An Incident of Workplace Trickery: April Fool's

United States
April 1, 2016 8:25am CST
Someone in my office generously set out a box of donuts for coworkers to share. When said coworkers opened the brightly colored bakery box...they discovered a veggie tray instead!

Good idea. It's one of the best workplace pranks I've seen in awhile.

@DaintyD I'd say their moms wouldn't be proud to see such a lack of enthusiasm for veggies.

That would probably be the best way to make sure you actually get donuts.

Everyone laughed at the switch, but by the end of the day, the veggies were all gone!

It was both--but mostly funny. It gave everyone something to chatter about too.

That wouldn't work on me as I do not eat donuts these days. What were the veggies? I do like a stick of celery or a carrot baton or two. Yum!

Vegan donuts? Any office mate with obesity problems?

Haha. They were just plain old carrot and celery sticks. They were fresh and crisp, though. No obesity problems here--just maturity problems.
