Pranks

[The Master]

Last night, Toni told me to watch Paranormal Activity. After the movie was done my boyfriend, Randy, left the room to go downstairs to find something to eat before bed... After he left, the door started moving until it opened all the way and then almost closed. AND I FLIPPED OUT!
He came back in a few seconds later but I didn't hear him go up the stairs from the kitchen so I KNEW then that he had something to do with it...
I looked at him and he started laughing It was all a prank...

This thread is about pranks, either done TOO you or BY you.
Post your prank experiences here!

When we were younger my sister, friend and I watched the 'candy man' movie the one where you say candy man 5 times in a mirror and the candy man or whatever comes out and gets you.
Anyway after the movie my sister left to get a drink and my friend climbed into his cupboard which had a mirror on the front. When my sister came back she asked where he went so I told her to the bathroom and then said it would be funny if she said candy man into the cupboard mirror and the candyman got her. She was young so she was stupid enough to do it after I called her scared a couple of times and after the 5th time she said Candy man my friend jumped out of the cupboard and scared the crap out of her she fell over and everything. It was a good laugh!

Another small prank I've done is just change the keys on people's keyboards at work...but I realised that didn't matter because they touch type and wouldn't even look at they keys >_>

University is a good time to do pranks.

I was sort of indirectly involved in one last year. By that I mean I was complicit in the crime. I lived with rather mischievous hallmates; life with them was certainly colourful and I do kind of miss them, sadly. I came back from a seminar one day to find a rope tied to someone's room's door knob, fastened round a corner to the nearby bathroom door which was then tightly wound up on my room's door knob. I was told by the chief prankster that he was trapping my neighbour in his room unsuspectingly and that I should probably come back in a few hours.

And so I did. I decided to piss off to the library for a good few hours before coming back again. Goodness knows what actually happened after that, because strangely, I don't really recall it. I'm kind of wondering what he had to do when he needed the toilet...

I was more actively involved in another prank, also at university, and also involving my hall of residence last year. Some guy at E block forgot to lock his door before leaving to go home for Christmas. Prior to his return, several of us realised and broke into his room. The plan was to take all his items and belongings out of his room and leave them in a broom cupboard or storage room. Then we would leave behind a forged message, claiming it was from the accommodation officials stating that for whatever reason, his room had to be vacated and he would no longer be living there.

They tasked me with writing the note, so I had to make it sound as convincing as possible. I used the excuse that he failed to pay his accommodation rent for the first term and any inquiries would have to be directed at the people in charge of accommodations. I even typed it up and someone even did some of the Photoshopping to produce a very convincing note with the logos and such. It worked astonishingly well. The guy freaked out and started stomping up and down the hallway incessantly swearing while his parents immediately ran off to confront accommodation officials. I wasn't in at the time, so my accomplices stopped them before they could actually report the incident to explain everything. They got bollocked.

And there was also that time when I helped pull someone's bed out of their room. Basically, one night, this guy left his room door open and went into the kitchen to get drunk with other people. I was invited by the master prankster of the corridor to help his lot in playing a small prank on the guy. This, similar to the one above in a way, involved hauling EVERYTHING out from his room into the hallway in E block (the one next to ours). And we did mean EVERYTHING that could be moved. The giant wardrobe wouldn't budge, but practically most other things did. I helped haul the bed out (it was like one of those hospital beds with how well it moved on its wheels!). The end result was, we practically relocated all his furniture into the next hallway, with the desk, chair, bed, lamp, his deodorant and hair styling collection, etc. The guy was a bit too drunk to properly react to this at first. It only kicked in after a few minutes that his room was suddenly empty.

And this last one I'll mention; I was never involved in this one and neither was it directed at me, but it was legendary nonetheless. This was high school and the sixth formers before they graduated (to you Americans, the 18 year olds before they head off to uni) would traditionally pull some sort of prank. The one I remember the most was funnily enough in the same year that I left the school. Someone at night spray-painted a giant white penis onto the dark grey tarmac of a widely-used car park on a Sunday night. The next day, the whole school could see the big fella in all its glory. And this coincided with a performance that was being held at evenings that would involve parents coming in to watch. How did the staff react? They quickly parked cars over it to begin with, before they finally got some people in to hastily tarmac over the giant dick. They didn't do a very good job with it because once it hardened and dried, it looked like a giant splat of black on an otherwise dark grey surface. And part of the uhh, white testicle line still wasn't covered.

The headmaster did look at the giant white fella and was rumoured to have said: "I don't think it's big enough".

I've... Never done a prank before. At least not a memorable prank. I am a ball of fun, aren't I? I'm sure I was the victim of pranks before. Mostly from my Dad of all people. He does the moving doll, creepy noise, attack you from behind, etc. Nothing major though. I am not really a prankster. Oh, some of my friends at school would do some handshake trick or whatever. That's all I can think of.

Eh, I've always been more fond of the classic pranks. Like putting shaving foam on someone's hand while they're asleep and then tickle their nose. I was notorious for getting people with that one.
