I once had a job where a coworker of mine always brought a banana to work every day. Every day when he wasn't around (and he wasn't around at the same time every day I was around) I gained acess to his banana and used a paper clip to slice it into many pieces while he was gone. He admitted he was really angry that his banana was sliced with the people he had lunch with every day (I was there). He at first blamed his wife for purchasing subpar bananas -- but when she switched supermarkets and the bananas still fell apart he started to suspect coworkers .

He started to lock his banana in a desk drawer and I had let enough people who watched this every day to know this joke and one person showed me how to pick his desk drawer lock so I could continue to screw with his banana.

The upside was every day he peeled his banana it fell into sections. The part I still feel a bit guilty with is he always blamed his wife for buyng subpar bananas when I sliced his bananas up every day.

It was funny.

Everyday at lunch he would go off on a rant that his wife didn't know how to pick good bananas. I almost apologozed to his wife at this guys retirement party but I truly felt he might try and kill me if he found out it was me who was cutting his banana all those years.

All that work and he didn't even appreciate that there was something supernatural going on!
