Entertainment & Music What's the best trick you have ever played on someone?

I want to hear.....

 

Tell us one of yours! Are you a trickster Linda?

 

A nephew was learning Italian at school and needed a word for strong. Uncle Scott helped out with a very plausible answer "stronso".

Needless to say, he called me one

 

As a kid we (my sister and I) pretended our friend won a major prize for a streets paddle pop competition. We wrote an official letter to her including a minor prize (It was a kit to build a toy sailboat with the Streets Branding), in the letter we said that she had to collect the major prize at some event in the city on a certain date but we dated it so she was too late to collect it!

Next time we saw her we asked her about it. Turns out she wrote back to the company though and they gave her a nice prize anyway!!!

 

We had a guy accused of stealing tea bags. Which, technically he was as he would take a couple back from the office back to his room for a cuppa in the evening and in the morning (we lived on site).
Anyway, we ordered 10,000 teabags and while he was away filled every cravice in his room with tea bags.
Shoes, draws, cupboard, pillow everywhere.
Then got security to basically do an ‘inspection’ of his room due to the ‘report’ of tea bag theft.

It was all set up of coarse. But he didn’t know and was going nuts over being accused of stealing.
Security went in and started opening draws etc. he obviously twigged it was a set up. But for months afterwards he still finding tea bags stuffed in various hollows.

We thought it was funny.

My wife tells the story that when she was in high school, the students asked one of the German teachers to teach them a nasty swear word. The German teacher complied, giving them the word, "Schmetterling".

For the next few days, the students were gleefully calling each other a
Schmetterling...

 

Two from high school:
- one teacher must have done kindy for a while - heard a swear word from one of the kids, and sat the class down to sternly tell the children to never, never, ever say the word 'broomstick' - you can guess what they all ran around saying the next few days.
- one of the male teachers had an unfortunate habit of - ah - rubbing himself along the edge of the desk in the classroom. The kids used to chalk up the edge ...

We would leave a paper message for our collegue.
Mr G Raft called would you please call him
Mr Lyon called would you please call hI'm

The phone number was the local Zoo

 

We had a staff member who had a habit of falling asleep at their desk.
Should have seen the startled jump when their phone rang

 

Did you switch the phone base to the next phone so when the phone rang , the receiver picked up the phone base continued to ring?

 

For all the mature dudes at work who chicken peck type, we swap a couple of the letters around on their keyboards, funniest couple of hours swearing you will come across

 

Put a very small piece Sellotape on the sensor on the bottom of a mouse and cover over the sellotape with black marker. It stops the mouse working properly. Very frustrating for the user - and very hard to spot.

 

Well before we had amazing tech,
One of the kids had a watch that could turn off yhe classroom tv by pressing one of the buttons

Much hilarity ensures in english class, the teacher never showed another video again
