What are some good fun practical jokes you have played on people?
I’ll go first!
The following takes place the day of the cotton bowl in 2011. We are doing some pregame binging in Fort Worth and start talking about how one of our friends is a total panzy for not coming to the game.
Welp this friend is an insurance adjuster and we just happened to have his work number so we have our buddies wife call up the adjuster and pretend to be Whitney Snyder, hilarity ensues!
Fake Whitney(FW)- Hey this is Whitney Snyder and I just got in a car wreck.
Friend- Okay, do you know your policy number?
FW- No, I’m down in Dallas for the Cotton Bowl and I cant find it. Can you look it up by my name?
Friend- I’m not pulling anything
FW- You might check under my Dad’s name, LHC Bill Snyder, He’s the coach of Kansas State who is playing in the Cotton Bowl.
Friend-(really excited voice) O I know who he is, I’m actually a K-State grad as well, should be a great game. I’ll check under his name.
FW- O you are! Why aren’t you down in Dallas for the game?
Friend- (Some BS excuse about having to work even though he is rolling over 2 weeks of vacation) I’m not finding anything under his name
FW- Did you check under William Snyder? That's his full name...The game is in 4 hours and I need to get to the stadium
Friend- I checked. Are you sure the policy is with (Company removed)?
FW- O, I’m sure. Look under “In pursuit of perfection llc” he might of put the policy under that name.
Friend- Still not showing anything.
FW- You sound hot, what are you doing after work?
Everyone starts laughing and we razz our friend who was super excited because he thought he was actually talking with LHC Bill Snyder’s daughter the day of the cotton bowl.

One thing I've always wanted to do...
Get a guy that loads his own shotgun shells to load up a few with baby chowder instead of bird shot. And then when I'm hunting and holding a friend's gun as he's crossing a fence slip in one of those baby chowder shells. Then the next time he shoots it's just a white mess and the birds get away. :ROFL:

That would be a good one, maybe find a way to incorporate a flag that comes out of the barrel and says "BOOM"?
-
oh man yeah and then his gun will be completely ruined because there will be baby chowder all over it!

a couple of these in a truck go a long way.

i rubber banded the elevation lever on a coworkers office chair so that when he sits it sinks all the way down. pretty standard. BUT THEN i duct taped a can of axe to the chair shaft so when the chair sank all the way down it activated the sprayer lid.
so he sat in his chair and sunk down and got gassed out by AXE!!! it was super size hilarity!

i cut a guy's brakes one time, didn't tell him. should have seen the look on his wife's face at the hospital. got that mf'er real good.

called the HOA about my neighbors satellite dish being on his house.

I peed up the vents of a kid's gym locker in junior high.
-
I also realized in high school that you could pop open combination locks with weight plates from the weight room and the lock would still lock back up. So I would break into friends' lockers that had P.E. at different times than me and stretch the crap out of the necks and sleeves and bottoms of their mandatory gym t-shirts. I'm talking crazy stretched out. Then they'd have to wear them or get a no dress. They looked rough ridin' ridiculous I hear and they also could never figure out how people were getting into their lockers. I may have luked this story.
-
Also using the weight plate lock trick when we were at away meets in track I would go into the school's locker room if it was open and pop off a bunch of locks and then lock them all on a friend's gym bag or cooler or shoes. Hilarious.

I was in a prank war with a coworker when I worked at the coffee shop. I got to my opening shift at 6am and called said coworker to ask where she was (she wasn't scheduled). She freaked out and said she couldn't believe that she picked up a shift and then I told her I was just pranking her. Classic prank, right there.

I about died laughing when I saw a comic pull this joke live:
April Fools is my favorite holiday, because I like to mess with my parents. This year I called her and said, "Congratulations, you're gonna be a grandma!"...
"April Fools! We're getting an abortion.

Got pranked good. During the last Prince year, after another loss. I cant remember which one. Drunk. Very drunk. At a house party that a friend knew about, we basically know zero people at the house. I get a text from my friend that is also at this house. I have been in full on FIRE PRINCE mode, donated for the airplane banner and everything. The text says, they fired Prince turn on the TV.... I go into a frenzy start screaming and yelling at this house party about Prince being fired and to turn on the damn TV.... I basically shut this party down for a few minutes while everyone tried to confirm/deny my allegations. I made ZERO friends that evening.

A couple years after graduation I was living with a couple KU grads I had become friends with through work. I went up to Manhattan for a K-State vs KU football game. I think we won by like 50 or 60 that year. Anyway, when I came back and turned on the ceiling fan in my room I realized they had covered the top of all the blades with my protein chowder. It went everywhere. I was pretty mad for a couple days. Now I think it was pretty funny.
-
One of my roommates lit a sparkling fountain in my bedroom whilst I was sleeping with my gf. :shakesfist:
-
pretty much anything you do with someone elses protein chowder besides drink it is the best prank ever.

