What's the worst prank you've pulled on someone?

i'm no good at pranks, but one night i was round at my mate's house having a booze-up (that's a night in getting pissed*, it can be good fun .

anyway, while slightly intoxicated i went to get another drink from the fridge and one of the shelves broke off - one of my friends came in and exclaimed, "what have you done!?!" and i told him, but we were laughing cos it seemed hilarious for some reason. the other guy then came up with a bright idea - we'd stick it back in so it would fall out again next time it was opened, then send his flatmate to get the next round of drinks ...

his flatmate was duly sent to get the drinks when they were needed, then the shelf fell out on him, and we all rushed through saying, "andy, what have you done!?!" - we blamed it on him and he was apologizing for it as well, classic!

* "pissed" in the UK means drunk, not angry (though "pissed off" means angry, not drunk ... )

The worst prank I've ever pulled was when I moved the furniture around over night, and left a sofa in front of my mother's bedroom door. I thought it was funny while I was doing it, but felt pretty dumb when I was done.

I just remembered. I'm not sure if this was the worst prank I pulled, but it was the funniest. There was this goodie-two-shoes girl in my Algebra class a few years ago. She always talked about how she loved AJ from the Backstreet Boys or N'Sync or one of those bands. And people would always make fun of her. I always found it kinda fun to pull pranks on such people... my victims. lol

For some reason, she gave me her phone number about a year before. I guess it was for an assignment or something. So one day, I decided that as soon as I got home, I was going to search for her number and leave a prank message on the answering machine. I couldn't find the number, so eventually I just loked it up in the phonebook.

So then, after finding it, I kept thinking, 'What should I say? Should I do a funny accent or something stupid like that?'

And then there was a magic moment... lol I remembered on a cd of mine there was a skit that I thought was funny. So I recorded it on a tape and then got my headphones, dialed the number and when the answering machine came on, it played.

I cracked up thinking, 'Wait 'till she hears it. I bet she would talk about it in class tommorow'. ;D

So sure enough, the next day, first period Algebra class she's talking to the people sitting near her, "Something really weird happend last night. I checked my messages and it sounded like these two guys, they were yelling."

I couldn't stop laughing and snickering for the life of me. I couldn't resist and so I whispered to some of the people around me. I didn't care if she found out b/c I guess I always pulled some sort of prank or made some sort of joke about her. At times it was fun and games for both of us, but other times, I didn't know when to stop. I think eventually she got the message when everyone else around me was laughing and she kept asking what it was about. Then she looked at me funny and said, "Nevermind".



It was really about some guy who wanted a Philly Cheese Steak and he was asking the server if he knew how to make one. The server was from Bangladesh and he was talking really fast and yelling about how he didn't know what it was and the guy ordering was saying, "how could you be in Philly (Philadelphia) and not know how to make a Philly Cheese Steak?!". So that's what she heard, but it probably wasn't clear enough, but nonetheless, she got it. She's so predictable.
