    april fools prank - Text - fdsdfg 1h Start sending a friend collection notices. Something bogus and ridiculous so it's obviously a scam or the wrong recipient: 'HELLO I HEOP YOU ARE VERY MUCH ENJOYING THE DELIVERY OF YOUR Harley Davidson 1979 Collectors Motorcycle DELIVERED IN FULL LAST WEEK AS AGREED PAYMENT IS REQUIRED UPON DELIVERY HOWEVER WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR PAYMENT PLEASE MAKE CHECK PAYABLE TO CASH IN THE ORDER OF 10,000,000 RUPEES (138255.20 USD) DELIVEREABLE IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID ANY

    april fools prank - Text - RamsesThePigeon 2h You may have to spend a little bit of money for this one, but it will be worth the cost. 1. Start showing up to your job looking a bit haggard and weary. 2. If questioned about your appearance, insist that nothing is wrong. 3. Slowly escalate your performance, glancing over your shoulder, jumping at sounds, and so on. 4. If ever someone says something that sounds a bit like "clown," act panicked. 5. Frequently deny being scared of clowns, even shoeho

    april fools prank - Text - egnards 8h So 3 years ago for April Fool's day I bought 100 $1 lawn flamingos from dollar tree and planted them all around my apartment complex starting 3 days before April Fools. The first day it was just 1... The second day I did a small flock in another corner and on the final day l enlisted a buddy to help me with unloading the rest under the cover of darkness. However if I had the money to just throw away on something like this I would start now for next year. Sta

    april fools prank - Text - desertsail912 2h Don't know if you can pull this off, but it was of the funnier prank stories I heard on Klick and Klack/Car Talk. Some guys worked with another guy who was obsessed with his car's gas mileage so the coworkers slowly started adding gas to his tank without the owner knowing it, like they'd add two cups a day for a week, then the next week, they'd add three cups a day, etc. Since the guy was so obsessed, he thought his car was getting better and better ga

    april fools prank - Text - Wiggle TownMayor 2h Hide a remote doorbell in their office, inside the light fixture for best effect. Wait a few months then start using it. When they question everyone about it deny deny deny. When you're sitting in the office with them ring it and pretend you didn't hear anything, only to see them come to terms with their insanity.

    april fools prank - Text - freecain 34m Bring in a big coffee maker for the office, and offer to make coffee for everyone. Each week, slowly replace some of the coffee with decaf. Time it out, so by February, your office is strictly on decaf and adjusted. Switch to espresso on April 1st.

    april fools prank - Text - Oh man, you just made me have the best idea: Create a kind of diary/book from notes about what someone has been doing. But every entry (or almost every entry) is only partially correct. Example: You went out for drinks on Nov 8th. Your friend had a great time and nothing actually happened. You write that your friend suddenly started ordering hard liquor and didn't want to say why. Your friend twisted his/her ankle that day. You do that with whatever you do with that pe

    april fools prank - Text - dreaded_tactician 1h My favorite is the ol' rearrangement gag. If the recipient of the prank has alot of framed photos in there house, slowly start rearranging which photos are where. Add one or two occasionally, replace one or two with different photos occasionally. Start placing alot of mundane items around the house(paperclips and pennys work great). Slowly start placing more and more as time goes on. Put things in places the shouldn't be. (How the heck did my sungl

    april fools prank - Text - dial_m_for_me 7h I've joined a new company 6 months ago and I've been given three mugs during these months, one as a part of the welcome package, one for professional holiday and one just because it had a new logo of one of our products on it. I also brought my own mug on my 1st day which is the only mug l use. This got me thinking that there are probably like 3 mugs per employee here, and wondered what would happen if I started bringing in more mugs and leaving them i

    april fools prank - Text - Brock_Vond 38m For the last three years, my team and I have been playing a practical joke on our manager. Once a week, one of us has to deliver the weekly status report to a management team. Its pretty dry, lots of charts, numbers, defending of charts, defending of numbers. Anyway, so, whomever gets the unlucky task to deliver this pablum wears what we affectionately call "the Tie." Its a red paisley tie that kinda disappears into a jacket or blazer, and under the coll

    april fools prank - Text - beckdawg19 39m Slowly start hiding tree air-fresheners in their room/office. One a week, maybe more as you get closer. The smell will start subtle and grow at an insane pace. They may notice a change in smell they may not. Either way, after a few months, it will reek. We did this some friends of mine over a summer once. Three guys living in a small room, and we ended up with dozens of packs worth of the Black Ice-scented trees hiding under their beds. The infighting wa
