Best one I ever had going.
Old office had a communal fax machine and people actually used to still fax things then. If you wanted to do a modern version of this, you'd need to have a communal copier, and a sight line to it.
Required Materials:
1 spool white thread
A couple paper clips
1 realistic looking plastic spider... preferably one of those tarantulas that isn't too huge... maybe a 3 incher. Too big loses believability.
Tie thread off to spiders butt, so it kinda looks like a strand of web.
Put paperclips into ceiling tiles, bent a little down, so you can route the thread through them. Arrange it in such a way that you can lower and raise the spider from a decent enough distance as to not be obvious you're doing it.
Once you're set up, raise the spider so it is up high on the ceiling. No one will notice this for some reason, at least not in my experience.
Wait for someone to start using fax, or copier. Wait until they're hitting buttons and looking at the tiny display screen intently, that is the best time, when their focus is down. Lower the spider. Not too fast, but not super slow either.
I must've done this to 30+ people in my old office. I'd say about 25 screamed. One hit the thing and jumped back. Two had handfuls of paper that went flying. Many yelled obscenities. It was freaking awesome. Highly recommend.
