I work for a small business, we got about 80 employees in the company. Much better than my old Govt. job, back there I had a tiny cubicle with an old machine that took about 10 minutes to start up in the morning. Now I got a nice smooth laptop with a 24" monitor and my own closed in office, very quiet and relaxing.
I've seen my fair share of office pranks and gags, but the most infamous is the packing peanuts gag. I've never seen this done in person, but I've been involved in threads where the topic starter pranks someone, takes pictures then updates with actual emails and streaming video of reactions. Quite hilarious.
I work for a small art/education office, with like 30 people or so. First time I've ever been in a professional work environment, and if this is what office work is really about then I'm stunned. I never do anything.. is that really how most office jobs go?
There are alot of office incidents that happen daily, but I'll roll with sexual harassment, seeing how that's what I come across most.

Hell yes, we get paid bank and do absolutely nothing, it's wonderful! In all seriousness though, this work has a lot of ups and downs. Sometimes you have a lot of downtime waiting for someone to get back to you with data, or sometimes you have a week to get something done between meetings that's only really an hour or two of work. Then there's deadlines, and sometimes you can be really busy right before those...
I work in a relatively small company (~20 people), and have my own office.
Jonas, you're not extra busy before the deadlines if you don't procrastinate
Fris, it depends on what kind of professional job you have. In a small engineering firm it's all about getting shit done, so we can have a large number of contracts supported by a small number of people. Even we have some downtime, though.
I guess I work in an office. I work for my dad, but it's more of a warehouse... which has a few desks/offices at the front. There's only about 7-9 people working there (depending on how you count it).
We can't really do any pranks because it is so small and my dad (the boss) is always around
Work in an office which I share with another person. I have the "ninja" seat though, which means I am furthest from the door and facing it. No one can see my monitor.
I used to have an officelike job. Sure, my office was my van, but there was a home office to go to if I felt like taking 130 mile trips. I still have a bagfull of their stuff, some I don't even want to guess the price for...
HAHA... that picture reminds me of my first semester in college in big apartment style dorm house. This guy on our floor was a total AssHat and he wouldn't open his door when all of us were calling him out on something he did that pissed us all off. So we took big sheets of butcher paper and taped them like a big bubble over his door with the top open we all started popping popcorn and we filled that bastard all the way to the top... when he finally opened his door it all fell right in on him, ah good times...
