harmless pranks

[oknow]

What kind of harmless pranks did you pull when you were growing up. One that comes to mind for me was on a dark lightly used road with woods on the side, we would put a purse on the edge of the road with some fishing line tied to it then we would hide in the woods, when a car would stop and start backing up we would pull the purse into the woods and watch how far a car would back up We had a couple that backed up about a 1/4 mile.

Kitchen sink sprayer wand. Rubber band around the trigger with the water turned off then position the wand in the holder pointed toward where the victim will be when they go to turn the water on. Watch the show when someone goes to use the sink.

Another one is to get a life size picture of a spider cut it out and stick it about 4 squares back on the toilet paper roll then roll it back onto the roll

Peanut butter on the toilet paper, tie straps on drive lines, sneak up and put playing cards with cloths pins on Motor cycles parked in front of bars (danger will Robinson), strap up eggs in light fishing line loops suspended across roads, cast fake spiders with a fishing pole and reel them back as an unsuspecting victim walks by. You know, lots of stuff that young boys would do back in the 60's

We used to "pull the purse trick" back in the 60's and 70's. We'd wait until someone stopped, got out and walked over to pick it up. Then we'd give it a yank and watch the startled reaction. We did it at the end of an alley in our neighborhood. A few times people got back in their cars, backed up and came down the alley after us. Of course, it was our neighborhood and we knew all kinds of escape routes, so they'd never catch us, in a car anyway. If they'd have taken after us foot however.....we might have gotten our butts kicked. Good times.

Call up Tom Peterson at 2:00 am in the morning and yelled "Wake Up" as loud as I could when he answered the phone.

Saw a news report recently.. London: someone snuck up and stole the license plate off a cop car (cop was enforcing a photo radar station) while the officer was in the patrol car.
Officer finds out about it when informed that his car was seen on camera going 100mph past his position.
I stuffed an adolescent possum through the cracked window of an idling but unoccupied cop car at 0200hrs a long time ago.
I didn't stick around.

Loosen the caps on the salt and pepper. Trade out sugar for salt. Glue shut the toilet paper roll. The old kitchen table meal time puke trick using Campbell's soup. Turn off the hot water. Place tiny tiny towels in the womans showers. Switch or cover up the Mens and Womans toilet signs.

All done as kids at home or on vacation camping. Much fun. Many years ago.

We had guys who would stage their lunch box on their workbench in anticipation of making a mad dash to the timeclock as soon as the end of shift buzzer went off.

So....drive screwing their lunch box to the bench was always a crack up as they ran past, grabbed the box and ripped the handle off...lol

Two come to mind...
At a family wedding we filled the groom's new Corvette with Puffed Wheat, right up to the T-top....he was not happy!

Then there was the late night one summer when my 10 year old friends and I found a couple dozen garter snakes and decided they'd like being relocated to the floor of the outhouse...
...when she stopped screaming and pulled her pants back up about 100 yards from the outhouse (how she ran that far, that fast, in the dark, with her pants around her knees, I don't know!....Mom was not happy!
...Dad almost passed out laughing.
...Mom was realllly not happy

Man!.. It was fun being a kid in the sixties.
When a chuckle and the phrase, "boys will be boys" from an "elder" would, on occasion, save a kid's hide from a tanning.

We had a sink with a sprayer so I would put a piece of clear tape on the sprayer to hold the handle down, then aim it right in front of the sink. Then when someone turns the water on, boom, they get soaked.

Reminds me of the time we smeared "Indian Buck Lure" on the mouthpiece of the new guy who showed up and decided to reorganize us by changing our cube farm around.

Another un-named person smeared a small chunk of Limburger cheese under the desk of our Engineering VP...that did not go well.

For the folks you really had a very strong dislike for.

A little skunk scent in a syringe through the rubber seal of their car door.
