Got my high school shut down for a day (though it was over winter break) by posting signs warning of a gas leak.
Couple of kids in my high school rearranged all the lockers and the little number plates too so that nobody could get into their locker for over a week.
Upper-decker
my high school had 10 floors accessed by two large stairwells. in my senior year, as a prank, a couple of kids got their hands on 10,000 of those small, super bouncy balls and dropped them down from the top step. needless to say, class was canceled the rest of the day.
This one is in the legend books. Happened at my high school back in the early 90s. There was a rapist / criminal (can't remember exactly) on the run and he was all over the news. So a student there thought it would be funny to run around the school with a balaclava on pretending to be the rapist. He ran into the girls dorm and ran down the halls scaring girls before running up to the top floor to hide. Campus Police thought he was the rapist and called in the real police, they had helicopters circle the dorm with swat outside. He was scared shitless and came out clean, he got into a ton of trouble, but he walked away with the experience of a lifetime.
Back in the late 90s I believe, a student played the ultimate prank on our rival school. He took out a half page add in a major newspaper that said that our rival school was for sale. He put our rival school's number on the add. Their office was inundated by calls of angry alumni including an 80 year old grandma that complained that 4 generations of her family had attended the school and that they would sell it over her dead body. That kid went onto win the Rhodes scholarship and became the youngest governor in my school's history, rumor is he got the gig at least in part because of that prank.
Cows can walk up stairs but not down. Chase a cow to the 5th (top) floor of the school. They had to bring a crane to get it out.
Released rabbits with numbers 1-5 on their stomachs in the school. After two days of searching, it was determined there was no number 2.

We once hijacked the OCR resumes to a certain bank and removed the second digit of the GPAs so all the kids with 3.54 for example got fucked LOL
I dunno man, I think that crosses the line.
i thought the best one was on mtv with the boncey balls
Someone at my rival high school (they were actually featured on the MTV High school prank show for this) somehow managed to get a locksmith to change every single lock so that no one could get into the school. Classes were canceled that day and it cost the school something like $1000 to get all of the locks changed and get new keys made.
-Go ramblers!
Heh, me and my friend were in line at the bank to withdraw some money, which was going to use if for weed (typical high school behavior). This older woman one spot ahead was clearly eavsdropping so we decided to fuck with her.
Me: Okay, okay. Let's write this down and hand it to the teller so we don't mess this up. Friend: (Takes out a piece of paper and pencil) Sounds good to me. Me: Start writing "Give us all the money at your station. We have a gun, so play it cool. Don't call the cops or someone will be eating lead." Friend: Got it.
The woman obviously hears this, tells the teller before we arrive. Teller hits the silent alarm, stalls, and while we are waiting in line the cops come in guns drawn. The lady and all nearby tellers point to us saying we are the guys. Cops cuff us.
We get to the squad car, all the while playing it cool saying we are just withdrawing some money. We ask how they got this idea in their heads (we had been patted down and nothing was found) and asked if they had any proof of he charges. They say a lady heard us talking about it. The lady told the cops about the note, they searched our pockets and found it.
My friend had been writing down a list of grocery items. Best prank I have ever done. Not sure what ever happened to that lady though.
This. I laughed out loud, great prank
Someone called the school with a bomb threat at my high school during finals week. They evacuated the school for the day = more study time.

Some alum from my school back in the 60s over the course of one night took apart an entire VW beetle and reassembled in in the lobby of the deans office, as it turns out they never found out who did it untill just a few years ago when a few of the students who took part in the prank wrote a letter for the alum magazine.
Pretty awesome reaction

That would have been a good "prank" if it didnt look so acted, and if the dude would have knocked himself out cold on an open cabinet door
Ya there's nothing worse than a scripted "prank"
How about pranks gone wrong....

