Ever have a practical joke go wrong....

[thelionqueen]

In my early 20's I hung out with 8 people all the time. One of the guys in our group was a very nice, sweet and very good looking guy. Of the 8 in our group there were 4 boys & 4 girls (no hanky panky between us, honestly just very close friends).

One day, my girlfriend told this guy that she had submitted his photo in for an amateur modeling contest and he had won! She sent him "official" letters to his house and everything. She let this go on for over a week (BTW I told her it was really wrong and she needed to fess up, she never did).

During this week he told everyone he came in contact with about this!

On the paper she sent, it said to meet the photographer at Taco bell at such date and time. When he went, she was sitting there and laughing. I thought this was the worst practical joke gone wrong I'd ever heard of...don't do this at home

In our home, our family was never allowed to have any fake snakes or do the fake snake practical joke because my Dad almost had one go bad that really wasn't a joke!

My sister just instituted the same rule at her house. My BIL recently bought my nephew (their child) a bag of plastic snakes and lizards. My sister was already mad at BIL for getting them because they looked too realistic and kept startling her. A few days later, my nephew was looking out the windows in a French door telling my sister to "go get that leeeezard". (He's 2. ) It's a French door with a storm door outside of it, and my sister saw that there was a lizard in the area in between the two doors. She thought it was just another plastic lizard, so she opened the door and picked it up. It turned out that it was a real one. It wasn't alive, though, so it didn't move. The poor thing had gotten stuck between the two doors, and since the storm door is solid glass, the sun had come in and baked the poor thing until he was crispy.

IMHO, it is a very bad idea and not a very nice thing to do. You could very well upset someone very much. I had someone play a joke on me once with a bug. I found no humor in it at all. At the time, I was deathly afraid of bugs. They felt pretty bad once they saw how if affected me. Jokes should be fun for both the joker and jokee. If not, it shouldn't be done.

Another snake joke -

My Dad, when he was in high school (a billion years ago) had this group of guys he hung out with. Well, they took one of their mom's handbags, a really large one and put a black snake in it and left it on the sidewalk and waited nearby and watched as unsuspecting persons opened the handbag and usually had a reaction. I think it was their one trick and they used it over and over and over....
Perhaps my Dad is where I got the very strange sense of humor??
And obviously some of you have the same humor...

Speaking of rodents in the office. Check out this printer jam!

This was an actual printer jam at John Deere Seeding. The mouse was not hurt, just stuck!

Another funny one is to hook a wallet up to some fish line and place it in a walkway. When someone walks by it and notices the wallet on the ground, as they are reaching for it start pulling it away. We've done this at a campground too and it's pretty funny. Man we must be the world's worst camping neighbors.

OK, I've never admitted to this outside the group that was involved, but here goes. :::hanging my head in shame:::

I work w/ some family, including my Mother who likes to act like she's not "with things" all the time, but she really is. It was a Friday afternoon, nothing was going on so two of the guys here thought it would be "funny" to call in a bomb threat. (I know, I know - it's horrible) So Mom answers the company phone and Perp A goes (in a heavy Spanish accent) "I am fed up with Sergio! I am tired of it and I have placed a bomb in the warehouse to blow up at 4:00!" then hung up. (Sergio is one of the foremen here) Anyway, we're thinking Mom would come running in here calling us names, etc. Well.

She comes running in here FREAKING out, at this point we all chickened out of telling her it was a joke. So she runs back to her office and calls Sergio in a panic and asks him who he pissed off because they were going to bomb the office. Sergio then starts to panic and keeps saying he hadn't done anything. During this we're all in here arguing about who needs to tell her. So she grabs Perp B and says come to the warehouse w/ me to look. So they go out there, Mom makes him turn the overhead lights out because they buzz so they're standing in pitch black & Mom is listening for "ticking". All of a sudden he screams and jumps because he thought it would be funny and Mom tears back into the office - but he had scared her so badly she peed her pants. She gets back in, goes to the bathroom to change clothes and Sergio calls her on her cell phone in there - telling her he just remembered he got into an argument w/ one of our clients on the job that morning who was a small hispanic guy - he's now sure this is who it is.

So Mom grabs all of us, the dogs, the cats, the hamster and rolls the bunny cage out to the front of the office and we're all standing in front of the office in the street like idiots. Thank GOODNESS she didn't have the presence of mind to call 911, I don't know why. Finally she decided it was a false alarm but she was leaving because she was so stressed out.

In a matter of two hours I must have had 10 calls from other family and friends trying to find out what went on because Mom called and told them someone wanted to blow up the building.

I'm sure that bought us all a ticket to hell.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

happybratpack, OMG, your poor mother! I'm speechless, but still laughing. So she never found out the truth? If not, you might just want to forget that it ever happened. Yep, think you might have a ticket to hell for that one.

I am the one with the major phobia. They did this to me and I left work for the day. I was really shaken by the rodent thing. If you have this fear it really isn't funny.

My DH,two DS's and myself went for a nature walk up in the hills. We had to travel through a pasture of cattle to get up the trails. I had worked around cattle and know how scary they can be if they have young calves to protect and also there were quite a few moose in the area which were reason for concern.

We constantly talked about this scaring us...so on the way back down the "mountain" the kids and I stopped to rest and never noticed DH wasn't with us as we were talking about the frogs we had seen.
After our break we got up and started walking again when all of a sudden from behind there was a loud thundering through the bush--trees snapping and a deafening "roaring" sound but couldn't see anything---of course we thought it was a wild beast coming to get us!
We have never ran so fast downhill in our lives---DH ran after us for 1/2 mile trying to catch us, he was yelling at us to stop but we just kept on running and screaming!
By the time he caught up to us I was crying hysterically and the kids were just traumatized---he apologized for days about scaring us so badly, he had just thought it would be a little scare. Boy was he wrong!
I honestly cried/sobbed for about a week and whenever I would try to retell the story years later I would still get cry. I think I'm over it now!
My uncle also did something like this to us when I was only about 6 y.o.---at the time there was talk of bigfoot being loose in the area (I know that's weird but hey, it was the 70's ) ....we were on the side of the hill with our moms and cousins picking berries when there was alot of crashing and roaring through the bush...we all ran down the hill screaming, tripping over rocks, each other, you name it we tripped over it! By the time we stopped, all of us were hysterical and scraped up beyond belief!!
Yup, what great memories

Maybe some punctuation and a couple of capital letters would help.

Are you from the west coast? Maybe it was this way all over the country, but in Oregon we were obsessed with Bigfoot. And the picking berries.

I don't think it was the font that was keeping them from reading it...
