View Full Version : Worst wind up you've ever done
original 29-04-2007, 12:58 Just curious as to how many of you on here get a buzz out of winding people up ? I admit i am really bad for it and have done some rotten things along with someone else may i add.But what is the worse you have done or had done to you ? Also if people do it back to you do you get mardy or just take it as fun ?

I love windin ppl up and always get told they,ll get me back :hihi:
not succeeded yet though:banana: :banana: :banana:
i wasnt me but many years ago after the first gulf war some blokes in the pub wrote to a brickie. the letter was from a made up company and it said he had been recommended. they offered him a job at very high salary. he came in the pub one day excited about the prospect and went on to say he'd been with his wife and kids to price a holiday to disney land now he will be able to afford it. ive never seen so many expressions of horror in my life.
Years ago while working in one of the night clubs, someone brought in one of those gadgets that if you blow into it the wrong way you get covered in talcum powder, Lenny Henry came in after a gig, i couldn't resist the temptation to try it out on him, he was slightly over zealous in his blowing technique & got blasted with talc (a little bit more than I expected) all over his face, he was not a happy chappie, but I did say sorry & bought him a drink. (After extracting his size 12 boot from my posterior):hihi:
I'm a person who can take a wind up & i've had many, but IMO most people don't like it when you do it back to them.
Years ago I was organising a large party & asked the shoppers to get me a 1lb of dried qualms from the specialist food shop in the village. :P
a mate of mine signed into his hotmail at work then forgot to sign out so i sent a messege out to his favourates saying he felt that it was time to reveal he liked wearing womens clothing.
seemed funny at the time but i soon felt ****ty about it

miniminch 29-04-2007, 16:56 On the website HotorNot, where people get to vote on peoples' appearance. I made an entry on behalf of the legendary right wing whinger T020 and inserted a picture of Adolf Hitler. He went absolutely barmy on here. It was on the hot or not thread which I don't think exists anymore and it was page 57 if I remember correctly. I have never laughed so much. :hihi:
GothicCharm 29-04-2007, 17:00 miniminch never fails.
the only good wind up i've ever done is tell my ex he had a hair out of place and he spend absolutely ages looking for it
craftyone 29-04-2007, 17:00 my self and my niece were bored one day and decided to ring my other niece up who worked in a large estate agents. i pretended to be from a large feminine hygiene company and i asked her some pretty personal questions over the phone in return for a large amount of products.
she did not object to answering the questions in the shop in front of her colleagues and customers. she nearly killed us when she found out but we could not believe she answered the questions quite openly in front of everybody. :hihi:
cressida 29-04-2007, 17:20 a new lad joined the next door airfreight agent at the airport and was sent over to the Terminal to get a mother's bar (mars bar)
One that springs to mind was sending my nephew to the Co-Op for vegetarian lemonade. The thing is, he had the shop staff checking all the ingredients to find him the right one. :hihi:

EdnaKrabappe 29-04-2007, 17:46 The one that I got away with for the longest was telling someone in my old job that he had been chosen as a model for a line of clothing we were to be selling. The only thing was, he had to wear a price label and thrust it into people's faces (using his chest) as he spoke to them so they would know how much it cost. The lad did this for the entire day and it was hilarious watching him poke his nipple into a customer's eyeline.:hihi: It was a feature of working at the store - if you didn't like being the butt of a practical joke, you didn't last long!
The funniest one for me was when i played charades with a mate, my ex and another mate. We all decided on rainbow (her partner would tell her) as the programme and then proceeded to act really thick and not get it.. rain shower.. bent bow ..she nearly killed herself trying to make us get it. :hihi:
I also aided and assisted in taking every item from someone's room and reassembled it on the college field when i was at uni, dirty socks and all sticking out from under the bed. Their room was completely bare when they returned.
Randy Savage 29-04-2007, 18:40 While at uni I shared a house with some mates ad we would play jokes on one another every now and again.. few of the better ones:
Hard boiling 6 eggs and putting them back into their box.. watched in amusement as my housemate proceeded to attempt to crack them on the edge of the frying pan.
Filling my housemates uni ruck sack with adult literature.. and he went to uni not knowing this.. being the clever chap he is he sat at the front of the lecture theatre.. opened his bag and it all fell out in front of the lecturer and rest of the class.
Swapping normal coffee for de caf.. forgetting to tell my housemates about it.. they were studying for their finals and couldn't figure out why they were drinking coffee and still nodding off..
Agent Orange 29-04-2007, 18:48 Repeatedly text my colleague at work on his landline with nursery rhymes when Tom Baker (narrator on Little Britain and old Dr Who) was the voice on the BT service. I was sat near my colleague and all I could here was Tom Baker saying stuff like "mary had a little lamb" in broken english stylee :D

