Put a rubber band around the kitchen sink sprayer lever.  Next person to turn on the faucet will get a surprise shower.

I was an RA back in college.

On 4/1, I went over and spent a couple minutes hanging out with my biggest pot head room. As I got up to leave, I offhandedly said, "Oh, hey guys, don't forget that UPD is doing room checks this evening."

They got nervous and were like, "Wait? What? Serioulsy?"

As nonchalantly as possible, "Yeah. Starting at 7. Didn't you get the notice?" And I shrugged and walked out casually.

And I waited.

That evening at dinner all the other RA's were like, "What the *berkeley* is going on? All of my potheads are hauling all their paraphernalia out to their cars. What the hell is happening?"

The youngest recruited me to "prank" her sister by hanging a fake spider from her door frame. So I did it to the youngest instead. 

She was not nearly as amused as I was this morning.

I hope it's OK to post here that the irrepressible Mr. Baruth has an excellent piece today on the Hagerty site. I'm confident that it caused more than a few people at GM to spray coffee out their nose.

I knew it was a joke but I though Mid-Ohio posting the change of the track direction was really funny. In fact I really want to try it now.

At 4AM I was woken up by my older dog and became convinced by the copious amounts of vomit and the fact that her back legs didn't work that id be burying her soon.  Wasn't able to get back to sleep. 

She got me good!

Today kinda sucked.

Putting the Moon Shot nitrous plates on it was genius.

My wife is telling me about the great reset and Bill Gates being behind the FDA banning meat in two years.  Him buying up land to control the country.   

I argued it could never happen - ban all meat in 2 years?  You know those ranchers have guns?   She was totally convinced it will happen.  

Then I asked her if she knew what todays date was?   Then she got really silent.

FIA issued a press release that online racing 'influencers' had to wear harnesses while live streaming sim races "in order to promote the culture of safety" to their younger fans.

For those into Legos:

And if you're a super Lego nerd this was great:

I love Legos, I am certain they helped me learn functional skills in life. You would not believe how long it takes me to teach truly intelligent college students to fold a cardboard box. Pretty sure they didn't have Legos as a child.

My wife has got me good a few times over the years.
 

i came home from work one year on 4/1 particularly beat down and she offered to make me some food. I said all I wanted was some cereal.  So she made some and as I was nearly done she started asking me how it was.  Repeatedly. Until I realized something was afoot and she finally confessed that she made it with breast milk (we had a nursing baby at the time).  
 

but the best was when she created an email account of joethehandyman@yahoo or something like that and emailed me a few weeks after I fired a handyman (joe, our neighbor).  He broke two windows but blamed it on some other people.  I told him I didn't care that they were broken but that he was lying about it. 
regardless, he left and my wife, weeks later, pretended to be him and emailed me that "my window broke his alignment tool" and that I owed him $50 or something to replace it. 
 

i was at our computer behind our couch. So I'm getting fired up and she is sitting 6' away, emailing from her phone just loving how she is playing me. 
 

The emails went back and forth until she finally confessed when I was about to go down to confront the guy!

My wife and I are dog parents. Dogs are a big thing in our lives. We had an Australian Shepherd that she adored and I was constantly irritated by. We only ever adopted adult dogs because puppies are a PITA despite their cute-ness. I used to have a job where I drove around to people's homes. On April 1 I posted on FB with a picture of a cute Aussie puppy and wrote:

"Was at a farm today. This fella was the last of the litter. Owner said I could have it for free as they want him gone. I hope (wife) will be okay with breaking the 'no puppies' rule."

Fell for it hook, line and sinker. laugh It didn't hurt that all of her friends piled on with accolades, not a single one of them apparently glancing at a calendar that day. She still brings that one up.

 

This wasn't on April 1 but rates as a similar prank. I had been trying to buy an Eleanor (the real one, not the ugly Nicolas Cage one) diecast for awhile and finally scored one on Ebay. I also owned a '65 F100 truck and a matching diecast.  A poorly lit photo taken on my treadmill that looked like my driveway at night and fooled several of my friends.

"I finally bought a vintage Mustang. Just got home with it. Better pictures tomorrow in the daylight."

Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway had a really funny one but the majority of people here wouldn't get it, and it'd take a lot of explaining
