Journia Thread #245: Complex Pranks You've Played

[Journia]

So I was just washing dishes and I just remembered a funny prank I played on a fellow schoolmate of mine. So I thought I'd share it with you and see if you guys and gals did anything uniquely amusing like this. So here it goes..

I was in eleventh grade, and I was in a computer class.
I sat next to this girl named Kelly Pierce, and she had these ballet shoes on all the time.
So I noticed that my sister had the same shoes at home.
So I took a picture of the shoes on my sister's floor and went ot school the next week.At computer class, I turned to her and said, "Hey Donita, are these your shoes?"And I showed her the picture, and her face was just classic.
She lifted her eyebrow and her mouth turned in three different directions, and she said quite nervously, "What the Hell? How did you get these pics?"
Aand I told her that my sister had the same shoes that she had.
Looking back on that, I am laughing my skinny butt off.

So what about you all, did you all do anything uniquely amusing like this?

i would do complex pranks, but my sister is way too guillable. i had her believing there were sharks in our pool until she was 6.

my best work was when i went to summer camp for 2 weeks, and i had my sister truly believing i was fighting a Nazi uprising in Germany to prevent World War 3. every fine detail she believed, down to the 3 pieces of shrapnel i got lodged in my butt, to the mission i eliminated an entire Nazi patrol with just my Bowie knife. and she was bragging all this to her classmates and in show and tell in her school.

ah, those were the good times...

Fucking awesome.

I was getting ready to leave an anime convention two states over. We were just checking out of a hotel when I got a call from my Gf. She wanted to know when we would be home tomorrow.
? Then I remembered my friend saying he might want to stay till monday but nothing was finalized. I ran with it.

"Around five or so, maybe later." She said okay but could tell she was upset. when I got home 5 hours later and 23 hours before I said, I checked her blog and it said we were taking as long as we could and she didn't want to wait and blah blah.

so I went to her work just as she was getting done and saw her call to say she was done and she headed for the timeclock. I cut her off and waited at the doorway that lead from the sales floor to the time clock.
she turned the corner, glanced at me, gave me a wide birth, froze as she realized "my boyfriend?" did a double take and I was like. "Hey!" Leaning nonchalantly against the wall.

She couldn't get out a sentance and I said she better punch out if she didn't want overtime. She did and I offered her a picture I had made for her at the con, but she was so shocked she just kind of walked away as if I wasn't there. "Hun, wait where you going." As if I was supposed to be there and not still in Chicago. We passed by some of our co-workers and her face was bright red. The said, "Hey DH, wha.... hey! how are you here. She said..." Her face turned Burning red and she slinked away. "Oh, did she now?" she picked up the pace. "Hun, whats wrong? where ya goin'"

Never a dull moment.

Here's an Idea I had:

Before a big party or shindig, videotape the bathroom, EMPTY, for 5 minutes or so. Then, at the party, when the victim uses the bathroom, begin playing the tape. when you hear the flush, shout, or have someone shout "OH my GOD! I GOT IT ALL ON TAPE!"
Soon as the bloke runs out, he'll see the empty bathroom, on tape, the large crowd, and put 1+1 together.

Good times.

We usually placed fake flies around teachers deck and watched them hit them until their arms fall off.
Only time I performed a complicated joke was in fourth grade of highschool. My pal and I played 'Black Magic' in front of the entire class and teacher. The game is simple, but the trick is interesting. On of us would stand in the crowd and they would debate around what object should they use. After they agree I or my friend would enter the classroom, turn our back to the wall and guess the object. I was once even tied up, black folded and guarded by four muscular classmates just to ensure we aren't cheating. They even tapped my mobile phone.
In the end almost nobody guess how we did, and those who did, didn't care about it so they kept their mouth close. Thanks to that teachers curiosity we lost 3 whole days of her classes... right before exam so she had to give everyone good grades 😛

Well, one of my faves I can think of started out by accident. We were in high school, having a class, and the guy sitting in front of me told me: "I bet you're so bitter you don't have a girlfriend."
Of course, i told him, smiling, that I wasn't. He wanted it in writing, so I wrote a big sign on my desk: "I DON'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND AND I'M PROUD OF IT!"
Imagine my surprise when I found: "Do you have a boyfriend?" on the desk right under my sign next day. A girl from the opposite shift (we have classes in 2 shifts, morning and afternoon here) wrote that. So, I placed my reply, and she would reply as well, etc. until one day I found 'Can I get (your) number?' on my desk. I wrote 'Sure' and gave her my friend's phone number.

Next week, when we were sitting in a bar, my friend told me: "Do you know what the guy who sits with me did? He gave my number to some chick. I was so confused..."
I was laughing my ass off listening to him. The funniest part is that none of them found it funny that they ain't in the same classroom and that they're the same shift. Of course, later I told him, and we had some good laughs.

