Practical jokes for uni?

[fraggle]

id love to play some practical jokes on my housemates at uni - any good suggestions?

[Kermit]

Wait until they all go out on the piss, then remove every single lightbulb from the house and wait for them to return.

[fraggle]

Well I used to sneak around the house and then jump out naked and scare the crap outta people..

Hmm come to think of it they didnt find that very funny. Neither did the police for that matter.

[Kermit]

Damn, youve spotted the flaw in my evil plan.....

Go out too, just take a torch <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif">

I once hung up a dead rabbit in a mates kitchen, he was having problems with one of his flatmates! It even had some blood dribbling out its mouth and into the bin. I know i'm a sick little F**K at times. But it worked, he didn't have any problems with her afterwards, mainly cause i'd promised to find a deer next time!

I'm not in a flat, and it only works on girls or blokes who are dying for a shit!

Emptying the Bisto into the drinking choclate always works well.

Or if you feel like being totally irresponsible, put the fire extingiusher underneath someones pillow.

moved to student forum...

[originsofsymmetry]

for some great psychological fun wait until they're out and slowly (this requires patience) begin to move their things around their room, inch by inch. The idea is that they won't have a bloody clue why they're bed is suddenly in front of the door one day.

or eat all of their ice cream and blame it on the landlords/cleaners

A nice little tweak on the cling film over the toilet is to also glue down the bog roll so they can't use it and if you are fealing really mean to also stick a stink bomb just under the seat so that it breaks when they sit down.

when i was in my first year we unrolled about five toilet rolls into our housemate's bedroom. it looked awful. we hid all her food under the stairs too, and turned off the fusebox which only controlled the lighing in her bedroom. we did get on really well, just she was no good at retalitaion!

Have fun

[stoyte]

Good Pranks eh? check this out. fellas i know broke into one gaff, moved a lot of things around to show the people living in the house that they got in, but they stole nothing. 4 weeks later, the boys sent photographs to the house they broke into, showing themselves wiping their holes with all the toothbrushes in the house. a pretty sick 'prank', think about it tonight when your brushing your teeth... <IMG alt="image" SRC="mad.gif" border="0">

A few worthy mentions from Lancaster here:

A friend of mine had a mate who lived on the ground floor. When the mate went away for 3 weeks to see his parents, my friend and some "associates" wedged his window open and got in the room. They sowed water cress seeds on his carpet and watered it. When the guy came back, he had his own personal student lawn (sorry, bad pun).

Another good one happened after a friend of mine went out on the pull. While he was out, we took his bed and placed it in the field behind our house. When he returned, he spent so long looking for his damn bed that the poor girl he had pulled left!

The last one happened in the first year when a dorm-mate got totally trashed and fell asleep on the floor of his room. We turned all the furniture in his room upside down (literally). <IMG alt="image" SRC="smile.gif" border="0"> We heard his morning scream from down the corridor.

we nicked the teddies from the guy next door (yes he had teddies!!) then put them up a tree, took polaroids of them and sent randsom letters too him. we took pictures of these teddeies all round oxford and sent him postcards from abroad too!!! We finally let him have them back by leaving them on his doorstep one day.
He still has no idea that it was us but he was a very laid back guy so he found it quite funny!!!!!!!! <IMG alt="image" SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I tend to find the subtle methods of confusion that leave people not quite sure if they are going mad or not work rather well. I know its a shameless plug (well, almost shameless, I shall, in interests of dignity be slightly ashamed of posting this.), but try http://www.obscurity.org.uk/confusion/ for loads of practial jokes and 'confusionisms'.

Here's a twist on the clingfilm one for chemists...

Please, only do this in ALL MALE halls or bathrooms....
And yes, it is dangerous...

put a teensy piece of lithium on the clingfilm, then take out the lightbulb in the loo. Pee is highly alkali.
FIREWORKS!

P.S: Friends of mine once arranged the entire contents of a mates room in exact formation (even down to the pants on the floor) in the quad outside his window.
Luckily it didn't rain.

OK I've been really bored over the past few weeks and done the following -

1) removed the kitchen table, chairs, toaster, dustbins and microwave and reset the kitchen - in my friend's bedroom.
2) put a chinese boy in my friend's bed with a note saying 'dear occupant this was delivered while you were out from 'chinese boys r us' we thought we'd put it where best.'
3) Antiquing - ALWAYS fun.

Very very old thread. As in, people don't generally appreciate threads from the ice age being pulled back up.

[Fiend_85]

Dude. Thread/Post. Dead

[JsT]

Cool.

Old thread though, Man I hate this new search system.

[piccolo]

But even so.... if you're in halls, wait til someone goes out, put a piece of newspaper by the door covered in flour or similar and then blow it all under the door with a hairdrier. They come back - no sign of entry and powder everywhere...

[Acrobat]

I'm toying with the idea of stealing my housemates key. He always leaves it in his door. Right now he's sitting in the kitchen and I just want to lock it and take the key. Not as a practical joke mind you. Because I dislike him and I am spiteful.

[melanie]

washing up liquid and coffee/ gravey granuals in the cistern of a toilet is always a good one. especially if you have one of those "pod" bathrooms that are in the new halls where the drain for the shower is a grate on the floor as you get brown bubbles coming up there aswell.

[Martin_Bashir]

Do something unique, say one that results from a drunken conversation.

We did one to a housemate living on the first floor.

The night previous to the prank, we all had this silly drunken conversation about dangerous things, where i suggested that Land Sharks (sharks that live on land and can appear anywhere) might be a problem.

So we taped brooms together to a height of 20ft and put a fin on the end.

We passed it across my mates window and she screamed the place down as a fin passed across her window.

Oh and we raided the flat next door with tennis ball guns.

:D :D

[lucifer devil]

not a prank as such but one of my housemates left her room keys on the outside of her bedroom door so i locked her in.
