What was a "funny" prank you've pulled or you know someone else pulled?

Clint · Post by **Clint** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 10:11 pm

I'll start.

Some guy :sneaky: took the 25MPH signs from downtown and traded it with a 70MPH sign on the freeway. Things sure slowed down fast for a while.

That reminds me of the time I caught a guy sleeping on watch between the generators aboard ship. He was on open deck grating so I went below where the pumps were and wired his belt and loop to the grating. I never said a word to him and he never mentioned it to me. I still donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t know how he got loose?

I use to work 24 hour shifts at an ambulance station. We had sleep quarters and all as nights were usually slow and we got to sleep at night. And this prank only works in freezing weather:

I've snuck out twice to "ice a car". I stood inside the garage (against the elements) and used the hose to spray water on a car. The longer you do it, the more ice forms.

Second time I was a bit more thoughtful. I dug a sprinkler out of storage, ran it on a hose out near the car and left it all night. Management is still looking for the culprit for "behavior unbecoming". LOL

Disclaimer: These folks deserved it....paybacks are a ________.

Ok - I'll admit. I put bentonite in my neighbors pool. It seized all of the water lines. I put skunk oil into my neighbors Mercedes - peeeewww. It was years ago - I hold my anger now.

When I was a kid I had a 1950 Ford. I loved that car. We took the back seat out and left the trunk lid open. We covered a friends arm with ketchup and he hung his arm out under the trunk lid. We drove around town getting the desired results until the police saw what we were doing. I got chewed out pretty good. The officer thought that if the right person saw the Ã¢â‚¬Å“bloodyÃ¢â‚¬ arm it could cause them heart trouble.

I didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t get a ticket.

I was at family reunion about 9 years ago and my brother was throwing fire crackers out the car window when we were coming back from Wal Mart. We got pulled over by the Roswell police. They looked at our ID's and said "Aren't you a little old for this prank?" They let us go with the promise not to throw firecracdkers out the window any more.......They did not stipulate bottle rockets..:wah: :wah:

I super glued my friends bottom to the toilet once. then another friend had a thing for fire men and she kept pestering me to go knock on their door and say hello - so instead me and another friend handcuffed her to a railing butt naked, we stripped her (she was drunk) wound her in cling film and called her local station and told them she was on her hen night -she did forgave me and i still have the video......

Not sure I should follow that one but ...

I was the superintendent of vehicle ops at RAF Greenham Common, UK. Sometimes if I saw a truck just starting to pull out, I would run outside waving my arms yelling "Wait! Stop!" Well, you have to stop for the boss, so they did. I would go to the passenger's side, open the door and, looking serious, tell them "Your passenger door is open." Then I'd walk away leaving the door standing wide.

I was an innocent high school girl-no laughing now-and made sure all the boys got in trouble in class, due to my sneakiness. Ah kids! It took them 4 years to figure it out-the boys were shocked it was me!

But revenge was sweet for them. I was sitting in English class one day and the principal lumbered in with a scowl, and looked down at me and asked me what my car was doing on the football field! (yes, that beloved 1964 Chevy Nova) I didn't know, and told him it wasn't there. He dragged me out to the field, with the boys all behind me, and showed me my car-on the football field! They had hot wired it, and driven it up there. Oh, the principal was mad, and banned me from parking on campus, which was a 1/2 mile walk uphill. My sister and I trudged up the hill for a week, until the boys took pity on us and picked us up and drove us the rest of the way.

Wasn't so bad after all then...............

Oh I've seen many a funny prank in my time.

Perhaps not the funniest but at least most memorable was the one involving our English teacher.

He had spent about 10 minutes setting up the video and TV to work, as we were due to watch some boring hour long drama or something. Now after these 10 minutes, he made sure that every and I mean every detail was fine and the video was ready to start.

However just before he pressed play, he decided to go out for a quick drink of coffee. My best friend, (who was very naughty

) decided to sabotage this English lesson, and take the tape out of the machine and see how long it would be until he noticed.

We all assumed that he would spot this within a minute or less, but it took him 10 minutes, yes 10 minutes to check that the video was actually in the recorder. Oh how we giggled for days to come after that. Oh and my friend got a week's worth of detention for it - but it was worth it in my opinion :wah:

When I was shift manager in a grocery store, I'd send the person on register on break. When they'd come back to ring up their next customer, they'd turn red as they pulled boxes of condoms out of their register. I'd also hide in the milk cooler and as a customer would go to grab a thing of milk, I'd reach out and grab their hand. We had fun when I worked, but our work always got done.

