Step 1
Enlist some help
Ask a few coworkers to get in on the joke with you; you’re going to need a lot of hot air to pull this one off.
-
Step 2
Buy balloons
Buy several dozen balloons. Exactly how many you need will depend on the size of the victim’s workspace.
-
Step 3
Pick a night
Pick a night when all the volunteers can stay after work to blow up the balloons.
-
Make a party out of it by providing some snacks and drinks.
-
Step 4
Tape up the entranceway
Use packing tape to seal up the entranceway of the cubicle so the balloons will stay inside.
-
Step 5
Fill the workspace
Fill the workspace with balloons. Ideally, you’d like the balloons to come to the very top of the person’s cubicle, or at least desk height in an office.
-
If you don’t have the time or breath for balloons, use packing peanuts, plastic cups or cardboard boxes.
-
Step 6
Be a Good Sport
After you get the pleasure of seeing your prank pay off, be a good sport and offer your target a little help in dealing with his buried work space.
