Two drunks with a ladder and a hedgehog
glad no one spotted us. Sharing a 4 man room at work. After driving up 200 miles early on a Monday morning, one of the lads was particularly tired by Monday afternoon after a hard shift.
After having tea after work we, headed back to the room where he instantly fell asleep at around 1800. We let him sleep until about 2100 before initiating the prank.
We basically changed his alarm clock so it was about 10 hours fast so he'd be woken up at 2100 but think it was 0700 in the morning. Sure enough he woke up looking absolutely knackered and complaining that he felt like he had barely slept. The rest of us were all walking around in towels and brushing our teeth/shaving to add to the realism.
Absolutely convinced it was in fact the morning he got ready for work. We usually went to breakfast at around 0730. This guy said he was gonna skip breakfast because he was running so late. We told him we'd meet him at work and went and hid in another room. About ten minutes later we saw him through the window, fully dressed in his uniform at about 2145, walk out the building and head towards work.
At this point we thought it was bed time. We all went to bed and of course, the guy walked all the way to work, found it wasn't open and walked back to find us all tucked up.
Needless to say, he was very confused. We managed to convince him for about a week tht he'd dreamt everything and sleep walked to work
I thought it was ****ing hilarious tbh.

I was coming home from a gig one night at the JCB club and in the front car was my guitarist Paul but a minute later I saw a car driving up behind me and I could tell it was a cop car.
It then overtook me and as it passed the window came down and Pauls best mate (a copper) was in the passenger seat so on went the lights and they pulled him over and I pulled over too.
The driver got out but Dave (the copper mate) had already pre-warned his colleague that Paul doesn't drink and his car would be sound.
The copper gets Paul out and says "We've had complaints from JCB club that the bald headed one with glasses has smashed items up in the dressing room".
Now Paul was a quiet bloke who said the odd swear word but he went absolutely ballistic and he was down on his knees, jumping in the air and swearing for England.
I told him to calm down because we'd sort it but the copper insisted on arresting him so Paul goes off on one again and the copper decides to cuff him.
At this point the copper says "You'll have to talk to my colleague because he knows more about it" and out of the car comes Dave.
You had to be there
Two months later Paul got his revenge.
Paul & Dave with girlfriends had been on a narrowboat holiday and decided to dress as pirates.
Paul had taken some brilliant pics of Dave and waited for revenge.
Revenge came in the shape of a police party and Paul was able to get in early (we were playing there) and put pictures on every table.
Paul also knew that Dave would be one of the last ones to turn up (as usual) so he arrived to a whole party of coppers clapping & cheering.

I filled a shop with rice then poured in water. I stood back and laughed while the bricks were ripped apart by the swelling food.
We discovered in our first year at uni that in halls, not all the room keys were unique....
One guy that didn't realise this thought he was losing his mind when small things moved in his room when he was out. Swapping 2 posters round, changing the alarm on his clock, moving books etc. We eventually told him when he confided in one of us that he was concerned he wasn't coping with uni and that he thought he was going cuckoo!
Another guy, we swapped the kitchen with his bedroom (which was on the 2nd floor with the kitchen on the ground floor!). Everything moved, his desk, tv, bed and wardrobe were in the kitchen, and the fridge, microwave, table, and chairs etc were in his room. When he came back in from a night in the bar he was less than pleased
Entirely covered another guys doorway in newspaper, all taped to the edges, having tied the door handle to the bannister of the stairs (while he was in his room sleeping of a massive sesh). Then we all waited outside and called his name saying there was a phonecall for him. Cue stumbling sounds from inside and the door handle turning.... but nothing happening. Hmm, this is odd... the door doesn't open... So he starts yanking at the door yelling at us that we're a bunch of ***** until eventually it bursts open inwards and then the priceless moment where everything went quiet and we could picture him standing looking at a wall of newspaper thinking "WTF???", then tearing his way out like some yeti breaking out of a prison
Well, nothing that special, but it was good fun at the time

This.
Basically we gained access to a friend's Uni dorm room while he was away. We bought some 800 balloons and filled his bathroom, front to back, floor to ceiling.
It took 5 of us about 4 hours to complete the task.
Some of the aftermath.
And yes there were some craftily placed water balloons in there

Young lad worked at our factory while waiting to join the Airforce, Sound lad but full of himself and a bit cocky but funny with it. Time for a joke.
I Sat in car park one morning till he parked up, as soon as he was out of sight, I broke into his car, less than a minute and put a crook lock on his steering wheel then locked his car back up as if it hadn't been touched.
Written two notes and put them in envelopes,
1st one was just a note saying for being cocky etc etc I've locked your car up and the keys for the crook lock are behind the bar in the pub about 1.5 miles down the road- I left this one in the factory reception.
2nd envelope I put a note in saying hope you enjoyed your walk to the pub and back to work. Also put the crook lock keys in here. I left this in the pub, just told the barmaid what I'd done and said a tall lanky young lad will be in for them about an half hour later.
During the day I told as many people as i could what i'd done and asked them to wait by his car at the end of shift.
End of shift he walked out to his car unlocked it with about 50 people standing there watching, his face was class, he litteraly stood there looking at this crook lock saying "thats not mine wtf, How did that get on there"
Was brillient we were all laughing he was so funny. eventualy told him that there was an envelope at reception for him and while he walked back into work to get it I drove home past the pub and dropped the 2nd envelope with the keys in off, with the barmaid, who i'd never even met before.
Worked like a dream, and he took it realy well. managed to get the keys and get the lock off. Funny as anything because so many of us were just watching him shake his head when he tried to get the lock off without a key

I'll bet there was a big let down in the end though.....
Most elaborate prank I played was while we were at sea. The accommodation on the ship consisted of a series of cabins running along a single corridor. Lining the corridor on both sides are hand rails in the event of rough seas. Thus, as the cabin doors opened inwards, we tied one guy's door shut and left him locked in for a couple of hours.
He was the ship's socially maladjusted ****-head, who had a rather irritating habit (amongst his many flaws) of never putting his hand in his pocket, but drinking everybody else's beer in the crew rec room on a Saturday night. So we decided to trap him in his cabin for a while to teach him a lesson about robbing our beer, yet again.

