Did this to an old boss. That is exactly what she did. She moved jobs and kept a pen holder with pens individually wrapped in foil from 2005 to 2019 including a company move and 6 or 7 office moves along the way. They were left and I inherited them when I later took over her responsibilities.
We got one of our younger coworkers years ago. He went on a 3 week holiday and while he was away we rebuilt his cube to child-sized dimensions, we even had the facilities crew help us out.
To add to the cost of mining, transportation, production, shipping, stocking, all that gas and diesel for all vehicles included plus maintenance on those machines, the amount of power it takes to run the factories where most energy is coming from some sort of fossil fuel burning...all to wrap objects in a office and then to be recycled AND all the energy it takes to pick up the recycling and the actual recycling process...Yeah it's a waste. I am surprised Reddit doesn't hate such wastefulness but alas is still funny!
I had something similar done to my desk once when it was noticed that I wasn't putting any money into the milk fund for our tea and coffee (despite me never having any) so I just said "Fine. I'll just refuse to work until this is taken down" Didn't take long for my desk to be put right
In my first IT job, one of our directors went on vacation. When he got back we had filled his entire office to the ceiling with wadded up pieces of green bar printer paper each about basketball size. When he opened the door to go in, about 20 pieces rolled out. He had to clear a path to his desk and then clear off his desk. It took him a couple of days to get it all out of there.
Once at work we had a co-worker leave when a hurricane was approaching- long before it was necessary. We used stretch clear plastic wrap over everything. When she returned she cried- showed what she was really made of!!
I bet your IT team/ guy hates you.
Funny enough; this is his office
IT guys hate this one weird trick!...
I am beyond curious on his orginal prank as to what provoked this response
He shredded a bunch of paper and spread it through the office
Hope you guys have a recycling bin lol
So long as the janitors aren't responsible for either sides messes I'm all for the prank war!
We clean everything ourselves!
Drat, foiled again!
This is my favorite comment joke
Angryupvote
Too much to tackle in one go - I think I would rip the foil on the front of the monitor and the top of the keyboard and just get on with my day.
That’s exactly what he’s currently doing
Thats what a guy did when I wrapped his office for Christmas. He only unwrapped his office as he needed what was wrapped up.

Thats incredibly bad for the environment, considering how much energy needs to be put into aluminium to recycle it 😐
Ch... Chrome
He ain’t got safari no more
...once again taking over all the resources
That looks expensive
Surprisingly yes, very expensive.
Honestly I think this would take more time to do than to clean, lol. Aluminum foil comes off pretty easily.
I came to say this!
You have way too much money. What an horrific waste of tin foil.
The folks over on
he should be happy the aliens cant control his thoughts anymore
[удалено]
Excessive ? Yes, but worth it for the look on his face.
Lots of attention to detail here. Bravo
Did you attach a live wire to the foil?
Not enough time, that and baby oil would have been a bonus
There are wires under the desk and on the left wall. Get back in there and do a complete job
If your coworker is a cat, he/she is totally screwed!
I dunno, claws vs foil will win, and a day of wild fun guaranteed
If there isn't a JiffyPop somewhere in there then you've failed.
I would leave as many of the nice shiny dust covers on as I could.
And now to pretend I'm on a space station.
Very original
“Sorry, boss. Can’t get to these tickets for 2hours as I’m cleaning up this super funny prank in my office…”
You’re assuming he does a lot of work to begin with 😂😂😂
Thanks for wasting aluminum.

