So I'm in halls at uni, and require pranks to play on my roommates.

Half of my flatmates are currently back home, leaving potential for pranks. The on;y problem is that I can't access their rooms (for good reason). So, what pranks can I pull on them? Help me Dakka, I need you!

The terms: We share a kitchen, and generally all lock our doors. So, how can I prey on their semi-suspicious minds?

Print ponies, place ponies on walls.
OR just post a TON of memes

Pull a drawer out of their dresser, put a dead fish behind it.

Since you only has kitchen access, put X into Y food item in the fridge.

Also ponies.

lots of them

Learn to pick locks, proceed to prank their rooms.

Remember to re-lock doors.

Is there a Gap between their doors and the floor? If so fill their rooms with foam.

Fill the hall with balloons.

Go buy a ton of 2x4 lego bricks and do the following



The last one might not be a prank and more a declaration of war

That LEGO thing is just plain evil.

Fill the fridge with eggs.
Leave for home for a week and claim it had nothing to do with you.

The bricks alone are bad enough.

Switch the salt and the sugar. Did it on April Fools Day to my family, my sister cried for an hour straight. It's not my fault she used to douse her Chex in pounds of sugar.

Also, super glue in their locks, if you wanna be BEYOND evil. I don't see that going well though. Are any of them blonde? Put a dye in their shampoo and turn their hair green, blue, red, whatever.

Go buy some dry wall, it's pretty cheap, then concert over their door in the hallways and presto one prank. If you do it well enough they will really freak out coming home to no room.

Or the age old, cotton balls dipped in chocolate gag. That ones a classic

freeze all their cutlery pencils or shoes or somthing in ice in the freezer

buy an earmore bar, squish it up in your hands like poop,
proceed to wipe it in hilarious fashion.

OMG .... did someone really suggest caltrops lol

Failure to fill out a "ID 10 T" has added "money value" to the rent.

or

Down Load a "Whine" form

These are all pretty harmless. I'm linking it mainly because I could listen to this guy talk all day long. It's like Chekov's bro days from college.

Do not get involved in the so-called buttered floor "prank". You could seriously injure someone with that gak.

1. Acquire a tampon.
2. Smother it with blackberry jam.
3. "Wrap" it with approximately one square of single-ply toilet tissue.
4. Place it on the floor next to roommate's trash can. Or in his clothes hamper. Or let your imagination run wild.
5. Record discovery with hidden video camera.

Chew up a Snicker bar really well. Mold as needed for desire shape. Roommates come home. They freak. You inspect the "poo". Pick it up. Eat it. Predict that it was dropped 48 hours ago. Throw in name of desired person who was responsible you want it to be. Or something to that effect

If they are usually suspicious, then do the smallest amount you can and pretend you did more. Their suspicious imaginations will fill in the blanks and be far worse than anything you can legally devise.
Pranking the paranoid is surprisingly easy.

The power of suggestion is a marvellous tool against these people.

If you knew someone good at painting you could paint smoke effects around the edges of a door and walls and claim that the room burnt out or similar. Place a sign on the door (with appropriate school logo) advising that the room was undergoing renovations.

Assuming they have desktops there, switch the towers. Leave everything else as is. Duct taping a hanger or two to the closet pole is always amusing to watch as well.

Jamming a drawer or drawers in the open position with a pencil is another subtle one.

Of course, you know by doing this you will have begun at the least a pranking tradition for the rest of the year- and most likely a smiling not really friendly cold war. Ponies, or other minor embarrassments seem the order of the day.

Load like ALOT of pron on their computers and change their desktop to really wrong type of porn.
If they are not computer savy, also make their default site certain unsavory websites

Get some medical sample cups, fill with apple juice, put label on saying "do not touch" and leave them in the fridge. About 5 should do it.

Worst prank that I'd heard of was somebody gakking in a pillowcase. The person was so drunk they didn't realise 'til the next day... after they'd slept on it...

Surely some of the ex/current military guys around here have some absolutely foul pranks to tell of?

Get a blowpipe, blow cress seeds under the door.
spray water under there.
They now have a nice healthy crop of cress growing in their carpet.

do you have access to the bathrooms?

If yes, you will need saran wrap. Lift the toilet seat and stretch it over the bowl. Make sure there aren't any visible creases. Works best in low light levels or with sleepy victims. Extra points if victims are female.


In the kitchen, you can pour lemon juice into their milk. It will immediately turn rancid and nasty smelling. Best if there's only a little milk left to avoid the repercussions of destroying their food.

Gaslight one of them. Bonus points if you get everyone on your floor to join in.

(Disclaimer: don't do this unless you want to run the risk of seriously messing someone up)

Well I don't know about absolutely foul, but once i bought some cream filled doughnuts and squeeze-able miracle whip. Empty out the cream, insert miracle whip. Let sit in hot car for a few hours. Serve to unsuspecting victims. Laugh your a$$ off as they simultaneously try to figure out what it is and vomit in a trashcan.

(True Story of the 121st ARW, Columbus Ohio)

I once heard a story from a friend of a friend of a cousin of a nephew of my third uncle removed about something that their brother's sister's mother-in-law's nephew did in the army.

When doing CQB stuff you get fake flashbang sort of stick grenades, think a white stick which you can take the top off of, and then it acts almost like a match. Strike, few seconds, boom. Just noise and smoke. If you can get some back from field (so the story from my friend of a friend of a cousin of a nephew of my third uncle's brother's sister's mother-in-law's nephew goes) you can rig them up so the lid will strike the top when they open their door, meaning that just after they turn their light on (or best case they don't, and instead just go to dump their bags on their floor) kablooey, yelling, surprise, possible pants-wetting. It was a funny story. But you would need to find a way into their rooms...and get training stick grenades...but if you can get that organised it should be funny. At least according to a friend of a friend of a cousin of a nephew of my third uncle.

Step One, buy Cofee.
Step Two, unscrew the shower head
Step Three, Fill the shower's head with cofee
Step Four, Screw back the shower's head
Step Five, Enjoy the smell of a good cup of joe, each time your room mate pass through you in that week.

Though it takes a lot of work, this is my favorite one.

If you know something their afraid of you can always use that. For one example one of my flatmates is afraid of Leonardo DiCaprio so on their birthday we're planning to cover the falt with posters and pictures or him

Do not tamper with people's food. Do not do anything that could get them in trouble with their landlord. Do not violate their ability to feel secure in their home for your own sick pleasure. Do not do anything that has consequences that last longer than their amusement.

In short, do not be a horrible excuse for a human being.
