Making My Boss Think He's Crazy

I have this awesome boss who can take jokes just as well as he dishes them out so you can imagine our offices are very fun to work in.

One of his biggest pet peeves is crooked pictures on the wall. It will drive him literally insane.

So one day, we were meeting in his office and he was joking around as always making everyone laugh and me. So, as revenge, while he wasn't looking, I knocked the picture behind me off center just a tad. During the meeting, he kept looking at the picture frowning. I know it was driving him crazy. Finally, he got up and fixed it. The next morning, I snuck into his office and tilted the picture again. By noon, it was fixed. While he was at lunch, I did it again - this kept on for about a week.

By Friday, he was in is office adding another nail. When I asked him what he was doing, he stated the picture won't stay straight. After that, I waited a few days, then tilted another picture slightly. To add to the effect, I tilted his clock the same amount so when you looked at the wall, both the picture and clock looked straight...but something about it didn't look right at all. It wasn't until you looked at the adjoining wall you could see they weren't straight.

Over the next couple days, I'd see him standing up staring at the wall frowning trying to determine the problem. He finally took both the clock and the picture down and hung them back up - straight. So I moved them again. He finally figured out they weren't straight and he joked around with my co-worker that shared a the wall with him that she needed to stop slamming her file cabinets.

One day, when he left for lunch, i snuck in there and tilted the pictures again. To my surprise, he forgot his palm and had come back to get it and I got caught. We both had a good laugh and he told me I got him good. He told me he thought he was going crazy!
