    "Someone at a big camping party once handed us a bottle of rum, didn't say anything or answer our questions, just handed it over and walked away. He was pretty pissed like two hours later when he came back for it and we had already drank it all lol." said u/Difficult-Network704.

    "I mean… what else were you supposed to do with it? Someone handing me a bottle of liquor and then leaving seems like a pretty green light to start drinking it lol." said u/Automatic_Deal4039.

  • Font - fun_police911. 1d 17 Awards Every other week or so I'd change which side my coworker's drill's belt clip was on, 2 screws and 30 seconds for a maddening payout. Idk if he ever caught on, as he sadly passed away last year. I got a huge kick out of doing it though. Might bring that one back as most of us share the same brand of drill. He got a great one on me. Every day or two he'd hide a Magic the Gathering card in my toolbox, never the same spot twice. Genuinely made me mad when I'd pick

  • Font - halop29632 1d One time I called my friend who had just dropped me off on my cell phone and told her that I had forgotten my cell phone in her car. She hung up turned around and called me on my cell phone when she pulled in the driveway. I came out while talking on the phone with her and when she saw the grin on my face it all clicked. I honestly didn't even think it would work but I'm really glad it did. Reply 4.3k ...

    "I once spent an increasingly frustrated 20 min on the phone with my sister, looking for my phone. She just stayed quiet and listened to me lose my mind from half a country away. I didnt grok why it sounded like she was fighting giggles until i asked her to call my phone." said u/Saesama.

  • Font - FormerStuff. 1d 28 Awards Oh man do I have a story! In my freshman year of college, my roommate was a very neat and orderly person. He had every pencil in place, every paper had a folder, and his things got neatly packed away. We were pretty amicable towards one another, even with my messy living. At first, when he would leave for classes, I would admire how tidy his desk was and thought to myself "I should fuck with that". For the whole year we lived together I would sneak used staples e
  • Font - The straw that broke the camels back- I had asked him one night what his plans were under the guise of having a companion over for a visit. He said after dinner he had to go check out some obscure book at the library. When he left and headed to the dining hall, I snuck off to the library, found the obscure book he needed, and clicked a staple into it. He gets back to the dorm room and I'm doing homework in the same spot when he had left an hour earlier, claiming the meetup didn't end up h

  • Font - S halop29632. 1d 2 Awards I'm British, living in Poland. Whenever I'm in the city I always stop and help people holding maps, because there's really not much support for tourists and I want to give other visitors a good impression. However, I usually talk to them in a really thick, fake Slavic accent, but segue into my plummy English accent over the course of the conversation. If they ever comment on how good my English is, I lapse straight back into the fake Polish one and Fank very much

    "Now do that, but take the map and hold it upside down" said u/VecnasThroatPie.

  • Rectangle - thattjuliett 1d ● 4 Awards When driving I like to wave at random people as if I knew them. Hilarious to see instant confusion on their faces ... Reply 17.3k

    "I used to wave at random cars if I liked the car. I pass this really nice old Chevy every day on the way to and from work. We now wave to each other every time." said u/The_Bastard_Henry.

    "When I was little, my mom let my sister invite one of her friends on vacation with us. When we were driving, my sister's friend said, 'I've got an idea.' Both she and my sister had long hair, so my sister's friend took out a brush, brushed both of their hair in front of their faces, then each put on sunglasses. My mom stopped at a traffic light, and at the same time, my sister and her friend turned to the car next to us. This woman happened to look over and I watched her jaw drop that she was coming face-to-face with not one, but two seemingly Cousin Its. Then I watched this person start cracking up. We were the first car and the light changed right at that moment. The best part was my sister and her friend keeping their composure and not turning away from the person as we pulled away." said u/leftclicksq2.

  • Font - Swedish-Butt-Whistle 1d ● 6 Awards I put a tiny piece of masking tape over my co- worker's mouse laser on April fool's day one year, wrote "April fool's" on it. He troubleshot every single thing except examining the mouse. He eventually called IT who simply turned the mouse over and pointed it out to him. + Reply 26.9k

    "I plugged a wireless mouse onto one of my college professor's computers and moved the mouse around every time he wasn't looking at the screen. Did this for a few days and always took back the usb at the end of class without him noticing. Finally when doing my final presentation he realized what was happening when I took my own mouse up with me to click through the slides" said u/iesharael.

  • Font - Shea_J. 1d 4 Awards If I know someone is walking a little ways behind me and I turn a corner with nobody else around I like to run 10-20 steps to widen the gap and then laugh to myself thinking that the person behind me will be confused. I doubt anyone ever notices but I get a kick out of it every time. ... + Reply 20k
  • Font - homeba3931. 1d 3 Awards I went with a friend to the bank to get some papers he needed signed and some minor things done to his account. Every time the guy helping him got up to do something, he and I swapped seats. It took about three before the guy really looked hard at us trying to work out if he was going mad. Also semi-related, I can do my signature backwards, a mirror of itself. But then I write it right to left. I do it on unimportant things, like signing for a delivery or similar.

    Spoiler alert: there was no picture. It was yet another prank. 

  • Font - matt314159 • 1d The movie theater in my town is usually mostly empty. There's been a couple of times when I've come in to get seated and there's literally only one other person in my auditorium. There's an evil part of me that wants to just go sit right next to them. Not illegal, but it should be. Reply 10.8k ...

    "Do it, and start a conversation with a code like in old spy movies. 'The red ducks only fly at night'" said u/01kickassius10.

One day, we come over and she out of the blue asks if we have been flipping one of her decorations on it's side every time we visitied. We were puzzled until our 6 year old started cracking up.