My best mate and i do that but usually with smutty innuendos!
TheRedWizard 29-04-2007, 20:36 Youngster started work glass collecting and sweeping up, a few years ago when I worked in a nightclub over the wrong side of the peaks. Within a week he had been sent to fetch: tartan paint, spare bubble for spirit measure, elbow grease, multi-coloured bulbs, left-handed screwdriver and a long weight.
The sad thing was that his aunt (I think) worked in the local DIY shop and rather than putting him right she kept on telling him they were out of stock - he kept on going back bless him!
Years ago I heard of a prank on a young girl who did her errands for work with what she thought was a dust mask with red paint daubed on it, which she didn't take off & just pulled it down round her neck, little did she realise it was a sanitary towel. (bless)
No doubt that prank is still doing the rounds.
I once did some work with the Prince's trust and we spent a week in a Hostel in Edale. The activity coordinator used to arrive every morning at 8 am to take us all off to do outdoor pursuits. One night when everybody had gone to bed a few others and I decided to replace all the sugar with salt and put all the clocks behind by 30 minutes. It was brilliant the next morning watching everyone spit out sour tea and cereal, some of them thought it was the milk that had gone off and decided to make a fresh bowl only to go and add more salt. They were most annoyed when the activity coordinator came round telling them they were all late too and "really should hurry up and eat their breakfast". They never did find out who did it.
A long ago first aid class was enlivened by sending one of the students to another group to track down the neck tourniquet :hihi: .
when i worked for a well known fast food place we used to do loads of windups.. Sending people for diet ice, low calorie salt and the likes. used to be so funny.
dynamicdebz 29-04-2007, 21:56 I am the worlds worst (or best) at winding people up!
My party piece is at the end of an evening out or a party I am encouraged to ring people up saying they have won something. I always say I need to ask 3 questions, 2 very simple ones the 3rd question connecting the joke to the person who asked me to do it. Like who is you're best friend at work. You'll be suprised how many fall for it, some people fell for it terribly to the point where the person who has asked me to do it is too embarrassed to admit they've been stitched up.
I am good & sound profesional at it coz I spent years doing telesales.
When I am questioned about the time of day I am ringing I always apologise because I am ringing from Canada or somewhere in USA, didn't realise the time i UK. They still fall for it.
If you have had this done to you I apologise it was probably me but it would've been someone else stithing you up.
The resent advantage of this is my sisters fella had a phone number repeated on his phone & she told me about it. Within seconds I'd got the full name, date of birth & address of the woman who the number belonged to, yes he was having an affair! I just told her she won a competition but I needed the following details..
Should've asked for her bank details!
when i worked at barnsley council a bloke left a note on my desk to phone someone. i did and when he answered i said - "Hello, Mike Oxhard?" mmm okay i'm thick!
GabbleRatcht 30-04-2007, 20:54 I am a very good lier, but only for fun.
I once convinced a young lady in Rebels that I was gay.
Then she spilled everything about her lesbianism. Never felt so guilty.
HappyHoosier 30-04-2007, 21:40 Bill, the cranky old Arts & Entertainment writer at the newspaper where I used to work, was always cross about his approaching birthdays.
He said it meant he was just "one step closer to death."
So, on his birthday one year, I brought in a Grim Reaper costume, complete with black hooded cape, skull mask and gloves and scythe. I had another co-worker put on the costume and then sit at the old grump's computer, typing away.
When Bill came in and saw the Reaper, he immediately left the office without saying a word and didn't come back to work until the following morning! He never mentioned it in the 12 years we worked together after that. Never!
AtticusFinch 01-05-2007, 09:53 This one's a bit tame but I thought it was funny.
When I was 18 I went to Benalmedena in Spain for a lads holiday immediately after finishing my A-levels. There were five lads, split into one room of three and one room of two (my room). The lad I was sharing with was called Steve and he was well known for being a bit dopey.
We were due to go on a day trip to Gibraltar the next morning so after having a few drinks, Steve headed back to the room to get an early night. The rest of us stopped out until around midnight. On the way back we decided to wind up Steve. We all burst into my room telling Steve that it was 8am and we were going to miss the Gibraltar coach. He asked us why we were still in the previous night's clothes so we told him we'd been out all night. He got ready in less than 10 minutes and stepped out of the front door to find that it was still completely dark. How we laughed. :)
On the same holiday there were also two scottish girls who fancied my mate. After he'd returned home early one night the rest of us (including the girls) went to his room. One of the lads knocked on the door and told him that he'd lost his key. When he opened the door, everyone else pushed it open and he stood there in just his boxer shorts, in full view of these two girls. How we laughed. :)
BasilRathbon 01-05-2007, 10:06 When I was a postman I went into the locker room one day and realised that my tatty old Post Office issue shoes had got a great big hole in one of the soles. Coincidentally on top of one of the lockers was a shoebox with a pair of brand new shoes inside. Well, I tried them on and they were the perfect fit so I left them on and put my old pair in the new box.
No more than 5 minutes later the office manager came storming into the sorting office carrying the box yelling "You'll never guess what some tw*t's just done with my new shoes!"
That said, I was on the receiving end sometimes as well. One morning as started my walk I couldn't work out why my first delivery bag was so heavy. Thast was until I opened in and found not just all the mail but the office clock..
billyhill 01-05-2007, 11:12 At work one of our mates had an operation which required wearing a colestomy (sp) bag. He let slip that he was going on holiday at a particular hotel in Scotland.
One of the lads, a natural mimic, then rang up in his best Scots accent, pretending to be from the hotel, to enquire whether the lad needed rubber sheets fitted to his bed, given his condition!
He was absolutely mortified and could not understand how the hotel(!) manager had become aware of his medical problem.
I told my other half that the active ingredient in anti-fungal cream was invented by a crazy scientist called Wungal, and therefore was called anti-fungal wungal. I had that moment where he said I was taking the **** but managed to keep my face straight, and he believed me. A few weeks later, in the car with his mate, he told him this 'amazing' fact..
BasilRathbon 01-05-2007, 12:29 Possibly my best ever was when a female frined and I convinced a virginal male friend of ours that most modern women wore chastity belts.
tomjerry 01-05-2007, 12:44 I love playing tricks on t'other half. He owns one pair of shoes and one pair of trainers. I took one of each to work one April Fool's day so he had to walk along the busy streets looking like a prat (I was kind enough to leave him a left and a right though). I would not give him the correct shoe 'til about 11.55am.
On another occasion, I took all his trousers to work and left him with a funky pair of shorts, his poor knees were sooo cold by the time he'd walked to work.
:hihi: :hihi:
