I Hate Buttermilk
Published on November 19, 2004 By SameOldRat In Misc
When I was a child, my sister played a horrible practical joke on me. She was babysitting me, and as usual, I was being a little devil. After a while, I demanded she made me macaroni and cheese. I also demanded she brought me a glass of milk. Being the person she is, she complied. The macaroni and cheese was great, but when I took a swig of milk, I immediately threw up. She was angry that I was being mean to her, so she poured me a glass of buttermilk. She felt awful and I was even more pissed. But looking back on this, I realize how funny it actually was. I am asking you guys to post the best/worst practical jokes you have ever played on someone or have ever had played to you.

When I was in the dorm, two friends of mine were roommates and I can't remember how this started, but we raided their room while they were in the shower, took all their underwear and bras, and froze them in a plastic bag in the dean's deep freeze. Then we went merrily to the cafe for dinner. 20 minutes later our friends come in, sit down and begin eating like normal. No one talked--we all knew that my roommate and I had stolen their underthings--and finally we all just sorta burst out laughing. Turns out they were wearing their swimsuits underneath their clothes. (one-piece suits, no less) I think we gave them a day before telling them where their stuff was, and then they had to thaw it out in the sink with hot water.

Then they retaliated by taking one of each of our shoes and socks while my roommate and I were out skiing. As I'd hit my head badly that day, I wasn't in the greatest mood when I came back to the dorm and couldn't put on normal socks & slippers. But we totally deserved it.

Hmm. I've done tons of these.

You can take Dixie cups and staple or string them together, then put them on a certain important surface (someone's bed, por ejemplo) and fill them about half full with water. I did that to my H before we were dating.

Powdered sugar in a person's bed makes them all sweaty and sticky, plus it doesn't show up if they have white sheets. White pepper and tiny hairs are similar to itching powder in a bed.

Simple as it is, this goes down as the two best practical jokes ever. My man (O) was getting the mail in the basement when we used to live on the second floor. So, he was gone a while. Meanwhile, out neighbors from the third floor has stopped by. When I told them that O was getting the mail, the went into the hall closet to hide, just hushing me. O came back from getting the mail, and I just continued cooking and made small talk. After about 10minutes, they burst out of the closet. O literally jumped over a coffee table, onto the couch, and back into the corner. He's 6' 2'' and...well...not graceful by any strectch of the imagination. So, you can imagine the laughs it got. His heart rate was raised for hours. He couldn't even eat the dinner I had been cooking. He still says he's going to get be back, but it's been two years since then!

Now that I think of it, the third best prank was actually done to me and O by those same neighbors. They snuck a walkie talkie into one of our high cupboards and left it on. Later that night, they kept playing sound affects through it from the computer in their apartment. O and I were searching for where these weird noises. Just when we'd think we were getting close to finding the source, it would stop. They were being so clever. They only put noise through every 15 minutes or so. O and I would give up, thinking it must have been coming from out in the hall, or next door, or something. Then the sound would come back again. That's probably the most clever prank ever. After about 4 hours of torture, our neighbors cane down and gave it up.

Ok, but I may get nailed for this as I have kept it a secret.


I was a network administrator at a goverment agency before Windows.  So we had login scripts (batch files or series of executions).


We had a program that acted like a virus.  It would make the letters on your computer start to fall off like they were dripping into the bottom of your screen.


I placed it into the login script of one of the SA (Systems Analyst, just junior to the big boss), and of course it did its work!  Took her awhile to figure out what was happening.  And 2 of us Admins (there were 3 of us).  So Me and the other Admin were looking and finally figured it out.  He immediately deleted the program to fix her problem, and immediately blamed the 3rd admin!


He ran upstairs to confront this guy for 'childish' pranks.  After he left, I said "let's look at who the owner of the file is".  Unbeknownst to all, I had made him the owner.  Even tho he deleted the file, we were able to recover it, and see he was the owner!  So she got POed at him!  For not only tricking her, but then trying to blame it on another!


it gets better.  meanwhile, he is upstairs nailing the 3rd admin!  So she is now sure the 2nd admin is guilty, the second admin is sure the 3rd admin is guilty, and the 3rd admin is clueless! 


Not for long as he (3rd Admin) figured out since I was the only one not blamed, I had to be the one!  But as he was my best friend, he got a great laugh out of it, as did I!  (trying to hide the chuckles as all the finger pointing went on!).


Until today, only The 3rd Admin knew!  But now you have to guess where and when!  BTW.  The SA?  She is now director of the IT (information technology) department.  I dont work there any more, so even if you figure it out, she cant get me! But I still laugh about it!

Angloesque,
but we raided their room while they were in the shower, took all their underwear and bras, and froze them in a plastic bag in the dean's deep freeze.

If done to me, I would have just gone naked until returned.

Dr. Guy,
it gets better. meanwhile, he is upstairs nailing the 3rd admin! So she is now sure the 2nd admin is guilty, the second admin is sure the 3rd admin is guilty, and the 3rd admin is clueless!

What would have topped it off was if the other two administrators had gotten fired. It would have been quite tragic, but hilarious.

No, a good joke in the end means no one gets hurt.  A bad joke is when someone does.  We were always playing pratical jokes on each other, that one was just the best!

Well, this isn't a practical joke, but it is along the lines of a practical joke gone too far--and this is a story I heard 2nd hand.

So a friend of mines friend--who shall for all purposes remain nameless--was evicted from his apartment because his roommate ratted him out for some petty shit. So to get even, the evictee jacked off in his ex-roommates, was it, shampoo or conditioner bottle before he left.

Sick.

Sick.

Sick.

I hope I never piss someone off that much.

I know for a fact it was a shampoo bottle! It really isn't that sick, sort of enjoyable, if you're a sick bastard! But anyway, thanks for replying.

Im shure the person was under the influence of someones advice.
You know if your a prick that deserves what is cuming then let it be that.
So to keep away from what is cuming dont be a prick. Its just that easy
Or maybe the shampoo bottle was!
