Really good pranks

Whens the last time you pulled a really good prank on someone? Let's her em!

Get an idea from watching the latest Top Gear? ;)

Really good? Iono, but the last one I pulled was appreciated by the prankee.

The other day, co-worker tossed a crumpled paper towel into my workstation. I got him back a couple days later, by stuffing some paper towel deep into one of his work boots.

A small piece of clear tape on the laser of an optical mouse.

It won't track right at all. When they replace the mouse, do it again.

On a windows machine, use control+alt+arrow key to rotate the display. Freaks people out.

Take one uncooked shrimp. Hide it anywhere.

(Except on, or in, yourself.)

I have a habit of taking peoples cell phones, and changing the languages. Usually portugese. I can't read portugese, but it's fairly close to spanish- and I can read enough spanish to program a phone.

Orajel on someone's drink rim or toothbrush. Or take a pocket knife and put a tiny dribble hole in someone's beer can.

Similar is a piece of tape on a phone. Either on the earpiece holes, the mouthpiece holes, or the hook switch.

Once got an unused urinal cake, broke it into small pieces and hid them around the boss's office. For about a week after that, he'd be talking about something and in the middle of his spiel about whatever he'd exclaim 'It smells like the damn bathroom in here!' Everybody was in on the joke, man that was funny.

When I was 10, I ordered 2 Porta-Johns to be delivered to the local bully's home...COD. It was really funny until the delivery guy found out that it was a prank and came after us. I guess the hysterical laughter in the street gave us away...

I ran soo fast.

Here's a good one to play on an anonymous person. Spread some peanut butter on some toilet paper (peanut butter in a ziplock bag in your pocket) and drop it so it lands JUST on the other side of the stall wall and say "Oh man, mind giving that back to me". Just gotta not laugh as you say it.

On a similar note, the contents of a can of sardines placed inside a hubcap can be quite entertaining, provided you do not have to ride in the afflicted vehicle.

One or two salt and vinegar chips in the bowl of regular chips...

I like this. It's better than wasting shrimp.

I'm thinking: Remove trailer hitch from receiver, install sardines, reinstall hitch.

That just sounds like a fantastic treat for anyone lucky enough to find the salt and vinegar chips.

worst we ever did.. friend of mine in college went to a party without inviting any of us.. so we jacked his firebird up and slid some black painted cinderblocks under the suspension.. they wheels were JUST off of the ground.

we then shrinkwrapped the car from bumper to bumper

Another time.. we broke into a friend's car and placed a lubricated condom over the shifter.

Not that I'm a prankster but when ya gotta do whatcha gotta do fox urine hunting cover scent strategically placed on an adversaries belongings or work space can be highly redeeming.

Apply w/ q-tip or the like n don't get it onya... it's nasty

Oh hell yeah! The Boy got one of those and set it on top of a beam in the office of one of his customers, when he was running a delivery service. He let them in on the joke after a week.

He tried to get me with it. Since he had shown it to me, I knew what to look for. It only took until the third noise, for me to find it. Payback was a motherberkeleyer, though: 10pm, 10degrees out, his car breaks down. (See my response in "What gift car, to whom and why, lottery style thread"). I went to try to help. Timing belt was fragged (thankfully, non-interference motor). Battery was near dead. I gave him my AAA card and told him to have them take it to the shop. But, not before I had him open the passenger door, so I could tell him something...and inconspicuously toss the Annoyatron into his junk-filled, no-heat, no-lights, no-radio car. I think I was about five minutes away, when I got a call from him, "You berkeleyer*. Where is it?" I laughed my ass off the whole way home.

*we can talk to each other that way, in times like these.

But still shocking when you don't expect it!

Muffler taped to the top of the muffler, they wont find it for months and the heat makes it so much worse.

Or so I've heard...
