Harmless Pranks To Play On Friends


Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about various harmless pranks that people can play on friends. It's always fun to keep those friends on their toes.

Text - phormix • 2h Grab a couple photos from around their house and snap a good well-centered picture with your phone. Then photoshop something fun into the background, such as a dinosaur, bigfoot, elvis, or even just add yourself to a bunch of their photots. Reprint the new version of the picture in the same dimensions. Next time you're around, slip it into the frame over top the original. So long as you don't damage the original, it can be a fun game of "see how long until they notice" Reply

Text - SeeYouOn16 • 3h Back in college I went to Vegas, while I was there I collected hundreds of those cards they hand out on the strip for call girls/escorts. When I got home I put these cards everywhere in my roommates car. I put most of them on the seats and the floors, but I also hid them in the trunk, under the floor mats, under the seats, in the glove box, in the gas lid, basically every nook I could think of. He thought the initial cleaning up of the ones on the seats and floors was the

Text - schnit123 • 3h 1 Award If you're in a position to do it: make them a celebrity for a day. When I was a grad student we did this to one of our professors. About a dozen of us coordinated to offer our students in Freshman composition extra credit if they went up to one of our professors and pretended he was a celebrity and ask for his autograph, get a picture taken with him, etc. We made sure to give them all his schedule for the day, let him know where his office was and just let them loos

Text - DietrichBuxtehude • 4h 3 Awards Steal something innocuous, like a pair of distinct socks from their dresser. Mail it to your most remote acquaintance. Have your acquaintance mail it back to your friend without explanation. Ultimately harmless, but their confusion after receiving something of their own in the mail from someone they've never met from a place they've never been is delicious. Reply 17.5k ...

Text - therealimperialbeats • 4h 3 Awards If they spend time on their computer, download the Nick Cage Chrome extension. It replaces every picture with one of Nick Cage. That's it. Pulled this one on my mom one time, and she thought we got hacked for a little bit. I had totally forgot that I did that. Edit: Thanks for the upvotes, and I am now aware of multiple extensions that achieve the same effect, such as: 1.) One that rick rolls people at random YouTube videos. 2.) The one that changes "clo

Text - PReasy319 · 2h 1 Award I plugged a wireless mouse into a coworker's computer. My cubicle was 40 ft away but from my desk I could see his monitor, so I slooooowly moved the cursor to the right while he was trying to use it. Then sloo0oowly to the left. I clicked on random things. I stopped and started randomly. I stopped every time he tried to show anybody else, even though they were all in on the prank. At one point while he was working on some papers and not looking at his screen, I open

Text - Bigeyethresher• 3h when I was a kid, I would put tape upside down on people's chairs, and laugh when they sat on it. Eventually, they caught on that I was sticking tape to them, and would check for it when I started laughing at them. THEN I stopped putting the tape there, but kept laughing like I did. They'd look for it and couldn't find it. Shorter, more recent one that was well-received was writing a bunch of dated fake diary entries and hiding them places I knew they could find them. T

Text - crc2993 • 3h When I was in college, had a guy in our dorm who used to always obsess over how many likes his post got on Facebook. Once he left his laptop open and we set his post settings from "everyone" to "only me" without him realizing so nobody could see his posts. Went for a solid week before he realized why nothing he posted was getting any likes Reply 3.1k ...

Text - EndoShota • 4h 1 Award A friend of mine sent unmarked postcards featuring different chimpanzees* to me about once a week for more than a year. They all had the same message: "Having a great time, wish you were here. -Love, Me." They all misspelled my name in different ways. They came from all over the world; she'd coordinated with a bunch of people she knew internationally. It got to the point where I saw my letter carrier, and he'd shake his head and ask, "Another one?" I never figured o

Text - ribotastic • 3h Every few weeks I turn down the speed of my co- workers bending machine by like 0.1 mm/sec. He noticed, that his machine takes longer than mine, but 1st, he doesn't know how to turn it back, 2nd, he doesn't know it's me, and 3rd, he doesn't know that it will get worse. Reply 1.5k ...

Text - The-Tree-Dude • 2h I have always wanted to take an empty mayonnaise jar that has been throughly cleaned, put the label back on, and fill it with vanilla pudding. Then I would go.out to a public place like a park or something and sit and eat the pudding out of the jar. It would be hilarious to do that in front of a friend if they were gullible enough to actually believe you would eat mayonnaise out of the jar like that. Reply 111 ...

I worked at a car dealership, told my buddy bring his cousin over before he goes to work, when he did I told them I arranged for a test drive of a Murcielago, but his cousin would pull up to work driving it and l'd turn up as the mechanic come to collect the it. He was skeptical at first but we c

He always had the pool heated to around 80-90 farenheight(The electricity bill in the winter was insane), and he got mad if anyone messed with the pool heater. One year, he had a business trip to Europe and consequently got home really late the night of march 31st. My mom came up with the idea to buy a bunch of ice, and then dump it in the pool after m

Text - Dredly • 3h Signing them up for random shit online can be pretty amusing when they start getting all kinds of flyers and magazines for shit they don't know anything about. Even better if they aren't addressed to them directly... but close, change the name from Tom to Dom kind of things. Order random super cheap stuff on Amazon and send it to them with gift receipt or other random 'Free shipping" places so they have no idea who is sending them stuff.. can also send OTHER people stuff from

Text - Mekato90 • 2h The "I can make you taste salt" trick Basically pretend your going to play a mind game with them and make them taste salt. What you do is pretend to hold a salt shaker then tell them to take the salt shaker from you and shake the salt into their tongue. You have to tell them to shut their eyes and think of salt. Know let's test this : Shut your eyes imagine your holding a salt shaker,now stick out your tongue and shake the "salt" onto it. How did the salt taste? Reply 10 ...
