My friends and I were discussing some pranks we?ve pulled on people throughout the years, and I thought it might make for a good, lighthearted thread here. What pranks have YOU pulled (or witnessed, or been the victim of?)
My most memorable prank was years ago. I was working for a now long-gone electronics retail store in their warehouse; it was the wee hours of the morning on Black Friday, so we had to come in early to get ready for the rush. I was the second one in the parking lot; the first was my buddy who had to drive from 45 minutes away; he was asleep in his car with it idling as it was 4:00am and freezing outside. Welp, the devil inside me instructed me to park my car, perpendicular, two feet from to his driver?s side door, turn on the brights and lay on the horn. What I saw next was beautiful: there, in the glow of my lights, I saw my friend?s once sleeping head shoot upright like a bullet and turn sharply left with the epitome of wide-eyed panic stare as he grabbed the steering wheel in a futile attempt to steer out of the way of traffic he?d thought he?d fallen asleep in. It was glorious; he was so terrified, adrenaline was squirting out the top of his head like a fountain. It was almost a full minute before he?d collected himself, realized he wasn?t about to die and was able to get out of his car and proceed to throw such curses at me as to make Satan blush. I was laughing so hard, I nearly passed out, but I managed to sputter a few half-hearted apologies through laughing fits and offered to buy him a coffee. He begrudgingly accepted (most likely to calm his nerves,) but didn?t speak to me until lunch. By that time, the tale had spread throughout the building, and our manager brought up the security footage from that morning and was showing it to everyone, even my friend, the butt of the joke, who upon seeing it, had to admit it was some funny shit.
