Blind Box Office Prank
My team was the only one in the company that hit its performance targets this year.
At the year-end party, the boss waited until everyone else had left, then he pulled out a big red box and had the four of us in my team draw blind boxes.

Haley Lambert, my teammate, drew a monitor covered edge to edge in scratches.
Drew Sandler got a keyboard with every letter worn clean off the keys.
Gabe Carell ended up with a grease-slicked wired mouse.
Our boss, Cyrus Griffin, clapped me on the shoulder, grinning drunkenly. "You young people love a blind box, right? It's all about that thrill of not knowing!
