What's the worst wind-up you've ever done on someone?

A long time back we (me, 2 housemates and my partner) stole our housemate's motorbike. He was extremely proud of it - to excess considering it was only a little 125cc - and had it alarmed and locked about 20 times.

He was a member of a practical joke society, so we reckoned he could take a wee joke on himself.

While he was showering, we took his keys, disabled the alarm, unlocked the bike, and got my partner of the time (who had a bike and knew how to handle one) to wheel it out of the back garden, down the gennel, and into the front garden, where he locked it and reset the alarm.

Then when he got out of the shower, we suggested we go out into the back garden for a cigarette. It took this guy about 2 minutes to realise that his bike was gone...

And he went insane.

I've never seen anyone so angry. He threatened every single one of us with a slow, horrible death. He ranted and raved. And he never ever forgave us, even tho his bike was safe all the time.

I might feel a bit guiltier about it if he hadn't actually turned out to be a real *&£$%.

So, who can do better...

The worst possible wind up you can ever do is tape last week lottery program. The following Saturday, get those numbers and play the tape and see how your partner reacts when all 6 numbers come up.

I haven't done any 'major' wind ups or pranks 'yet'.

However my father in law to be bought back from holiday a bottle of Glenfiddich Whisky from a trip abroad. Upon returning home he emptied the contents into an old Bells whisky bottle and proceeded to fill the empty glenfiddich bottle with cold tea.

Now this cold tea looked just the same colour as the Glenfiddich whisky. And when he had filled the bottle he replaced the cap so it looked like it had never been opened.

He promptly gave it to his brother inlaw as a 'holiday' gift. Now his brother inlaw is a high flying executive (international marketing director) for a large well known tools (DIY) manufacturer. And when (as you these execs do) he had some business colleagues back to his house to discuss business. He thought it only fitting to open this 'nice' whiskey to impress his guests.

The look on their faces must have been a picture when they discovered the truth of what was in the bottle. Classic!

The only thing I can lay claim to is opening a packet of cigarettes and stuffing each one with one of those exploding tabs. Then resealing the packet and giving it to my brother who smokes.

The first ciggie, was a picture (he s**t himself), but he knew they must all have em in. And being desperate for those fags he smoked the lot (over a couple of days)! What a display!

OOOHHH, my favourite!! I LOVE winding people up and love practical jokes. The most recent one was a "lighter" that gave you a shock when you pressed it! I had everyone with it! Also, put bangers in cigarettes, had a detonator that you put a cap on and then put it under something, when someone picks the object up, the detonator acts like a mouse trap, hits the cap and explodes!! Classic!! Anyone got any others I could try?!

Ive got a pen which shocks you when you press the end.

At school a m8 had one of those coke cans that shocked you when you picked it up. It was broke, but i fixed it and made a few ajustments to the shocking circuit... oh the fun! After a little tampering it was pretty nasty! It broke when someone threw it accross our common room because the shock made their arm spasm. :D
I also made a 'tazer' from an old camera flash, that was very nasty! :evil:

Ouch, i know, my son brought ome of those lighters to us the other day and it gives you quite a jump, however after i fell victim to his stunt I told him to do it to his mum.
So she came in the living room and my son said have a look at this lighter, its like a flame thrower.
So she pressed the button, threw the lighter out of her hand due to the shock and it landed on my best varse breaking it in to.:x I guess it did,nt seem so funny at that point.

If you think about it theres as much chance of those numbers from last week coming out the following week as there is any other combination which is exactly why i dont bother. SImilarly when i think theres as much chance of 1,2,3,4,5,6 coming out as any other combo it puts me off.

sorry for changing the subject

Don't do drugs story...

A "friend" of mine (a loooooong time ago) was at home one weekend drinking with friends. One of these friends had also brought with him some LSD, which he alone took. As the evening went on this persons behaviour go stranger and stranger and more and more irritating. At the same time everyone else was getting more and more drunk and as such less tolerant of the hallucinating moron's behaviour.

Eventually, a couple in the group got so annoyed that they decided to seek revenge. They went and found one of those plastic petrol, jerry-can things, and filled it with water. They then returned, held down the irritating drug-taker and dowsed him with what he thought was petrol. They then sat down and played with matches in front of him whilst he begged for mercy. Eventually he fled for his life, chased on his way by his "friends" flicking lighted matches at him.

I know... it's not big and it's not clever. However, it could be a contender for the title of "Most Shocking Practical Joke"!

Hey Zamo......Just say NO!!

:lol:

(Sorry - you'd have to be an old Grange Hill fan to get that joke.)

i think my funniest was on my dad who was manic about golf and one year when the british open was on he was watching it literally 24/7 leaving the rest of the family bored to tears, in the end i climbed out the bedroom window and threw a towel over the sky satelitte dish
after having him rant and rave for an hour we decided enough was enough and we'ld let him watch again, trouble was none of us could reach the towel to take it off and we had to wait till the next day to get a ladder high enough to reach it.
needless to say i was really in bad books by everyone lol

When I was a student and living in halls of residence, every term we used to have a fire alarm test in the middle of the night. One night it went off and my mates got their tape deck out and taped the sound of it.

A week or two later we played a prank on someone in the halls, by waiting for them to go to bed, then we got a screwdriver and took their door handle off and removed the middle spindle part.

We rewound the tape and played the siren recording REALLY LOUDLY. The panic than ensued from inside the room where our mate was trying to open the door was really really funny......of course there would be no need to have more than one fire drill per term so this must have been a real fire! Thinking back we should have burned something outside his door so he could smell it.....would have made it more realistic! :twisted:
