Pranks in the Playground

[averagejoe]

I'm not much of a prankster, so I thought I'd use the wonderous power of the internet to collect information. So, what I want to know is some good ways of messing with someone who keeps stealing your food.

Just for everyone's information, I'm not actually going to be pranking anybody, so no worries there. I just need to sound at least somewhat authentic, and I'd have no idea where to even start. So, I need some good ones, ranging anywhere from benign to mean. If you've had it done sucessfully, that's even better.

[Oregano]

Put lots and lots of pepper in/on your food, that way it'll be disgusting, it's not very sophisticated but it'll work, that is of course if you're not going to eat it.

[xPANCAKEx]

depends what kind of food is being stolen

obvious choice for lunches: Lace your sandwich/juice/snacks with hotsauce.

I've seen someone bake a tray of flapjack with scotch bonnet pepper seeds ground up into the mix just to **** with lunch thieves. It worked.

[averagejoe]

depends what kind of food is being stolen.

The food doesn't really matter. It could, in theory, be anything.

[Illiterate Scribe]

Well, feeding uncooked spaghetti into the top of a piece of elbow macaroni causes tiny bits of spaghetti to volley out of the other end at great speed. It's fairly undetectable, so potentially useful in a food-war.

[Hoggy]

Burn their house down.

[Szilard]

This works better with friends or relatives, but I like tricking people into thinking they owed me money, usually a dollar.

[Mauve Shirt]

Listerine pocket pack strips in your sandwich.

Or catch live spiders and put them in the food.

I replaced the water in our brita pitcher with vodka. For all the children in the playground, vodka is a perfectly clear alcohol.

I also froze our milk and then moved it ot the fridge. When it came time for breakfast, milk was unpourable.

[Jae]

When we went out to eat some old friends of mine would always either buy somebody a soda or wait till somebody went to the bathroom or something to put ketchup and mustard and salt and pepper in there and swoosh it all around and then see the expression of the person drinking it.

I never thought it was that funny but they always got a kick out of it.

[DraPrime]

Ahhhh, let me re-tell the story of what me and some friends did on April Fools day. Some of you might have already read this.

So there's this long hallway in my school that connects the school to the gymnasium. which is a separate building. The only other way into the gymnasium is through the roof. So on the night of April Fools day me and some friends drove down to the school with some bricks and mortar. We had some trouble getting into the hallway, because cops were expecting something, and they were patrolling the school. So once we got into the hallway, we got to work. We literally set up a brick wall completely blocking off the hallway. It wasn't very wide, but the point was that no one could get to the gymnasium. Now, we snuck back out with some difficulty, and drove away laughing. The next day the school had the janitors go at the thing with some sledgehammers, but chunks of it were still mortared to the wall. They're still there. Now the freaky thing was that the cops started to investigate, but fortunately they eventually just gave up and never actually caught us.

Now understand how difficult it was to get the supplies into the hallway. We needed enough bricks and mortar to set up a wall about 10 feet wide and 7 feet tall. We had to sneak this past cops. Anyway, a few students petitioned for a plaque to be put up where chunks of brick are still on the wall to celebrate this prank, but the school said NO.

That's a prank for next year then :smallwink:

One of my favourite pranks involves "methylene blue" die. Most biology labs would have it, for dying cells so they stand out under microscopes. Not only is the stuff hard to get of your hands, if you ingest it, it basically turns your urine blue. It's almost impossible to detect if you pour some in a bottle of cola, until someone drinks it (its apparently bitter). I wouldn't recommend you do it, the adverse reactions could be painful.

That is amazing.

I salute you, oh master pranker.

[Iudex Fatarum]

I had heard that 'methylene blue' was undigestible so it couldn't be broken down. Making it completely harmless. So do your research if you want to do it.
Another one I've heard that you may want to stay away from, syrup of ipecac. Purgative that has quite a bitter taste. If mixed with bear it is almost impossible to detect. and induces violent vomiting. (friend I heard this from did this to a buddy, the pranked person happened to throw up right into the pranker's suitcase full of clothes, poetic justice?)

[Supagoof]

Ground up laxatives work fairly well. Best is mixed into something to stop the dust from getting out.

And the brickwall thing. Wow! That is just...wow. High marks for you Dragonprime. The best someone ever did at my school was take a lawnmower at night and go mow the grass on the football field down to the dirt, spelling out the class year. An awesome attribute to the graduating class that year.

A chem teacher at the school almost baked this into brownies to give to the class, but decided against it because of possible administrative reprocussions (and he wasn't completely sure it was safe).

I may have to get some and try it, here (http://http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/m4381.htm)says it's not really that fun to injest, but I'm sure in a small enough dose, and offset with enough sugar, it shouldn't be too bad.

My class almost switched our "student lounge" with the football field. Like sod the lounge, and put all the couches, chairs, tables on the football field. They thought there might be a little too much trouble when the sprinklers ruined our couches tho, so they just planted a garden in the lounge. Our school is always creating "memorial gardens" and other such crap for graduating classes. So we planted our own. Then a lot of people parked their cars on the track, and someone took down the American flag and put up a Jolly Roger. I guess our senior prank was ok. I've heard of better, tho.

