    Text - caraffa 2h One April fools day I got a text from a wrong number. It happens, but he was nice so we kept talking from time to time, his name was jeff. Talked about video games, music, I feel like i made a really great friend. I told all my friends about it. Lasted a few weeks then stopped. Fast forward to the following April fools and jeff texted me. I was like oh shit what's up man! We texted a bit when finally my friends broke down and said dude, jeff has been us the whole time, we just

    Text - ILUVBC 2h It's my birthday and I've never been pranked on April 1st. However I did prank my 8th grade teacher and got into a lot of trouble. He was this annoying too cool for his job type, said he knew the Police band not uniforms. Anyhow he would always walk around and around the classroom pontificating on whatever and when he' d pass by his desk he would ALWAYS step in his trash can to crush the papers. Soooò, I filled the trash can 3/4 with water and topped it off with scrunched up pap

    Text - TheEntWithNoName . 2h The nameplates at my office job have paper inserts with the cube dweller's name. I am going to print out a bunch of one person's name in smaller fonts, like increments of .25. I'm going to start replacing with smaller fonts each day starting March 1. I know it's not super crazy, but should be fun

    Text - boxster 3h When I was in high school, I brought a bag of garlic flavored jelly beans to school to prank my friends on April Fools. Instead a classmate grabbed them out of my bag during group work (it was a school with under 100 students, so everyone knew I brought extra treats) and I hear some odd shouting from across the room. Said classmates then handed them off to our teacher to try, without saying why, and I unintentionally pranked my entire year. So I recommend putting out candy on y

    Text - East Tourist 4h 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 gas mileage and was bra

    Text - ryanmcstylin S 3h My roommate would get up and steal the shower as soon as he heard my alarm go off. 6 weeks later, I had him waking up to shower at 4:30. I would just turn off my pavlovian alarm and go back to sleep for another 3 hours waiting for the real alarm.

    Text - cantonbecker S My wife and son teamed up on me for this one a couple years ago. Drove me nuts. 2h For weeks leading up to Apr 1st, one or the other would report that there was a leak in our bathroom. I'm the default handyman so I'd check it out and sure enough, there'd be a mysterious puddle of water on the floor. Check the walls, ceiling, no moisture. Check the tub, the shower, no drips. Kept happening week after week, and I could NOT figure out what the hell was going on. April 1st come

    Text - SikoraP13 4h Start buying different lightbulbs for every light in your house. If you've got soft light, buy the sunlight bulbs, if you've got the sunlight bulbs, go with the soft light bulbs. Install all of them overnight going into April Fool's Day. Act like nothing has changed. For bonus points, continue swapping them once every few days and see how long you can keep it going...

    Text - Galileo182 3h Start putting more and more caffeinated coffee in the coffee maker at work. If it's dark roast, switch it to a blend of dark/medium, work your way to medium, then up to a light roast. If you want to go a little nuts with it, get some Death Wish coffee and put a small amount of that in. By March 31, get everyone in the office used to a nice caffeine jag on some high octane brew. April 1: Decaf.

    Text - CheeseVampire 3h In college, a bunch of students got together with local police and staged a murder crime scene in a professor's office. Fake blood, yellow crime tape, the police taking statements and questioning the professor on his whereabouts during the time of the "killing." It took a lot of planning ahead of time. Totally got him. Was talked about for many years after.

    Text - thechaplinhunter 1h I put an ad on Craigslist in new york city looking for a wookie impersonation for a film I was "making" but I listed my friends phone number. In the instructions I wrote if I answer just make the noise and hang up, Ill call you back if it's good enough. If you get my voicemail follow the same procedure. Long story short I forgot about it for 3 months and one day I was out getting wings with him when he received a call. He slammed his phone down pissed. I asked what was
