Need Help Pranking Friend

[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.

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...

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.

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.

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.
