What are some of your favorite tricks you like to pull on people?

Me, I like to hand people things they don't need so that they have to deal with the thing that I handed them.

I also like centering somebody out in public by saying that he/she did a killer R2D2 impersonation just the other day. Because this is a pretty rare thing, everybody will ask this person to do his/her impersonation, and of course they will claim that they can't do one. This is when you insist that he/she did one the other day, and they are only being modest. You should guilt them into doing their non-existent impersonation because it is rude to keep this from friends.

Then, they will be forced to do an R2D2 impersonation and it will suck.

When people leave their computer unlocked at work, I send love poems.

Addressed from who? Other co-workers? Celebrities? Management? Cleaning staff? Anonymous? From a MacNN member? From you?

I like to put a dead chicken in a big jar of milk. Cap it, put it out in the sun for a while, place jar inside your target's home air vent. After a short while, the decomposing chicken and curdled milk will produce enough gases to pop the lid. Wait until target freaks out over the horrible smell. Laugh. Win.

besson3c · Jun 13, 2007, 08:58 PM

So far I think my R2D2 trick is the best.

No offense guys, but crapping in a sink... pffttt, that old chestnut. Pushing people out of chairs? Hell, I pushed 4 people out of chairs today alone...

I send love poems from the account of the logged-in user.

My best trick was convincing someone that I was really a mailbox.... that took a bit of doing.

Yeah, and I warned your ass too... Was it really worth it to have your ass warned?

besson3c · Jun 13, 2007, 09:39 PM

I also used to like stealing pills from old people.

Captain Obvious · Jun 13, 2007, 09:42 PM

I stand next to bike lanes with a can of pepper spray behind my back and spray riders as they go by. The best is when you get a kid on a trike, they get all confused and ride into traffic.

I find it pretty humorous.

You'll have to ask my ass.

Doofy · Jun 13, 2007, 09:48 PM

My favourite trick is ~~killing~~ punching people who play practical jokes on me. Y'know, since they're retards with a severe lack of wit and deserve to be ~~killed~~ punched.

Tiresias · Jun 14, 2007, 12:24 AM

I got one.

Our student flat had a large tub of margarine in the freezer. It was for communal use. Someone (an unhappy roommate who'd been kicked out for not paying rent) secretly scooped out half of the margarine and put it to one side. He then shat in the tub, and carefully packed the scooped out margarine back into the tub, concealing the buried log. Everyone continued to butter their toast with that margarine, until finally, after many weeks of usage, they reached the brown surprise. By that time, the prankster was far, far away, laughing his ass off.

Reminded me of this: YouTube - big daddy clips seconds 0:40 - 1:05, then 1:36 - 2:04

I like to trick people into believing that I am intelligent.

Doesn't always work...

My fave trick is to log in as analogika, besson3c and ---eric---. I then have an argument between all my alter egos just so I can increase my post count. I'm working hard to beat Kevin's records.

Pure lunacy!!

Paying with cash is your best option for not loosing money on those "free checking" accounts.

You're a broken record.

And btw, I meant your special friend, the one who likes to call you by your old self-chosen nickname starting with a K, about which you get upset like a little girl.

Why don't you look at the post one above his? See, that's me.

Here's what I believe: You took a beef from another thread in here with you to quote turtle. So I guess you're the better one at doing the ca$h impression.

You don't think he posted that first post here about ca$h as trolling? If not, it sure is a great coincidence that he posted right after me.

If he tells me did not intend that post as trolling, then I will apologize for calling him a cyberstalker.

Misuse of Chronitons is a bannable offense.

Even if he did, is this some kind of justification for what you did in return?

Best trick -- quite a few years ago, I got an accomplice to take a Snap-n-Pop into the ladies' room and place it between the toilet bowl and one of the feet of the toilet seat.

Yes, it happened 10 years from now. It's all very confusing.
