Foiled!

That's right. My team and I tin foiled a fellow designer's cubicle. So here's the background: a fellow designer left for vacation this past week. He intends to return the Tuesday after Christmas. What he doesn't even know yet is that my boss, fellow designer and myself used over 500 square feet of tin foil and wrapped up EVERYTHING in his cube!

The pictures don't do it justice... We wrapped it all -- his phone, the mirror, his headphones, his hat, the action figures, the papers on his desk even the trash under it. We started around 3pm Wednesday afternoon and spent 3-4 hours wrapping. Then on Thursday we spent the entire day finishing it up.

$25 of tin foil and only 1.5 days of time ... not to shabby if I may say so myself. You can view all the pictures here:

Note - I'll be setting up a webcam and recording his reaction when he returns so SSSHHHH! don't tell him =)

We actually did that to an R.A. last year. Wrapped everything. Individuals pencils in his drawers, pieces of candy in a bowl on his desk, food in his fridge, blanket, clothes, everything.

"Let's waste a whole bunch of foil for a stupid prank and then throw it out when we are done! What a waste! "

Yeah cause there's a national shortage of foil.... get real retard.

Oh no you discovered the source to my power.

For the paltry amount of 'funny-ness', it is a stupid waste of resources. Romanticizing this type of behaviour is irresponsible.

It never ceases to amaze me that people can try ruin a great prank like this with talk of responsibility. May you die having never laughed.

[Extra Character]

It's great to be able to do this and get paid at the same time.

These pictures have been floating around the net for years. This didn't happen last week and these aren't your pictures. Plagarist and a liar.

This is absolutely hilarous. We need to do this to someone here!

Philistine! Your bombastic tirade belies your true intelligence.

It's an office prank, get over it.

That's practically a joke. But whoever is sitting in that cubicle is looking at this post, probably already know what to expect when he returns.

I think the guy talking about "resources" has missed the point that Al is the most abundant metal on the planet...

[alphageek]

[insomniac]

all the people who think its fake... go to the flickr and look at the exif info for the pics... im sure theres a way to spoof it, but for someone who just wants to take credit for the actions, i doubt they would go to those lengths.

use the power of the interweb to find the truth.
