Pranks and Hi-jinks

OneDollar · Wed 09/01/2008 11:13:19

One of my housemates is coming back this evening and I'm trying to think of something creative to do to his room before he gets here. Unfortunately I share bathrooms and the like with him so I can't resort to clingfilm and toilet seats, and something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmJoyuUJj2Q would probably lose me my house deposit.

Any ideas?

Cover the walls of his room with pictures of naked men. Unless he's gay. In that case, naked women.

Wait until he's asleep, then grab a very bright flashlight, sneak up to his bed, point the flashlight directly at his face, then switch it on and shout "TRAAAAAIN!" at the top of your lungs.

Um, I got an idea. Not sure if it's good though, it's first thing that came to my mind:

* Apply some makeup so you'd look like roughed up
* Trash room a bit
* Get some friend to make your roomie an angry fake call later, let him give a deadline and imaginary debt, like get this sum of money in this amount of hours or something

And when he comes, tell him that some brutes/thugs/neonazis/whatever came searching for him, and then let the prank caller tell the same story, like where are you, we're gonna get you, so on

Tape his confusion and panic

Upload video somewhere for us to see

For any other methods, still do the video part

@Pablo: He's probably going to turn up with his parents too... that would be hilarious. Though of course I don't happen to have a load of pictures of naked men lying around. Of course.

@Akatosh: Laughed out loud (really) at that

@InCreator: I'd love to try that one out, though I'm not sure I could carry it out that well while holding a video camera...

How about this idea: Hide a bunch of post-it notes all over his room with strange codes and symbols on. Number each one 1/16, 2/16 etc. But only hide 15 of them

Remake his bed so that the sheet only goes half way down the bed. You know, lay the sheet on the bed so that the foot of the sheet is at the head og the bed. Tuck this end way under the matress so it can't come out. Then take the head of the sheet and draw it up to the head of the bed where it would normally be. Tuck the bottom layer of sheet under the matress so that everything looks normal. Put the top blanet(s) back on like normal. When he comes hom keep him up late drinking or whatever so that when he does go to bed his mind is a bit foggy. The wait for the confusion when he tries to get under the covers

If he's obsessive-compulsive, it'll most likely drive him stark raving mad. If not... well.

IS the water trick true? That is, if you put some ones hand in warm water while they sleep, they 'go to the bathroom in their pants'
I like the 'post it note' one. Its evil.

My favorite prank is more of an ultimate revenge. It's a horrible thing to do to someone and I wouldn't recommend doing it. But I figured I'd share anyway in case someone finds it helpful.

First you find their car, which is typically the hardest step. You'll need 4 or 5 jars of petroleum jelly, a bag of kitty litter and a big roll of saran wrap which you can get at most kitchen stores or bulk sale stores, maybe even Walmart. Cover their car in the jelly, getting the windows and handles as well as the body. I never do the tires because it could cause some driving problems. If you're really mean, put big globs on the windshield wipers. Then spread on the kitty litter getting it deep in the jelly. Then wrap up the whole car with the saran wrap making it one big petroleum car candy.

The one guy we got really bad took 4 hours to get his car clean enough to drive it and 7 drive through car washes to get off all the jelly. But I know that some of my friends got real revenge on some guy and he had to get a tow truck. Keep in mind it's best to do this when they're not at home and at a party or something. This may be cruel, but it doesn't really damage the car like shaving cream does. I've actually had neighbors come out and take pictures of us doing this because it was so damn funny.

Slipping female hormones into other males' food and drink.

er...

I got one. Grind a handfull of sleeping pills and put it in his prefered alcoholic beverage. It's a direct hit.

Hide a bunch of dead fish all over his room. Put them everywhere, the smell will drive him bonkers.

It only works on some people, it's better to just 'spill' the water onto their crotch.

Mess his bed up so it looks as though you have been sleeping in it and leave a gay porno mag in it as well as a pair of your stained pants. Also, steal some of his underwear and put lipstick on them, then leave the lipstick in the bathroom next to your toothbrush so he puts two and two together and thinks that you have been kissing his underwear. And if you want top go one step further frame some pictures of the two of you together, or just him and draw hearts on them... start talking about "us" and he will think you have gone completely bent.

Great ideas, unfortunately I didn't get chance to do anything before he arrived. Still my other housemate is off in a couple of weeks and he's getting really paranoid because of all this room hijacking talk. Of course last semester we unscrewed his shower head (he has his own bathroom) and put a stock cube in there...

How about this for an idea then...
Go into your bathroom and hold a camcorder in one of the celling corners looking directly at the toilet. Record a couple of minutes then put the recording on tape or DVD. Now when you have friends over and one of them goes off to the toilet, get out the tape and play it so that when they come back they find you watching what is apparently a security camera recording of the bathroom they just visited.

Any more of your personal stories/ideas?

Ditto. That's brilliant.

Oh my god, that stock cube idea is hilarious! How well did it work?

Not well at all unfortunately. We ran the shower briefly afterwards to test it and I think it all came out straight away. Then when my housemate came home he couldn't get the shower to work - I've still no idea how that happened - and when he found out what we'd done he stole our shower head in revenge.

Glue+Eyelids. :

Better yet, replace the stock cube with red food coloring, if possible do something similar with the sink/s, and add some to the toilet bowl aswell.

You'd just need to design a slow-release mechanism, something like a cloth sponge soaked in a strong solution of it for several hours and then cover it in ordinary cloth a few times to slow down the release some more; might be hard to put it in or get it out though.
