best prank/practical joke you've ever pulled

mandysmear

so the H and i are having FB wars.  we know each other's passwords and our lap top has auto save on passwords.  so we have been breaking into each other's FB and messing around changing each other's statuses and I also added a bunch of friends for him.  bahahahahaha. 

his current status "mr. smear is totally on team Jacob!" 

he changed my status to something about having a sex change done.  my male parts arrived in the mail today.  jackass.

oh and then i changed the password to his and my email and facebook...  that way he can't get a new password emailed to him.  i think i win the war.    for now.  who knows what he has planned.  ::shifty eyes::

what's the best prank you've done to someone?  i want some ideas for april fool's.

Actually this was done to me, but it was epic.

A good friend of mine and I had been engaging in a prank war of sorts. We were about 16 at the time. Around 2 a.m.  on a Saturday night I get a phone call, informing me to check my car when I get home. (This also happened to be the first night I drank, ever.) My best friend drives me home, and we go look in my car. Sitting on my seat is a huge, live lobster. The lobster is pissed off. I try to get it out with a shovel, lobster tries to pinch the shiit out of me. They also smeared dead fish all over my car.

My friend had a roommate who kept stealing her food, so we baked laxative brownies.  In our defense, we covered them in saran wrap and wrote a note that said, "Hey guys, don't eat these, I have to take them to class tomorrow."

Labeled everything in my boss's office with sticky notes.

Ok, not everything, but probably around 200 things.  Things in drawers, ceiling tiles, individual pages of books.  He was out of town, and we (me, my FI and my best friend) took turns going into his office. 

My favorite was the labeled staples inside the stapler, but the dumbass secretary went and told him because "hehehe she knew about it all along hehe!!!"



On another occasion, we also stole his stuffed otter and took a series of creepy "otter in the trunk with duct tape over his mouth" pictures, and sent him ransom notes.

I taped a co-worker's desk shut with packing tape because he attached a pen to my wire-mesh pencil/pen holder with a paperclip attached to a rubber band chain. When I pulled my pen out of the holder, it flung the holder across my office and made it spew pens everywhere. I also took the bolts out of his office chair, but that was in retaliation for something else that I can't remember.

I broke into a friend's house and stole all his video game systems and games.  It was funny...for me.

One time my roomie came home completely wasted and passed out almost immediately. My other roomies and I thought it would be fun to rearrange the furniture in our dorm room (including the bed with her on it, she was that asleep) as well as turn all of the photos/posters upside down. She was a very confused person when she woke up.

My parents used to drink coffee from concentrate, so they would make a carafe of concentrate about once a week and then just add water and heat it up every morning.  

My best friend and I made a carafe of "coffee" by flattening coke and set it out for my dad to drink the next day. My dad made a cup of coffee the next morning and amazingly didn't realize something was up until he tried it.

The best part was my mom was in on the joke but she came down late that morning and wasn't sure if my dad had actually had a cup of coffee while my dad wanted my mom to get pranked too, so both of them sat there wanting a fresh cup of coffee for almost an hour.

We made a fake certified letter and had the office receptionist deliver it during our weekly staff meeting.  It was a fake IRS notice about an audit and all kinds of realistic allegations.  This was in a CPA office of tax professionals, so we all knew what such a letter would really mean.  He left the meeting and went to his office and closed the door.  We laughed for an hour.  The same guy got a fake paternity suit summons the next year.  We were pretty mean to him . . .

One of the best pranks I've seen is one my friend's sister and her sister's boyfriend pulled on her. They posted an ad on craigslist giving away $1,000 worth of cans for free because the owner didn't want to take the time to return them, with her phone number. People were calling her all day for the cans and she didn't know what was going on at first. I think she got over 150 calls.

Haha, no!  You know how the knot has suggested screen names, like, Starfish20?  I thought I would be all ironic and take Starfish20, but it was taken!  So then I was cranky, and my brother and I always called each other "poopypants" when we were kids and were cranky, so i picked poopypants.

Sorry for the novel!

Goes well with your SN.  ETA:  Salt beat me. 

I was a bystander for this one:
Interns in the legal office at work were tired of the lawyer's over use of post-it's.  So, they COVERED every glass surface on his car entirely with them.  Hundreds of them.  He thought it was funny, but the parking lot was a mess afterwards!

When I was little my sister was planning on having all of her friends over after school. She was in junior high and I was always wanting to hang out with them but they would never let me. I decided to hide in her closet and jump out when she opened it and scare her to death, thus looking cool in front of her friends.

Apparently they decided to hang out in the living room for about 2 hours before going into the room, but I was determined to follow through with my plan. I mean I had already been in the closet for 2 hours, whats one more? Finally she came in, opened the door, and I jumped out screaming. Turns out I got more scared than she did because I peed my pants and everyone pointed and laughed.

Come to think of it that wasn't a very fun prank...

A bunch of years ago a friend of mine and his wife at the time were having a baby. I asked him to tell me the sex of the baby when they found out. He told me he was only telling a friend of ours, Ben, and that was all. Our Friend did tell us the names of each potential sex... so there was my lead.
So the afternoonthey found out, I called Ben and told him "Yeah, he already called and told me, so I won't bug you anymore about it."
"Oh, Cool", says Ben.
"Yeah... I don't know about that name though". Says me.
"Oh, [Girl's name]? Yeah..."
" Hey Ben- I didn't know the sex of their baby. You just told me!!"
It wasn't much of a "joke", but it was pretty hilarious. Plus it's in my head today. That friend is now married to my best friend and today they found out the sex of their baby- a boy!

My favorite was putting baking soda toothpaste in oreos to trick my cousin. He pranked me once and I finally got back at him. Sweet, sweet food related revenge.

FI once made a grilled cheese for his sister because she whined at him to. He added dog food in the middle, and she took a giant bite before realizing what was in it. This was over ten years ago, and she still gets made fun of for it.

There is an award that my boss gives out once a quarter to someone on our team. Its called an EEYORE award and is a donkey dressed in our uniform. One of the cops we work with stole him and let one of our coworkers know so at least someone knew where he was. His mom works with photoshop, so they conspired to send us ransom notes from all over the world. The cop had friends that were traveling to other countries, and she would send them a picture and a letter and have them mail it to us at the store, so we would get postmarks from Greece, Paris, Vegas, and all sorts of other places. It was pretty fun getting the letters, but it went on for about 3 months before our boss got mad that we hadn't gotten it back yet (we all knew it was one of the cops, just didn't know who).

Saran-wrapped my VP's cubicle...pictures are worth 1000 words...





He loved it so much he used a laptop and worked at a random vacant desk for a couple of days so he could keep it the way it was.

Wrapped a friend's car in industrial cling wrap... in a complex weave pattern.
We went around the car, under and over the car the long way, and under and over the car the short way.  And we used three rolls so they would all wrap around eachother.  It was brilliant.  We tucked all the ends under the car so it would be really hard to remove.

Another time, I teamed up with a friend's SO and we filled her car with water balloons and sweet 'n' low packets.

Putting instant mashed potatoes in someone's yard when you know they are going to run the sprinkler.

A random aquaintence - this is pretty epic, but not mine - welded the door to the principal's office at my high school shut.  While he was in there.
