Thought it would be good to have a thread where we post up our recent (or older) practical jokes on others.

The other day i went into town with a mate, and I saw mum's car parked at the shopping centre. I still had my key in my pocket, so I moved it down a few spots. Mum got lucky and spotted it as she was walking out - but my sister was freaking out about 'the cars been stolen' and 'are you gunna call the cops?'

Also I put a zippie tie around a workmates driveshaft. he came in the next day fuming about the noise his car had developed!:smileyvault-cute-bi

anyway - that's my pranks for the day.

Cheers!

My dad owned a GQ and my mate that lived next door 2 my parents also owned a GQ, 2 different models but neither the less they were both white.

One day I was around at my parents place and decided 2 see if my GQ key started his GQ, I knew it unlocked his but never tried 2 start it. What would you know, is started, So i drove it into my parents driveway and locked it back up.

Got a phone call later that night from my mate, calling me every name under the sun. He wasn't far of calling the police when he realised where it was *LMAO*

I make stickers at work and it never gets old to put one on the back of a workmates car. lol. Theres a real quiet nerdy guy that works there and on the back of his ute i put "pvssy hunter" real big in pink haha took him a few days to see it. Also the same guy rides a roadbike sometimes. He has one of those real poofy looking helmets that the front folds up on (like a posty). So what i did was slide the front down and put a sticker on it then slide it back up so you couldnt see it. It worked a treat! He put his helmet on, clipped the front down, then jumped on his bike and roade home with "cock jockey" written on his forehead!!! hahahahahaha.
The list goes on and it never gets boring.
Things like "love the c@ck" in big pink letters on the front of an apprentices car hahaha

Did the cable tie around the drive shaft to a teacher on yr 12 muck up day. My mate's dad was the town mechanic and that car came to him a few days later.
We also covered all the toilets in glad wrap, heard a few "ohhh YUCK"s then.
I managed to catch a mouse in a jug of water, we put that in the staff room freezer overnight, female teacher opened it the next morning, it was awesome.
One guy hacked into the school's PA system through the wifi, and locked them out of it. He played some brutal death metal at full volume for about half an hour before they though to pull the plug on the system.
Some guys a few years above me put dog sh*t under a teacher's car door handle. Pretty gross and maybe a bit too far, but that teacher was a real jerk.

We were working on a mates car who was leaving so we wired up a reverse buzzer in the cab to his blower fan, being winter we didn't think that he would use it for a while but as it turned out he only got five minutes down the road before he put his climate control on, I honestley couldn't hear him speak over the buzzer when he rang up saying "What the F%^k did you do to my car". We also put 100grams of wheel wieghts on one of his rims, we believe its still there to this day, He also has an old opened ice coffee stashed in his drawers somewhere too

Beware practical jokes at work or on work mates.

What was thought to be a harmless prank can end up wasting a lot of everybodies' time - the joker, the jokee, and the poor bugger who employs/manages/supervises them. Here endeth the lecture :-)

How dull must office life be, that a couple of pencils, a rubber band, and an old fashioned paper file can create fun. join the pencils or pens with the rubber band. Twist and twist until the band is under a fair bit of tension - may pay to double the rubber band. Ease the tensioned rattler into a largeish paper file, waiting for the next unsuspecting person to open it up.

A modern version - turn every aspect of the screen colours to the one colour - usually black.

Then there are the telephone messages - please call Sue Ridge from the Water Board re a leak on your block, please call Theresa Green from National Parks re a complaint about use of your vehicle, then there was one that was done to me - a sex worker's number obtained from the paper. She was onto it before I was, and asked if I was sure it wasn't a joke being played on me. In a way we were lucky she did not complain but took it in good humor.

My step father was ex Royal Navy. The usual stuff - long weights, striped paint etc. One of his shipmates was ordered to get a bucket of steam. Sailor returned with a bucket part full of water and said 'Boil the b@stard yourself!!'.

While butchering the snag compressor died so we sent the labrourer next door to the servo with a open bucket to get $1 worth of free air to finish filling the casings.

For firies (kg dry chem ex with rubber bands wound around the handle some wire to the pin and to your x mates locker door .Be sure to race tape the ex to the back wall of the locker with plenty of tape and stand back and watch the mess when he opens the door.

Signs tucked up under the rear bumper that fall down after a couple of k's,sign usually start with flash lights or honk if xxxxxxxxxxxx

Deflate your mates brand new trye and watch him change it

Pallet wrapped my sales managers Ute, another occasion I superglued the volume button had a wiggles cd in, super glued the eject button too, if I realsied that he could just press the radio button, he would have had that glued too. Tied a reasonable sized nut with fishing line between the cab and the tray, every corner was a bit of a clang.

on the flip side, my car was forked onto the top floor of our office, put on bricks with all of the tyre let down. front door key filled with superglue (the key not the lock). Pepper corns all through the foot of the bed. Been floured whilst in the shower. One interstate sales trip, rolling drunk, fell asleep (sure sure) and covered in duct tape from shoulders down... didnt have much hair left after removing it all.

easy one, more than a few $$$ out put, Visually spectacular. Is still on my To Do List

Water bombs filled with Helium... Lots of them. Cool them down in a liquid nitrogen bath? this shrinks them back down to their original un-inflated size, store in an esky with more dry ice. Move to friends unsuspecting vehicle. Pour in all the deflated balloons, as they thaw, they fill back up to their inflated size and completely fills car. Friend sees... laughs... opens doors and all the balloons fly away.

