Your best prank

When I worked in car audio one of the owners and myself pranked the other owner(Jeff). We always had candy bars and snacks available, the big boxes from Costco/Sam's. This included M&M's. At one point there was a contest if you got a bag of M&M's with all red you won a million dollars or something. We carefully opened one package and took red M&M's from a bunch of other packs then sealed up the package with all red M&M's. The next day Jeff wanted some M&M's. I proceeded to give him the red pack.

About 5 minutes later we heard him screaming for joy..... We gave him about 15 mins to bask in his glory. Needless to say we didn't get our Friday pizza lunch that week. LOL!!!!

My buddy took his wife to a destination wedding and a few days of vacation.

We put a For Sale by Owner sign in his front yard with his cell # and an aggressive price for the house.

He got A LOT of calls and couldn't figure out what the hell was going on for a few hours 

I keep one of these masks around and randomly scare friends and family a handful of times a year, hiding behind a door or around a corner, it's great fun. 

Not exactly a prank, but more of a spur-of-the-moment "gotcha." 

When I was in high school, a buddy of mine and I were driving around town, just hanging out. Getting Big Gulps, talking about girls, etc.; you get the drift. I ended up parking at the very end of our school's parking lot just to not be driving for a while. Eventually some other friends pulled into the lot way on the other side and started hanging out. One of them, John, started walking over to my truck, so I thought he was going to say hi. As it turned out, he just needed something to piss behind. He didn't even think to look and see if anyone was in the truck, so he goes around the front and starts to do his business.
My buddy opens his mouth to say something to John, and I said, softly, "shhhhsh, wait." I waited until he whipped it out and got a good stream going (couldn't see for sure, but I was relying on my sense of timing. 

Then, I leaned into the horn and flashed the lights. John jumped about 10 feet into the air, pissed all over himself, and started freaking out. Sorry man, I had to! 

I'm a huge fan of pranks. As long as no one actually gets hurt, and you don't damage anyone's property.

I have a ton but the first one that comes to mind is our safety glasses prank. In the tool and dye business we used prussian blue which is designed to transfer marks from one steel surface to another. That being said once it gets on your skin it is going on to any other part of your skin. We would put a small dab of it on the bridge of someone's safety glasses that they left on a bench. Of course, it's so small you never feel it and eventually the guy sweats a little or takes off his glasses and it will drip down his face or he will rub his nose. The funniest is when a guy gets it on his hand and has a troublesome problem that he has to think about and rubs his chin. Guys end up with blue all over their face and hands.   

Pretty darn close on some guys. I miss those days so much. Work used to be so fun. 

I told this story years ago but I got a friend I used to fish tournaments with real bad and had the gopro going.  We would meet at a gas station around 4/5am and ride together to the lake.  I put a fake 50k scratch off with a few others in an envelope and said I found it in the parking lot. So we both take 3, he the fake. His face lit up and he went nuts thinking he won it. He dropped about 20 happy F bombs and going on about where the office to go to get paid was and already knew the procedure but i suggested that he read the back anyway and it said to bring it to "Yo moma". Doh  I just actually felt bad.  

Now the worst but funniest at first...  My parents are over and my dad points out the fake scratch off. I am thinking he remembers the prank I did on my friend so I say , you know about those and he nods. I give him one and say give one of those to your friends but he just starts scratching it. I realize he thinks it real. He looks at it a few times to be clear but doesn't say a word. He puts it in his shirt pocket and walks over and wispers in my mom's ear. I tell my wife what's happening and we are in that silent epic laughter. My mom screams and they are jumping up and down which I have never seen. All four of us are hysterically laughing and can't speak but for different reasons. I realize this is going to be heartbreaking.  I break the news and they left. Didn't talk for a week for the first time ever.  It's a cruel one. But dam if I caught that one on tape it would of went viral because the way it unfolded was crazy but no I'm out on that one ever again.  

I had my "M" and "N" keys switched on my keyboard once. That had my pretty frustrated with my password for a while. I don't really have my keys memorized like I should .

Another time I put 3 of those cigarette poppers in my dad's cigarette. He lit that thing and blew everything off but the filter between his fingers. I think I laughed for 3 days after that just thinking about it.

My eldest brother went to the outhouse at deer camp so me and my other brother snuck out of the cabin, he with a shotgun and me with a handful of gravel. On the count of 3 the shotgun blasts safely off into the woods and I throw the gravel at the outhouse. Funny for all but one.

