The old potato in the tall pipe works well.
Actually,sometimes too well.
For example, my wife at one time was having some trouble at work with one of the other girls.
She asked me if i knew anything that she or the other ladies could do to create a little fun with this wayward girl.
So I told her about the tater.Well, they did it but, with a tater that was too big for the tailpipe.
They shoved it too far in.
Well, it did not come out :-staun and it caused the little car to slip timing and break some internal parts

the girl was without her car for a week or two

I can't believe I didn't think if this earlier

You dump in the tank of their toilet.
It will be weeks of troubleshooting before he figures it out.
Most times they have to get a plumber to explain it to them. Plumber =$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

yeah greasman did rule... frozen cubes of cowbood have a similar effect

 

We did the rubber tied to the antennea and put on the tailpipe both.

For those of you that don't have a stem core puller, pull the cap off and put a small rock in it and tighten it back down just enough to create a slow leak. The next day, they'll find the flat tire and depending on the person, buy a new tire because of it. Did that to a guy here for being a plain jerk and he went, bought a new tire, then mounted it hisself. I guess he never figured it out and threw away a good tire.

Another, disconnect the radio to battery memory wire. It gets really annoying having to reset your presets or search everytime you turn on or off the key.

KY works wonders on steering wheels and door handles. Just leave a small empty tube of something really disgusting like hemroid creme or simular things laying in the seat or in the console or on the dash so they find that when they start looking for a paper towel to wipe their hands with.

For the rude lady at the local Town & Country, take a big dump in the bathroom and don't flush it.

We've done dead hamsters in tool boxes, dead fish behind the seat of a pickup.

You can always find you a plastic toy bat and rig it to where it will fall either in front or beside the driver when the driver turns sharply or guns it or something. To pull on friends in your own vehicle, attatch to passenger side.

Convince your best friend that she has blinker fluid and watch when she takes her car to get the oil changed as she informs them to make sure and refill her blinker fluid or tell her it's a closed system and it's never supposed to leak and listen as she calls to complain to the dealer becuz it's still under warranty. Also, when the same car ignorant pulls up revving her engine, look very serious and say, do that again...(revvs engine)...yep your muffler bearings are going out and listen as she calls daddy at midnight saying "I'm stuck 30 miles from home cuz my muffler bearings are out."

Hang lingerie from the rear view mirrors of a guys vehicle along with a blindfold and a pair of handcuffs "from" his g/f or wife with a note on the window and go tell him what you saw and eavesdrop as he calls his honey to complain or try to get some whichever the case may be. Be sure to pick up the line and laugh hysterically for a few seconds, say "Gotcha!", hang up, and RUN!

Went to school graduation day in 99 to find a toilet bowl on the flag pole that some of the local kickers raised to salute our 'fine' principal. Same applies to a 'fine' boss I'm sure.

Well, off to judge a pool tournament but I'll have more when I come back...

Thanx!

One Friday afternoon I had just finished mopping the floor in my work area. This guy comes in and starts throwing peanut shells on the floor. I told him to stop cause I just finished moping. He though it was funny and proceeded to throw some more and crushed them with his feet. What he didn't think was funny was when I went outside and filled the front seat of his Ford with snow.

Another one is to put a gay pride sticker on his bumper.

 

 

My old auto shop teacher told us about a joke he played on another "prankster" where he used to work before he started teaching back in the early 80's. He ran a wire from one of the plug wires and ran it into the cab and hid it in the drivers seat(it was a ratty old service truck with tattered material so that made it a little easier) When his victim hopped in and turned the key, the truck fired up seven cyls and as long as he was touching something metal in the truck (and those old trucks had no shortage of that, ie ignition, door handle, etc.) he got some pretty good jolts until he was able to get off the seat. He said his co-worker laid off the practical jokes for awhile after that.

 

As a teacher, there is little you can do these days to devil some of the kids that devil you daily but, in the past I have:
Sent a student to the neighboring shop to borrow a board stretcher when they cut a board too short.
Bent a piece of copper tubing in an elaborate shape with the end pointing back towards your face, fashioned a mouth piece and installed it, filled it with flour and laid it on the table. "What is that?" they ask. "It is a buck call. Don't touch it, I am not done with it" Walk away to get something. Never had to go far before the laughter started.
Engines class: during a demonstration of testing a condenser, if you do it right you can charge that baby to the brim. It'll hold that juice for a good while. Charge one up and set it on the table. Look right at the kid that never listens and say "Don't touch that, I'll be right back." Walk away. Between 5 and seven steps and you'll hear that kid yelp.

Never done it, but heard about it: Get a car window from the junk yard. Break it and sweep up the bajillions of pieces into a bag. Go to your buddies unlocked car and roll down the window. Sprinkle glass on seat and ground around the door and wait for him to leave work.

 

Wow... I'm glad I don't live near the most of you guys. As was said before... I hope ya only think and giggle about some of these "gags", because a lot of them DO approach criminal mischief.

A gag, shouldn't really cost a person or cause harm or damage to their property. Nor should a joke cause a possible dangerous situation while driving.

I was amused at some of the good practical jokes..but man.. you guys be careful on what ya do out there. I'd sure hate to see anyone hurt or their vehicle damaged, causing great expense to repair. That's not a joke... that's criminal mischief and will cost you if caught.

 

Me and my buds do a lot of stupid stuff and pranks. This vid was after we stole a road cone and put it in the middle of a road.

Il ike the broken window joke. that one would be pretty good to do.

 

I heard that if you put a couple drops of visine in ones drink they will be running to the bathroom with the runs.

 

Thanks for bringing this 4 year old thread..... back from the dead

 

Grease in the tailpipe.

 

when your at a shop and they hire a new guy take his tool box and move it to the door with a piece of paper that says (Go talk to maganger) Its funny to watch them freak out!