You’re welcome Dave. It all went in the recycling bin.
For those of you wondering, 7 rolls of aluminum foil.
So, no Costco in your area, huh? :-)
I can imagine his reaction 😩
He laughed very hard, VERY hard
This is too much hardwork. According to me prank should be short and easy. That's just me haha
Fucking Cory and Trevor!
This picture looks like a studio picture from the 1930’s black and white tv...
if its touching an outlet and he turns on the power then you got yourself some burnt chicken
Possible bonus, do they pay for aluminium recycling around your parts?
Bonus points if your coworker is a cat. No way would they set foot in that office ever again.
Chuck's office
Wrapping up all that would've taken alot more effort than just tearing it off will.
I didn’t say how many layers :)

I’ve never really understood pranks like this because the person carrying it out has to do just as much work as the victim
I would walk in. Sit on my tinfoil throne. Rip the tinfoil off my monitor, mouse and keyboard and embrace my new role as the Lord of Chrome.
It's not that aluminum is rare or anything. Good day for the environment!
You do realize it’s the third most abundant resource we have right ?
I bet nothing gets done at this place
Surprisingly incorrect, we are in the top five revenue generating franchises out of 365, averaging well over 700k a month on a slow month.
When you take something too far:
First World problems
Meh, you would get zero reaction from me, I'd leave most of it wrapped up and just tear things away as I need to get to them
R/iamverybadass
Ha ha funny, let's waste resources for no reason... Transport, manufacturing, resource acquisition, and energy/heat.
You’re real fun at parties I bet.
Still not quite as evil as glitter, but a good job nonetheless!
We thought glitter might make him quit lol
I gotta ask how many rolls of tin foil you go through to do all this hahaha
Seven !
Be even funnier if you glued "Got ya" under the foil on his desk so it would come off easily
You know, that’s recyclable

Are you going to call for a prank truce?
No, we have to keep it fair and fun !
I can’t log into zoom today, WiFi issues!
Theeee futuuuuuuuure - the fuuuutuuuuuuuuuure
Turned his office to a grow room?
Next time shredded packing peanuts. It will be a year before its fully cleaned.
Curses! Foiled again!
By any chance ur name is Dwight scrute
Listen here, I can rattle on about Fuckin beets all day.
Any chance you guys work in Scranton, PA? Asking for a friend…his name is Dwight.
Actually, Stamford
Since I got my vacuum sealer I’m trying really hard not to seal everything my brother own
Meh, 4/10 wrapping job. Too many creases, looks way too rushed.
I’ll take the criticism, does it matter that we had very little time to do it ?
I wonder what the reception is like in that room now. Lol
We have entered the future!
It's like that one future Spongebob episode where everything is chrome
If he/she brought a sack lunch you could have wrapped it and made it look like an old school TV Dinner while they were busy sorting out their office.
Also fill the room with balloons- then as they excavate the foil is reveal to their dawning horror.
They pretty much get the day off to clean that shit up right?
We helped them clean it up
And one of those packages is his lunch, an he has 3 hours before the lasagna starts to stink his office.
I'm disappointed i can still se the walls

Little did you know you only saved them from the next major Solar storm.
It was a very carefully foiled plan
Kind of an expensive prank but funny. I would collect it and try to recycle it all. Lol
I did elf-on-a-shelf at my office a couple of years ago. Wrapped EVERYTHING in a colleague’s cubicle with Xmas paper.
Step up your game. Tin foil is easy. Do wrapping paper next time.
”Don’t worry, you’re safe from the aliens now.”
How long did this take you guys from start to finish? Asking for a friend..
FUTURE!!!
Tracy? Gordo? That y’all!? 😂 IYKYK
I did this to the inside of my friends car in High School. In summer. In 95 degree heat.
You've foiled their machinations.
When i was 5 my mom had me help her wrap 10 000 pennys for her sister's wedding gift.
Darn, foiled again.
I find this a little less practical yet more comfortable than a tin foil hat.
Insert gif of Squidward doing a crunch on the floor wailing, 'FUTURE'.
Nice chrome paint
Perfect time to paint the wall with dynamite
Is this Office episode? lol
Happy to say I know where it's been
The time and money you must have spent. Your coworker still wins
Not microwave safe
Great use of resources
Once at work we had a co-worker leave when a hurricane was approaching- long before it was necessary. We used stretch clear plastic wrap over everything. When she returned she cried- showed what she was really made of!!
You sure showed her! What an idiot she was for trying to beat an incoming hurricane…
Imo you should have done duct tape so it would be way more annoying to get off. Still a crazy way to enact revenge lmao.