I need to start by setting the background: My boss was a brown nosing SOB who mainly got where he was (no really) by brown nosing up our overall company VP.

For a year many of us were saving all the little hole punch pieces of paper stamped out of our reports, in a plastic bag. Saving them for the ultimate gag, which at the time we didn't even know whatever that might turn out to be.

Well one day at work it was raining pretty hard just before quitting time. We all knew where our boss hung up his umbrella, so one of us, (I won't say who cause I don't want to get in trouble) took that bag full of hole punches & poured them into the umbrella, & reclosed it. It was the automatic kind that you pressed the button on the handle & it popped open by itself! We were going to get him good!

We all waited by the window to watch him leave the building. As fate would have it he met up with the VP at the door leaving at the same time. Being the ever brown noser, our boss put the umbrella over the both of them (as VP forgot his umbrella) & popped the button & "POOF" a ton of confetti fell all over both of them!!! The look on both of their faces, especially our bosses was priceless!!! Was he ever motified to no end, the color of RED on his face was bright, bright red!!!

Till today he still doesn't know who did that, but I do!!! (And now you do too)

While tending bar a few years ago, I always came on duty after "Mary." Mary would never, and I mean NEVER stock anything for me: empty coolers, empty fruit tray, empty juice, nothing was ever backed up for my shift. I begged, I pleaded, I threatened, I bribed. Nothing worked. So, one holiday weekend I worked my shift, knowing that Mary was going to open the bar the following morning. A very busy morning. I took all the empty Bud and Bud Light bottles from what I'd sold, re-capped them all and stocked her cooler with empty bottles.

I never came in to an un-stocked bar after that!

Once when we were at sea on a very boring assignment, the CaptainÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Steward liked to pass the time fishing off the fantail. One day when he was fishing the Captain required his services. He left his line in the water, expecting to return in a few minutes. Some of us reeled his line in and tied a dust pan to the end of it. We let it out again and the pole began to flex just like a large fish was on. When the CaptainÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Steward returned he was very excited (he was an excitable person) that he had one on the line. He reeled and reeled with obvious glee all over his face. When he saw the dustpan he blew like a nuclear warhead. We were rolling on the deck laughing.

ok college prank.

kid down the hall was a real Killjoy. worse than BR is with me and Nomad.

late one night me a six others went out to his car. he loved that thing. 1996 cavalier convertable.

JB welded the top to the windshield, stole some brick from the construction site at teh basketball arena. jacked the car up, slid the bricks under the axels and coild springs and set it back down so the car sat almost half an inch off the ground.

he got in the next day started it up, put it in gear and didn't go anywhere.

about a week later he realized he couldn't get the top down. he burnt out the motor to it.

and like Devist8 said, he deserved it.

On opening night of a high school theater production we all sneaked out and opened the director's car and FILLED it with those styrofoam packing peanuts. Up to the top. It was beautiful!

We have a friend that is a State Trooper with one rebellious son. Oh, that boy loved pulling good ones on daddy, especially one winter. Dad always came home at 6pm for supper. While he was in the house eating, the boy would sneak outside to where dad parked his patrol car. With lots of snow on the ground, the boy would bury a plastic sled underneath the snow right at the driver's door. As soon as dad would get called out, he'd make a bee line run for his car and hit that damn sled and slid all the way underneath that car!

This is pretty stupid but it was funny at the time. There was a girl I worked with that had a thing about Gumby (dammit) she had a Gumby t shirt, Gumby this Gumby that, she also had a Gumby keychain she was fond of.....so I stole it

I left a ransom note in its place, I think I wanted pokey in exchange. She would ask everyone who did it and she was looking everywhere.

I took him and tied him with string to a pencil and hung the pencil over a little bucket of water then froze it. After the water with Gumby in it was frozen I cut away the bucket and was left with a solid block of ice. I positioned Gumby against the edge of the bucket so when it froze you could see him through the ice, anyway after she produced the ransom thats how she found him in the freezer.

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Wed Sep 07, 2005 5:45 pm

Oh ho Nomad, Gumby!

