Your favorite prank?

[WildBlue]

I found a realistic looking rubber cockroach in a random place last week. It startled me so I have been having a bit of fun with it ever since. I just set it in random places or drop it on someone. It is pretty funny. I pranked my mom, boyfriend and dog.... but someone got revenge on me! I put my sweater on and felt something in my pocket and when I pulled my hand out I went to screaming and flailing.... darn fake roach looks so real!! 
So what is your favorite jokes to play with your friends and family?

Im not one for pranking or being pranked--my family knows better then to try me because I have muscle memory and instinctively swing around when im caught offguard.

Its pretty easy to freak out my sister though.  All I have to do is grab my plush Tonberry and have at it--hes soo epic in the games (scary--you know what I mean if you've played Final Fantasy at all) that she WILL freak out.

I have not played Final Fantasy. So I looked up Tonberry. He is pretty cute...... until I saw that big knife... yikes!!!

my favorite pranks is with Christmas gifts , my second youngest sister is a Yankees fan and the baby sister is a red sox fan.  I love to bug both of them with rival team gifts.

Best I have is my sister has a PhD in psychology.  She's also a hypochondriac.  Naturally, as a good younger sister, I make up new diseases and tell her about them.  Last one, there was an outbreak of Lidoderm at work.  Symptoms were lack of feeling/numbness, usually to the lower back and or hips.  Also a cold feeling in the same area.  I had both her and her hubby convinced of that one, and it all happens to be true.  Lidoderm happens to be a lidocaine pain patch frequently applied to lower back/hips.  COOLD when it's put on.

There's an ongoing prank protocol on my mom that's been around since my sister and I were teenagers.  She hates snakes and will freak out whenever she sees anything remotely snake-like.  We keep buying rubber snakes and, once or twice a year, we'll put it somewhere for her to just reach for and see it, like the dryer or the microwave.  She freaks and hates us for 15 minutes, but it's worth it.    She actually does have a good sense of humor, else we wouldn't do it.

My fiancee and I have been together for nearly 8 years. (Dated for 7.5, been engaged since June). We've been living together for the past 6. Day 1 of living together, the pranks started. He prefers the old 'sneak up behind and scare' vs. my 'plot, prepare, sit back and wait'. My favorite go-to pranks are putting a rubber band around the sprayer on the kitchen sink, saran wrap on the toilet seat, tape across a door way at face level... I've got a million of them.

I think part of what makes our relationship so strong is the fact that we're constantly keeping the other on their toes, and then laughing for hours on end at getting pranked/pulling off a successful prank. We can be pretty evil to one another, but we do have a few rules. No clowns, no pretending to be dead, no pranks that will be a giant pain to clean up, and no pranks involving any sort of living being. I dated a guy prior to my fiancee who thought it would be funny to release $30 bucks worth of live crickets in my car. Do you know how many crickets you can get with $30 bucks? Let me tell you... A LOT.

Neither do I! My nature is too anxious and sensitive to take jokes very well despite intentions so I don't really play them on others, either. My mum's boyfriend used to jump out at me all the time and it was really distressing to be constantly startled in my own home so it's kind of put me off.

Having said that, a good one that's not too nasty is to hardboil all of someone's eggs and put them back. It is a bit wasteful but I guess if you know they like potato salad with egg or egg sandwiches at least they can still use them.

I suppose my favourite prank would have to be offering my Mum sour candy.. Without mentioning the sour part 

This first started as an accident when I was quite young. I had lollies, she asked for some. So I, being a super nice child, gave her some of my best! The problem is that I didn't consider the fact that not everyone appreciates the sour candies 
Generally it only works with her because she apparently hates sour candy yet she endures it whilst pulling the most amazing faces lol

It probably sounds mean.. but she's a good sport and it's all in good fun 

Other than that I'm not much of a prankster since I hate being pranked in return

I don't tend to prank much, but love to get a giggle from others suffering from time to time.

I had a new guy (years ago) at work, we used to do foot patrols on a military base. This particular night they were shooting on the range, and because of the low lying cloud, it was quiet loud. He asked me if we were in any danger (we weren't, because they were miles away and on the other side of a main highway to the range) so I turned to him and said "now is probably not a good time to tell you, we painted a big red & white target on the back of your vest" I have never seen anyone strip so fast before!

I also brought my brother fir christmas years ago a "fake" mr potato head, the potato was replaced with a male appendage, and appropriately called mr *cough* (you know what) head. He didn't find it as amusing as we all did.

We used to prank each other a lot at work in my old job, we covered one of the guys cars in police tape & abandoned car stickers one night, then sent him a photo of it! He cracked up at the photo until he saw it was actually he's vehicle.

Gettin' a good chuckle out of these. 
I do like playing jokes. 
My boyfriend's niece loves balloons. So for her 4th birthday we decided to fill up a couple of water balloons to see what she'd do with them. We told her they were water balloons, but not what you do with them. So she just carried them around for a while. Then one of the other adults spilled the beans and told her she was supposed to throw them "at the other children"... all she heard was 'throw' ... and she did just that and splattered him with the water balloon. Little did anyone know we had a huge tub filled with water balloons and that started a pretty awesome water balloon fight.