I was talking to TKLVR18 on MSN, and I was on webcam. I told her I was going to make a cup of tea, and when I got the the kitchen, I found a big black wig (this was a university dorm). I donned the wig and went back to my room, and started rummaging through my stuff in front of the webcam, pretending not to notice it (and obviously keeping my face hidden). After thirty seconds or so I left, and came back normally with my cup of tea. With a concerned face, I asked TKLVR if somebody had just been in my room.

"Yeah, guy with long black hair and a blue shirt, he was going through all your stuff!"

Hook, line and sinker. 😛 She laughed when I told her, but she's been paying me back in spades ever since.

#1 My drummer used to drive almost 50 miles into downtown for work. Big city. We had one of his co-workers wire his horn to his brake lights and on his way home, every time he touched the brakes, the horn blared until he took his foot off of it. Sitting at red lights in rush hour... I'm surprised he didn't get shot. After several lights, he started braking and then throwing it in PARK as fast as possible. Then a light turns green and he has to get back in gear, so he again hits the brake, blowing the horn at the person in front of him. Instant classic.

#2 I was trying to get the attention of a girl in college and she spent a lot of time in the student union. Her other friends played a lot of ping pong and I asked her to play one day. She said no, that she sucked, and I'd just beat her too bad and embarrass her. So I said "I'll tell you what... I'll play with my left hand. She realized she might have a chance and decided to play. I was crushing shots, playing wicked angles and using big spin just annihilating her. We played one game and she quit.

Then I told her I was left-handed. [Hey... she didn't ask.] She thought it was funny. We dated for 2.5 years.


#3 I went to pick new frames for glasses. A very nice woman in her 50's met me and helped me try on almost every pair in the one section [turns out she was the mother of one of my friends in college]. She spent an hour and 15 minutes with me narrowing it down and being very patient. We came to 2 frames and couldn't decide, so she called over this 20-ish hot blond to get a second opinion. She said "I like the first ones, but the second pair is better with the shape of your face." I put both hands up, pulled the glasses off, and said "OMG... I'm so sorry.... these aren't for me."

She said "You're buying glasses for someone else?"

And I told her "Yeah. They'll be in a little bit later today." Then I walked out of the store while they stood there expressionless. I gave them a minute and went back in. They were still standing there staring at each other.

😱 Yeah, you got me, ynfytyn (Welsh for fool-remind Senshi to tell you THAT story sometime😛). Not to mention a few nights ago when he told me he'd found my 'themesong' about an irish girl with my middle name...he sent me the file...and it was the song with the lyrics "Swimming in a see of Lee" (supposedly a girl, but you all know what he meant 😛)

Senshi's good with the spur-of-the moment gags like that--I have to plan mine out. I'm sure we all remember the Great TT Closing Scare last year that I told him was going to happen....then he posted here and scared half the board...😀😀😀

i think Dane Cook had the simplest, yet funniest party prank:

just run into the room and loudly announce: "Someone shit on the coats!"

Also, one that I remember was when friends and I were walking through the park, and a dog went past one of my friends. I was walking a few meters behind him, and I sneaked up to him, then quickly touched his leg and started barking. He went screaming, was totally red in face, and it took him about a minute to calm down.

He told me he thought sabretooth dog was getting him.

It hasn't been long enough to need to post this, but I'm going to anyway. Last week I hacked into Senshi's account and posted "I am Senshi, and I am a doodoo head!" 😀 Of course, I put that it was really me in small print at the bottom of the page. I'm evil, not mean 😀

Just a few days ago I was in the bathroom stall, using my laptop. A man ran into the bathroom and started pooping. There were many farts, many grunts, and finally the sound of poop finally leaving the anus. As the grunting and straining was going on, I searched on my computer for a nice song.

I waited until the other man aside from myself and the pooper was out of the bathroom, and then I turned the media player on. Turned the volume up to its highest pitch, and listened as The Police's I'll Be Watching You began playing. Needless to say, the man left in the next miute. 😀

Once a few years ago my sister told me that her two friends had played a prank on her and she asked me if i could help her get them back. and if i had any ideas it took me awhile to think of something and it came to when i was watching this movie called zombie. and there was a scene where the people walked in and saw three zombies eating a woman and i said thats it. so i told my sister about it and she liked it so we both put some black and white make up on our face and fake blood on our mouths and she got her girlfriend to act like she is dead and we put fake blood and meat on her stomach to look like her insides. and and she invited them to come over for a party so we waited in the dinning room and when we heard them come in the door we got ready. and they walked in and we we started picking pieces of the meat with fake blood on it off of my sisters friends stomach and acted like we where eating it the looks on my sisters friends face's where classic. they where horrified then we both looked up at them and said boo and we both started laughing. they started laughing too and they said you guys got us good.