There are no words for how hysterical that must have been

Pranks in the Office (Originally Posted: 01/03/2007)
Does anyone have any terrible or funny pranks that people play in the office? Perhaps some senior guy pulling one on the analyst or interns?
sure...how about telling the new guy on the commodity desk that they have physical settlement of a gold contract and he needs to go downstairs, meet the brinks truck, and guard the gold over the weekend.
I used to call our interns and leave voicemails in a very difficult to understand accent. I would tell them that we had noticed their browsing to a number of non-business related sites (namely espn.com if I knew they had been visiting it) and that we needed to have a discussion about which sites were appropriate for work.
My MD was unable to unlock his newly reprogrammed blackberry. As a new proud owner of one of those devices I knew the default password, having never bothered to change mine, and willingly shared it. The next day when I left my blackberry on my desk for a few min and while I was gone an email was sent out and the alarm was set to 4am.
I just got a copy of liar's poker... the SEC investigation prank was beautiful.
a colleague of mine thought that his bonus last year was a prank. it wasn't.
Ridiculously low bonus or ridiculously high bonus relinquo?
low
My favorite is using "net send" to mess with people. Hit the windows key and the "r" key and a popup Run window opens. In the little box, type
net send [loginname of target] "text"
then hit the okay button. A new window pops up on the person's screen with the information in the "text" with only an "OK" button to push. The loginname of the person is also the Alias in Outlook when you double click on an internal person's name. Net send only works internally. Test it on your own computer first to make sure it works on your network.
My favorite pranks are:
Please click OK to delete the shared drive
Your computer is overheating, please turn off computer to avoid impending fire
You have been logged by Legal & Compliance for accessing questionable websites
Please click OK to allow SEC investigators access to your personal drives
Please click OK to buy/sell 20,000 shares of [company person is following] (this works best if they are in the process of trading at their desk)
Please click OK to install [name latest virus threat]
Any number of potentials exist for this fun tool. It's even better if the person is new or doesn't know about net send.
If the intern or new guy is answering a group's number or commmon line, call asking for somebody on the group, obvioulsy saying some fake name... the CEO's name, Terrell Owens.. you get the idea....
The best is when the summer intern hands over work to a new full-time analyst
Best April Fools Pranks (Originally Posted: 04/01/2010)
I'm a big fan of April Fools Day (I know, shocker, right?). Believe it or not, the French take April Fools Day pretty seriously. All day long, I've seen people walking around Paris with paper fish on their backs, a la the "Kick Me" signs of old. That's the tradition here: one running gag, hanging a fish on someone, and that person becomes poisson avril (April Fish). Kinda lame, but kinda funny all the same.
In the States, however, April Fools is elevated to an art form. Pranks run the gamut from scary, to funny, to really elaborate and creative, to downright lame (like Google announcing they were changing their name to Topeka this morning).
So I went in search of the best April Fools Day pranks of all time, and this is what I found. Some of them are pretty epic, like George Plimpton's 1985 Sidd Finch classic. Wall Street has had its share of pranksters as well (and I'm not just talking about the kind that help sovereign governments conceal their true financial condition from their EU partners -- Lloyd, you practical joker, you!). So let's hear it. It's been too long since we've had a solid prank post. What are some of the best you've heard of, seen, or been involved with?
Here's a pretty cruel prank I just heard about.
Any New Yorkers who've spent time on the West Coast and have experienced the transcendent culinary orgasm that is In-N-Out Burger probably got pretty pumped about this one:

Alas, it's just a cruel hoax.
I remember when I was in college one night I pepper sprayed the captain of the girl's tennis team, shoved her into the trunk of her plum colored Volkswagen Pasat and drove for 40 miles before pulling over, letting her out of the trunk and spraying her once more before running into the woods.... that was a classic April Fool's prank..... although I think it was November.
Marcus, being a University of Second Choice alum, I know you love you some In-N-Out...

Today, we sent one of our first year analysts over to the precious metals sales desk to do a "favor" for the pm sales team (this was all arranged beforehand). The pm sales team then explained to the analyst that they had sold several bars of gold (400 oz a piece) to the a private client 2 days before hand (commodities are T+2) and that the client would be coming by the office today to collect their purchase. They then explained to the analyst that they had to go down to "the vault" a few floors below the 1st floor of the bank, go through a few rounds of security, to retrieve the gold bars in a cart, and meet the private client in the security officers room on the first floor to transfer their gold to them and ensure it was placed in a Brinks truck outside the office. After receiving all of the instructions, the analyst left and literally didn't come back to the trading floor for over an hour. Apparently, he had been caught by the security officers when trying to get into one of the boiler rooms and was interrogated before being allowed to return to the trading floor.
Posted a couple days ago. This is brutal:
Wow if someone burned my macbook I'd kill them, straight up.
I know, right?
My laptop is my cash register. I could live without a cell phone for a few days.
We played one on my boss. He's incredibly forgetful, so we "invented" an intercompany project with a serious bigwig in the global headquarters. Then we cooked up a forged email to the PA saying that he'd been waiting for our completed project for a while, and that this was making us lose credibility with a long-term client. So the PA forwarded it to him and said there was an important email waiting. We made sure the email had come from a Blackberry-type font (no html), that the project name followed his pattern, that it was a sufficiently small budget that it'd be realistic that he'd not paid any attention to it...
He completely fell for it.
The appropriate prank back would've been to forward it to the bigwig in question, copying us in, saying that he'd check up on why it wasn't completed yet.
That long (stupid) gay brother story reminded me of the Dallas Cowboys initiation they did to a rookie right before training camp. They take all the rookies out, get them incredibly drunk and slip a roofie into one of their drinks. Carry him back to his hotel rooms and slather icy hot on his assholes. The next morning the rookie would wake up completely out of it and having no idea how they ended up in their room or why their asshole was burning... at camp everyone stuck to the story that they got really drunk and they asked a bouncer to escort him back to the hotel. The best part was that they never told the rookie about the prank, so he basically lived the rest of his life (until someone outed the story) that he got ass raped by a bouncer.
