Need Help Pranking Friend

[70fireturd]

My buddy needs to be taken down a notch so I was thinking about jumping a wire from his horn to lights. The beautiful thing is that he will most likely be out and about before he needs his lights. He will have no choice but to drive back home with his horn on. I figured the easiest way to do so would be to jump the wires at the relays. Any ideas or good pranks. Oh he has a 1991 nissian 300zx.

[LateNight72]

A thick zip tie attached to the driveshaft is a classic. Though he'll instantly know.

[go-fish]

Stuff his tailpipe full of kazoo's.

[Pro Stock]

Put a dead fish under the spare tire in his trunk and the place one under his back seat, when it starts to smell really bad he will find one of them and think that he has the problem fixed. Fill one of his tires with fix-a-flat at a time that you know that the car will sit overnight, the solution thickens and settles at the bottom of the tire and causes an imbalance. If you don't want to involve his car one great thing you can do is to silicone either his bedroom or hotel room door shut shortly after you know that he is down for the night, just run a bead of it down the corner where the door and the door stop meet, it is dang near impossible to get the door open without some help from the outside.

Either of these could get you an assault charge, so use at your own risk. Pour nair in his shampoo bottle. Ex-lax cookies.

[70fireturd]

you guys are vicious but I like the input

[shmoov69]

Catfish bait (liver) on the cat convertor. Sardines in the cowl vent. I've taped whistles to the exhaust tip. Clear packing tape to various parts of the car. I do like the silicone idea, never heard of that.

[MonzaRacer]

packing suran wrap his car.

[Olav]

Paper inside one spark plug boot

i have done dead crab under seat, grease on wipers, grease under door handle

You'll burn out the horn relays most likely if you do that I think.

Ask me how I know :) Younger time - youthful indescretions

[MonzaRacer]

used to be you could buy the fireworks that hook to spark plug wires but I dont see them anymore.

[ProdigyCustoms]

All these smelly pranks can cause permanent odors. It goes beyond funny when it ruins something.

I had a friend buy another friends car (court ordered judgement for the value of the car) for throwing a duck in a friends car. Know what a duck does when it is confined? Projectile squirts!

I like your headlight / horn. Scare the hell out of him and take him 15 minutes to figure out

[MonzaRacer]

Oh yeah try using a graphite pencil and trace a couple of his plugs, or distributor cap terminals.
real mean is to disconnect shift linkage or battery terminals.
guppies in bag under seat, it will sneak up.
Also any type of stinkum from hunting shop, pour it down the vents as base of windshield lasts for long time.
Motor oil on tires then get them mad. They take off and burn out or slip bad.

sounds more like a revenge option!

[brans72]

what about sticking wheel weights on the driveshaft or zip tieing a rubber love to tailpipe so when he cranks it up blam.

[jake8092]

Side cutters to the valve stems is a sneaky little fella too, cheap to fix but really inconvenient!

[Jim Nilsen]

I had a tire once that was constantly going low slowly. I kept putting air in it every couple of days. after a month of putting off getting it in to take off the wheel to see where the leak was at, there were no signs of any nails or anything when you got it wet.

When the guy who was going to take it off and remount it to see if it was the rim he found that the valve core was loose and not all the way in, he turned it about 2 turns in and it stopped the leak.

I don't recommend doing anything that will make a car unsafe or make it smell bad and stuff like that, but if he is anal about tire pressure like I am he will never get to the unsafe part of it more than likely.

I like the wire tie on the drive shaft because it only make noise and will just remove paint at the worst in a spot you can touch up easily and it will make him have to get dirty to look.

The best one I know of to take someone down for a bunch of laughs and have everyone including strangers is this.

My brother would always fall asleep at friends houses and other places and wore a hat. My friend put a note on his hat one day he fell asleep at a friends that read,

" MY NAME IS BILLY AND I LOST MY MOMMY"

All day long people looked at him and laughed or would ask him if he had found his MOMMY or would tell him " I hope you find your MOMMY", LOL. My brother kept telling my friend that people were sure acting strange and wondered why they were asking him about his MOMMY. At the end of the day my brother took off his hat and saw the note.LOL

I think we all got more laughs out of that and it never hurt anything or anyone, even though my brother would have thought otherwise. I still laugh my ass off when I think about it and hear my brother cussing up a storm about it.

