Good Safe Pranks You Have Done or Seen

A friend of mine whom I had insisted help himself to my handle of Jack Daniels made himself a good double in a pint glass one night.

He felt a little tipsy and proclaimed "I'm all done".
He made his way to the kitchen sink and poured his young drink of only a few sips down the drain.
Fine, he was wasted blah blah but he never even offered it to anyone to finish.

So a few months later I knew he was coming and I filled up an empty handle bottle with water and matched the whiskey color with instant coffee.
As we were hanging out in the kitchen talking a casually picked up the bottle and started poring little bits at a time in the sink.
Then when he was like
"What are you doing?" I said
"I get so tired of drinking whiskey" and poured the whole thing down the drain singing the guitar riff from Iron Man.

He ran out of the room and told everyone I had lost my mind, he didn't even know it was a joke for about an hour afterwards.

 

My father and sister were playing catch in the kitchen with a fresh egg. I turned off the light in mid flight.

 

At work we used to have this really small chick that was the cashier. When we would get a new employee, we would have the cashier crouch down in a trash sack and tie it loosely around her. When we would see the new employee, we'd tell him the boss wanted him to take that trash bag to the dumpster. Then, they would obviously grab it and have some trouble and then she would scream and everyone would freak out.

At another job we had an intercom system. #55 was the number to press to speak over the intercom. A few employees would have a chordless phone, so we would tell the new employees that if they had any questions just press #55 on one of the phones and it would ring a chordless. My first day it took me so long to figure out I was speaking over the intercom.

 

When my nephew was still a toddler, he really really REALLY liked drinking Coke. To the point where if he saw an open Coke can he would drink from it unless we stopped him. We went to see a movie once and he saw a plastic cup of Coke that someone had left on the armrest of one the seats and he got that and drank from it!

But what he really liked to do was hide under the dining table. If someone left their can on the table, he'd reach up, lightly push the can to check if there was still anything left, then quickly snatch it and drink under the table.

So what his older cousin did was to get a Coke can, empty its contents, then replace it with beer. Then she pretended to drink while my nephew watched from under the table. Then she set it on the table and pretended to leave. Sure enough, my nephew got the can and drank from it - let's just say that that was the last time he stole Coke from any of us.

 

When my mom worked at burger king they all left there keys hanging on hooks in the office when they got to work. One april fools day someone stole her keys and moved it behind the food lion store where it wasn't visible from the restaraunt, then ran inside pretending to be freaked out and saying she saw someone take the car.

Another prank they used to pull was taking the little packets of katsup and taping them to peoples tires. When you start to drive it sounds like someone is shooting at you, and this was in a bad neighborhood, so people would freak out and duck down.

 

In our family, cold water over the top of the shower rod always gets a loud scream and a couple a' cuss words. Ice water's the best. ----An M80 or regular firecracker with a few extra fuses attached would make all the study hall dorks levitate after I had signed out. They ,of course knew it was me. So it goes.Or went.

 

Used to work at a home improvement center back when they were called hardware stores. Anyway we epoxied a 50 cent piece to the floor. Provided months of giggles watching people try to pick it up.

I have a bunch;

At one job in the printing department of Sav-On drugs main office my boss was a 10 year old in a 45 year old body. We used to get all the supplies for new store openings and such. He always ordered an extra tank of helium to "play" with.
One day he filled a hefty trash bag with helium, tied it off and took it outside and let it fly. We watched until it was a little speck.
a few minutes later the Vice President of the west region came in and asked my boss if he knew anything about flying trash bags. Apparently he was in a meeting with all the west coast high muckity-mucks when a trash bag flew past his third floor window.

Same week we filled the door to the darkroom, (a cylindrical tube in a tube type door to prevent light from entering) with balloons filled with helium. At lunch, Roger, who worked in the darkroom came out.
We heard the door turning, then about a minute of silence, then the squeeking sounds a rubbed balloon makes multiplied by a thousand, door turns and out pops Roger in an explosion of balloons.

Same guy taped a Huslter centerfold to the passenger side of his friends van. His friend couldn't understand why he was getting honks from other drivers, some giving him a thumbs up, others looking at him with derision, until the highway patrol pulled him over.

 

The best for me was when I had started a new job as an offset press operator.
The guy training me thought he was clever and sly. One day he bets me that he can lick a glob of ink with no ill effects. I play along, even though I know it's no great feat. (printing ink repells water, that is the basis of offset printing)
So he takes an ink knife loaded with black ink and gingerly licks it. I act all astonished and exclaim "No way! You didn't touch it to your tongue. I want to see it again!"
Well he pushs his chest out with pride and raises the ink to his tongue again and just as he touches it I slapped his hand nd he got a mouth and face full of ink. Half the guys in the shop almost pissed themselves laughing. That guys teeth were black for a day.

