Good Pranks

[hic28]

All this bitching got me thinking. Anyone got some good pranks?

My top 3

1. Dry Docking
2. Beef shower
3. Ziptie Driveshaft


1. Turn off the water to your friends toilet, flush all the water out so the bowl is dry. Drop a big log. Bonus points if you can do this and not have to wipe.

2. Unscrew friends shower head, pack it with a few beef bullion cubes, replace shower head. Wait for yelling after the stinky beef water comes out once it heats up.

3. Large ziptie on driveshaft in hard to see location. Makes a racket and hard to diagnose for most people.

My little brother pulled a good one on me back when we lived with our parents. While I was busy taking a shower, he took my lotion and poured it all out and replaced it with sunless tan cream. Long story short I wasn't too happy with him as I started turning into an oompa loompa while out with my friends.

How could your friends tell he turned your dick orange....

Stinky beef water? Showering in beef broth, shit I am pranking myself with that tomorrow. LOL.

I sucked up Arby's sauce through my little brothers straw, when he went to get ketchup, then put it back in his drink.

For years, my former college room mate, and my Mom got into this annual April fools day tradition of pranking each other. Albert was his name.

So the day before April fools day, Albert calls my Mom and says he is sorry for all his previous pranks and asks if he can bring over some Chinese take out food and some videos (back in the day when VHS tapes were all the rage) for Mom and Dad to watch while they ate Chinese food.

The house where Albert and I lived had a few other guys living there, and we often had these huge halloween costume parties that were legendary. We would put three kegs of beer on ice in the bath tub, and there usually wasn't much beer left...My parents showed up at one dressed as cats, as in the "fat cats from the suburbs" as Albert called them.

Albert brings over a Chinese food feast and 3-4 movies for them to watch. They eat, and watch a couple of movies, then Albert says he has to go. He puts the left over Chinese food in my folks' refrigerator, and asks if they can return the two remaining movies to the local video store the next day. Mom says "sure". So Albert leaves.

The next morning, Mom gets up and as she starts the coffee maker, she notices there is one movie titled "Fat Cats" to be returned to the video store. So, she shoves the "Fat Cats" tape into the VCR to let all the credits and stuff before the actual movie starts get over with while she gets coffee.

About five minutes later I get this call from my Mom. She is absolutely furious, and is so angry she was sputtering and actually having a hard time telling me how mad she is at Albert. I finally get the story about the Chinese food, movies etc. Then she tells me about the movie "fat Cats" that she put into the VCR, and that it was a hardcore porno tape with morbidly obese fat people having sex... Apparently when Mom and her coffee made it into the living room there on her screen were 4-6 people weighing 350-500 pounds each having hardcore sex on her TV. Mom was/is a really devout church lady type.

She didn't speak to Albert for about a year....She eventually got over it, but never forgot it... Well over 30 years later and I still laugh at that one. Albert forever won, and ended the April fools day prank war.
RIP Albert...

Simple stuff but take the cap of salt and pepper shaker, put a piece of paper over the top, turn it over, put it upside down on the table, slide the paper out then put the cap on the bottom...which is now the top....and wait til someone needs salt.

 

[MtnCreek]

'08 an asshole put an Obama sticker on my truck. I drove about 50 miles with it on there. I had a sticker made that read I (heart) Gay Porn and put it on his. I never did get a strait answer on how long that sticker was on there before he found out.

The hand in warm water prank still works.

 

[supercorndogs]

We used to fill the first fold of the paper napkin in the dispenser with salt and pepper. Then when you pull it, it throws salt and pepper all over.

My buddy wrote "FUCK COPS" in the mud on the passenger side of my pickup. I made the two hour drive home, and got a lot of weird looks before I noticed.

We tied a 25 foot garden hose to the ladder on the back of another friends new motor home once. He was only about 20 minutes from home.

Annoying beeper lets a small chirp out on a set timer or on random logic. We built them from 555 timers when kids. 9 Volt battery and it will chirp for years. Hide it where it won't be easily found (drop ceiling or wall cavity). Because its a single chirp they will never find it. It will drive them nuts.

300’ roll of yellow caution tape tied to bumper of car. Now, hide the roll behind rear tire. Then sit back and wait for the victim to drive into the sunset with 300’ of yellow caution tape dragging behind his car.

555's - I remember those building circuit boards in the early 1980's.