The best tool for that is a small set of nail scissors. You can stick them through the gap to cut the cable ties without damaging the swag.

Years ago, on Funniest Home Video two or three blokes hoiked a fair si2ed goanna into a fairly small dome tent and dropped the 2ipper again.

The tent was pretty active for a while :-)

And yes, I know it was probably a bit of a shock for the goanna, and they can sink the claws or bite, but still.............

Years ago, I was on a scout camp in Tassie down near the Huon river, 1 of the sprouts was a bit of a pain in the date so we waited until he was asleep (heavy sleeper), unpegged his dome and moved down on the river bank and re-pegged it in, turned his fly around so the zip was off-set from the door, stood back and proceeding to laugh our rears off watching him trying to get out

Have done that with a wombat. Small dome tent and a big scared wombat lol. Then another guy backed his bike up to the tent so when the poor sucker unzipped it to let the wombat out, the guy on the bike roosted him until the tent collapsed under the weight if the dirt! Haha

vasaline or petroleum jelly on windscreen wiper blades on a rainy day. toothpaste under the door handles. an empty glass jar with a couple of small rocks in it laying on the back passenger floor. removing the valve stems from all 5 tyres. if the car is black get some dirty old black grease and run it along the sill at the bottom of the door. as the driver gets in or out ends up with a nice black smudge on his pants or leg. tooth picks broken off inside a trailer plug (7 pin type). race tape a crushed aluminium can to the inside of a tyre, when it finally comes off it makes a racket.

Found a dead womabt on the side of the road, draged it back to camp.

Set it in front of a tent, dark glasses & put a cigerate in its mouth. Started some very loud music behind the tent - was very funny when the ocupant pocked his head out of the tent and saw the wombat.

Short sheeted beds in motels

Cable tied jacket sleaves

Moved the seat of a car all the way forwood.

Jacked a car up and had it sitting on bricks - funny when the owner went to drive it.

Scout camp, many many years ago,

On the last day we were instructed to pack up the left over provisions, found a huge tin of golden circle pineapple pieces, buried it in the dying embers of the camp fire, went out for parade.

You can guess what happens next, very very loud bang and a sheetload of nylon tents ruined from very hot pineapple pieces.

Needless to say expunged from the scouts, dib dib dob dob.

Get a mild steel bolt, cut it so the nut can be welded into place, with enough thread inside the nut left to screw the rest of the bolt into it. Do it up real tight on your mates toolbox or locker and watch them go get a hacksaw or grinder.

A mate & his missus were sleeping in late in their two person tent after a big night at a motorcycle rally. Very quietly we undid the tent zip, put in several chooks, zipped up & then gave the tent sides a good few slaps before standing back to watch the fun whilst p*ssing ourselves. :)

Another occasion at a different rally & different mate. A bit of payback to a mate who had found it amusing to let down my tent & drag it around whilst I was asleep inside got his just deserts the next morning. He was fast asleep in his swag, with a tarp over the top. Backed up the motorcycle so the exhaust was just poking under the tarp close to his head. Fired her up & gave it the berries. Fastest he'd ever woken & extricated himself from his swag I reckon. :)

Sorry Winnie, not computer savvy enough to draw a picture and upload it. If that trick dont work, just paint their safety boots, helmet gloves, goggles a nice shade of pink or yellow. The funniest ever done to me, was when I stuffed up installing an oil cooler seal, the next day, an old oil cooler was bolted to the front of my locker.

Not sure if it still works But if you get a length of wire and put it across railway lines (within certain distances) from crossings it makes the bells and lights work We started stopping cars wait for a minute or two then take the wire off as they started to move put it back on etc etc.
But the best one was we rigged my trailbike with a spotlight high on a stick started the lights stopped a few cars then I rode down the track across the crossing ( i could hear all the car horns lol
of coarse that was when I was a kid

On a similar note.....

A mate put some dye in a guys glove, pretty simple prank but the guy went absolutely off his head! He was ranting and raving on about having to go to a dinner date with "this bloody dye all over my effen hand!"....... He saw everyone was laughing at him and it made him angrier and angrier...... He stormed off to scrub his hand as good as possible only to return to more laughing! Little did he know they were all laughing at the pink dye across his forehead from where they had dyed his welding helmet too hahaha, I think he cancelled his dinner date