New biker type with cookie cutter bagger. I pour a small amount of oil under his  engine. The next day under the primary case. He goes apeshit, the kinda guy that has to take his bike in to the dealer to get the mirrors adjusted. Total dimwit.
After about a week i gave him and the dealer a break.

Back in around 2002, My freind/associate pussed out of his 2nd moto so I said let me use your gear and I'll ride it for you.  I wasn't racing that day. 250C class, I was an A rider, put on his nasty gear and blazed the biggest holeshot in history, led for 3 laps, then pulled off  early so I wouldn't get permanantly disqualified. In retrospect, it was probably one of the stupidest things I've ever done.Lots of laughs though.

Put a dead frozen possum in a co-workers car (was winter) - in the front seat staring at him when he opened the door..We actually got yelled at by the boss for that one. 

We had a stretch of weather a few years back in the single digits . I went outside hourly and with a spray bottle wet down a coworkers windshield, throw snow on it and more water ,his windshield had an inch of solid ice . Afterwards he told me his defroster didbt work .

When the shop rags were delivered to one shop I worked at, they were bound with string. Eventually one of us tied a string to a bumper with a couple pop cans at the end of it. If the guy liked his music loud, he could make it quite far without hearing the cans dragging on the road. We all started getting wise and checking our cars in the parking lot which only made it more fun. Twenty guys waiting at the time clock at 5:30 and every guy doing a perimeter sweep of their car. We got really good at disguising it, perching the pop cans on top of the rear axle so even if you got on your knees, you wouldn't see anything then a couple blocks down the road you drive by your buddy who is flipping you off. I managed to pull off one of the best ones I tied the car end of the string high enough that the pop cans weren't dragging the ground, and I did three strings with one pop can each. We laughed our asses off as we are sitting in a turning lane and my buddy drives through the intersection at 50 mph with 3 cans doing circles in the air behind his car. He drove a half an hour home with no idea the cans were back there. 

Another recuring prank was dribble glasses. Starts out poking a hole in someone's coffee and eventually they start looking for it so you move on to their plastic bottle of pop. Guys start looking for that and then you gotta get tricky. You would lift out the label and put the smallest hole you could with a scriber under the label. It got so bad you would see guys blowing into their pop bottle to see if it was vented before drinking from it. 

I used to drink my coffee out of a glass mason jar with handle. One day I come back from lunch and my coffee cup has water in it and a GOLDFISH. I looked at it said "You sonsa bitches." and clocked out. I was only gone long enough to get a little goldfish bowl complete with rocks, fake plants and little scuba diver dude. That damn fish lasted about a year. 

We all busted each other's balls but what a tight group of guys. I'd give just about anything to work with that crew again, I work in a car dealership now and it's so effing cutthroat and everyone hates each other. Sad  

There's a pizza place in town called Woodstock's Pizza that changed locations to another building down the street from its new location about 6 months ago.  They must have had some kind of double lease because a new business took over half of the old storefront, and thus only took down half the sign leaving "ock's Pizza" still up on the roof.  Needless to say it would have been a disservice to the citizens of our town to not fix this sign, so I 3D printed a giant "C", then me and a buddy snuck up on the roof early one morning and hung it from the top with some bailing wire to create "Cock's Pizza".  The funny thing is it's still up there months later and has become a bit of a running joke throughout the town because it's on one of the busiest streets in downtown, but still nobody knows who did it 

A few time I got my boss by putting a box with no bottom on his desk then filling  it with packing peanuts .

We have an honesty snack shop in our factory, been there for years , sell all sorts , potato chips, chocolate, ramen, drinks, pastries and whatever. 

Run by 2 guys on the shop, they constantly bicker about each of them buying stuff that wont sell. 

Every couple of weeks , there is a special, they add a sign to the fridge door , and put it on the bottom of the checklist , so they can see what ties up. 

Also, in my office, is a guy who is the proper 'smashed Avocado on toast' for breakfast type. 

For shits and giggles, i buy 4 Avocado's , stick them in the fridge, add the sign, and put them on the list,  then send the other guy i work with down to 'buy ' one. 

He comes back with ' hey , they are doing Avocado's in the snack shop' , which gets him to go and buy one. 

He raves about it, and thanks the guy for ' catering to new needs' next time he sees him. 

Of course he knows fuck all about it, and had assumed it was the other guy,and when he confronts him, and he knows nothing either, they realise its a prank.

Unknown to me, this caused quite a stir on the shop, to the point where accusations and denials were flying round all over the place. 

Eventually, both of those guys came up to talk to Avocado man, about some tooling, and i asked them how the Avocado business was going.  Having all 3 of them suddenly realise it was me, was quite funny.  Apparently i wasnt even in the top 10 of suspects. 

