Reply #33: I did this to a friend at my college Internship [View All]

[RetroLounge]

I was interning at a large bank in college. One of my computer duties was ordering, receiving, building, installing hardware and software. So I got LOTS of boxes with LOTS of packing peanuts. I saved them in an extra storeroom for months and months. The senior person in my department, a gentleman whon I am still very good friends with today, 15 years later, sat one cubicle over.

On my last day, after everyone had left to go to the bar for MY party, I went back in and filled his cubicle to desktop level with packing peanuts, using a cardboard sheet to make a door.

Not only did he have to wade thru 3 feet of them to get to his desk, but AFTER he had cleaned it all up (I saved the empty boxes for him, I'm not that mean) and began working he discovered the desk drawers were full too. Then he cleaned that up.

and then he reached up to open the overhead cubicle cabinets and peanuts poured down on his desk and head.

He had a few kind words for me...
