Practical Jokes

[trailrated]

Anyone have any good stories?

These happened back in college...

1) I get back to my place at about 2:30 in the morning and my roomates A and B are laughing next to a pile of stuff on the couch holding a pot and a lighter.. They point out that under this pile of stuff is roomate D. He came home shitfaced and face planted on the  couch so they started grabbing random stuff around the house and piling it on top of him. Things escalated when they grabbed the duct tape and made a net with it duct taping him to the couch. Then they grabbed some fireworks, threw them in a pot and lit them next to him on the couch. Roomate D freaked out with fireworks exploding next to him and was trying to get away but couldn't cause he was stuck. It took him about 5 minutes of a drunken frantic rage to free himself while we were all standing there laughing.

2) Roomate D thought I was the ringleader of the first story so he set out for revenge. One night I got back from a party and was slightly intoxicated. I walk up the stairs to my room and did not bother to turn the light on. I turned left where the ladder to my loft was (it was up about 10 feet in the air and my bed was up there). I put my hand out to grab a rung on the latter and and set myself in motion to climb up and fell directly onto our coffee table. He went in with a power drill and took every rung off my ladder. I was drunk and confused and turned the light on to realize there was a note there with a scavenger hunt to find the missing screws and screwdriver if I wanted to sleep in my bed that night.

Needless to say I slept on the couch that night.

This is why I live alone...

I was that guy in college.

Started a 'war' against my neighbors in the dorm.  Learned to pick locks to get into their room whenever I wanted.

-Filled room with popcorn
-Filled room with newspapers
-'flipped' layout of the room including the keyboards
-covered doors of the entire dorm floor in ducktape
-replaced pillows with water balloons (and some needles to pop them when touched)

Things they did back (to me and/or roommate)
-wrapped us in plastic wrap
-switched the harddrives on our computers
-baked us a giant bread "male part"
-mailed us a gallon of milk, took 2 weeks to get to us.
-glitter bombs
-completely changed our door lock

Next year, I move into a 20-guy frat house and started another war against everyone (although people didn't know who the mastermind was). A lot of this was with help from other guys, but it was usually my idea.
-regularly signed people up for tampon samples and diapers (Again, all guys)
-sent people x-small condoms, just cuz
-magazine subscriptions to teen weekly and other such wonderful publications
-Got a group of 10 guys to build a brick wall in the middle of someone's room
-switching shower gel for bbq sauce/ketchup/mustard
-installed a walkie talkie in the AC vent in someone's room, gave him 'ideas' for 3-4 days before he almost went crazy
-completely moved a guy from his room to the basketball court while he was using the bathroom (everything was tossed out his window and setup outside)


After that, I lived by myself for my own safety.  No one knew it was me in the frat house until the day before I graduated when a group of us got together and someone brought a box of all the diapers, tampons, magazines, etc he was sent over the years and I just burst out laughing.  I heard it's now a tradition for whoever get's my old room in the house to be sent tons of random stupid crap (something I still do when I'm bored).  So it's one of the nicer rooms, but you have to deal with all the mail crap.

Thread closed, clearly already won. Awesome.

Cripzyckiken, that is awesome. Remind me not to ever let you near my house.

I did some very minor stuff in college. Best was to a friend of mine that is obsessed with Stargate SG-1 and spinoffs. SG-1 is 10 seasons long. She had all the dvds, in order, and regularly watched through the entire series (still does in fact - I live with her now). As a prank I mixed up the order of the dvd cases, and also switched dvds in the cases. It took her hours to fix and she has never let me live it down. Pretty tame, but she's got very low tolerance.

She stole my bathrobe and towel while I was in the shower, then took a picture of me wearing the shower curtain. Said picture ended up all over the dorm.
