Because we change our cleaning service so much at work, A favorite of mine 
is to leave an old pair of work boots with legs of jeans  connected to the 
boots in the bathroom at work. if all goes well, it looks like someone has 
been sitting on the pot and never makes a sound. We once had a cleaning lady 
wait an whole hour befor someone let her in on the prank.
