post your Funny pranks from work or home.

Many moons ago, I worked at a dealership as a parts driver and we would occasionally play pranks on one another to slow the other one down. You see, the last one in at night had to take out all the boxes and trash before they left.

So I took an invoice envelope and filled it with confetti from the paper shredder .. then I taped it, upside down, to the 'up' side of a co-drivers sun visor in his truck. THEN ... I took clear packing tape and taped the seams on both doors on the truck so neither one would open.

He was mad enough that he couldn't get in to race off ... but the dispatcher told me that after he did get in ... hootin and hollerin cause of the tape... he slammed the visor down so he could see past the sun, you guessed it. POOF! Confetti all over the cab.

Later in life I worked at Insight Direct when they built computers. There was a tech there that could NOT type by feel, HAD to watch the keys. So, during lunch I took all his keys off his keyboard and alphabetized them. (we each had 4 keyboards/4 systems) In addition, I swapped his mouse cords so that mouse "A" showed on monitor "C", etc. He wasn't a happy camper.

Lastly, as an auto mechanic (yeah, I've done it all pretty much.) ... I had the parts guys searching for hours for upper and lower radiator hoses for a 1962 Chevy Corvair truck. For those that don't know, the Corvair was an AIR COOLED horizontally opposed engine ... no water except in the windshield washer.

(PS: MY 1962 Corvair Truck, called a 95, sits out in my drive to this day.)

I work at a hospital. Last week, on a late evening shift, a co-worker and I played a prank on one of the cleaning ladies. We paged overhead in a deep slow voice: This....is....God. Drop...your...mop....whoooooo!
We all had a good laugh.

We also all have pagers. You have to log into a system and then when you page your name shows up in the page.
One of my coworkers kept sending me pages all day long - very annoying.
One of my students has the exact same name as one of the doctors (just say John W. Smith) so every time he logs in it says John Smith, M.D. instead of John, student.
I had that student log into the pager system and we sent a page to my co-worker: From: Dr. John W. Smith - YOU ARE FIRED!!!

My Mom worked at a GM dealership for 25 years. She did everything from parts to payroll. She can't be 5 foot high standing on a phone book and one day she got in a big box that a truck seat came in and they paged one of the salesmen to the parts room and when he got in front of that box mom jumped out and screamed. Mom said the salesman who was black, turned almost white he was screaming so hard. Did I mention in my earlier post that my mom is psycho??!! She does the same thing to my 3 year old DD as she did to us growing up, and I swear that baby ain't scared of NOTHING!

This isn't mine; it's my SIL's. Her brother, my DH, can be rather naive. She on the other hand can be quite devious! Years ago, when they were both in high school, she told DH that the USPS added niacin to the adhesive on the back of postage stamps. This was because studies had shown that Americans on average had severe niacin deficiencies. When we all licked our stamps, according to SIL, the US Government was providing us with a niacin supplement.
Flash forward more than 20 YEARS. DH may be naive but he doesn't forget trivial facts. He goes to the PO to buy stamps for his Christmas cards. As he goes to leave he says to the postal clerk, "Well, I guess I'll be getting all the niacin I need for a while!" As he watched the clerk's blank gaze it sllllloooooowwwwly dawned on him; he'd been had!!
Embarrassing enough that the clerk thought he was nuts, I tell that story to EVERYONE!!!

a while back I took an old computer key board and crammed the seeds from a chia-pet down and around all the keys. Followed all the instructions for watering. When it was growing pretty good a went into work early and replaced my supervisors keyboard with it. He came in sat down at his desk and I heard WHAT THE F!

He knew it was me cause we were the only 2 there but he thought it was so funny he toke it and swapped it with his bosses keyboard. His boss didn't want to be the last in line so he called up the IT department and started chewing their butts for letting his computer get so outdated it started growing moss. The poor guy in IT who answered the phone had no idea what was going on or why he was getting a butt chewing but he got a good laugh when he came up to fix it.

Ya all are a bunch of practical jokers! I love it. You guys have got some great stories.

When I was 12 I learn this practical joke. You ask someone to feel your jaw for a lump, when they get there hand close to your jaw you growl and snap at there hand like your going to bite them. When I tried this on my mom and scared her, she, out of reaction smacked me across the jaw.

It seam like a good idea at the time. I was 8 or 9 Mom & Dad went to visit some friends that lived in a house boat, my sister [one year younger than me] was playing on the dock. I find this rock the size of a basketball and roll it down the dock till I get it by the house boat. I roll the rock into the water [kaplop] and start yelling for help! Dad comes flying out of the house boat and jumps right into the water. There I was standing on the dock laughing and dad standing in chest deep water. I learn that day that not all practical jokes were funny. [My but still hurts when I think of that story]

Remember when they first come out with “slim” it was cold and slimy, you could buy it in a machine for .25 cent and they come in a small plastic container. Anyway I would buy them and place the slime in the change dispenser on a soda machine, pay phone, or what ever had a change dispenser. Then I would watch!
