More than happy to, if someone wittily mocks my height (I am 5'4'' and well shorter than Mrs Snail) for example, I am more than happy to laugh about it. But practical jokes which are just aimed at humiliation are a real turn off.

The worst one which happened to me was that someone decided it would be fun to get one of those "rant lines" to phone my parents and tell them that I had got their daughter pregnant and given her AIDS at the same time.

I was there when they got the call and neither me or the Snail parents were impressed, indeed it upset them both considerably.

Your housemates must be the most ultimately dumb people on Earth.

He, singular. Bless him. It took two of us to manage the illusion and it was so difficult for us to keep track of time. Keeping away from the TV schedule and having no lectures were crucial though.

How is that even on the slightest hint of being funny?

Lol, superb

They actually did you a favour, because I bet it made you and her parents appreciate her even more

Hint: It's a joke on an internet forum, you are not really supposed to do it.

Some years ago, when AmiPro was king, we loaded the French version onto our not-the-brightest-in-the-world secretary's PC before she came into work on April 1st.

The following year we got hold of that program that, when you stopped typing for a while, caused all the words to start falling to the bottom of the screen.

Being the kind hearted soul that she was, she took it all in a good natured way, and then locked us in the office while she went out on her lunch break.

It was one of those automated "rant" lines. The current Mrs Snail was there too. ......

You won't get as much satisfaction unless you think of the April Fool all by yourself.

i think its the difference between a complete stranger or a friend who performs the practical joke imo. Quite happy to laugh at myself (indeed i do all the time...probably look a bit mad too

)

But a complete stranger humiliating people for no reason other than their own gratification? I put that down as one of the defining qualities of chav behaviour tbh.