[d'Bwobsling]

I've never actually done this, but you should try to get three sheep into a building, with the numbers on their back 1, 2, and 4. It'll get everyone in the building looking for the nonexisten sheep #3:smalltongue:

Everyone knows that one already.

Past: We once had dial-up, and I wanted broadband. Dad didn't want to change. The family computer was in one room, the modem cable going out into the hallway and into the wall. As such, I was able to unplug the Internet, plug it back in again, walk in on him complaining about how bad the Internet was playing up... and mention "Disconnected again? This wouldn't happen with broadband..."

Present: I set up a prank on a co-worker today. Long story short, I've effectively covered her desk with paperwork. She'll get back from a two-week holiday sometime next week, take one look at the massive pile of work and want to hurt me.

Future: I want to play this prank on some people... Take one bottle of this stuff (http://cgi.ebay.com/Blairs-16-Million-Reserve-50-n-CaJohns-Daves_W0QQitemZ190232491764QQihZ009QQcategoryZ1431 3QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), empty their normal sauce bottle and replace the contents with the deathjuice. Then watch.

[evisiron]

Everyone knows that one already.

I didn't. :smallfrown:

As for food pranks, why not replace real food with realistic looking plastic food. For added effect try adding something nasty to the outside too.

[Revanmal]

An acquaintance pulled a prank using a golf cart and some various pieces of cardboard, some brooms, and lots o paint. He spent about 45 minutes driving around the lower floor of the school in a golf cart decorated like a dragon, with orange and red streamers blown by a fan in its mouth to simulate fire and movable arms. Also he blasted the "TROGDOR!!!!" song at full blast.

[Leper_Kahn]

There's a good trick involving an egg in a person's mouth and hitting their jaw.

Here is the YouTube Video Showing It (http://youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU)

What do you know... I like Rick Astley's songs...

Ok, you can just stop the plane lieing now.

[Vella_Malachite]

I haven't done this, but I do have a good trick.

Sugar and salt. They taste terrible when you put them together. Absolutely terrible, like vomitworthy terrible. Put both in liberal quantities on your food and wait for someone to try to steal it.

On an unrelated note, I have a friend who is quite *uncomfortable* around people whose ... tastes in gender tend to go otherwise from the social 'norm'. She went on holiday to America, and when she got back I convinced her that I'd found I was queer in her absence. It was a terrible thing to do, I know, but I will never forget the look on her face for decades. She hated me for the rest of the week :smalltongue:.

[RavenGirl]

You could give the person some change and then leave a website open regarding "asspennies"/let them think this some other subtle way. Just google it to find out more :smalleek:

Less gross, you could sew the arms and legs of their clothes together, or fill their pillow with ice cubes (prolly in a bag to prevent mess).

[Phase]

Horse's head in their bed? Nah, been done. Oh! Dress up like Batman and run around at night in the streets! Awesome!

[expirement10K14]

If you've seen the movie Waiting you can just do what the chefs did, but I will not talk of that here.

Try laxatives ground up into drinks, or, depending on what kind they are, say the laxatives are chocolate.

One I have seen done in my high school- there is a certain pill that prevents men from, ah, getting pleasure, if your getting me. Someone cooked this pill, ground up, into a batch of brownies and handed them out to his friends. I am lucky enough to have avoided this by not being in school, but it was an EPIC prank.

[BizzaroStormy]

A little something I like to call, hellday.

1. Wake them up by pouring a bag of ice onto them.
2. Mix laxative into their food/drink for breakfast.
3. Take all the toilet paper out of the house. (keep a roll hidden for yourself)
4. Get a can of joke chips (the one with the spring) and put the projectile into a Pringles can, offer it to them.
5. Whenever they're eating something, fart on it.
6. Change their computer background to a pornographic image (preferably something they wouldn't like)
7. Put a set mousetrap into something they stick their hand into frequently.
8. Before they go to sleep, soak the bottom of their pillow in rubbing alcohol.

I think this would be quite effective.

Even better, put Viagra into the brownies. Boners for everyone.

The senior prank for my high school (my junior year) was to remove every sign from every door distinguishing one from another, or one hallway from another. They did this on the first day of school. This wouldn't be too bad, but my high school was rather large, and shaped like a double-ringed octagon, with pods sprouting off of it. This was lovely sixties architecture, which means that there are no windows and every hallway and door looks almost exactly the same. The freshemen that year were lost and confused - some of them taking upwards of half an hour to find each class.

I know a few from college, too.

We have a long and honorable tradition of both campus-wide pranks and more localized ones.

Our campus features a large clock tower. Every now and then (or so I hear) in the past, students would lead a cow up to the top of the tower. Interesting note - cows will climb stairs up, but not down. It's a huge pain in the rear to get the cow out.

A long, long time ago, right before the football game between the college and a rival (when railroad travel was the most economical way of getting from the rival college to ours), a group of various people went and greased, oiled, soaped, and otherwise lubricated the rails at and around the station. The train arrived late that night - and just kept going. The passengers had to walk for miles with thier luggage to get to the station.

