7. Ore-uh-oh

My wife’s friends “Oreo’d” her car. Basically they open up the Oreo, lick the icing and place the sticky Oreos all over the car.

It was not her car.

8. Superhuman

My girlfriend had recently showered and was standing next to me wrapped in a towel. When I wrap a towel around myself, a slight breeze is usually enough to make it come undone. I grabbed the back of it and attempted to pull it off in one quick motion, like a tablecloth. I did not realize she has some superhuman towel wrapping powers, and she wound up on her ass. she was VERY angry with me for quite a while.

9. Blood Red

When I was 4 in kindergarten, a fellow kindergartner convinced me it would be hilarious if I put an upright crayon on a chair just as someone was sitting down…

That turned out very bad.

Blood was shed.

10. “He doesn’t do that.”

When my older brother was between his freshman and sophomore year in high school, he was taking a summer school class. So every morning he would wake up, shower, eat breakfast and drive to school. So my middle school idea of a prank was to grab his keys while he was in the shower, unlock his trunk, put his keys back, then hide in the trunk and scare him when he went to throw his backpack in the back.

Nope, he doesn’t do that apparently. He just tosses his bag on the front seat and drives to school. So with his radio blasting, he can’t hear me try to tell him that I’m in the back. We get to school, and he shuts his car off, so I hit the trunk lid hard once. He goes to check it out and finds me in the back. He laughs, and tells me to have fun on the walk home.

11. Pickpocket

I met my girlfriend like this. I was 19 and at a music festival, with some friends. One of my friends had a big hand bag, and as a prank after I came back from our tent, I sneaked up behind her and took here phone from her bag, right under her arm. I sneaked off. I planned to return in a few seconds and ask her why she didn’t answer her phone, then watch her panic for a moment for an evil joke. So I did, and she pulled out her phone and checked it.

In a moment of horror I realised I had pickpocketed a stranger. I spent another 5 hours trying to track her down and explain what had happened.

Happy ending though: I proposed two weeks ago; she said yes.

Edit: I will marry the “stranger” not the friend, though she will be there!

12. Bad Call

When I was a teenager my buddy Shawn and I loved to prank call people. We would just say stupid shit and laugh our asses off. We never said anything mean or hurtful. Just dumb shit.

So, one weekend he was staying over and we decided to make some calls. I was talking to some woman and was making her laugh when she asked if I was Alonzo. I said yes and she yelled to someone with her, “Alonzo is trying to prank us and I knew it was him!”

So now I’m like this is awesome! She thinks I’m someone else! So the other woman gets on the phone and is talking to me like I’m Alonzo… which is her husband! This shit is getting even better! So I play along and pretend to be Alonzo. After about a minute or two of making them laugh the woman says, “All joking aside, hun, is Katie home yet?” I then decide to break my own rule and say to her “SHE’S DEAD!” and then hang up the phone. Shawn and I laughed so hard for like 10 minutes.

Then it fucking hits me. I feel my blood drain and I go white. Shawn is like, what the fuck is wrong man? One of my dad’s good friends is named Alonzo. And he has a daughter named Katie. To this day I think I pranked his wife at work and told her that their daughter was dead. I never had the balls to ask if it was them I pranked years ago.
