Messing with people's minds

[STFanatic]

Ya know, many of us love to kid around, telling jokes or pulling practical (or sometimes impractical) jokes on friends, family or just complete strangers.

I was browsing around on eBay and came across something that I personally would pull out an extra large concentrated can off Whip @$$ if someone did this to me.
Very cruel joke (http://cgi.ebay.com/fake-lottery-tickets-revenge-gag-prank-fun-LOTTO-gift_W0QQitemZ190191685255QQihZ009QQcategoryZ10237 3QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

I can see using these to get back at a rude waiter/waitress, maybe as a "Gotcha back" when someone pulled one on you.

Also, has anyone pulled a big joke on you?
Or, have you really got someone with a practical joke.

I know of a time when a cowboy I was working with back in the mid 80's, pulled what he thought was going to be a funny joke on a co-worker. It did not turn out as well as he wanted.

What he did was, while riding the pasture (a Texas pasture can consist of 25-50 miles) he came across a 5 foot rattlesnake and shot it.
The cowboy took it back to the barn and into the office (in this case the office is a small room where folks work on the saddles and tack, it has a coffee pot and a phone, so it is an office), when the cowboy came inside, he tossed the snake toward the feet of another cowboy's, the seated cowboy jumped up and hit his head on a metal rack, splitting his skull open. He lived, bit was in the hospital for several months.

I have some stories that turned out well, but lets hear from some of Y'all.

I would looooove to give those lottery tickets to someone someday..... that would be GREAT! :rotfl:

I have the tendencey to go up to random guy friends, or sometimes girls, and hug them very violently, and without any warning of what I was planning to do or even that I was there. Or wrap my arms around their necks, or mid-drift, or shoulders depending how tall or short they are.

I'm not sure if this counts, seeing as I dont mean to do it, but sometimes I'll go up to someone and start talking to them, or stand by them without saying I'm there, so they'll turn and get quiet a shock from it. :rotfl: If I stand close enough they'll scream. :lol:

I love to do that to my daughter.
She will have her MP3 player cranked up and I will walk up behind her, lean my head close to the back of her head and wait till she turns around.

Once (when I lived at home), my Mom fell asleep in her recliner, while watching TV.
It was only about 6:30 pm, but it was dark outside.
I cut her TV off, and set the clock (on the wall beside her) ahead to about 11:30 pm, and went & put my pajama's on.
I woke her up & told her she needed to go ahead & go to bed. I was yawning to make it seem authentic.
She said, "Gosh, I can't believe I've been asleep that long. I must have been tired."
She got up, went & put her night gown on, and brushed her teeth.
I told her "Goodnight, I love you.... sleep good."
She went to bed. Ha ha ha!

I waited about 10 minutes, and went in there to tell her what I did.
She couldn't believe it. We both got a good laugh out of that one.

One time back in the days when I imbibed in adult beverages, I was at this guy's birthday party, the liquid refreshments were flowing quite freely.
The birthday boy (22nd birthday), passed out on the floor and of course we had to mess with him.
We kept telling him to get off the floor or the dog would "tinkle" in his ear, he just made the usual drunken murmur's like "Leave me the ____ alone!" and so on, so, being the good friends we were, we made a mix of vinegar and warm flat beer and dribbled it across his ear.
He leaped up cussing about how he was going to kill that ____ dog!
The funny part was, there was no dog in the house.
It was all caught on Super 8 film. (I did say it was a long time ago :p )

:rotfl: It'd be wonderful if you could transfer it to video or something and share. :rotfl:

The way the bathroom is set up in my parent's house, there's a wall going to opposite way of the door. Basically, the perfect hiding spot. Every time I know my mom is in the bathroom, I'll hide behind the wall, wait for her to come out and scare her. She screams at the top of her lungs.
It literally works EVERY time.

Once I was walking up the driveway just as my parents were walking in the door to the house. They didn't see me, so I snuck up right behind my mom and grabbed her as she was about to close the door (but facing away from the outside). She screamed thinking someone was trying to break into the house, and my dad freaked out because he thought the same but couldn't see me. I thought it was funny, they didn't. Understandable. :lol:

:lol:

I like to walk by my daughter's bedroom where she is listening to her MP3 player, or engrossed in a movie and slap the door real loud, I can almost hear her hit the ceiling.

