In high school we put some cheese in someone's locker.It reeked by the end of the day. I put garlic powder in a friend's shoes once.Also reeked by the end of the day. I remember a fellow co-worker that pulled a prank on our boss one time.He took a tube of chocolate cookie dough and shaped it into a turd.He then set it on the toilet seat and went to get the boss to show him what some customer had done in the bathroom.Once in the bathroom my buddy goes to grab it and our boss yells "Don't touch it!" He then proceeds to pick it up and start eating it.Our boss totally freaked out....so gullible.
Gotta love how even in year 2005, just about anything can still be topped by eating (or in this case simply pretending to eat) shit.
I work in a general office type of place and we had a guy that thought himself a great prankster. He started his final prank round with some noisemakers. Little electronic things that would make a chirp. Damned annoying. Then he got a shock pen. It looked like a nice fat ballpoint, but when you'd go to open it, you would get a little shock. He moved the pen from one person to another for about a week, laughing and thinking that he was great. Then it came to me. I found it at my desk and returned it to him, telling him that I didn't want to play his game. A few days later it showed up again. I returned it again telling him that it wasn't going to get me, and to quit. The next week there it was again. To end the game I decided to go all out to retaliate. At lunch I took one of the disposable pens from his desk, pulled out the guts, and put a pull snap firecracker in it. After lunch he got a phone call from a client, and went to write a note. Since he had the phone in one hand he put the pen cap first in his mouth and pulled. Explosions, albeit in small scale, directly next to your face tend to make for profane speech. Doubly interesting when you are on the phone with a client. Pranks in the office were then forbidden, and I never fessed up to it until he left the company.
I know you have more in you than those... Anyway, in chronological order. - Duct taped one of my co-workers to his chair. Kicked him towards the elevator and pushed the down button. - Seran wrapped my co-workers desk for being on sick leave for more than 2 weeks. Biohazard! - Wrapped my boss' desk, chair, drawer, pens, stapler, EVERYTHING in aluminum foil.
Convincing a fellow employee that you need to routinely refill the "laser fluid" so that the barcode scanners work properly. But not stopping there... creating a fake product label for this fake "laser fluid" and putting it on a bottle of rubbing alchohol. Then get him to ask his boss how to do it.
- Gift wrapped my friend's car in his own garage. - Plastic wrapped my other friend's car in the parking lot of his work in the middle of a shopping plaza on a saturday afternoon.
I can just imagine you doing this one night, and for you to be just a little to slow on swinging the door open, so that when you do, you hit one of the poor kids. I can just imagine his little three foot six inch body being flung over the railing of your porch as he is propelled by a suddenly opened door. Then his friends would either applaud or run away screaming. Either one. That. Took balls. I congratulate you, sir, on being awesome. Anyways. I've only ever really done one prank. And I've managed to pull it off each and every time. Whenever we go to a resturant, my Mom and Dad get a Diet Pepsi or a Coke. I get Dr. Pepper. My Mom despises the taste of Dr. Pepper. It doesn't make her nausecous, but the taste of it just really appalls her. So, occassionally, I'll poor Dr. Pepper in her cup, which of course she doesn't notice because the two drinks look so alike. And then she takes a nice big 'refreshing' swig. Cussing from her, and uproaring laughter from me then ensue. Hah! Riveting isn't it? I'm just the epitome of excitement.
I used to frame houses and any time we'd get a new kid on the crew we'd send him out to the tool trailer/bosses truck to look for things like "board stretchers" (in case they cut something short), "sky hooks" (for working on the roof), and "power hammers" (for helping them drive nails better). Not everybody fell for it but most would spend a few hours digging around for shit that didn't even exist!
I've never really pulled any pranks of my own, aside from one attempted one that, looking back, was incredibly lame. One of my best friends when I was about 9 would always play jokes on me, and when his birthday came around, I wanted to get back at him. I was getting him a computer game (Lego Island Xtreme Stunts), and decided to trick him by putting the box (the size of a DVD box) into a huge cardboard box and filling it with packing peanuts. I even wrote in my card that I did it intending to get back at him (I was too embarrassed to read it myself, so his dad read it, before he opened the present). I do have a great story of a prank that I witnessed, however. I took Chinese in ninth grade (still do), and tons of people in that class loved to joke around. Keeping an unruly class under control was never the teacher's strong suit, and her English isn't the best. Near the end of the year, the three biggest pranksters conspired to install a program called AirMouse on the teacher's computer, which would let them control it via iPhone. The installation of the program was one of the best parts. They did it when the computer screen was being projected on the wall behind the teacher. If she simply turned around, she would have easily seen it, but everyone distracted her by asking her questions. Once they got it working, they made her computer go crazy, randomly starting up iTunes, switching Powerpoint slides, and things like that. After a few days of this, she had one of the school's tech specialists look at it, and he found nothing wrong. This went on for a few more days, and he found out what had happened after looking at it again. The very best part, however, was when one of the students (who hated the antics of the others) tried to tell the tech specialist what happened, and he responded that he thought the student "[knew] too much".
