When it was dark outside, we used to take a bunch of old paint buckets and would tie a string to them, and then tie the other end to someones rear tow hook and then watch them drive off having no idea they looked like they just got married hill billy style.

We also used to take caution tape and string it across multiple mailboxes along this one sub street and we would hide in the trees, and watch people get out of their cars and start cursing like mad after the 3rd set of mailboxes.

Lol we are not nice people.

Oh, I forgot about this one! My ex got married a few years ago and I switched the strippers into male ones. Okay, I admit I did it because the fiancé asked me to so there was an element of nice in it.

Had this coworker who was fanatical about many things, border line OCD. Every morning he would sharpen his pencils and clean his keyboard. So one night I put rubber cement in his pencil cup and put all 25 of his pencils(or whatever a box of them was). Next morning solid chunk he could not sharpen his pencils. Same guy went on vacation, had 5 plants in his cubicle he trimmed and watered daily. He asks the guy across the aisle to water his plants. I'm driving home and see these dead house plants on the curb for trash pickup, I throw them in the trunk and the next day take them work hide his nice pants and substitute these dead ones. Comes back from vacation and almost cried.
Another time on at a client with a co worker from consulting company. guys a piece of work constantly yapping on the phone we shared. Got so fed up one day I get an extra phone cord and pierce the wires with a straight pin and cut the pin off at the edges. Every time he leaves the office I switch cords and call the extension from elsewhere. The cord is shorted and he can't hear anything but calls the help desk, they come out he goes and lets them in key swipe entry , I quickly switch the cord back, nothing wrong. This goes on for like a month until finally one day his wife calls and he goes beserk because he can't hear her calling the other person names etc.. Had to give up then but never owned up to it.
Had a manager I reported to at another client that I knew really well, we changed all the associated application to certain keys on his keyboard so every time he would type a certain sequence, he loved windows keyboard short cuts, it would fire up the most bizarre applications, mostly kids things like reader rabbit and such. Funny thing is he had a large scale display behind him which showed everything and people would die laughing when that stupid animated rabbit would pop up signing.
Best one on me was ex wife, going in for a vasectomy day before she comes home and starts telling me about rebound sperm tension and the side effects etc.. Now she's an ER nurse so why doubt her, I was so worried and icing the apple bag and measuring etc. hoping not swell up and need them cut open. She owned up to after 2 days.

Never intended this as a prank on the family, but it turned out that way in a twisted kinda way.

I'd been married for less than a year. Called a family (mine) meeting. Left wife at home.
Me: "<wife's name> is pregnant."
Mom almost leapt out of her chair clapping and all excited. That's when I realized I didn't handle this quite right.
Me: "It's not mine"

Maybe this should be in that other thread???

That ex of yours is my new favorite person lol! That was an epic prank!

I don't know if April fools is a tradition here, but they are strictly forbidden in my family. 1.4 my god got ran over while on a walk with someone else than me and I didn't believe the news at first at all, same date few years later I had a rare female moment, and I actually screamed like a little girl while encountering a rat I was warned about but the date fooled me, once someone I truly loved got a heart track and I didn't believe the news, and two years ago my spouse started laughing when I told him my dad died. That one was epic, when he realized I wasn't joking, his face made me laugh. After that situation and the shame that followed we banned that day.

Very similar, had a co-worker that left his computer logged in to every program. We changed his desktop & screensaver from Jennifer Aniston to shirtless Brad Pitt and sent a letter of resignation to the VP in charge of all of us. The VP was in on the joke and had the guy in tears when he accepted it.

Oh, this reminded me! A person I know left his mail open, and his gf whom he had tried to dump for a month got a mail declaring his undying love. Can't remember who it was who did this, but even in my books that was cruel.

My VP regularly trolls on Cheezburger for office pranks.

He put this sign on the copier next to our HR department and an hour later I heard the HR Mgr, repeating "1 copy" over and over.

In middle school, I got in trouble and was sentenced to Saturday school (where you come in for 2 hours on Saturday and do homework in the library). Since it was a hot day and I didn't feel like walking back home right away after, I managed to sneak into the computer lab. At first it was to play games by myself (but basic educational crap like Oregon Trail and Zoombinis).

Suddenly, I remembered that my TA friend gave me the admin password, so I rigged all the computers to have thehamsterdance.com as the home page (well, no longer up... It was 1999 folks, but here's an almost exact replica), so I opened Task Scheduler to open the browser for the first class of the day (I even rigged one to come on first, and then the rest later), then cranked the volume on every computer, then reseated the mouse and keyboard (with PS/2 connections you'd have to restart the computer for it to work again).

Come Monday morning since my class was across the from the lab and the door was open, I can hear the teacher yelling at one kid for "disrupting the class", then while he was vehemently denying it, the teacher said "Bullshit, Mr. Parrinello's (our VP) office, NOW!!" Then almost a dramatic pause later, one by one the other computers started cranking it, and it went on for a good 5 minutes since he was trying desperately to 3-finger salute the computers, then had to go around one by one to hard restart the computers. The faculty never found out who did it, and it got people humming the song for weeks .

Most amazing prank I ever did was when I worked inside sales a long time ago. You can picture it: back in the days when people worked in cubicles like cattle. There was this one guy in our team and he wasn't the brightest. One day, I ran a USB connection cord from his PC, under the cubicle wall, to mine and connected a mouse and keyboard to it. I wanted this to be a long running prank, so in the beginning I would just jiggle the mouse every once in a while. Over the next few days, it would be making sure the mouse was moving a lot, especially when he was working on something important. In week two, I would occasionally close all the windows on his desktop. And the last few days, I would start typing messages on his screen. It was so amazing. This guy had the shortest temper in the world as it was, and he would literally have complete mental breakdowns at his desk.

The prank came to an end when he really thought his computer was hacked, and he informed IT security. This was a Fortune 100 company, so IT security guys came to his desk. When he was explaining it, it was time for me to break the news to him. Oh man oh man. It was amazing.

Hahaa. Geeks are cruel, I learned my lesson when an ex and I made a bet about him getting into my computer, and he did just that. Nowadays even my phone is under 18 mark password I rotate. I read texts seldom.

Lups, you're awesome, but I honestly can't understand half the dumb shit you post on this forum.

haha, k, lets write it better then.

April first is a traditional dooms day in my family, but everyone else plays tricks on others then. In our family, all bad shit happens then, dogs get ran over, people die or end up minutes away from it, and we banned tricks from that day after we had that tiny "Dad just died" "Hahahha", "Dude, seriously, just died" incident.

Tiny typo there too, god, dog, apparently if I don't write it right, I still read it right by myself. Also, I have no idea about the traditions here, we have that stupid day, maybe you are wiser and play tricks on other.

I can't imagine listening to you talk. It'd probably be like talking to a bangable version of Grimlock.
