Big fan of this sort of (mis)behavior. I have many, but one that comes to mind is the mental abuse I subjected a friend to, with respect to his pet rabbit. He would always lock his rabbit in a cage before he went to work. I "managed" to find a duplicate key to his apartment, and the fun begins...Every day, I would let the rabbit out, and Dave(name changed to protect the innocent) would come home to find the rabbit sitting in his favorite easy chair, having eaten all the Red(and only red) Jolly Ranchers. This went on for about 5 months, with him stacking encyclopedias on the cage to deter the rabbit. He would come home, encycopedias stacked neatly on floor, rabbit in the chair again. Dave confided in me about demonic possession, a possible space time continum, etc. so I finally had to admit what I had done. Didn't really go over too well with Dave. That being said, what has everyone else done?

 

I foreworded my mother inlaws cell phone to a peeler bar

 

i was a part of some senior pranks but never was there when it went down, last year they too the "a, and the l" out of tahlequah to spell thequah a forum based on the school. the letters where given back the following school year, no harm done to them.

omg the rabbit thing was so hilarous!!

 

I worked construction for a while and one day this guy kept playing jokes on everbody, so I thought I would get one on him.
So he left his hard hat in the shack that night and we put carpenter's chaulk (the purple kind) in the headband liner of his hard hat. This was August in Alabama, about 100 degrees in the daytime. So the next day he came in put his hard hat on and went out to work. Later that day he came back sweating and his long hair was purple. It was a mess. He never played anymore jokes on people .....

I didn't actually do it, but I have a friend and his dad are notorious for pranks.

So I had this friend 'Mr Watts' who was arrested for marijauna possesion.
He managed to get out of jail time, but was sent to a work camp (this is the south).

So when it comes time to get him, my friend and his dad rented a limo, and obtained very high quality suits. The son even had one of those limo driver hats.

Well they ride up to the work camp requesting to pickup "the kingpin mr watts"

Perhaps not the funniest thing in the world, but from thier retelling, the looks on the prisoners and guards made the limo rental all too worth it.

of course mr watts is dead now, beaten to death and stuffed in his freezer.... but memories are priceless, and I think I'll always get a laugh at him telling me this particular story.

 

Ah yes....God bless pranks. I think almost all of them focus on te fraternity or college, so here goes...fraternity first. Our two back rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the fraternity house are identical. We switched them around, COMPLETELY, down to the posters on the wall. Another time we just cleaned a guy out and set it up in the bathroom.

When I was pledging, the brothers had a night out with their dates to a formal, so the fraternity house was empty. We went in, and barracaded the door with 9 feet of snow (no one was inside, but the other doors were available to leave through). We then nailed a piece a plywood to the front stairs, and coated it in vaseline. We continued with the vaseline theme, and pasted it EVERYWHERE. This was almost 5 years ago, and we still find little globs of vaseline. It's great because the young'uns have no idea what it is or where it came from, so they freak ot whenever they touch it. It became the gift that kept giving. We then filled the door locks with that JB Weld stuff, or super glued pennies over them. We also took TONS of twine, and wrapped the other set of stairs, making the front ones the easier of the two to navigate.

We also had roof access back then at that house, and still do around the corner. We used to have 3-man water balloon launcher fights. And occassionally, one would miss by two blocks and hit the other fraternities.

Petty theft became the norm too. We all have a little bit of eachothers stuff in our respective attics. One fraternity would steal a composite, we'd take their charter.

I once had my name duct taped diagonally across a crosswalk in Philadelphia...the heat kept it there for MONTHS. It was an honor walking in my own crosswalk on the way to class.

And finally...two weeks into the school year, I was staying in a 15 story tall dorm with my buddy from HS. We were the prankster idiots in HS too. So, we went out, got some poster board and a giant black marker, and wrote out a not-acceptable-for-FTE phrase letter by letter. We then posted each poster board, one letter at a time, down the side of the building in the lobbies, floor by floor. It was visible for at least a mile, and stayed up for 3 hours.

Man, for everyone I think up to type, I think of 3 more in my head. I'm sorry world!

BTW-----don't try this at home or school kids. We were professionals.

 

our senior prank was dumb but it got all the teachers mad as hell. you know how the pencil sharpeners have those cases of them that hold all the pencil shaveings? Me and my buddy stole every single one in the entire school and hid them in a locker. No one could sharpen their pencils...

 

lead weights sound a bit dangerous, clear wrap, no comment, liquid soap , try industrial ont he nsu campus, its been happening since my dad was in highschool and it happens right before they get out for a break, it pours out into the street, its freaking hilarous

 

Probably the cheapest to do - and most expensive in the long run I heard about secondhand.

There was a hot-shot in my high school who's folks bought him everything - spoiled more rotten than a pile of , well - lets leave it at that.

Junior year, he got a brand new Camaro. Nice car.
Got on the serious wrong side of Mark 'M', who had two side jobs and was restoring a '56 Belair one piece at a time. Also a nice car - when it was done. You don't want to run down another mans wheels under some circumstances, especially if you're not safe to leave alone with a screwdriver to begin with. Sort of spells it out, doesn't it?

Mark was angry when he did this...