My little brother had a Winnie the Pooh-loved to tease him about that silly old bear. All my brothers and sisters picked on Winnie. My older brother made a swift hangman's noose and one day little brother comes innocently walking in the door-la-di-dah............."MOM!" as Winnie was swinging back and forth under the hangman's noose.

Well, we got punished of course. *rats*

So, next time Mom went out, she had those tacky wooden giant fork and spoons made in the Far East somewhere, hanging on the den wall as a decoration. Ha! Kids don't go for decorations that can be used as lethal weapons, especially to a Winnie the Pooh! We played that good old American past time, baseball, with Winnie as the ball. Whoosh-back and forth that bear went. "Batter up! It was my turn, and I took a hard swing and ........................crack went the durn spoon. Gosh, what would bunch of innocent bear teasers to do? We hung it up on the wall again, Mom would never notice it. Little brother was sniffling of course, and ratted us out. Whole table full of kids couldn't sit very well at dinner that night, except for little brother and that old bear!

We lived in one of those old Colonial style houses with the real high ceilings. Dad spent the better part of the day painting the ceiling. That night he and mother went to some friends and I was left to watch my younger siblings. I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t know what got into me. It has never made sense. I talked my little brother into standing on his head on my shoulders and walk across the ceiling leaving footprints. When Dad got home, the first thing he did was to check out his freshly painted ceiling.

ThatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s when I learned how to paint.

There was an old lady that lived in the neighborhood and she had a pink flamingo in her front yard............till one day.

Gone....she even called the police but you know what are they gonna do about it ?

Well she started getting pics in the mail of her flamingo, her flamingo in San Fransisco, her flamingo at the Grand Canyon, her flamingo in the Rockies.

A neighbor of hers kidnapped it and took it on vacation with them and took pics and sent them to her along the way. Then one day a few weeks later it was back in her yard, LOL ! I thought that was pretty good.

Gosh, I love flamingos, better put a lock on mine!

Our neighbors had some wooden animals as garden decorations: a wooden horse, a wooden pig, and a wooden cow. Someone stole the cow one night. *it wasn't me!* The next day they put another wooden object up in their yard, a hangman's noose with a Cattle Rustler sign on it-interviewed every kid in the neighborhood for years about that wooden cow.............

Now my grandfather kept right by those flamingos one of those cement animals-his revenge on the flamingos-a skunk! He always went out in the yard and told Stinky the Skunk he didn't looked like those silly long necked pink thingees..........

Jives · Post by **Jives** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 9:30 am

Pranks, eh? That brings back some memories!

I used to be a manager of a gas station when I was younger. Whenever we hired a new guy, it was always the rule to run him through a few hoops.

1. We switched the signs on the bathrooms so that he would go in the Women's room. While he was in there, we called up a girl who lived nearby, switched the signs back and had her walk in on him. She was an expert in acting offended. And we all tried our best to keep from falling down laughing when the poor guy came out!

2. We had a car in the back of the station that had brakes, but no motor. So we'd get my girlfriend (a ditzy blonde) to drive the car and we'd get it about a block away from the station and then give it a big push with the tow truck's push bumper.

She'd coast down into the full service bay, and ask the guy to fill up the car and check her oil. We'd all be inside just watching with baited breath as the guy opened the hood and stared incredulously at an empty engine compartment.

The fun part was when the guy would try to tell the girl she had no engine, and she would say with a straight face, "Well I had one when I drove in here, what did you do with it?"

3. We had another car that drove behind the station, and we took out the oil dipstick, cut off the handle, then welded 40 feet of 1/4 inch steel tape to the handle, so it looked like a dipstick, but was forty feet long. Then we threaded it back through the hole and ran it under the car to the trunk (boot).

It was absolutely hilarious to see the new guy pulling out the dipstick, and then staring bug-eyed as the dipstick never seemed to end! We used to bet on how far back he'd go before realizing he was being had!

4. the last car we had behind the station was an older Pontiac that we had rigged. We took out all the bolts and screws that held the body parts together and replaced them with twist ties and tiny wire. Then we had a girl drive it into the full service bay. When she came in, we told the new guy that this particular car had strong hood hinges and to be sure to slam is really hard to get it to lock.

Imagine his surprise when he slammed the hood with all his might, only to have the doors, fenders, bumpers, and mirrors fall right off!

MAN...the pay was terrible, the work was brutal, it was in Phoenix and the temperature was 110 degrees in the shade...but I sure LOVED that job! Every day was a new adventure!