pranks ive pulled tieing a fish to some ones muffler gets real bad after a while and its one of the harder placeses to track down glad wrap over the toilet bowl not the set switched the suger and salt removed the wireing from a cord to stop the electronical devise from working they kept playing music to loud at 10pm at night changed some ones keys on there keyboard so when they type s they get l and so on
I can imitate a lot of animals and such, but my favorite is bird chirps. I used to work at my local college at the student support place (basically glorified office work) and I had the cleaning lady searching for a rogue bird. For. Weeks. I thought she was gonna KILL me when she found out it was me. Another thing I've done is say "Subway" while answering the phone. I've pissed off a LOT of relatives with that one.
Back in the day my friends and I "borrowed" another friends goat loaded it on the back of a truck and drove to the closest drive through McDonald's and had the goat do the ordering (this was before they had a drive through camera). God that drive through attendant was confused. An old Army "prank" we used to pull was take an MRE heater and collect the mini bottles of Tabasco sauce. When you had about 6-7 bottles you would pour the Tabasco into the heater and slide it under someone else's tent. Everyone would come out choking and gagging from the fumes lol good times. Or give a butter bar lieutenant a ball pein hammer and a piece of chalk then have them tap the armor of the tank and mark the places that sounded different as "weak" spots lol. The tank would have marks all over it until someone would ask what the hell they were doing and they would have to clean it for being that stupid. Though the one that I found the most humorists was to have them jump up and down on the back of an Abrams tank to "test" the suspension. Like a 180-200 lbs guy is going to move a ~68 ton tank.
Haha, we did the tabasco heater when a truck in our platoon broke down in Iraq. They were waiting for KBR to show up for a tow and we came up next to them like we wanted to bum some smokes and dropped it right next to their truck. Chuck
Ah yes, the classics. Don't forget chem light batteries, getting engine exhaust samples (nothing like seeing a private behind the tank with a plastic bag trying to collect exhaust and watching the bag melt!), "squelch juice", looking for a PRC-E7, summer air vs winter air in the HMMWV tires, etc. etc. That said pranks could backfire, like when we sent a new private to get a box of grid squares. Little bastard cut up the LT's map and brought it back to us.... The One-Delta-Ten-Tango form was a good one to send Soldiers after. As was the Bravo-Alpha-Eleven Hundred-November with string attachment and helium filler. One kid got all the way up to the brigade maintenance shop before they told him to pound sand I didn't pull this one, but my favorite was in Korea, where we had the old M1A1 tanks. Out in the field, I remember seeing my platoon leader climbing around the platoon sergeant's tank, and for some reason he had a can of Kiwi shoe polish with him. Since I was busy with getting my vehicle ready to go, I kind of brushed it off. Well, after the mission (one of the most fun experiences I've ever had as a tanker), we're all dismounting our vehicles for the after action review, and I saw my platoon sergeant getting down - he had this huge black circle around his right eye! And I suddenly knew what the LT used the Kiwi for. He had smeared it all over the black pad surrounding the .50-cal sight inside the M1A1 turret! So every time the platoon sergeant put his eye up on the sight, he just added to that black ring! He got the LT back, but that's a story for another time...
Don't forget about flipping peoples rank upside down on their covers when they leave them laying around. And their name tapes with the ACUs. I got my Commanders cover and flipped his nametape upside down and he didn't notice for three days. I had to pull gate gaurd for our living space during some field training and the guy with me bet me to use the words cunning linguistic real fast together (so it sounds like I say cunnilingus) on my next challenge. So a HMMWV pulls up and I approach and with out looking (mistake) I said "If I was a better cunnilingus I could come up with a better challenge for purple." I looked into the truck to see the passenger, a MSGT staring bullets at me and a Colonel who was driving laughing his sack off. The colonel just said the codeword without using a sentence. They needed a ground guide so the MSGT got out and I started to walk away and only got a few steps before the MSGT called me over and told me "Specialist, the challenge word is never the first or last word and don't pull something like that in front of the Colonel again." Chuck
Well the door opens inward, so when the kid teleports into my house where the door could hit him, I'll be too astonished to actually do it.