Back then, a block of Limburger cheese was about sixty nine cents. One was spread all over the intake manifold of Mr. Perfects Camaro, one was pretty much used up on the left exhaust bank, and a third went all over the right bank and the rest stuffed (wrappers included) into the vent slots in front of the windshield.
People, Limburger stinks - its a given, we know this.
BURNED Limburger is horrible...
The smell never left the car, and it was finally sold.

BOLOGNA slices, who'd guess this?
Messing around at lunch, the usual BS. Someone cracked on someone for bringing a bag lunch. The bell rang. The someone of the first part went out to their car at the end of that (hot) day and found a perfectly round slice of bologna cut out to make it a smiley face on their windshield directly in front of the steering wheel.
When it was peeled off, it was found to have stained the glass itself underneath it grey as the sun baked it. It never came out, and the glass had to be replaced...

Someone once told me that piano wire stretched tight the length of a muffler was capable of creating a harmonic that broke windows as the car was driven by - I never confirmed that one, but have always wondered about it.

Some friends of mine at Miramar used to street race on unfinished sections of highway they knew about. One of them kept a bottle of ARMORALL in his trunk, and had to be watched - ever since the night he sprayed the tread of his adversaries rear tires with it just before a race. I will give him this much credit- his girlfriend made an excellent distraction while he did this!

Sucker spun and spun until it all burned off...

 

Sounds more like a "bike rider eye remover" than a joke.

 

in 73 as a senior in high school, the vice principle banned me from the parking lot for a week cause i would touch the front wheels to the speed bumps, then floor it to lift the front end to keep from tearing the headers off my 66 mustang.i got back by waiting for the board of ed meeting at the other side of the school. he walked down the hall, and 6 of us went out to the parking lot, and put his volkswagon beetle sideways in its spot between two other teachers cars, who went away on a field trip that day.he came back, and of course, no one saw anything. now mind you there were 10 classrooms facing that parking lot, and the whole office staff saw us, including the principle.
(btw, the vp was not well liked)

after and hour, he called me and 3 others to his office, because we were the largest guys in the school, and asked us to put his car back where it belonged. as i was getting ready to say why should we, he beat me to the punch with "if you do this for me, i will not say anything about the way you all drive again, and will instantly restore your parking privagles."
the nice guys we were, we did it for him, and he accually turned out to be decent for the rest of the year.


the best prank/ payback ever though is the one i never pulled.
while i was new on the police force, a friend got me in BIG trouble. afterwards, through warnings from others, he avoided me for over a year.
after that, whenever i was or am around, he is always watching his back for the paybacks he knows one day i will give him. for 25 years now, i get paybacks every time i go there, watching him get all nervous and jumpy waiting for the payback that will never come, and is delivered at least once a week.

 

Office pranks...
Co-worker went on a 6 week vacation. When he came back his desk and everything on and around it were covered with thousands of post-its. To make it even more fun the night before he came back we had one of the interns leave a post-it on the door telling "Mike" that he had an urgent message on his desk.

Another co-worker went on his honeymoon. While he was gone we carefully boxed up EVERYTHING on his desk int eh original boxes. His monitors, computer, phone - even the stapler! We cut small holes for all the wiring and made sure everything was hooked up and turned on. Then we taped the boxes shut. THe final touch was when I printed my Windows desktop and taped it to his monitor box.

Cube farm at Intel years ago, guy was out for a week. He came back to the doorway of his cubicle completely [clear] taped closed. The entire cube was filled to the top with packing peanuts.

And finally, the one I planned but [regretably] never did:
Realize that it's possible [and easy] to forge an email, especially when you own the mail servers! OK, April Fools day last year I was going to play the ultimate prank on my boss. In March 2 really good employees quit and he was stressing over it. I got all 30 IT members (including the VP, my boss's boss!) involved. Around 9:30a, my boss was going to receive one of these forged emails from one of the influencial employees (OK, me) that I was putting in my 2 week notice and that I had just informed everyone else in the department. I had a script set to go off starting at 9:40 through about 10:00 that was going to forge an email, one at a time, from each of the other employees stating that if I was leaving they were giving their notice as well. Just after 10:00, the final forged email was going to come from the VP, saying that since most of his staff quit so did he!

I should have done that one. In December the VP really DID quit. I DID follow himand quit in February. Last I heard more than 5 have also quit since I did. THat joke would have been a self fulfilling prophecy!

 

Also once made a mannequin, and hung it from a noose in a tree on a nice country back road. You should have heard the tire squeals and screams from that one!

 

The best prank I was ever in on was played on my buddy's aunt. Why he picked her I have no idea, but she proved to be an excellent target. We pretended to be from the local radio station saying that she had won a free trip to Australia. All she had to do to claim the prize was call the radio station at noon, sing the Oscar Myer wiener song, then tell the DJ what the capitol of Australia was. Figuring this wasn't good enough yet, we then called the radio station to inform them that she was going to be calling at noon, and the DJ played along with us. So she called in and sang the song, and once she was done, the DJ asks, "You know your nephew Chris right? Well, this was just a joke he played on you, there isn't really a trip to Australia." She says, "Aww, I even knew the capitol of Australia." After, he thought he should apoligize, but she wouldn't even talk to him!! Man, what great times those were.

I got pranked on alot too because I drove a really light truck in high school. I could take the keys out and guys would still push the truck around on me. One day I was sitting in class when the gym teacher walked into the room and asked me if I could move my truck, the class was going out to play soccer.