(it was soy based ink, so not toxic)

 

At camp, (not band camp) everyone was supposed to write their names on their clothing.
Regardless lost and found would have probably 50 things by the end of week one.
After meals counselors would hold up garments and beach towels and often kids wpoldn't even go up because they would be embarrassed.

Anyway I got this idea and took a pair of my underwear and rubbed them in the dirt on the ass part. I then wrote this kid from my cabins name on them, it was with a pink highlighter or something so it was obvious it wasn't real.

Luckily at the for that lost and found the counselor who found them had the sense of humor to hold them up and say "so and so (his name), come up and get your underwear" in front of the whole camp.

 

One night when I was still in high school, my friends and I were walking on the sidewalk. All of a sudden my friend shouted "GRENADE!" and this lady who was about to exit the store in front of us just grabbed her child and ran back inside.

 

I like to yell "watch out" when Im in a friends car and we are backing out of a parking spot when Im not the driver

 

One time my wife (who was then my fiancee) and I went to Disneyland in Tokyo. We went inside the haunted mansion. We entered the first room, which quickly filled up with people. Then when all the doors were shut, the scary music started to play and a voice started saying things in Japanese that were presumably scary (since I couldn't understand a word it said) and the paintings on the wall started to morph.

Now, I had been inside this same haunted mansion before so I already knew what to expect. I knew the lights were going to go out. Sure enough, they did. That's when I decided to scare my fiancee by suddenly yelling out, "AAAAAHH!"

It worked, but not on her - the three schoolgirls in front of us all screamed in unison. My fiancee just elbowed me and called me "Baka!" then apologized to them in Japanese.

 

Hahaha I'd think it would be creepier in Japanese... Ever here of the grudge?!?!

But reminds me of the time me, my boy friend and my two best friends were in one of the haunted houses. You get into a car and just ride through. My boyfriend and I were together, and my two friends were right in front of us. Well the lights went out and he started freaking out a little (big baby... lol) and a skeleton popped up at the car, I took the oppurtunity to jump into my friends car. He thought something had gotten me I guess, he screamed bloody murder when he reached for my hand.

 

Fold two ketchup packets in half and put them under the bumps of the toilet seat that are in front. When someone sits down, they'll explode. Priceless.

 

I like to look at someones pants leg or shirt back with a horrified look, back up, point and go " shit --what the hell's that !!!". They usually dance around with their arms up and go "WHAT IS IT --WHAT IS IT??? Works every time.---------another one is pretty cool to do. Whenever someone walks up and joins your group --the first time they say anything--you turn to someone that was already there and go "see what I mean?" Or just "see?". Screws 'em up trying to think of all the possible implications of what you said until you start laughing.

 

I hid in the closet adjacent to the bathroom door and jumped out when my sister emerged- she screamed bloody murder. heh.

 

one day at work a good co-worker wouldn't quit screwing with me, so while he wasent looking a walked over to my tool box and grabed about a hand full of assorted nuts and bolts, went out to his car, poped off his hub cap and tossed them in there and put his hub cap back on, after a week of trying to figure out what the rattling noise was, i came in to work one day to find a receipt for $850 for a transmission rebuild and the hand full of hardware sitting on my toolbox.

 

I used to work for a small company that made natural food coloring and flavors. Most of the ingredients we used were all natural, but we also had a few that used artificial colors. Enter Blue #1 in powdered crystal form. If any of you have had the misfortune to work with this stuff you know what a pain it is. It is a very light and fine crystal that looks purple, almost black. Just opening the container would cause this shit to become airborn.
So the vice-president of the company was an old asshole who had worked in the industry for ever. He was actually the one who developed the Green Apple flavor for Jolly Rancher candies, along with a few others for them.
Anyway, he had a little lab next to the main lab and the production warehouse. He completely pissed me off one week. So I had to weigh out some blue #1 and I used the scales in his office to weigh it. The container was about 2 kilos and about the size of a coffee can. I gently picked it up about a foot off the counter and let it drop and got out of there as the cloud of blue #1 drifted throughout his lab. After it all settled I closed it up and put it away. Now this stuff will look like nothing more than a fine dust, until you get it wet. Then it becomes this neverending torrent of BLUE.

We were sitting out in the warehouse, my co-worker and I, when we heard a "Goddamn IT!" come from the little lab. Then a "WHAT IN THE HELL!!!!"
He comes out with an arm load of rags colored bright blue and asked if we had any idea what happened.
"No, not at all."
He was cleaning up blue for two weeks.

I was going to fill a gelcap with it and put it in the shower head for one of my kids, but since it takes 3-4 days for the blue to wear off, I decided not too.