I screw with many people minds in one great way; I hug. I hug almost every single friend I have, anyone, at anytime, in front of anyone, teachers, friends, random people. Many people now think I have several boyfriends, when in truth I have none. :rotfl:

I came home from a night out with friends. My mom and dad and whole family were all sitting in the living room holding a little baby with black hair. They're like "We're adopting this baby. His name is Carlos." and I was so exciting I was jumping all over the room "Omg! Omg! Omg!" because I've always wanted a baby brother and I held him for like ten minutes-he was so cute! Whos room is he going to stay in? And then they're like "We were just kidding. This is your second cousin, and he's white. His name is Phillip." And I was just blank face.

Ouch!

Many years ago on a April's Fools Day, my then girlfriend and I had only been dating for a month, the girlfriend and her mother had a history of trying to get each other on that day, so my girlfriend told her mother that we were going to have a baby.
She was shocked senseless the whole day, called all her relatives about it and even started thinking up names.

The mother cooked up a huge dinner for us, and just at desert, the girlfriend raised a glass of water and said flatly, "Here is to April Fool's day".
The mother made her call all the relatives and tell them what she did.

I'm always pulling jokes on my sister.

A few years ago on april fools day she was out with her boyfriend. I called her up and told her there was a fire at home, that everyone was alright but the tv and most of the furniture was destroyed. I waited and heard her say 'oh my god' a few times, then I said 'Oh and one more thing... april fool!'. She was NOT happy. :)

[STFanatic]

:lol:

Now I can't wait for April 1st ;)

[Smallville_Angel]

My mother once told me a story about a radio station here in Australia who pulled the funniest April Fool's trick ever:

apparantly, in the weeks leading up to April 1st, the station advertised that on said day, they were intending on having a jumbo going under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. People were completely sucked in - they thought that it meant that a jumbo jet would be flown under the bridge, which is utterly impossible. Come April 1st, people were literally lined up along the harbour waiting to see the jumbo fly under the bridge. Didn't they get the shock of their lives when in come a boat, and tied to the back of it, a jumbo elephant, which went under the bridge. Needless to say, the station really fooled people, and I wouldn't be surprised if they lost a few listeners after that little stunt!:rotfl:

Ha ha ha! April Fools jokes are good as long as people don't take them too far.

My Mom called me up a few years back, & was extremely upset. She told me that their house was on fire, & smoke was everywhere. She said she couldn't wake my Dad up. She sounded like she was really crying.
It scared me so bad, I almost couldn't breathe, & I started having chest pains. I hung the phone up & grabbed my car keys, ready to drive as fast as I can to their house (7 miles away).
She called right back & said, "April Fools!" Oh man, I was so mad.
I said, "Damn you that was NOT funny!!," and slammed the phone down. I actually sat down & started crying, it scared me so bad. I thought I was gonna' lose my parents.

She called back & apologized a few minutes later. She said she just did that on a whim, & wasn't really thinking about the consequences. Dad got mad at her too, & told her she should've known better not to joke about something like that.

I could've had a frickin' heart attack, or wrecked trying to get there. :eek:

Once, a few years ago, I went over to my friendsand had lunch there. It was apples and peanut butter, and a side dish of almonds. I finished, then asjed what kind of nuts they were. "Almonds" my friend replied, and I started to freak out, explaining that I was "alergic" to almonds. "But you just had peanut butter!!!' They yelled. I told them peanuts where fine, but almonds were horrible, and started to gag and take deep breathes. They started to freak out, and after a moment, I straightened up laughing, and they figured it out.

They don't offer me almonds with lunch anymore. :lol:

[InLove_with_Chloe]

That's an interesting lunch.....

[thmallville]

I"m allergic to peanuts and not almonds. :rotfl: Peanuts aren't nuts, they're legumes.

I have no stories to tell. :rotfl:

yeah that was way out of line, lol.

what the hell

[Smallville_Angel]

Randy, your mother went too far there - fortunately you didn't have a heart attack, but you now know to be weary should she ever be game enough to pull another such stunt.

[Chlarkerlover]

That's an interesting lunch.....

We were seven. :lol:
