Okay guys, here is what we do to prank people.

If you really want to have fun with sleeping passengers, pull up behind a tow truck that is towing a semi tractor backwards. Pull up as close as you can to the front bumper of the towed semi and have everyone in the car scream like you are about to be hit by the semi.

Hilarity and pants changing will ensue.

I take the empty r-134 cans (the 30 pounders) and try to sell them to people. I black out the original label and write "vacuum in a can, 3 gallons) on the other side.

A guy at work would always leave a couple of jelly filled donuts in his toolbox for break only to find them half eaten. After a couple of weeks, he took one and squized all the jelly out and filled it with grease - he did find out who did it.

At my first shop we had a couple guys take a tool cart put it up on the lift, tie it off to the top beam, and put everything else back just as it was.

Wire the turn signal to the horn. Or brake lights.

We did that to the o'rielly's delivery truck. The best part it the old man just drove it like nothing was wrong. F*****g hilarious!

A few years ago I was on a fire up in northern Cali. One of the guys on my crew fell asleep. Our engine operator noticed it and whispered on the count of 3 I'm gonna slam on the brakes. Everybody yell like we're gettin ready to crash!
We did and the guy woke up screaming, eyes wide open and freaked out. It was hilarious!!!
We were only goin like 10mph on a dirt road.

We once attached zip ties to every tool in a guys tool box. Every wrench, screwdriver, etc etc. It didnt do anything, but there was a 10" tail on every tool he owned. We ziptied the jaws on all of his cutting tools together, then we all took an extended lunch as he came back in. Couple hours later, we came in and all of his tools were gone. He had loaded his tool box up and quit. Perhaps we were a bit rough? LOL

Two guys at work refused to change the toilet paper rolls in the bathroom.... They would not touch them for any reason no matter how much we asked. So we saved empty rolls for a month then painted the one roll in the bathroom (unusable)

Then stacked them up like a little pyramid all around a single usable roll in the bathroom... And it was not visible, help was screamed for.... Twice.

They did not think it was funny at all... We did.

Sadly they still don't get it or change the rolls. Now anytime we want to save a lunch for us we put an empty TP roll on it because the joke is that they are too lazy to pick up an empty roll to wipe their own @$).

When I was younger I carried around a valve core remover with me, loosening the valve cores and installing the caps barely snug. Three days later looks like they were ready for offroad traction...

I am personally not a fan of practical jokes. Not that I've never played one or had one played on me. I have been at both ends and life goes on. I guess as I've grown older I just figure there's enough aggravation in life without causing it intentionally. If you're not making people's lives better, may e you should do something different.

Not to mention the button pushers in the world. Once they find something that bugs you they do it every chance they get for the sole purpose of getting you worked up. There are names for them: Douchebags, a**holes, annoying pricks, etc.

I just don't see the point of being like that.

Condom on the tail pipe makes a nice pop sound. I'll never forget the surprise of seeing how large they will blow up before popping.

Well, Vaseline on the dew wipes is funny every time, I've considered wiring a flasher into a headlight wire a few times but have yet to execute, dump a bottle of bb's behind easily removable body panels, etc.

Also, I don't really count this as a prank but it was funny as hell. I found some Warn manual locking hubs on an 80's ranger in the JY so I bought em, cut up my hub caps, and threw them on my 2x4. Anyway, I took the truck down to Discount and asked them to balance the front tires. The kid that was there had screwed up on my car once before I threw the fake locking hub on and he knows I'm pretty picky about the work done on my truck. Anyway, he zipped the front tire off and pulled the whole thing out.. The kid turned ghost white and went to ask another guy for help from what I saw. Must not know much about cars

^^If that doesn't make sense it's because I'm exhausted...

At a past job, while a service tech was traveling, the day before he was to return late in the evening, the guys filled his car all the way up with packing peanuts thru the sun roof, wrapped bubble over the top, under and back over the top of the car from front to rear and then shrink wrapped it all in a nice tight bundle.

I'd kill somebody. I hate packing peanuts!

And that's exactly what I was talking about. Frank got pissed just reading about packing peanuts. You can imagine the dude who found his car like that after travelling, when he probably just wanted to get home to family.

All the energy and effort spent on getting the packing peanuts, filling the car up with them and shrink wrapping a CAR, and then likely waiting around to see the reaction...maybe that kind of energy put into loving a wife and kids would make for a home they'd rather be at instead of shrink wrapping a car.

And then if the dude had snapped and whipped somebody's butt over it, he'd be the bad guy that everyone got mad at.

If I were running the shop where this happened I'd calculate the cost in man hours for setting up the "prank", cleaning up, and the car owner's hourly rate for the time he had to spend getting his car ready to drive home and deduct it from the pay of the morons who pulled the little stunt. I imagine all this "fun" was had during work hours while productive work was supposed to be being done.
