While 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times' wasn't written about co-living with a flatmate, we think the phrase captures the essence of living with one just perfectly.
Living with a roommate certainly has its benefits. You'll never feel lonely (even if you want to), you'll always have somebody to talk to (even if they don't want to), and you get to share the chores (even though there are usually at least twice as many of them). But as you can see from this hilarious list of roommate pranks compiled by Bored Panda, cohousing can also have its downside. From such insidiously funny pranks as clowns in the toilet and sharks in the bath to tinfoil wrapped beds and gift-wrapped bedrooms, the best pranks you can find below will remind you that living with people can result in some of the best - or the worst - years of your life. Don't forget to vote for these funny stories!

When i returned from a home visit once i took my mannequin "Bruce" with me. He is huge and black (no offence). I placed him right behind the entrance door and when my housemate returned in the middle of the night it scared the s**t out of him. I woke up from him screaming like a lunatic. For a second i felt really bad but then we laughed both so hard. Good times...

If some of these clowns put half as much effort into doing something constructive as they do into pranking their roomies, they'd be millionaires.