In the time I've been at college, there have been a few dorm pranks.

Most recently, one guy had his door boarded up. This wasn't done with nails, but copious amounts of duct tape and such still made a pretty sturdy barrier. They weren't completely trapped, but it was still funny.

One dorm room was filled (really, truly filled) with wadded up newspaper.

One guy actually had a sack of flour dumped on him in the shower.

One girl had her undergarments (all of them) stolen and frozen shortly before she had to go out, so that she had to put it all on when it was extremely cold and kinda wet. It was a girl who came up with the idea, too. Hell truly hath no fury...

Back to high school...

Each year, the graduating class tries to come up with something to do at graduation that would be funny while still being legal. The year before mine, it was to give the principle a marble when he shook your hand. Now, there are about 400 people in each graduating class - at some point the principle has to refuse marbles and look like a jerk, while fumbling with all the marbles he already has - it's not like he has anywhere to put them.

Ah, good times.

...I want to do some of these now!:smalltongue:

I've never really been much of a prankster, but I think it's time for a really good one. Can anyone help me think of a good prank for school?

I've been too Lawful for too long...:smalltongue:

Excrement in the A/C system. Or in the microwave, I believe.

Edit: Put it in the microwave in a bag and set it for ten minutes or something, then go somewhere while you wait for it to explode.

Edit 2: Or you could put it in the cisterns in the toilet (Not in a bag).

[Emperor Ing]

here are some (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB3hu6xNf-g) good (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2syxXPR7xY) pranks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miN9UtnK3Ug) I recommend (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi1-hVQZE_Y) you (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTO8HkbyUP4&feature=related) should (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NijwK99OO04) Check (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qhucVsq9CE) out.

edit: here's a bonus. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0XdthbOkMU&feature=related)

[Phase]

Some of the above are funny, some are just plain mean.

[The Orange Zergling]

Put an empty folder labeled "Porn" (or if you really wanna go at it, put several folders up named things pertaining to generally-looked-down-upon fetishes) on the prank-ee's desktop. Take a screenshot of the desktop, then set it as the background. The person now has an un-deletable folder labeled "Porn" (or whatever) on their desktop until they figure out it's part of the background. Works best for offices.

Unfortunately that's the only good prank I know.

[Moff Chumley]

I'm a big fan of locking bathroom doors from the inside and then doing stuff to the locks. There's all sorts of ways to make wierd stuff happen to someone's guitar, and doing stuff to your teachers computer is always funny. For instance, pop up when they log in: "I see your password is [such and such]. May we recomend replacing it with "Sporks"?

[Jade_Tarem]

While we're on computers and pranks, just set someone's web-browser homepage to this site. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0) A friend of mine did this to my roommate - it was pretty funny.

[Sewer_Bandito]

That's the third time this week. Man :smallfrown:

[Illiterate Scribe]

Everyone knows that one already.

Of course, the evident solution in that case is to genuinely include a sheep marked #3. Everyone will think 'oh, they're just pulling that tired old prank again' and then not think to look for it.

Adding to this a bit.

If they use Windows XP, there's a not-really-used feature called Active Desktop.

Right click, properties, desktop, Web, I think. Fairly easy to find. Haven't used XP in a while though..

Basically, it'll let you put ANY website they can connect to - or any picture, or anything really, if you know your way around HTML - on their desktop. Seeing as active desktop is rarely used, nobody seems to know how to get rid of it; just put one of... ah... "those" sites on. You know the ones I'm on about. Bottle_ _ _. Lemon_ _ _ _ _. Click "lock desktop items" as well for added fun.

They hopefully won't be able to get the horribly scarring image off their desktop, watch the indecisiveness as they ask for help ;)

[Illiterate Scribe]

Lorn - would it play, say, sound, as well? Because in that case, L*** M****** might be a plan.

[Purple Cloak]

Hmm, I'm going to have to try some of these pranks, its been far too long since I last had some decent amusment.

[Silence]

Ok, here's one.

Go to the story. Buy catfish bait. Looks like s***. Smells like s***. Comes out of a squeeze tube. While someone is sleeping, squirt a little up each nostril. Watch the hilarity.

[Purple Cloak]

The best pranks in my opinion are ones that don't realy have that much malice, giving people laxatives, or somthing smelling like such a foul substance is kind of mean, even if its a bit of fun.

[Silence]

I think a little malice is needed for the funny.

[†Seer†]

One we'd pull on the dishwashers is to take a glass, fill it with ice, set it in a small amount of water and then douse the ice in salt, let it sit for awhile. (Also, don't get salt in the water) It'll cause a chemical reaction, making the cup freeze to the tray, and is semi-annoying to get off. Unless there's 12 on a tray in a smiley face. Then you hear death threats O.o

Also a good one for a friend on christmas: Wrap up Everything in his room. We even wrapped his bed and closet ^^ He came back from break and was speechless. Opened presents for a week. (Nothing is too small! Penicl lead was wrapped.)