I went on leave once, came back to my office painted Pepto Pink. It's okay though, I ended up with the offender's girlfriend so I won. We're still together, in fact.

My ex-FIL noose tied a dead squirrel to the back of a buddy's truck bumper, driver had the cops called on him while driving down the interstate outside DC and had to explain it to a VA trooper.

I'm pretty simple in my pranks, sneak dummy rounds into mags at the range, strafe someone's office with a boiled egg fart, steal light bulbs, little shit like that.

Totally forgot about the smoke grenade gag. Zip tie one of these under the bumper and use fishing line to tie off to a fixed post. 60,000 cubic feet of smoke in 90 seconds

Once I wired a flash bang to an office chair and the desk for a particular shitbird Sgt. we had. When he pulled the chair out to sit down...boom. I can still see it in my mind, the flash, the bowing of the office window glass (chicken wire safety glass) and hear the ommpfhhhh come out of him when that flash bang went off in that little 6' x 12' office. He ended up going to see the wizard long before his tour was up anyways, so we just helped it along a little.

Yeah, I could be a cruel little shit (used to wire the shitter doors with flash bangs to fuck with Corpsman during Indocs). They ended up looking like shaking little Chihuahuas who had just shit their pants (actually, a couple did).

We had a shit ton of those little pull string firecrackers and did that gag for a month in the Weapons Company office, tied them to every office chair, wall locker door and desk drawer, loads of fun until the First Shirt told us to knock the shit off after someone got his UCMJ manual and it went off while he was writing up a charge sheet. We at least got real proficient at booby trap checks...

ROFLMAO! You know EXACTLY what I'm talking about!

You know, you can punch the primer out of a spent pop up flare tube, and run a flash bang down that with the pull string coming out the hole, fill it with rocks, and then use a thermite grenade mounting bracket (used for rigging destruction of classified machines) and make a dandy little rock mortar. Yeah, that's right mutha fuckers, you better be wearing your flak and helmet at ALL TIMES bitches! LOL!

A good healthy dose of this all over “That Guy’s” tools, tool box, door handles, steering wheel etc. etc..... Timeless classic

 

[MarinePMI]

Kind of like putting black boot polish on the eye cups of the big eyes on the bridge wings of a ship. Just wait for all the butter bars to line up to look at the cute local girls as we pulled into port, and don't say a word as they pass by us in the radio room... heh, heh, heh... Always worked on the midshipman too.

When I was in college in VT, this guy I knew went to a party in the winter, and took some random women’s coat and took a shit in the sleeve. I asked him what happened but he could only speculate

I was lazy and bought an Anoy A Tron. Same concept a lot of different sounds, and variable delays. Put it in a guy's cubicle. A few of us were in on the prank and would move it around for a couple of weeks and then take it away. A couple of week later we would start it again. This went on for about three months, he was going bat shit crazy trying to find it and none of 'us' ever heard it when we were in his cube.

Finally he figures I'm somehow behind this and calls me at home one evening. Eventually I started laughing and confessed. He was pissed and ended the call with 'all right MF' and hung up.

The next morning I get a call from HR and they asked me to come down to talk to them. I get there and it's the guy, one of my other buddies, and the lady from HR. She starts talking about harassment and how it manifest itself and how it can be based on race... I'm thinking 'you little bitch, playing the race card on me' so when HR finally describes what they have been told by this guy, I decide to fall on my sword and take all the heat. In my mind I'm trying to figure out how I tell my wife I just got fired for playing a practical joke, I was freaking out on the inside.

Finally the HR chick looks to the guy and says 'I can do it any more' and starts laughing her butt off and so does he. The he looks over to me and says, got you.

It was the best practical joke I've ever had played on me. To this day, all of us laugh about it, but I don't trust him in the least bit. I know he's not 'even' just yet.

 

[MarinePMI]

Huh. I got called in for bitching someone out at work and using profanity. The manager said something like "You know, the Company could let you go for using language like that." to which I responded without missing a beat, "True. But then again, maybe I don't want to work for a company that is worried about the use of profanity to an employee that has been a problem child that has been handed from manager to manager, rather than deal with it." That manager just looked at me, paused and said, "Okay. We're done here, I'll let you know if he complains again. Take it easy on him for the next few days."

Smdh...

 

[Luke]

For a more benign office prank - lower their office chair all the way down, and then put vacuum grease or something equally sticky on the handle.

 

[Maser]

For a little more mean spirited pranks, how about some dried ammonium nitrogen tri-iodide in strategically placed locations.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Back in 1991, a real dickweed down in the Fayetteville area pissed off a buddy and I. We had a bumper sticker printed that said "Rodney King Deserved It!!" And stuck it on the back of his Isuzu Trooper.

Never did get around to attending the funeral.

Cheers,

One of my favorites was canned raw oysters in a pay phone change return slot. Did it at RDU airport once in a whole bank of pay phones... every time one of the 'check the change return slots' guys came walking down the aisle looking for quarters... was priceless!

Exact damn thing happened to me. I swapped the phone lines under the desks of a couple co-workers so their phones would ring at each other’s desks.

They filed a complaint, launched a fake investigation that involved HR, a director and two other managers. They had another employee feeding me fake info about them having the wrong suspect and things getting more and more serious. They had “meetings” about the issue in the big glass window conference room all morning until I finally cracked and walked in and confessed. They let me stew and grovel in front of them for a while as they were talking about how to solve all the problems from missed phone calls... then finally finished me off by standing up, pointing at me and saying “And THAT’s how you prank someone!!”.

Never pranked anyone at the office again.

I've never been impressed with people using human waste products for other "fun" or "protest" uses, it just makes me classify them in the monkey brained category.

A 'musical' greeting card... with the little button that plays music torn out and tossed into the back seat of a car before a long road trip...

Had a vanload of friends driving off onto a 1000 mile trip to a training. And I tossed a musical greeting card chip into the van... somewhere in the upholstery. For the whole trip... Happy Birthday in digital beepage...

Disassemble an office phone, put a chunk of summer sausage inside the mouthpiece next to the microphone holes. Faint aroma of sausage every time they talk on the phone.

Buy one thousand feeder crickets at a pet store. Set them free inside your victim’s house.

I am surprised no one has fessed up to the old waterfowl standby. Carefully remove shot from shell and stuff with toilet paper. When you buddy steps out of blind to pick up birds or relieve himself, replace shell in his shotgun. Make sure you let your buddy shoot first into next bunch of birds. As a side note, make sure the surrounding vegetation is fairly green as once in a while the toilet paper ignites. Don't ask how I know this.

Around 2008 (before phones got smart) I had access to a buddies cell phone for a few hours. Made a list of the people (many of whom I knew of) and switched about a half dozen numbers. Instead of calling his brother, I put the number for an introspective friend you'd be on the phone with for an hour before you could hang up. Switched a pair of girls I thought he liked and so forth. It was a couple months before I told him and the results were everything I had hoped for.

He got me back by occasionally having his brothers GF answer when I would call him. She started with "you must have the wrong number" and when I'd call again I'd get him. But I still got her from time to time and she got meaner as time went on, after about the 6th time saying she was going to call the police if I called her again. I ultimately called AT&T and spent about a half hour with them while they tried to check the calls and told me everything was normal. This went on for a few months and I was baffled. Never considered I was being played. He told me about it years later.

One of my favorite cyber pranks I pulled on a forum was over at 24 Hour Campfire. It was an April Fools prank and to throw people off I made the thread either the day before or day after April Fools Day. This was awhile back so I don't remember which day. Anyways, I made up this crazy story about how my wife's grandpa or whoever was having a psychotic episode in my house and tearing the place up and I hid in my room and forced my wife to deal with it. The responses from what I remember were priceless! Folks who were in on it were telling me off the site that I needed to reveal that it was just a prank and not real. I just couldn't bare to spoil it because it was so funny to watch folks actually think it was real. I think still to this day they still believe it's real. If that's the case, I really hope they don't see this post because I want that to run it's course forever! A good executed prank doesn't deserve to die anytime soon!

When I worked overseas, we had one guy (former USMC Capt) leave the office with his email still open. One of the other trainers I worked with, a former Ranger Batt guy, saw it and did up an email in his name to another former Force guy in the section that went something like this...

"I've been watching you in the gym, a lot, and I can't stop thinking about you. I think we should be together. Sit across from me at dinner if you agree, and we can meet up in my room tonight."

They always sat across from each other at dinner.

Unfortunately, the Ranger got cold feet, fearing the HR demons if word of the joke got out as we'd already sky lined ourselves a bit for being "rough" on students, so he ratted himself out to the two. It was still hilarious, just wish it would have played out longer.