You could get him a special bumper sticker for a day!!!

:lmao:

Agreed. Pranks with damage, whether physical or smells, aint cool..

[mc84_zz4]

I would rather mess with his home than the car, you can have me clean the house, ha, ha!, but mess with the car and it's personal.
That being said, here are a few:
- unscrew all lightbulbs
- saran-wrap the toilet, put seat back down...
- cream on toilet seat
- put sand between the sheets on bed
- short-sheet the bed
- remove all labels from all cans in pantry
- KY on phone earpiece, door knobs, fridge handle, etc
- put car on blocks just 1/2" off the ground
- axle grease on the wiper blades

This one is with your judgement: get some Valerian Root capsules at health food store, open/pour 1-2 capsules onto a small paper plate, put it UNDER the refrigerator, or even in the defrost tray in the bottom of the fridge if it has one.
It smells like dog-drool and toe-cheese, REALLY disgusting. Do NOT put some down the cowl on a car, it will ruin the car, and it gets musky in humid areas, it's the gift that keeps on giving... :twothumbs:

[shmoov69]

A buddy did the floor Jack under the rear and the guy ended up spitting the trans! Kept on going half throttle and the car would not move, then going from drive to reverse and park and such, all with tire speed! Lol

ping pong balls in the gas tank would work on older cars. Put a locking gas cap on it for him! Unplug a couple fuses under the dash.

[70fireturd]

:idea: If all else fails I might just copy his car key and screw with his head for a year or so. I'll start small with changing all his radio stations to chinese stations, readjust his seat, move the car to the next parking space, or leave the car in second gear instead of first. I think I could keep that going for a year.

[ROADSTER SHOP]

Here are a few relatively harmless ones that we have done.... all after 5:00 of course!

Wire the horn to the brake light switch. Everytime he steps on the brakes, the horn comes on.

Disconnect the stereo right before a long road trip.

Pour a bunch of different fluids under his car (when parked) to make him think it is leaking. If you're good, you can keep it going for a few days.

"Sponsor" his car. We get tons of free stickers that come with parts. Gather up enough and cover all of the side and back windows with stickers like he was in NASCAR. Then put a few for him to find later like on the gas cap, under the hood, on the tops of the sun visors.... it keeps the fun going for a long time until he finds them all.

Get some extra hose and re-route the lines for the windshield washers into the car. Usually go through the passenger side door (weatherstrips allow enough room to get it through with out pinching the hose). Aim the hose at the driver seat. Cut a small piece of hard brake line and smash one end to make a sprayer/nozzle Then smear something on the windshield and enjoy.

We got real creative with this one and have run them throught he dash and out the a/c vents, or you can try going through a sunroof and mounted the nozzle in the visor for a direct face shot.

[ZZ430]

Wire an MSD coil wire under his seat cover.

[Scott Parkhurst]

The level of these pranks is pretty wide. I wouldn't mess with another guys car in any way that was close to permanent or dangerous.

However, if someone pisses me off (which isn't easy) or pranks me good (also not easy), the odds are strong that there will be a rainbow sticker on their back bumper real soon. Simple, effective, and easily removed.

[Humbug53]

LateNight72, I've done the large ziptie on driveshaft trick. Works great, especially if victim has a quiet new car. If all goes well, the victim takes it back to the dealership and the mechanic finds it while on the hoist.

[Ishmael]

Put confetti in the vents then crank the ac, stereo and wipers so when he jumps in it all goes at once. The confetti will come out bits at a time months later to rub salt in the wound.

[ProdigyCustoms]

The rainbow bumper sticker reminded me. In the early 80s Thee Doll House (boobie bar) used to put a bumper sticker on every car in the parking lot unless you put your visor down. It was local legend and everyone including girlfriends and wives knew about it.

A friend of ours had a syco jealous girlfriend. They needed to break up for his sake. Needless to say we put a bumper sticker from Thee Doll House on a friends bumper.

I guess it has been long enough I could tell him who did it now.

[mpozzi]

Post an ad on Craigslist for his car with his phone number as a contact. Put some ridiculously low price on it with some phony reason why the car's for sale. Have fun with this ...

