Pranks that you'd never have the guts to actually do?

My mate went to the toilet in the pub to stop us drinking his pint he dropped his false teeth in the glass.
One of the boys took the teeth out and replaced them with his own!
When our mate came back from the pub he scooped the teeth out and popped them straight back in, the look on his face was priceless as he realised the teeth weren't his

Secure one end of a big chain to something permanent and the other to the rear rear axle of the pride and joy of one particular rich moron and watch as he sets off out of the car park trying to break his own 0-60mph land speed record....

I learned of a chap who did that using a Cosworth and a climbing rope.

Unfortunately the climbing rope was anchored around a tree with a climbing snap link and the other end tied into a noose went in through the sun roof.

It looked like he had simply wrapped the car around a tree at first at 100mph...but no-one could find the head.

I know someone who's car wouldn't start once at home time after work.


The blokes from the engineering firm next door had removed the engine entirely.

I have been known to watch someone enter a lift on the top floor, then run downstairs pressing the call button on every floor below...

When my daughter was 3 or so, she used to love to press the buttons in lifts... except she would press all the ones she could reach in the excitement. Spent many a happy hour stopping at every floor, apologising to everyone getting in, once we got the doors shut...

When I was at college we had some Paternoster lifts in one of the buildings, these are small boxes that are open at the front and circulate continuously so that you just step in then step out at the right floor. It was said that at the beginning of the year some second years were in the habit of standing on their heads in the downward-moving lifts, for the benefit of the freshers.

Heh - I like that. Paternoster lifts were cool, I never quite understood why they got phased out in the name of Health and Safety. They were much more convenient, and there are much more dangerous things in the world which continue unabated.

I have been known to watch someone enter a lift on the top floor, then run downstairs pressing the call button on every floor below...

A workmate and myself were waiting for lifts in opposite directions (from the 7th floor) - he wanted to go to the ground floor and I wanted to go to the 10th. Lift arrives with the message that "this lift is going down". The smug grin on my mate's face was wiped off when I leant in and pressed all the buttons from the 6th floor to the 1st.

I'm normally game for anything, its all about picking the right victim and whether they would take it ok or run straight to the Hr department.....

'Crop Dusting'

Similiar to dropping one in the lift if you feel the need to expel at work then walk around the office away from your desk and distribute the smell.

'Change the coffee for decaf'

Cant do it anymore (machines only) but its surprising how many people never notice

'Remove your balls'

Laser mice put paid to this one, but a small piece of posty note over the red dot normally works

My boss is loud and boorish and his secretary changed his morning brew to decaff years ago; he didn't notice and it made no difference.

Best he doesn't ask what the cream is made of or where she gets the chocolate sprinkles for his mocha from

We had those in the old Tower building at Salford university.

Not exactly disabled-friendly, but I liked them!

 

[wiggydiggy]

Paternoster I had never heard of until a month or two back, certainly dont understand why they aren't in wider use...

Got one I wouldnt try, but would love to:

"Whilst in a lift going past a floor your not stopping at, scream and shout and bang on the doors that you are stuck/falling"

Possibly bad taste but meh could be funny
