Pranks?

I love pranks. Anyone have any awesome pranks you managed to pull on friends or family (or strangers)? Maybe you've been pranked yourself? I think it would be fun to hear about!

It's been a while since I played any pranks, but I remember a particularly good one I've pulled on a lot of people over the years. I even have it here on video if you want to see me in action.

Back in 2010, inspired by the show Scrubs, a friend and I placed bullion cubes in the shower heads overnight in each communal bathroom of each male dorm.

While it was hilarious to hear the uproar the next morning from the guys who were particular about how they smelled (because who isn't?!) it was even funnier to smell chicken broth in all my classes from the guys who didn't re-shower.

One of my favourites was super spontaneous. I was getting ready to water the garden when a friend came over and decided to help. We had a system where some of the water switches were fairly far away from things that needed water (we lived on a ranch). So he held the hose while I went to turn on the water. I got this bright idea to turn the water on, and then turn it off real quick. I had a very strong feeling that my friend would look down the hose to see what was up. That's when I switched it back on again.

When I came back he was soaked.

Uh, yes.
I walk up to a stranger and do an awkward dance and then drop face-first on the ground.
Try it sometime.

My pranks are usually small, and mostly just me lying to or tricking people. This one time, I was sitting down with family and eating dinner, and my mother was talking about how she was being harassed by a thrift store. She said that one of their trucks passed by our house and she ducked, nothing how silly and stupid that her being afraid was.

So I casually pointed out a window and said "the truck's right over there."

She fell for it.

I once convinced people I was a human being.

You should've seen the look on their faces!

My ex-girlfriend has pretty terrible memory, so when we first started dating, I pulled an elaborate prank for months of tricking my birthday. What was so funny about it was that I never told her my birthday directly. Anytime she heard my birthday it was in conversations with other people or in other indirect ways. She only found out my actual birthday about two weeks before (which she then doubted for awhile xD)

We once rickrolled everybody at our Duke of Edinburgh camp. We did it at midnight with speakers set up around the camp. It was pretty good.

Every time people swear at me for rickrolling them, my day is utterly made.

Besides the old "switch the bags of cereal" trick, nothing comes to mind

I'm a pretty gullible person. I like to think I believe the best in people, but whatever~

Last April Fool's day, my roommate pranked me four times. The funniest part was, every prank, I just assumed that was the end of it.

First, she left a note telling me she'd used my tooth brush (with April Fools written on the back). I didn't fall for that one.

Second, she replaced the creme of oreos with toothpaste (sacrilege!)

Third, she put a printed cockroach in my lamp, so that a giant shadow was put on my shade. I freaked out and was so loud demanding her to tell me if that was a prank or not because I was unable to look that I drew my suite mate into our room. I feel a little better because she fell for it too.

And finally, my roommate put plastic wrap in my shampoo and conditioner, so I nothing would come out of the bottle.

Needless to say, next year revenge will be served...

Just yesterday I pulled one on my mom. She was in her bathroom and I got an idea. I grabbed Dad's belt off the door (it was hanging there on the back cause obviously he wasn't wearing it), and began to sneak ip on mom. Dad saw it and joined in by saying "Get that thing out of this house!" Mom then answered with "If it's a snake GET IT OUT!" (I am known for catching snakes and she always thinks I have one) I then threw the belt (aka the snake) into the bathroom which resulted in a scream from Mom. I was on the floor laughing so hard.

She has threatened to hurt me if I do that again. XD
