Stupid Pranks That Make You Smile (NRR)

With all the crap going on in the world (debtapocalypse, Norway bombing/shootings, Amy Winehouse, etc.) sometimes I just need to laugh as someone else's (non-lethal) pain.
My dad would sometimes slip a hot pepper into the stir-fry he was cooking just to see who would get it. I got it the last time he pulled it and I was literally chugging water from the tap.
I used to screen shot fellow computer tech's desktops, make it the wall paper, hide their real icons and then watch them try to click on something to open it (sadly Windows XP stopped that bit of fun).
Here is something that made me smile today:
What stupid pranks have you pulled, been the target of, or were a bystander to?

i dont get it
Capiche?
what im not understanding is how said result is achieved.
Its the same as when the tap is on and you press your finger against the hole to stop the water coming out = increase in pressure = you get wet.
1. Take a mug and fill it with water (I find that something opaque is best).
2. Take a piece of card and place/hold over the top of mug.
3. Flip the mug upside down, holding the card in place to retain the water inside.
4. Place the upturned mug/card on a table.
5. Remove the card.
Now you have an upturned mug full of water on a table.
Leave it for someone and let the fun ensue.
Fill up a water bottle or a 2 liter soda bottle with water all the way to the top.
Put the cap back on tight
Punch holes with a needle all over the bottle and leave it on the counter.
When the cap is removed it will leak tiny streams of water everywhere.
Good thread. I only have mean pranks to share.
I've been rolling around with one of these for almost 3 years now. Endless comedy.
I'm planning my response now.
The last one I did was for a co-worker who was away on vacation. When he returned his desk area was full and was greeted with
looking to get back at someone (friends/business/ex-landlord/or neighborhood idiot) get a masonjar (freezer jam type) fill it half way with milk, place some raw chicken in the jar (jar should be about filled now) and some vinegar seal the jar give a shake here and a lil shake there, hide the jar where no one will find it it (in a cardboard box) should only take a few weeks for some "action to start happening in the jar" it will burst open and clear any room or office building..done like dinner!
Remote control fart machines are fun too
Using epoxy or super glue when screwing the lid on ensures good seal for pressure build up.
recreated this one at a friends cottage to hilarious result..... and near physical altercation.
I do that to my wife all the time.
"Lady, stop following me"
Okay, Piss frisbees. great for exacting revenge on noisy upstairs neighbors.
Take some piss and pour it onto a dinner plate.
Put pissy dinner plate in freezer, careful now.
Once it has frozen, slide the piss frisbee off the plate and slip it under your dickhead neighbor's door.
1. Taping...which was putting duct tape sticky-side up out in the road. When a car tire rolls over it, it sticks, and then starts flapping around sounding like a flat tire. Once the person would pull over to investigate, we'd laugh at them.
2. Window tapping...which was at night taping fishing line with a tiny metal sinker attached right above someone's window, then running the line across the street where we'd hide in the bushes and tap the window with the sinker until we laughed at the person at the window wondering what the hell was going on.
3. Fake fights...we'd stage a fight right on the sidewalk of a main street to see who would pull over to try to break it up.
When I worked at Amoeba we had one of the remote control ones and people would stash it near a register and wait for you to help a customer and then blast it. So embarrassing and not even worth explaining to the customer. It was endless laughs though.
Similar to robert's tire flap, we use to run fishing wire across a street with cans on the end so that cars would pick it up and drag them.
The best trick, that never worked too well was a tight line of fishing wire across the street with an egg taped at windshield level. It was like a floating egg. Nobody ever smashed it. They all slowed down in time. This was at night too. I think this one has good potential for what the fuckness on the driver's part.
then we'd run into the woods.
When I was barely a teenager I got packed off to science camp in the high plains desert of Eastern Oregon (round Fossil, OR for the locals). It was co-ed but the girls A-Frames were on one side of the camp and boys were on the other (the A-Frames had no doors and we were sleeping in wooden bunk beds in sleeping bags).
I don't know who started it (probably it was us boys) but we got into a prank war with the girls. You know the standards stuff, we would saran wrap the girls toilets around dusk, they would put a trail of honey from an ant hive to our bunks (red ants suck in the middle of the night). We would put honey on the toilet seats, they would come through with pots and pans banging at 3:30 am to wake us up. All in good fun.
Yep, I didn't have game then and I certainly don't have it now. Thanks the gawds I married a fellow science geek.
