Practical Jokes - have you ever?

20 Apr 2007

Sorry - this has just popped into my head in the Millionaire thread...but would detract too much so I've put it in here....
I know there's one or two jokers around here, so what is the best (or worst) practical joke you've ever played on someone?
as a kid, I'd be about 10, I remember bandaging my younger sister as if she'd had a serious accident, with head injury, and for added ooomph factor, slapped on a bit of tomato sauce, laid her on the sofa and waited til me Dad got in from work.... :angel:
little did I know that that particular day, he was shattered, came in absolutely knackered and full-on hit panic mode on seeing her :scared: - it took what seemed an eternity for him to click she wasnt really hurt...and I've never done anything like it since - scared me fookin stupid it did :lol2:
Today, a mate was telling me about someone she knows who has done the absolute ultimate in bad taste practical jokes...and i'm still :shock: at it!
not long after national lottery started up, the bloke of a couple we know gave his Mrs their previous week's lottery tickets to check on teletext/whatever and she does the dawning realisation thing that their numbers have come up and jumps round the house crying and screaming...calls her mom, screams a bit more, collapses crying in complete relief on the floor because their money worries are over, the kids futures are sorted...all the normal stuff that would run through your head if you thought you'd got a winning ticket in your hand...
and he left it 10 minutes before telling her it was just a fake ticket and all a joke ....
:shock:
they're still together btw :shock:, me, i've have shot the bastard :lol2: mad

so, can you top that? would you want to? and have you ever played a practical joke that's gone badly wrong? dunno

I went to the ideal home exhibition years ago and the following April Fools day I got my mate at work to ring my Mum and Dad and tell them I'd entered their details in a competition at the exhibition and ask would they be able to travel to receive their prize which was money and vouchers for soft furnishings. She went to check with my Dad and when she came back to the phone it was me. I felt really guilty, redface

but she thought it was great!! lol

ops: :oops: :oops:
:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: When I was a youngster, and new to the army; I fell for the age old wind up of being sent to the stores for a long weight (wait) and then again later, for a left hand screwdriver :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
Although - I soon learned that it had it's advantages.
First - if questioned by young Subalterns while I was bimbling around the tank park not doing very much in particular, I'd answer "Just off to SQMS for a long weight, Sir" . . . and/or . . . I quickly learned the art of always having a screwdriver/track pin/hammer/etc etc in my hand. That way - "Just fetched/taking back this screwdriver/track pin/hammer/etc etc, Sir"
But one of the funniest things I ever saw was a youngster moving a wing mirror arm back and to, while watching the tank track move in adjustment rolleyes

(The driver was doing the actual track tensioning, in full sight of said young Subaltern :roll: )

Not a practical joke as such, but if I can see that there's a problem brewing in the classroom, I'll send kids for stripy/tartan paint or a long stand - just to get them out of the way to defuse the situation! biggrin

We did that at my school when I was about 13 or so, and the head walked in with parents she was showing round the school, the bin fell on her head, then the rubbish spilled out of the bin all over the parents who were just behind the head!
We all got lines and detention for a week!!

My Mate who is a Glasgow Bus driver found a blind persons white stick on his bus one day.
He was going to hand it in when he finished but as he had another bus to drive before then he thot he would have a bit of fun.
So he waited on his bus arriving and when it did he was ready and waiting with his white stick unfolded and his dark sunglasses on.
He tapped his stick on the platform and
"staggered" into his drivers cabin, then leaned out of it and shouted to his passengers "give me a shout when to turn left or right and if there are any red traffic lights ahead and if there is anybody wanting off just shout".
Needless to say the passengers went into a severe state of panic and he got into serious trouble for it, but must have been funny seeing passengers fighting to get off a bus for a change lol

A friend of mine gave her cheating boyfriend a hand job using Deep Heat.
Maybe more for a revenge thread than a practical joke thread!!!

when I was younger I went on a school camping trip. In the field we camped was a toilet block of 3 toilets that all led to one pipe and then into a cesspit. one evening me and a mate blocked up the pipe into the pit so the waste had no where to go except back the way it came..............we helped the process along by putting a laxitive into the broth the teachers made for dinner............
didn't get invited next year lol

I used to work in the spare parts sales for a Fiat main dealer. Our assistant manager was a great practical joker, the best of which was the Xmas decorations for the retail counter. Some of these were tied to long pieces of fishing line which could be undone and the decoration moved up and down in full view of the customer, but not the poor sod trying to serve them. The perpetrater could view what was going on from behind the display. You would get looks of disbelief then nudges to the partner (if they came with one), perhaps the odd customer might make a comment. But, all good clean fun and no-one got hurt! Other tricks were parts boxes attatched to the bins with elastic, parts replaced with bricks so they weighed too much, or heavy things removed from boxes etc. etc.
We also sent an apprentice across the road for some empty boxes ........ the place he was sent to was the funeral directers ..............

Back in my school days we had a max pax drinks machine in the main block corridor. During class one of us would nip out for the loo and use a long pencil with a sharp nib to stick up the chute and pierce the bottom few cups. End result of this was normally some student runnig down the corridor with a leaking drink or getting a burnt finger whilst trying to plug the hole.
We also use to unscrew the pipe at the top of the high cisterns in the boys toilets and move it a few mm, not enough to notice. When another student went in for the no.2 we would pull the flush by reaching over from the next cubical. Result one drenched student one flooded toilet which got us into trouble more than once
Final school one biggrin

there was a place again in the main block where you could leave your bag duriong lunch hour. One girl whom we use to tease always had a plain white carrier bag not a school bag like everyone else always this plain white carrier. She never placed it directly with the other bags for some reason always hung on the arm of a swing door next to all the other bags. One day during lunch one of my friends made a find at the local park :shock: which we hid until the next day. Someone brought in a duplicate white carrier bag and we put our find :twisted: in it and replaced her bag. So I dunno where and when she opened it cus I never saw all I do know is she didnt find pens pencils or school books, what she did find was a frozen dead squirrel.
Was on holiday abroad in the early 90's and met with a bunch of Scotts guys. They had holidays with each other often and had a long history of wind ups between themselves most quite disgusting. On this holiday in revenge for a joke on the previous holiday they had all taken the toothbrush of one of thier party and inserted it into there bum and taken a picture of it on his camera. A nasty nasty surprise for when you get yer pics developed.
