Okay, inspired by Ilander's challenges... the practical joke thread.

My contributions:

1. Use duct tape and saran wrap to wall in someone's doorway, and fill the wrap gap with something (shaving cream, marbles, ping pong balls, etc.).

2. Saran wrap on the ol' toilet. Not the seat... the bowl.

3. Electrify the door knob

4. Lube the door knob so it won't open easily

5. A little liquid soap in the toothpaste tube... nasty, but not fatal.

6. Hair dye in the shampoo... :D

7. Something a friend of mine did... taped three fish to different hidden spots in someone's work area. Eventually, they stunk... and were discovered... one at a time...

What kinds of things would you come up with to get even with someone? Nothing fatal, mind you... just getting even [img]graemlins/angel.gif[/img]

Well toilet seats have those sort of rubber things on it so the seat won't fall hard on the boil (hope that's clear [img]smile.gif[/img] )

tape or glue sacks of ketchup or mayonaise you get in some restaurants with a cut on the inside onto those rubbers. :D

I've been thinking about this...

Okay...here's a couple:

1) Stack aluminum cans/telephone books (especially the big ones... :D ) immediately outside of their doors...wait for the door to open...

2)When they go home for the weekend and you don't...inflate as many balloons as possible in their room, using a portable air compressor and the crack under their door... :D

I could also probably use the people who rapel down the side of the building on the floor above me for some kind of trick...but I haven't fiured out what yet.

Laxitives in tea, apparantly.
Me? No, I'd never do that. :D

Cool sig Illander

You could somehow fill their showerhead with red kool-aid... they'll be red for a week.

Alright, my school has a long tradition of seriously messing with each other, both internally & with exchange students (spending a semester at our school).

1) Let me espouse my love of dry ice: Freeze about 5 or 6 cans of shaving cream solid, and then chuck them into a small car (VW Bug, Ford Escort, &tc.). Ensure full watertight integrity, and the things will FILL the car until it's pressurized :D When they open it up, good times... but hard to get out of the seats.

2) Second love: dead animals. Everyone loves dead fish in the ceiling tiles, but crabs actually work better & smell worse (you can tell I'm living in Crab Town U.S.A). If you've got a campus with a lot of trees, dead squirrels will also be in abundance -- one of those on or in a pillow case will give a nice scare.

3) More sanitary but more logistically demanding: big trash bags full of leaves (this is the perfect time of year in the northern hemisphere). Take 7 or 8 bags to completely fill most dorm rooms, nearly to the ceiling, and it's a mess to clean up.

4) Classic harmless but annoying prank: bucket of water poised above the door so as to fall when the door's opened.

5) Winter season prank: spray hot water all over the snow above a door awning / overhang. When the door is opened & closed, the snow & ice will all avalanche off onto the person (this one takes finesse).

And, for seriously messing with someone -- this is a mean one, and will cost them bookoo bucks:

6) A cup of sugar in the gas tank. It'll caramelize in the engine & their car will die horribly.

Someone ever did this to me. Put a bucket of water on top of the door and left it open abit. When you open the door the whole bucket will drop down at you and making you all wet.

Hehehe, my friend and I were planning to do this to someone. ALthough we were told to freeze them and then remove the stuff from the can, it would be frozen so it would be easy, then when it heats up, it expands and goes every where.

Hmmm, dont think ill go into this one [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Well IMO you're pretty lucky then. I would care more about catching the bucket with your head or something, depending on the bucket I would worry about that more than about being wet.

3AM Bag o’ Tricks:

1) Fill a dorm garbage can with water. Lean can against door with lip of edge firmly wedged under the door knob.

2) Push against the very bottom of a door (that opens inward) in as hard as you can. As you do this, the gap between the wood and the metal door-jamb will widen significantly. Stack as many pennies as possible in this gap and release your pressure on the door. Repeat this process for the top of the door (above the knob).

3) Buy some crazy glue (Not the pen applicator type). Lop the top off the mini-bottle and squeeze the glue into any lock cylinder as far as it will go. “1001 uses; and now, 1002.”

4) Buy a roll of aluminium foil. Unroll/thread a long sheet under their door. Rip the power cord off an appliance and separate the two wires. Attach one to the aluminium foil and tape the other to the lock cylinder. Plug it in and leave.
