"Hard boil their eggs and put them in back in the box secretly."

irsic replied:
"This actually happened to me once, but at a store. Was buying eggs from a local mart to bake a cake. Later, went to crack open the eggs only to find all the eggs had been hardboiled.

Returned to the store immediately, showed the cashiers and they both just looked at each others and exclaim, 'F*ckin' Mike.'"

"One of my favs from college. (house of 4 guys) three of us waited until the 4th fell asleep. About 15 mins later we bust open his door and run into his room shouting things like 'DUDE WAKE UP', 'OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING' 'QUICK (name) YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO'. All while we are handing him random objects such as a stapler, cheese, notebooks etc. We got him about 30 feet outside until he realized what he had in his hands and that we were laughing."

"I am way late to this party but I must share the greatest prank I have ever pulled. Bear with me as there is quite a bit of set up. A friend of mine, who was a visual arts student, and I took sheets of newspaper and glued them as a single piece over the door frame of a friends dorm room. We did this for three nights in a row on days we were sure she was asleep in the room. It's important to note that the door opened inwards. The reason we did this was to cause her to become comfortable with just ripping it down without thinking about it. Now the actual prank was done on the fourth night. We did exactly the same thing with newspaper completely covering her door, however this time there was a surprise on the other side. On the outside of the newspaper we glued a bed sheet to the door frame as well. We only attached it on three sides in the shape of a U. The glory of the prank is that we then poured about 50 liters of styrofoam packing peanuts in between the sheet and newspaper. When she woke up that morning she assumed we were just being unoriginal idiots again and tore down the paper causing an avalanche of packing peanuts to fill her room. It was glorious."

"My cousin installed a remote access program on his sister in law's computer after she took it to him to "make it faster" for about the millionth time. He waited for her to listen to music with it in the next room (they lived together) and started turning the volume down little by little each time she would exit the room. Being computer illiterate she would only turn the volume up with the knob on her speakers, so once he was sure she had maxed out the volume of her speakers he maxed the volume on her computer and almost ruined them. Her reaction was priceless. She's still convinced that it was a virus."

"Draw something on their front or back car window with Rain-x. If there's frost or dew, it looks different where the rain-x was applied, otherwise you can't tell it's there. They'll wash and wipe and clean, but enough sticks around that even after washing, you can still see the effects the next time there's condensation on the window.

Only way to get rid of it is to put rain-x on the whole window, but if they don't realize what you did, they'll never know how to fix it."

"This is what I did in college:

So my good friends all had a house together (5 guys). Well, like the typical college house, they were dirty and left their clothes and shoes everywhere. Oh, and they never locked their front door. EVER.

One day, my roommate and I went there at night when they were out. Spent about an hour stealing all their shoes. But only the left one. Later we came back in the middle of the night, we stole the left shoe of what they wore earlier.

So, the next morning they start to leave for class. But they don't have shoes. This is where stealing all of the same foot is key. In a pinch you can wear mismatched shoes, no biggie. But, not when they are all the same shoes. So they couldn't go to class.

I didn't mention, this was in the first two weeks of the quarter."

"Do this with your friends at a fast food place, when they go to the bathroom or leave the table for a bit: Cut the corner of a ketchup packet just big enough for the straw. Then take the straw and lid off their cup and put the ketchup packet on the end and put it back in the cup. Then sit back and watch the look on their face when they take their next drink."

you can swap it for a bar of soap too. this works best if its the same brand as their deodrant. when they are out walking and swinging their arms the soap lathers up and eventually foam comes out your sleeves

“My Dad used to carpool with a guy who bought a new car and bragged continually about the gas mileage he was getting. So my Dad would sneak over at night and put half a gallon of gas in the tank every night for a month. Dad would just smile as this guy was getting 70 miles to the gallon. Then for the month after that, he took out half a gallon. Epic.”

"Lightly spray water on the carpet and then sprinkle water-cress seeds on it. Those things will grow anywhere!

Preferably do it when the person is away for a few days, by the time they come back they will have a mini garden patch growing on their carpet."

With garden cress you can also "draw" pictures on lawns like football fields, parks and so on. As it grows faster than the grass and mowing will only remove it temporarily.

Just don't wrap the computer. It will overheat and will end up getting destroyed.