The best prank I ever did sort of involved just this. We were at a car show and my brother-in-law, Thom, decided to prank me by putting his business card in my car with the words "Love your car. Name your price" on the back. After looking at the card and thinking about this for a nanosecond, I decided to prank another member of our car club and put the business card in his car, a '69 Z28. I told Dave and a couple of other friends but kept mum to everyone else. We watched and waited ... and finally Pete, the owner of the Z28, looked inside and saw the card.

Unbeknownst to me, Pete took it quite seriously. Strutting around, waving the business card saying how he was going to make the guy sweat before he called him back, he was thinking this was his future meal ticket to some very cool automotive stuff. This went on all evening and I kept throwing strong hints that he should just call the number on the card as I wanted to really pull a fast one on my brother-in-law by having this perfect stranger call him out.

Pete never followed through that night and I also forgot about the card. Never even talked about it to Thom, either. I guess Pete finally called Thom and quickly realized he wasn't going to sell his Camaro for big coin nor was going to be able to buy the cars he'd already kinda verbally committed to after this "Sale of the Century" went down. I caught hell at the next club meeting and don't think Pete's ever forgiven me even after four whole years. Even with all that, I'd do it again in a heartbeat given half the chance.

It was pretty funny ...

my high school teacher would take bicycle inner tube and zip tie the tail pipe of peoples cars and it would sound like the car was farting

[CHRIS67]

I like the horn to the turn signals myself.

[AintQik]

I don't like hurting cars. I like them better then people.

However, when a guy ticked me off in highschool, I got in his car thru the hatch and chained his two door pulls together. Just ran a chain from one side to the other an laughed my butt off as he tried to open one door.... then the other.

[JEFFTATE]

Don't wire the horn to stay on with the headlights ...
You'll kill the horn relay.

[shep]

rewire the distributer cap on an old car. Not sure which wires we switched but it idled fine took the guy 100 yard run to get over the levee though. Would loose power under load was funny sounded good while he was revving it doing neutral drops to get over the levee.

[TonyHuntimer]

My friends were always pulling car pranks on one another...thankfully I didn't get my license until they stopped.

One of the best pranks was when they put a custom license plate frame on a friends truck that read, "I like it up the [rear]". You can guess that I didn't write the actual 3 letter word that was on the frame. It was on Frank's 4x4 Scout for a few days until he noticed. He did get a lot of interesting looks while driving around town. He couldn't figure out why so many people were looking at him when they drove by.
The frame was a lot less noticeable when walking around the car...compared to a bumper sticker.

Vasaline under the door handles and bubble wrap under the tires is pretty harmless. Getting about 5 ounces of stick-on wheel weights and sticking it to the inside of the wheel is fun. We got dastardly and one time we took it too far and a parent got wind. After that it stopped. Then we moved onto pranking other people like the pizza guy, the late-night gas station worker, random people while cruising, ex-girlfriends that cheated, etc. I'll just say that dummies, water balloon launchers (weapon of choice), toothpaste, banners, TP, potatoes, sanitary napkins, and more made growing up in a small town a lot of fun. We didn't do drugs or drink. We just had a lot of fun...and somehow we never got in trouble. Those were the days. I should record a podcast someday about some of the antics we pulled.

We use to do something similar. We would chain the back tires together. We always made sure the victim knew before we would drive off. But still leave the them stranded. This was before cell phones so it usually involved the victim walking a while. Got to the point we all carried bolt cutters every where we went.

[1968joel]

you cound move the car to a different parking spot or switch the way it was facing with a set of car dollys. it workes great and doesnt hurt anything

[Scott Parkhurst]

This guy pranked a neighbor he had an issue with. He put an ad on Craigslist saying there'd be a wild soccer mom orgy/gangbang going on, and anyone was welcome. He then posted his neighbors street address. Brutal!

Sure, charges were brought up and all that...but what a prank!

