keyboard so every time he would type a certain sequence, he loved windows keyboard short cuts, it would fire up the most bizarre applications, mostly kids things like reader rabbit and such. Funny thing is he had a large scale display behind him which showed everything and people would die laughing when that stupid animated rabbit would pop up signing.
Best one on me was ex wife, going in for a vasectomy day before she comes home and starts telling me about rebound sperm tension and the side effects etc.. Now she's an ER nurse so why doubt her, I was so worried and icing the apple bag and measuring etc. hoping not swell up and need them cut open. She owned up to after 2 days.
