[updated:LAST EDITED ON 16-May-02 AT 10:58 PM (EST)]Here's one that actually happened to me:
The wife and I had a pre-wedding bonfire and party back in 1992 with many friends in attendance. I THOUGHT IT would be funny to have everyone toss their empty beer cans in the back of Bryan's (my best friend and best man at the wedding) F150. All night long....ting-tang-bang-clink. Hundreds of them.

Later that night, when I left to walk some friends back to their vehicle, Bryan thought IT WOULD BE EVEN FUNNIER if he and everyone else left back at the party took the cans from the back of his truck and threw them under the hood of my '79 F100.

So, the next morning (everyone has now gone home), I drove out to the store and heard a GAWD-AWFUL racket. Pulled over to th side of the road, lifted the hood, and...what fa??

Here's the best part: Later that very same early morning, I had the wife call Bryan (who was still in bed) and tell him excitedly "John had an accident because the hood of his truck flew open and he ran off the road! Don't know if he's hurt or not. I'll have him call you for a ride after I know more."

We sat there about 10 minutes and let him sweat it out. Finally I called and all he said was "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

We're still friends.

 

Lemme see...

1. I work at Thrifty Car Rental, and we've got a U-Haul counter in our store, well, this girl that works with us is ALWAYS running at the mouth. So one day I snuck into the drawer where she keeps her keys, and loaded up her car onto an auto transport (all 4 wheels on tralier), and it was hooked up to a 24' truck. So at 3 o'clock when she mosies out the back door, I come roaring by with the truck, trailer and car in tow. I drove around the block a few times, each time honking and waving to her standing in the parking lot.

2. I'd close shop with the manager, and I'd pull my truck and his car from the gated back lot at closing time. I grab the keys to his car, park it right at the front door, tune the radio to a spanish station, crank the volume, turn the heater on, put the fan on high, and put the wipers on high. I watched him while he got into the car, he jumped up from his seat and hit his head on the roof.

3. Here in Nueces County, in So. Texas, we had a law where if you were a sex offender, you had to have a sign saying so on your car, and infront of your house. Well, same girl from above, I jumped on the computer and made a "Sex Offender" plate for her car.

4. This last one I still feel bad about to this day. We'd BBQ about every other week at work, and we had some raw hamburger meat left over. I wrapped the meat in foil, leaving a little hole at the top, and put it under the seat of a co-workers truck. Seemed like every week he'd bring up that his truck has been smelling worse and worse. I even took a whiff one day and PHEW! I felt bad, so I snuck back into his truck, and took out the meat...it was half eaten by maggots.

 

I like the one they did in American Graffiti. Where they wrapped the chain around the rear axle of the police car.

 

One my dad has passed on to me is, you put a pebble or something in their hub cap,so up to about 30mph it rattles then goes away. You slow down and it comes back. Then he also told me about on a sunny day put cuves of butter on the car and they melt and the seagulls come by and it goes right through 'em.

 

I did a prank on a friend that lasted for 18 months.

He drove a Taurus that was a company car. I went into the file cabinet where the spare keys were kept and made myself a duplicate of his trunk key.

Whenever I passed his car I opened the trunk and smacked the inertia switch. When this switch is jarred it turns off the fuel pump. It is designed to keep fuel from being pumped out after a crash.

For 18 months at least half the time when he would come out to his car it wouldn't start. I had him trained to open the trunk and reset the switch before it would start.

He also let the employees that worked for him use his car. They were all trained to check the switch, too!

He changed the switch twice, and didn't notice that it never tripped at home. He lived 50 miles from work, and it wasn't worth it to me to drive that far for a prank!

I only stopped when I left that company. The prank didn't stop, though. I made two more keys and passed them on.

hehe

The best one I did was shoveling about 2 feet of snow onto someone's car (that someone is now my boss). She was like 30 minutes late for our company party LOL. It was sooo funny though! She hates snow too.

We still talk about it today.