"April Fools! We're getting an abortion.
That is fantastic.

I paid for a friend of mine's flight with miles one time. However, I put him down for the kosher meal without him knowing!

I used to call Limestone's office and tell his secretary I was a judge or a senator and such.

When people leave their computers unlocked, I like to open up Power Point and create like 100 slides with a scree shot of their desktop on them. Then start the slide show. They get back to their desks and just cycle through the slides whenever they click on something.

my roommate drinks 2% milk all the time so one day i poured out all his 2% milk and put in skim milk :lol: :lol: :lol:

A similar one is taking a screen shot of someone's desktop, and making it their background. Then rearrange the icons, take a screenshot, make if a background, and repeat until the screen is full of icons. I like yours a lot, though.

we had a broad conspiracy to fatten up one of our friends. every time any of us would go out to eat we would make sure he was invited. we would also do stuff like bring extra cookies and pastries to his room and forget them there. i would guess he gained 20lbs that year, due at least in part to his good friends.

O man! I've pulled the "Take a screen shot then remove all Icons and make screen shot the background" a couple of times! Always good for a quick laugh.

seems like if you just did the first screen shot and then deleted all the icons, it would be way more funny.

I think part of the humor would be some icons still working. Also it's meaner to delete the icons.

i like mean funny :frown:

Grabbed my buddy's phone when he went to the bathroom at a work dinner and I quickly looked for the highest ranking person in the company that he had in his contacts. (Obviously, he had just looked at his phone so it wasn't locked.) I changed that cell phone number to my cell phone number and deleted my number under my contact on his phone. He was pretty intoxicated and I called him about 5 minutes after he got back from the bathroom. He sobered up real quick when he saw that name pop up on his iphone. Had a blank look on his face like :blank: He didn't answer :cry: so I called him back two minutes later and he still didn't answer :cry: then he went outside the restaurant to call "the CEO"! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It actually gets better!! 10 minutes later, he was setting at the end of the table talking to his boss and a couple of other guys and his phone was laying right in front of him, so I called him again hoping that he would play along....HE DID! He showed them his phone and then he answered it and was being a smart ass to "the CEO" and the people sitting around were all :eek: :eek: I had laid my phone on the table so it wouldn't be so obvious, but I fell out of my chair because I was laughing so hard. :ROFL: :ROFL:

I fly a lot for work. I write a friend of Pete and I's cell phone by the puzzles in every in flight magazine I can find. Will write "send pics" or a variation of that by it.

A few years ago one of TBT's roommates got mono and was back home sick for like 2 weeks. So we got this great idea to fill his room with balloons. We wanted to fill the entire room to the ceiling but found out blowing up that many balloons was a lot of work. So we just got it about 4-5 feet high so you couldn't see his bed or desk or anything in his room. Was pretty great when he got back and opened up the door to find all those balloons!

I put this in another thread(s), but when I get really snarky emails from friends at work, I sometimes like to reply back and say "Did you mean to copy in the entire office?"
And, below in the reply I paste in the address for the entire office, as if they accidentally added the group for the whole office.

lets fire this baby back up... post your april fools jokes you played/are playing today.
ill go first-
so ive got this guy at my office, lets call him Hank. Hank went to KU, so naturally I was going to play my jokes on him this morning. I looked at Hank's calendar yesterday before I left and saw he had a meeting with a big client for an investment opportunity (I wont say what- but be looking for a thread about a new app soon :excited:) today. Hank walks in the door in his Jos. A. Bank clearance sale suit and BOOM! I hit him right across the chest with a pot of hot coffee and scream "April Fools!!!" and run away :lol:. So Hank is kind of mad because he doesn't have a sense of humor and also his suit has a few stains on them. Since he wasn't talking to me at all, I had my buddy Mark offer some tonic water to help get the stains out and right as he walked over with the wet rag Susan the secretary pies him right in the face from behind! :lol: hes still pretty mad at us but its april fools and he needs to grow up.
what did you guys do?

I used a variation of the joke above and totally got my GF and Sister to call different zoo's asking for Mr. Lyon! It was great!
The key is to tie it into something personal with that person.....My sister judges debate/forensic tournaments and they send her checks a couple times a year to my address....I texted her and asked if she ever put down my number along with the address? Just got a call from a Mr. Lyon asking for you, wanted to know about you judging a tournament? I told him you would call him back (insert number to the KC zoo).
The GF and I went to a wedding in Manhattan back in late feb...Told her I got a call from the Mr. Lyon at the hotel asking for her, apparently something was left in the room, I had no idea what it was but told them I would have her call them back (Insert number to Sunset Zoo).
LOL!
