So, my Escapist friends, foes and indifferent peoples...

What pranks, jokes and general mayhem have you pulled/had pulled on you? How'd it go? Would you reccomend it?

One I pulled:
One of my apprentices was irritating me a bit, so I sent him to the stores to get me a new bubble for my spirit level... He came back over half an hour later VERY carefully carrying a small box. It was packed with foam peanuts, encasing a roll of bubble wrap. The guy told him to be careful not to tip it because it'd been calibrated and had to be kept level prior to installation. [/smirk]

One pulled on me:
My mate moved in with his GF and was having a house warming. He gave me the time and place and I rocked up and knocked on the door, cigarette in mouth and case of beer under arm. A woman I'd never met before answered. Confused I asked "Hey, are Mick and the boys here? I'm here for the party!" She just stared at me in disbelief... Then I heard laughing behind me... It was my friend, he'd sent me to a brothel. [/facepalm]

Edit: don't be afraid to use your imagination... hypotheticals are good too...

Where I was the victim: Syrian wrap on the toilet seat. Good thing I realized immediately and did not get wet.

Where I was the perpetrator: I set up a "squishy" on every toilet in the Mens washroom in my school one April Fools. The idea is to place ketchup packets under a toilet seat so the next person who sits on the toilets gets ketchup sprayed all over the back of their legs.

I once spooked an entire bullet train in passing. Can't say where, but I'll bet it brought a surprise into their day. Fun for me too.

LOL. Yeah.

Anonymity can be a real good thing!

There was a lot of stuff I got up to at uni, which was funny, but I would be hesitant to own up to...

A good example; I won't say where or when, but on one occasion, some friends and I broke into a ranking officials office, stole all thier toilet paper, mummified ourselves and got around doing the undead thing... It was (southern hemisphere) halloween... ok? Yeah, probably not...

My mate went out to walk his dogs once, leaving about 7 of us in charge of his place. Needless to say, when he came back we had moved everything. No piece of furniture was where it started. It is very difficult to get a double bed down a flight of stairs.

I've had someone fill my toilet cistern with so much shampoo that when I flushed it there was enough foam to leave the bathroom, travel down the stairs and end up in my living room :/

When I was in london last year a friend of mine had the zippers on there suit case pad locked together, knowing they do this every time they travel I brought a packet of smaller pad locks with me. I interconected the locks I brought with me completely encasing the one they had put on origionally and when they came into the room I handed over the key I got with the set and simply said to them good luck. I went downstairs into the hotel lobby with the others and waited and it took them about 20 minutes to remove all of the locks when I think about it this was a better idea then tying them to the bed using plastic wrap while they slept.

One easter back in what would be the Swedish equivalent of high school some people organized an easter egg chase. Basically they would hide 5 cardboard eggs filled with candy somewhere in the school and at a given time and place the race would start an whoever found the egg got the candy.

Anyway when I heard of this I developed an evil master plan, I got a cardboard egg of my own and filled it with old Müsli (I worked with what I had) and I think I sprayed something on it as well. Topping it all with a note saying: "Wrong egg sucker." So on the day of the chase I bring my fake egg and decide to hide it in the cellar under the staircase, to my surprise that's also where I found one of the actual candy eggs!

Extremely happy with myself I swap the eggs and go to the race start, when it starts I sit and wait for everyone to come back whereas I start eating candy and chuckling an evil laughter at the girl who found the fake egg! Muhhahaha!

Mm.. I would go with the prank I have done before hand two April Fools ago. I got this special wraping paper that you can clearly see through, like glass but very thin. I placed it over the toilet seat which you could hardly tell was there. So when my Brother was visiting and peed, it sprayed back at him all over.

He yelled in fury and just squirted me with his soda can, chucking it at me while I laughed hard. I wouldn't reccomend it though, it's pretty nasty especially if someone you care about sits down to pee then that's brutal.
Fist it's called cling film, second I can do you one better.
It takes a little preparation but boil some water and melt in some clear jelly (gelatin to Americans), pour the mix in to the toilet bowl and leave to set, when set put a small amount of water on top to make it look genuine and your done!
DO NOT use this lightly, the real bastard of this one is that they have to dig the concoction out often by hand.
I've never used this as I don't know the adrtess of anyone I hate enough but it works let me assure you.

One of my favourites is to Araldite a £2 coin onto the pavement outside of the house/pub/wherever-I'll-be-spending-the-afternoon and seeing how many people try to pick it up, and how persistent their efforts are. They quick look of "no-body saw me do that did they?" everyone has on their face when deciding to give up and walk on is priceless too.

Okay pranks ive pulled while in college.

* Coffee grounds in the shower head
* Talcum powder in the hairdryer
* Overhead cupboard full of bouncy balls
* Superglueing sleeping people's body parts together
* Ducktaping spoons into sleeping peoples hands (especially hilarious when you do both hands so tightly they cant get themselves free).
* Removing all fuses from sockets in every appliance
* Removing the ends of cutain rails so that they fall off when you open them.
And finaly:
The masterpiece
We took every single item (and i mean every single one) out of this girls dorm room and moved it 3 floors up to the roof, placing it on the roof exactly as it was in her room, the desk the chairs, the bed, the carpet and best of all the sleeping girl herself (passed out drunk at the time). The look on her face when she woke was somthing to behold. xD

Edit: you can also have so much fun with a sharpie and some imagination that you wouldnt belive!!

I found a spider and because I was being particularly annoyed at my fellow students, I released it into the kitchen of our university residence hall just before kitchen rush hour.

Cue lots of screaming :3

I heard of one, where someone put a bag filled with ketchup and feathers and mince inside their neighbours lawnmower, and when they were about to start mowing, went up to them with a "lost pet" poster, saying he'd lost his pet parrot.

Other great ones include sitting in the passenger side of a 3 seat lorry, with two folks next to you, then when you get to traffic lights turn on some gay music (YMCA or something) really loud, honk the horn, then hide... it looks like two guys sitting very close together listening to YMCA in a lorry...

Best ones are moving house ones, especially if you get forcibly evicted. Cress seeds in the carpet, write in red paint "I will kill again", then paint over it in one coat of white (the colour will bleed through), and put four dead animals around the house tagged with the numbers "1" "2" "3" and "5", and see how long it takes them to look for number "4"

Oh, Lets see:

I was the Victim:
Honestly nothing is coming to mind right now.

I was the perpetrator
Insta-weld glue on door handle to sister's bedroom then again on door handle to washroom. I don't remember the brand, but it is not water soluble, so when she put her hands together to scrub (after touching both handles) they stuck.

My other sister has posters in he room. Over the course of a few weeks I moved them around daily. She commented once about how her room seems different but has yet to figure it out.

My Father and I once had a startling war. We would hide places and scare the crap out of each other. It was deemed a draw after two incidents that went a little far.

Convincing a person on our DC++ hub that a security bot was a loose female. Then the admin (using the bot) got him to go halfway across town.

Changing the font on all of the computers in my high school to some atrocious hand writing script. An admin left a terminal logged in with a script to do this.

That is all I can remember for now.

Ah, highschool pranks as well. We managed to make 10000 copies of windows media player on the desktop. No idea how we did it, and students didn't have the power to delete things from the desktop. Because it was on the network it affected everyones computer. You couldn't find any of the other icons.

Also, when one of our teachers left his room between classes (5 minutes or so) a bunch of us shifted all the chairs into the next room. When she came back in she was so confused.

I don't really like pranks. I've been on the receiving end of too many to list, and the few ones I've attempted went horribly wrong (as in, injuries due a very bad string of circumstances). I'm cursed that way.
