What's the best prank you ever pulled?

[LeftyMom]

Mine was kind of accidental. My best friend and I leave joking messages on each other's voice mail all the time. She'd gone in for a pregnancy test and I left one pretending to call from the lab to ask her to come in for a quantitative (blood) test because her count was high and we suspected that she was either farther along than we thought or carrying multiples.

Well, I'd forgot that her boyfriend had a habit of checking up on her by listening to her voice mail to make sure no guys had called (don't worry, they split up and she married a great guy a couple years after this) and apparently he called her phone while she was at work and listened to the message and thought it was real.

He went to her family's house, told them all they were having twins at least, and maybe more, and that he wasn't sure how they'd afford that many kids, or that he wanted any more to begin with, and proceeded to chain smoke, drink and worry until she got home from work and started laughing at him for being such an idiot.

Asking him about the babies became a running joke in her family after that. :evilgrin:

1. i had a friend from the cook county coroner's office

(caller id would show up and all) call my mom verifying the address where my autopsy results were to be sent.











i didn't really do that.

2. when I was in the Army....

my unit commander went on leave for 2 weeks. Before he left, he said "When I come back, I want my office freshly painted."

So we painted it pink.

[AllegroRondo]

3. Another Army story....

at my first unit, I was assigned to work in the Supply office. The guy in charge of the office was in the hospital for a couple weeks, so it was just myself and another new soldier working in there for a while. We got our "end of the year funds" from the post, basically telling us to spend the rest of the money in our unit budget before the end of the year.

The two of us typed up several dozen requisions for all kinds of boring stuff, office supplies, cleaning supplies, etc. I typed up and slipped in a request to purchase an M-1 Abrams tank, something our unit was definitely not authorized. Our commander just signed the whole stack without looking.

3 days later, the commander got a call from the General, saying "why the heck does your unit need a tank?"

[EFerrari]

11. Oh, man.

lol

[gratuitous]

4. Well, it's still going on . . .

Oops, I'd better not say any more in case Matcom checks in on this thread.

5. I got this realistic looking rubber snake from petsmart

I rigged up a cooler with hooks and fishing line so the snake would uncoil as you lifted up the lid. Scared the shit out of a lot of people!! But my Grandfather played the joke on an old woman and she was so upset that my Grandfather had to apologize. So my snake is banned from the family gatherings. It backfired on me bigtime!

[AllegroRondo]

6. A friend did something similar

to a bus toilet. Loads of fun!

[Left_Winger]

7. Here's mine

This is what I did once while dating a psychologist:

One day I was washing my car. She came out of her apartment and told me, "A car is an extension of a man's masculinity, so washing it is masturbatory." Before I could respond to this her phone rang and, in a very Pavlovian manner, she went to answer it. Being the prankster that I am I had to do something. So I went in my apartment, grabbed a bottle of shampoo, and returned to my car. I then popped the hood and slid the shampoo bottle under the front. When she returned, I began to run water over the hood and stroke it with a long, sweeping motion. As I did this I told her that she was correct, it was indeed gratifying in a masturbatory way. Then I pushed down hard on the hood which caused the shampoo to spurt out from the front of the car. She was so mad at me that she would not talk to me for three days.

[AllegroRondo]

9. So why does my wife always offer to wash the car?

is she cheating on me?

[seemunkee]

8. Told my sister in law my henna tattoo was real

Got the henna done at the beach at the encouragement of my kids. My mom saw it and the first words out of her mouth were "That better not be real" My brother and his family came down that weekend and saw it. I told my brother it wasn't real because he asked about our mom's reaction but not my s-i-l. For two years she didn't know it was real and every once in a while my nephew would say something about it to her. This went on for 2 years.
I got shoulder surgery done and the next time I saw her she wanted to see the scar. As she is looking at it she gets this curious look and finally asks "Where's your tattoo?"
That has become a running joke in my family.

[JackBeck]

10. I got away with this twice on the same person.

Before Mr.JackBeck and I went to see "The Blair Witch Project", while he was in the shower, I stealthily made my way into the bathroom, quietly opened the shower curtain while he was washing his hair, and stood in the back of the shower until he turned around after rinsing his hair. I scared the shit out of him so bad he screamed and pushed me against the shower wall. I thought it was funny, but if we were any older, I probably would have given him a heart attack.

So we went and saw the movie and he was pretty freaked out by it. So, naturally, the next day, while he was in the shower, I did the same exact thing. Stood in the back of the shower. Oh, boy was he mad at me! I still get a devilish chuckle whenever I think of this prank.

[Miss_Strawberry]

15. This

makes me smile!