Being young and hanging out some of us decided to go to the mall and watch a movie.  It is about 20 miles and we took 3 or 4 cars.  I rode with a buddy in a built up 79 F150 and the whole way he was complaining about that thing drinking gas.  He got something like 7 mile to the gallon.  

The movie lets out and we all make our way to the parking lot.  It is pitch dark, the mall itself closed at least and hour before and the parking lot was empty except for our cars.  We gather around and talk for a few minutes before jumping in and heading back to our town.  I didn't realize the mall was going to be closed when we got out and I had to take a screaming piss.  So I pissed under his fender well and back tire with really no one noticing or thinking anything about it.  It was massive, like an elephant took a piss and left a big circle about 6 foot around and running behind his truck.  We gather back and go to get in our vehicles and leave and I told a couple of my other buddies, hey watch this.  We walk up to get in the truck and I say hell Curtis, this is why your truck is chewing so much gas.  Your fucking tank is leaking.  He is mad as hell, screaming SOB that is a new tank.  I'm kinda stunned, I couldn't believe he bought it and I couldn't believe how mad he was about it.  So I said, that has to be gas doesn't it?  It can't be your radiator it is at the back of your truck.  He was looking around frantically and in the most defeated way said No! it has to be gas.  I acted kind of confused and asked...Are ya sure?  That's when the magic happened when he got down and all 4's and smelled it.  Soon as he realized it was piss OMG he was mad.  The next five minutes was us trying to breath from laughing so hard and him chasing us around the parking lot because he wasn't sure who really did it.  I played the role of I saw it the same as you did.  LOL  

It wasn’t a prank at all,  but this reminds me of something. 

In my 20’s, I was an excavation contractor, and one of my workers and I were getting ready to head out. 
I had just taken a leak in front of my Mack dump truck, not thinking about it at all, but most of the pee was running back under the truck. 
Well, ole Billy saw a puddle, and he was one that thought he should dip his finger in it and taste to see if it was antifreeze or diesel ( I don’t know why he thought that was a good idea) .

I stopped him when his finger was about an inch from his tongue! 

My mom was quite the prankster and always moving my stuff around, putting on a mask and trying to startle me, prank phone calls (before caller ID), etc.  Well, she hated mice with a passion...I'm about 17 and was in a store and bought a couple of small rubber mice.  I put one in her tissue box so that when she pulled a tissue this mouse comes flying out and the other went in her "chicken in a biscuit" cracker box.  First thing the next morning the mouse comes out of the tissue box and the screaming commenced...woke me up and I thought there was an intruder.  I laughed so hard I didn't think I would make it to school.  Didn't get to experience the cracker box mouse as I was not at home.  She cut out the pranks for a few months .  Damn I miss her.

I replaced some photos in a family photo frame in my parents house with some pictures of Ainsley Harriott (UK Chef and TV Presenter). 

Was well over a month before my Mum finally noticed and called me in histerics 

Many years years ago I was a service mgr at a HD dealer and I had a tech that was always messing with the others so one day we mounted a huge dildo on his lifted truck's trailer hitch. He drove that sucker all over town...needless to say the next day he wasn't amused.

In college one of my roommates fell asleep on the couch after a few afternoon brewskis. I poured a little water on the crotch of his pants and pulled the coffee table over towards the couch. Put a bowl of water on the table, put his hand in said bowl. Woke him up and made him think he pissed himself it was great. 

Scrambled the office phone extensions on a co-workers phone list. Was calling the wrong co-workers for the longest time.

The phone thing made me think of a prank my best friend told me about. He was head of engineering and was supposed to be more professional but he couldn't help himself. He would go into the records room so that it would come up on caller ID as such and he would start a conference call and call people he knew didn't get along or like each other 

I did recently order a 3 pack of annoyatrons, basically a little chirper like a smoke detector that need a battery change . There's a guy at work I plan to put them near the areas he takes his breaks. It's retaliation for him put a roll of caps In a die I had in the spotting press. Nothing like shitting yourself when you bring a stamping die on bottom to check trim steels and a whole roll of caps explodes .

My parents tell a story about how my surgeon godfather was going on a honeymoon to the islands where nude sun bathing was a thing and they held him down and poured the blue surgery dye on his crotch area before he left. 

I needed the computer guy at work to do something on my computer. He forgot to sign out so I sent an email from "administration" to a friend that said you spend to much time on the internet and it needs to stop before we have to inform your boss. The poor guy was white as a ghost when I checked on him.