 

SOme of the car pranks mentioned here will most definitely get you shot at the Johnny Mo homestead and buried in my front yard. However I have played a prank on someone as payback for thievery. I had a Mustang GT with front and rear taillight blackouts (going back 10 years here so bear with me) One night I am coming home late from clubbing with a buddy and I see another Mustang pulling out of my street like a bat out of hell (3am or so) As a quick reaction I get a glimpse of the plate (I know most of the locals that had GT's at the time) and knew more or less who it was (he did not live on my street) I get to my car and notice my taillight covers missing (they were there at 11 pm when I left). So over the next few days I don't see this guy around, but about a week later he's goin around town with my tails on. I know because I had filed a notch in the corners. Now no cop is going to help me with this so I take matters into my own hands...get a couple of my boys from da bronx to pay him a visit...no violence just a prank...jacked up his car onto cinder blocks and took the wheels off stacked'em on his front lawn wih a little note saying "you have no idea how over your head you are, I suggest you take your stolen tailight covers as a gift because next time you and your car will not get off so easy...Don't f__k with my car again!" I drove past and gave him a little nod as he was putting his wheels back on..he knew he was busted.

 

A few years back, a couple co-workers and I had done the "dripping oil" trick on a friends rear axle seals after he was up all night replacing them (twice). We only let him cry for a couple hours before letting him in on the gag. He was a good sport!

Here's how he got back at us. It worked like a charm!.......

He tied some steel cans to a rope, and tied one end up to the frame of the truck (up out of sight). He then tied a small piece of fishing line to the other end of the rope (that had the cans). Finally, he then tied the fishing line up around the exhaust.

We each had made it maybe a mile or so down the road before the fishing line melted, the ropes dropped, and the cans started dragging behind.

 

some where i heard that if you take shaveing cream dip it in liquid nitrogen for about a minute you can then take a pair of pliars and peal the can away from the frozen shaving cream throw about 5 or so of these cans in the front seat of a car and it should run out of the door seals and the car should smell good for at least six monthes

also pull each one of the sparkplug boots off the plug wet toilet paper and place it in the boot and just barly place it back on the sparkplug it will run till they dry out this is a good wedding prank


now to the dirty side i had someone steal my chainsaw out of the back of my pickup once and he bragded about it well thiss pissed me off i was a logger and this was my bread and butter so one night i stoped by his house picked up my chain saw went back to his house with a couple boxes of fareina and cream of wheat and filled his raditor this is a good pay back it sits there till the motor warmes up thermostat opens and then done time for breakfast all he needed was some brown sugar and butter

Back in high school a friend and I used to play jokes on a mutual friend. He worked as a bus boy at the local Holiday Inn. We found out one of his coworkers had accused him of some prank or other. one day when we knew he was at work we went to the local 7-11 and picked up ice cream, whipped cream,chocolate sauce, and cherries. And a spoon. We then proceeded to make a "truck sundae" out of his truck in the parking lot. We stuck the spoon on top of the sundae with a crude note "revenge is mine". The best part was he always thought his coworker did it.
A few months later we went to a wharehouse club and got the biggest bag of flour we could find. We then made a huge batch of bread dough in a wash basin. We then dumped the dough under a blanket in the bed of our friends truck. It was summertime so it proceeded to rise quite well. We found out later he had to shovel out the whole bed of his truck. At that point he knew it was us and we admitted to the ealier prank as well.

 

Whats a PANK anyway!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Here's Some

Breaking off something in somebody's locking gas cap. Yes, I know this is VERY bad, but hey, when you find out your friend is sleeping w/ your girlfriend, I think the gloves come off. Wasn't my experience, but a close high school friend's.

Greasing the door handles. I only mention this common prank, simply because it backfired on me once. I knew a guy who a had a truck just like mine, same color and everything, cept his was 2wd, mine's a 4x4. At a Basketball game, me and another guy go out to the parkinglot for some payback for an earlier stunt. I'm getting the handles real good, when my friend taps me on the shoulder and asks when the other dude got lockouts.:-X23

The ever popular shrink wrap. Hot day+long hours with the car just sitting=entertainment.

One of my high school favorites. Putting those 6 foot long cement curbs behind and right in front of someone's wheels.

This is a REAL bad one. One kid always left his keys in his(fathers) (new) car. We were telling him how someday we were gonna take it for a ride (jokingly, he knew). His father kept telling him not to do it , but he'd always forget. So, one day, he comes out at 3:00, and surprise, the car's not there. After 3 panicky hours, he finally goes home, where daddy is waiting with the car in the driveway and long lecture prepared.

 

but hey, when you find out your
>friend is sleeping w/ your girlfriend, I think the gloves
>come off.

This one never ceases to amaze me. Guys find out that their wife / girfriend is cheating on them... and they blame the guy... not their wife / girlfriend.

It takes TWO to have an affair buddy. Grow up!

 

I concur.
That WOMEN was most at fault.
