fun thread bump
Stuck up prissy roommate. Switched spray detangler with hairspray and vice versa.
I do this to my wife occasionally when she drives and then need to run into a store while I wait in the car.
I've programmed a fax machine that had a "poll" mode to dial someone's extension every half hour.
I.T. people might appreciate this. Back when we used dumb terminals, I put a script in the scheduler to screw with a certain person's terminal at seemingly random times. Sometimes it would send a ^G (a beep) to the terminal. Other times it would cause the screen to flash. Other times it would turn on the audible key click on the keyboard.
At first, she thought something was wrong with her terminal. But the woman I did it to was a very meticulous person and after several weeks she came to me with a piece of paper that had a schedule of the dates and times of past beeps, flashes, and key clicks! She figured out it was done on purpose because there was a pattern to the times - I wasn't "random" enough I guess.
You can drive someone crazy by removing the little pizo-electric speaker and chip assembly from a singing greeting card and hiding it somewhere inside a co-workers desk. The cavities in the desk make it almost impossible to locate. It will take about two hours before the victim is ripping his/her desk apart to find the little ba$tard before they have to listen to "Jingle Bells" one more time. Its sort of like the chinese water torture, very funny to watch...
4th floor hallway has 3 doors accross from elevator with plastic signs mounted on them.
Stairs, Men and Women
Plastic signs slip into metal frame, all the same size.
They will not be in the same order on Friday April 1.
Have phillips screwdriver, will travel.
When I was in college somebody got a copy of the housing letterhead and wrote a letter that said that the plumbing was being updated and that for two weeks only "liquid waste" could be flushed down the toilets. All "solid waste" was to be put into a small garbage bag and delivered to the front desk of the dorm. They made about 1000 copies of it and slid it under each door. It was so official looking I wouldn't doubt if somebody actually fell for it.
Every April Fools day someone in my office used to pull the same prank. He would leave one of those pink "While you were out" phone message slips in peoples message slots indicating that a Mr. Lyon had called. The return phone number indicated would be the phone number for the city zoo. The secretary at the zoo got so used to this she would would respond to the callers that Mr. Lyon was unavailable but Mr. Monkey and Mr. Rhino were there to take the call. At this point the victim would figure out that they had been had.
Shaving Creame and or Whipped Creame on the ear piece of a phone reciever.. (not a lot) a little dab'll do ya.
Then call over one of your coworkers and tell em they have a phone call.
Works every time.
Here's a minor one off the cuff:
My cousin rubber-banded the sink hose handle so it would be on when the water was turned on, then pointed it front and center. When my Aunt came in and turned on the water, she literally got hosed. Lucky for him, she was a good sport.
In college I lived in a house with 3 three friends. One of them had found somewhere a box of hardcore porn mags. He, and I think he had help, cut out a whole bunch of pictures and snuck them in all sorts of places in my room. It included coat pockets, shirt pockets, in shoes, hidden everywhere for me to find. I don't know how long it was that I kept finding these, but luckily never at a too embarassing moment.
Sketched a dead rat on a piece of cardboard. Carefully cut it out and placed it in the recessed light fixture of the personnel managers office. 3 times!! :-)
While working in an aircraft repair facility, A&P mechanics worship their tools and tool chest. One particularly unfriendly and very possesive mechanic was on his 2 week vacation when we strung up his tool chest and hoisted it 110 feet above the hanger into the rafters. Upon his return, and 3 hours into his search for his now "stolen" tool box, we all point "UP". :-)
12, 16 inch plastic wire ties (the kind the cops use for cheap handcuffs) wraped around a supervisors driveshaft of his 4x4 pickup makes for the NOISIEST drive home you ever heard!!! :-)
We lifted the supervisors kissass assistant's Toyota Rav4 up with a forklift and placed a cutout watermellon half under each tire and lowered it back down. He couldn't move until his tires finally wore through an inch and a hallf of watermellon rhine. he just sat there in 4wd for a half hour not moving but tires spinning!! :-)
There's more!!! :-)
Guy that we all hated in college left for spring break. We broke into his dorm room, opened all his drawers and threw all his clothes on the floor. We then put a live chicken and a TON of feed in the room for a week. Not a square inch of the floor, desk, bed, etc. was clean when he got back.
At work: Remote control fart machine
While in college, my sorority sisters and I would "raid" a fraternity when that fraternity was having an exchange with a sorority from a neighboring college. We would turn all their showers on hot and dump macaroni noodles on the floor, saran-wrap the toilets, and vaseline the door knobs. We would also fill old 33 1/3 album covers with baby powder, slide the opening of the album cover under the door, and then jump on it... result: baby poweder all over the room. Much, much fun!
While stationed in Okinawa I got my buddy pretty good. Our covers (hats for you Army, Air Force, and civilian types)have a small pocket on the inside front. I put raw onions in his cover. He walked around for 3 days sniffing his arm pits.
He did get me back about a week later. He snuck into my room and made yellow ice cubes.
Bump for a later read and maybe an Army/Navy Week tale or two.
I knew he had an important class in the early afternoon so I set all the clocks in the room (including his watch) ahead several hours to just minutes before his class was supposed to start. I then shook him and told him he was late for this class. He jumped out of bed, checked his watch, muttered some thing unfortunate, took a quick shower and then dressed and flew off to his class.
When I saw him later that day, he said he had made it all the way to his class and sat down. He said that as other students started to file in, he suddenly realized that he didn't recognize any of them. He finally looked up at the clock in the room and it was only then that he realized what I had done. I had to sleep with my eyes open for a while after that.