[shmoov69]

Wow, that would suck!!
Note to self........be nice to others!!! Lol

[instro84]

best one i was involved in was a captain we worked with ( shoulda know better to trust a bunch of GI's) left his car at the unit to be shipped to him when he transferred. we got to thinking what could we do for him to remember us by, and got the idea to paint pink flames all over his dark blue Toyota. it was delivered at o-darkthirty in the morning and flames didn't get noticed till next day when he was going to airport to pick up in-laws. he thought i was pretty funny wife didn't, only thing he said when he called back was shoulda used water based paint that would wash off. engineering chiped in on a maco paint job but it was worth it.

[Mathius]

All these smelly pranks can cause permanent odors. It goes beyond funny when it ruins something.

<shrug> A lot of times things start out as harmless pranks but when they go back and forth things escalate to stupidity. There's a guy I work(ed) with who walked off the job because someone drew something on his hardhat. He did it on a day when the boss (foreman) was away @ a funeral. He wouldn't pull that kind of crap walking off the job if the boss was around. Anyways... He tried to come back to work after a few days so he came in to talk to the boss... But one of HIS earlier pranks had gotten back to the boss already

He had done something EXTREMELY inappropriate to a female employee he thought was funny... well it got back to the boss, and when he decided he wanted to come back to work, they wouldn't allow him to. Now he has a lawyer going after the original guy who drew on his hardhat saying he was "sexually harassed" (has to do with what was drawn)and in turn going after the boss because he claims the boss let this sort of thing go on.

The guy doesn't have a leg to stand on because he can't prove who did what and the boss wasn't even there to do anything about it, but he's trying to get some out of court settlement because they won't let him get unemployment and he could potentially be charged with something over what he did to the female employee.

Point is, I don't find physical pranks to be a good idea. It just ends up getting out of control eventually and if the two of you aren't mature enough to say, "Hey, this needs to stop." then it tends to just get bigger and bigger every time until something bad happens.

A few years back there was alot of news about weird weather and climate changes, also in the news there was a space shuttle landing... my buddy ive know since we were 5 is extremely gullable, i told him the space shuttle had taken pictures of cracks in the moons surface and they found a piece the size of texas that was about to break off... i told him the scientists said this was the cause of the weird weather and they expect mass flooding very soon... he freaks and was like ive gotta call my mom!

i hung up laughing and thinking i wonder if his mom will buy it too
(my family is very close with his) well about an hour or so later i got 3 or 4 phone calls (his mom, my mom, his grandma) all upset and frantic trying to figure out what channel it was on... when i realized that i was about the 10th phone call from each (thats about 30 people now convinced its true) i had to call it and say it was a joke and it was only meant for my buddy... me and my buddy still crack up and think its a good one, but there are still some holding it against me lol

he says he'll get me back but i thinks its gunna be hard to top...

[rrunner68]

My buddy drove around his lifted truck with a sparkly "Princess" plate frame on it for nearly a month. And didn't figure it out until he tried to get into the wrong truck.

[CamaroAJ]

i removed all the bolts holding a co workers tool cart together, the type of cart it is has a lip for the trays to sit on and stay together with out the bolts in it (kinda lol) he came into work and put his coffee on it and it stayed together, unlocked his tool box and then went to move the cart. well the bottom of the cart didn't follow the rest of it and there was 4 legs on the ground, the top shelf of the cart and his coffee. by far the funniest thing i have ever seen.

Back when gas was cheaper we used to mess with a guy by first putting gas in his tank to make him think he was getting great gas mileage. Then after a cpl of weeks we'd start to siphon out some gas to make him think his mileage had gone to crap. Was pretty funny watching him trying to figure out what was going on.

Also the brakes to the horn is a really nice touch.

The "Princess" plate reminded me of a Captian I worked with in the Air Force. He was a computer guy and his personlaized plate said IBM GUY. So we made a new plate that said IBM GAY. Lasted almost a month. He wasn't amused.

[72nova]

I put my brother in laws car in the local classifieds about 2 weeks before x-mas, for about $4-5000 less than comparable cars. He got calls galore. By the time he called the classifieds it was already into the next weeks edition. He had 2 weeks of calls on that car. I also went around and put garage sale signs around his neighbor hood area, 7:00 a.m. and free doughnuts and coffee. That was a busy saturday morning. Easy pranks and no damage to anything.

[joe5.8]

Put bird seeds in his house gutters

when the birds start pecking at the gutter in the morning its very anoying especialy on a saturday morning when you can sleep late