We have time
Sounds awesome
here we go. Oakham, 2005.
A = Deputy Head masters house
B = Girls boarding house
C = Gate. out towards other part of school (north of the church)
D = Boys boarding house which is 3 levels high.
E = Gate, towards oakham market place. (never ever used but usable)
F = Car park entrance into oakham market place
G = Used to be massive grass area (pic shows building site)
The school itself is based into 2 campuses, this being the oldest part. This part of the campus is outlined by the orange line. There are about 1250 pupils at school. The other blokes in my year decided to create a diversion inside the chapel (be really rowdy) to try and make it less obvious that something was going down.
Basically myself and 5 friends (at the end of A-Levels) , while 95% of the school were in the chapel/church; decided to lock the rest of the school into this part of the campus. We had 2 very heavy duty locks that we put on the gate at 'C' and the carpark entrance at 'F'. (I put a lock on gate seen in C).
The idea was to make some confusion and funnel all staff and pupils into the courtyard and through the gate at site 'E' as everyone knew that the gate worked. The night before about 40 of us in the boys boarding house had prepared well over 1000 waterballons with the intention of a ambush as people filter through.
We had built a slingshot to get some extra reach
, but someone let it off early and it landed somewhere around 'G'. Deputy head instantly realised what was going to happen and decided to take one for the team and over 1k people through his house at 'A', as he had a door that lead directly onto the street. Area 'G' was wet muddy grass at the time.The waterbombs didnt go to waste. We had 5-6 heads of department and other senior staff walk through the courtyard just north of 'D'...well, they got soaked...at 9am. I remember seeing a member of staff drenched in sweat from trying to remove the locks, hahahaha.
Boarding school....awesome.
1) the year after us set off a rape alarm attached to a helium baloon during school assembly.
2) the year after that...somehow...parked a mini cooper in the school sports hall...where the school assembly is held, about 30mins before it was scheduled to take place. Brilliant.

My mate's dad works as a builder, a few years ago they were repairing the cathedral in my town, my mate's dad managed to catch a pidgeon with his bare hands.
Shortly after, he got hold of the new guy's lunchbox and ate all of his food. Then replaced the food with this pidgeon. About 10 minutes later on their lunchbreak, the new guy opens his lunchbox and nearly falls off the scaffolding from the shock of this bird flying out.

Moar pranks..
Don't have any decent one myself I don't think. A while ago in school our biology teacher went out of the room for a while, he was fairly prone to doing this. Then one of the lasses then proceeded to hide in the cupboard at the front of his room. He came back, didn't notice she was gone from her seat for about 15 minutes. Didn't even notice she had gone in fact. I asked for some glue from the front cupboard, he opened it, lasso screamed in his face and he almost **** himself haha. He was all for it though.

We went on a trip to Wales with our local community centre where youth from around the world attended, quite cool. I spiked a drink with navy rum of a man in his mid 20s from Azerbaijan (he had a moustache), who had never drunk before and it was against his religion.
Upon the 1st sip, he sprayed it out clutching his heart and screamed "my heart" in a boratee accent. This was about 8-9pm, lets just say he wasn’t too happy to discover the drink had been spiked with alcohol. Anyhow he disappeared for a good 5 hours, we were all getting worried. 3am rolls by and the geezer strolls in, sweating buckets, only to changes into a bright pink shirt and head back out shouting party time!! Managed to get hold of him, he was quite drunk and amped, all off one sip which most of it he spat out, was so funny him hugging us with a bright pink shirt on, moustache and crazy accent.

One year in secondary school, which is a long time ago now, our year went to one of those outward-bound weeks in Wales. I was sharing a room with three other kids on the fourth floor, though that is not important. Was was important, is that the fire escape was in our room. There was a door, which lead to some metal steps to get down outside. Next to the door was a cupboard. The fire escape also had a curtain and a sign above it, which, of course, indicated it was a fire escape.
We were told on the first night that we would be having a fire drill at some point in the near future. I also overheard that they liked to do it late at night, basically just for the lols.
A plan hatched in my mind immediately as it would be quite dark, even with the emergency lights coming on the guide the way. So what I did was unscrew the fire escape sign from it's position above the fire door, and stick it to the wall above the cupboard door. I also pulled the curtain. I then waited.
Lo and behold, about half an hour after we all went to bed the fire alarm went off. 30 kids came running into our room and bundled for the fire escape, which was actually a cupboard. The first few went in, the two at the front bashed their heads and got crushed for a moment, I thought it was the funniest thing I had ever seen, my teacher did not, and I had to sleep in one of the baths in the cold bathroom for the rest of the week.
I have some much more amusing ones, but most are erring on the wrong side of the law (including gatecrashing a party at George Michaels house)

Did one a few months back at work having saw it on Rudetube. I replaced the windows start up theme with some audio clip from Saving Private Ryan and turned the volume up full on the speakers the night before. Sadly I missed the moment when the PC was turned on but I'm told there was a scream and some people ducked under their desks.

Wont win any original points for this one but used to play footie at uni. One day everyone finished getting ready and off they went for the match, my scouse mate had came along for a one off to help us as we were short..... so yeah we stole everyones valuables and stuffed them in his bag, took his car keys and put the bag in his car.
Everyone went ballistic and they were ready to string him up until me and one of the other lads admitted what we had done