[JackBeck]

18. There's a tiny bit of him

that still hates me for this.

But now he hides and scares me when I'm least expecting it, so I look at my prank as a success.

[Miss_Strawberry]

19. In my old apartment

we played pranks on each other constantly. I was always afraid of sitting down on the toilet because I had a feeling one of my roommates would be waiting behind the shower curtain. I always, always checked. So, one day they caught on to my paranoia. As a joke one of our mutual friends high-fived me with a hand full of ketchup which got all over my face, so naturally I ran to the bathroom to wash it off. As soon as I bent over the sink one of my male and female housemates threw open the shower curtain and each threw a whipped cream pie at me. I was kind of pissed because the ketchup had gotten into my eyes and it is fairly acidic....Things got kind of violent. We were a mess, our bathroom was a mess. I miss those days.

[JackBeck]

28. Food pranks are my favorite.

It's everyone's chance to spread mass messiness where all who are involved live.

So who cleaned it up? In my experience, that's when the real fights began.

12. SEVERAL GOOD ONES

At the airport 16years ago I had the office assistant paged .......Sheila..() and Dick Kosinya
so they were walking down the concourse and heard.......Sheila D......Dick Kosinya....white courtesy telephone.

----------------------------------------
A house where I was living at the it was like threes company but 2guys and a girl, me the girl
and the other guy was a complete zero, he pissed me off so much, right before I moved I put
tuna, and limberger cheese in the heat vents................i could only imagine what that smelled like after a while!!! ha

---------------------------

We had this ditzy agent, who was a nice person, but her elevator didnt go all the way to the top,
so on April fools I gave her a phone message that a Mr Youri Naitz called and for her to call back.
The phone number was a Urologist number, so she didnt even realize and she dialed the number...

"Is Yourinaitz there, I would like to speak to Yourinaitz....." we all fell on the floor laughing.

13. You do realize I'm straining hard to not copycat your thread...

:rofl:

[CanuckAmok]

14. I rigged the 2000 US Presedential election

That one still cracks me up, and it's, like, seven years later!

[Reverend_Smitty]

16. In high school...

a group of us swiped a friend's car keys and parked her car in the middle of the football field. The amount of coordination to pull that one off was quite staggering. She really had no idea who had her keys nor what happened to her car! She was more impressed that we could pull something like that off (and the administration didn't get pissed) that she really wasn't even mad.

[trof]

17. I played God.

I had 'floor duty' in a real estate office one Sunday afternoon.
Things were deader than a morgue.
Across the street was the only bar in town that opened on Sunday.

I saw a friend pull into the parking lot and enter the bar.
There was no way Phil could know that I knew that he was there.
I picked up the phone and dialed the bar.

"Duffy's"
"Hi, I think a friend of mine is there. His name is Phil. Has a blond flattop. Wearing a dark blue jacket. Don't say anything to him yet, but do you see him?"
"Yeah. He's right here sitting at the bar."
"Do you know him?"
"Naw, he's not a regular."
"OK, could you just say 'Phil, you have a phone call' and hand him the phone?"
"Sure."

And I heard her say "Phil? You got a call."

<VERY hesitant> "H-hello?"
"PHIL? THIS IS GOD!!! I see you and I see what you're doing. DRINKING on the Sabbath. FOR SHAME, FOR SHAME!"
"WHO IS THIS!?"
"This is GOD, Phil, and I'm watching your every move."
"Alright, WHO THE HELL IS THIS?"

I finally told him. He said it was THE spookiest thing that had ever happened to him. He'd been ice fishing with a buddy that morning and just on the spur of the moment decided to stop in this place where he had never been before and get a burger and a beer. He said he almost dropped his teeth when the bartender called him by name and gave him the phone. And then the call was from "GOD".

20. I woke up a convent of nuns at the crack of dawn with a bullhorn.

But nothing too damaging. :)

21. When I was living in my sorority in college,

my friend Jill's pledge class went on a sneak. A sneak is where all the members of a pledge class stealthily plan a retreat just for their class. They are suppose to be able to get out of the house without anyone else knowing what's going on...AND pull a prank on their way out.
My pledge class stole all the toilet seats on our sneak so that all the girls left in the house would have to "Superman" pee. :evilgrin:

Anyway, when Jill went on her sneak with her pledge class I decided to prank her by stealing every stitch of her clothing and hiding them. She came back the next day to find one lonely hanger in her closet with a note taped to it saying, "Welcome to Jill's closet. We (her clothes) are not in right now, but if you leave a message we'll get right back to you."

She was horrified. :rofl:

[SPKrazy]

23. Did She Get You Back?

I mean did she steal your clothes?


and did she get pics ;)

[suzbaby]

27. She "Fishbowled" me.

Which is to say...she got an over-sized role of saran wrap from our kitchen and went around and around the posts of my bed (I slept on a bottom bunk) until I was encased in my bed by a wall of saran wrap. Fishbowl style.

She poked holes for air.

[SPKrazy]

32. Pictures?

I mean, saran wrap, you, a bed, a sorority house, it has all the makings of a ...

never mind

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

22. In High School...

we went around with firecrackers and tape... we'd tape the firecracker to the doorbell... so it was ringing and light it...the doorbell would be ringing at 3 in the morning and then BOOM it would stop, and the doorbell would be screwn :(

I guess I was a bad boy :spank:

[DemoTex]

24. I mooned my wingman over Laos.

Butt cheeks on the cockpit canopy. Where there's a will, there's a way.

[MonkeyFunk]

25. Not mine, but my brother's:

He was bringing his girlfriend (now his wife) home to meet his two children for the first time. They were about 6 and 8.

Before she came over, and sat them down and told them, very seriously, "Kids... you' have to be really polite tonight. Lori has a wooden leg, and she's very sensitive about it, so no comments, and no staring!"

Well, Lori came over and of course, the kids could do nothing BUT stare, trying to figure out which leg it was. At dinner, my neice, the 8-year old, was seated next to Lori and tried casually brushing her foot up against Lori's leg to see if it was the wooden one.

Lori knew what she was doing and didn't budge. Then my neice started kicking at it. A little harder each time... Lori did nothing.

Then she gave it a decent kick and Lori screamed "OW! My wooden leg!!"

It took the kids a minute or two to figure it all out. My neice told that story at my brother's and Lori's wedding.

26. The worm

I strung a big Ascaris worm through the holes in a classmates bicycle seat during biology class. This was an old-fashioned bicycle seat that had 1/3" diameter holes that were perfect size for that formaldehyde-preserved worm.

This happened 25 years ago.

[LostInAnomie]

29. Not really that good, but disgusting.

In college, I had a roommate named Paul that was the stereotypical roommate from hell. He did nothing but lay around on the couch all day, stunk like ass, left trash all over the place, never changed clothes, etc. Being tired of his shit my other roommate and I came up with a plan to make his life hell over spring break.

We knew that Paul was not leaving school for spring break and would spend the whole time laying around like he always did, or going through our stuff. Taking advantage of the fact that our room had the only heating/air conditioning unit in the apartment which vented out into the living room, we decided lock the door to our room and blast the heat making the living room near unbearable.

Here is where it gets gross, saying that we were taking our bedding and clothes home to wash we removed everything in our room that could retain smell. Then before we left, I took a huge dump in our room's toilet and poured drain-o in the bowl (If you've never smelled it before it will change your life). As the heat continued to blast from our room it not only vented the smell into the living room but made it worse. It became so bad that Paul had to leave the apartment and check into a hotel.

Upon returning, my roommate and I burned a bunch of scented candles, opened the window in our room, and stayed with our girlfriends for a couple of days. It was disgusting, Paul deserved it.

[Strawman]

30. Wow. That's even worse than "shitcupping" a place

I'm impressed.

:applause:

[Evoman]

31. Ahhhhh...heres ONE of them...I'm a complete asshole.

Its a classic (and an oldie)....I called my brother at his office, and told him that somebody called home with an urgent message, but I didn't know what they want. I gave him the number to a funeral home (although he didn't know it at the time) and told him that the lady who called was named Manes....Mira Manes. So when he called the funeral home, they answered "______funeral home."

He calls me back, and just says, "ASSHOLE" and hangs up.

Mira Manes.....get it...hehe.....My remains.

Got the fucker.

33. autographed pictures as Bruce Willis

The movie Armagedden was filming in Houston and I was working as a production assistant. Another PA and I went to the hotel where some of the producers were staying to pick up something and the front desk receptionists asked if we could get something to Bruce Willis. We said yes and took a couple envelopes from them.

The envelopes contained some 8x10 photos, a self addressed, stamped envelope and a letter. The letters were basically fan letters welcoming Bruce to Houston and asked him to autograph the pictures and mail them back. The other PA wanted to throw them away but I had the idea of taking care of this little task for Bruce.

So I went home and signed every picture for Bruce as well as the other actors who were in the photos (the photos were screenshots from movies, for example one photo was Bruce and John Travolta from Pulp Fiction).
I then wrote the guy a letter thanking him for his kind words and how much "Bruce" enjoyed Houston and mailed the package out.

I have no idea if this guy believed it was real or not, but I like to think that when he has friends over he shows off all of his autographed pictures.
