Practical Jokes

[gearhead]

Apologies if there's a similar thread I've missed. I've always loved practical jokes, and now that I'm stationed at a non operational unit I get to participate far less often these days. Finally, an opportunity has presented itself at home. My better half brought home a pack of Oreos, and around here no good deed goes unpunished. I took the liberty of removing the core of cream from two of the cookies, replacing it with baking soda toothpaste, reassembling, and placing them back in the pack. I can't wait to see who gets them.

Anyone else have some fun stories to share?

I have an extra bedroom available if you need it. Lol.

I honestly never understood pranks on my spouse.

For sure siblings and friends but I like to keep the lady that sleeps next to me happy.

I understand it is for some people, I'm just not one of them.

I feel pretty sorry for the 'influencers' who's whole channel is pranks on each other - what a way to live…

Yours sounds pretty harmless though. GL!

Choose wisely, OP, lest she saran-wrap the toilet seat. I hope you got a REAL good back, because unless she's of similar spirit it don't take a crystal ball to see MANY nights on the couch and a WHOLE lotta "not tonight dear, I have a headache" in your future.

OTOH, if she IS a kindred spirit, they're definitely products of a bygone era but you might find the works of George Hayduke worth sharing some chortles over... those things kept me SANE in haaaagh-screwel a quarter century ago.

At the store with the wife, when she is ready to check out, ask her if she is plans on paying for the stuff she put in her purse, while in front of the checker. ….. Never gets old …

While checking out at the grocery store, the cashier asked if I needed a bag.

Promptly responded, I already have one.

Cashier wasn't all too impressed and had no sense of humor, my wife laughed her a$$ off.

Haven't been hit with the Saran Wrap yet, but I was grounded for a week for pulling that stunt on my mom when I was a teenager. Added some "snap pops" under the tabs on the toilet seat for added effect. My brother and I found it hilarious to wake up to the sound of screaming in the middle of the night. Mother dearest, it seemed, did not share our sense of humor.

As for George Hayduke, I have some of his stuff on a thumb drive but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Sounds like I have some homework to do!

Bear in mind, Hayduke is 1980s-90s, mostly obsolete especially with Mass Surveillance technology.

Did the pop-its on the toilet as a kid in the early '80s, Grandpa had a prankster side and got hit in his morning constitutional. A loud splash, then much hopping up and down like an organ grinder's monkey to swearing accompaniment... "The little guy got you good, Dad, because he learned from the best."

And because I'm too frickin' lazy to retype even though I'd rather not give my former employers the pageview...

The only one I still pull on Wife is with Alexa. She always has the one in the kitchen playing when she is doing stuff in there. If she walks away I will whisper to the machine "play Frank Sinatra". Then see how long it takes her when she comes back in the room to start yelling ALEXA STOP

I put these in my roommate's cigarettes one time many years (decades) ago when in the service. It was bad timing, as he just broke up with his girlfriend that day, came home and lit up a cigarette. BANG! Yeah that went over like a wet fart in church. Still funny though (to me).

Ten years ago my brother decided it was time to upgrade his old toyota truck so he took it to the Ford dealer in town and got a ranger. At about the same time the neighbors teenage son had been hassling me about selling him this mid seventies Chevy pickup 4x4 I had that I used for chores. I finally relented and then I wondered what I was going to do for another dump truck. Well, I drove down to the Ford dealer and sure enough, out back was my brothers toyota which I promptly bought for a thousand bucks. I let the salesman lie to me just for fun, never revealing that I knew the truck. This is where the fun began. My brother was at work so I took the truck up to his house (next door) and parked it in the driveway. The next morning when I woke up, I walked up there and drove the truck to work. He was so confused he called me and asked if I'd seen his old truck. I said that yes I had and maybe the deal fell through! He told me how when he got off work he was thinking the same thing so he emptied the new truck out in the rain (quite mad I assure you) and then got up early to take it back only to see the toyota was gone again. He was so confused! I couldn't just tell him so I let him stew on it until he pulled in at work and seen it sitting there in the parking lot. Needless to say all of our coworkers knew what was up and we all had a good laugh at his expense! That truck was the best money I've ever spent on a prank! I used it for a while and then sold it for a profit later. My brother still won't talk to me........

Try adding a quart or more gas to a coworkers car everyday for a while.

Always loved the 4th of July. Had some great parties over the years. Always had poppers under the seat!

I didn't let you know the other half of the trick, the gas doesn't come from out of pocket It's a two for one prank.

That's considered grand theft these days!

Don't start prank wars with fishermen or septic truck guys.
