If it's a stranger's house, I can't see why I would be in there without them and their consent. I am a law abiding citizen and don't advocate breaking into peoples property, that's how you get shot... I wouldn't screw with peoples stuff, friend or enemy. I treat other peoples s**t, like it was my own none sh***y stuff. I also don't have enemies, mostly because I don't hang around dirt bags. If I don't like you, no need to have them in my life and they disappear.

OK but this is 'what if' situation. I wouldn't break into someone's place either but imagining stuff is fun!
Edit: actually I would if someone was chasing me and I had to hide myself quickly.

That's called literal thinking of yours. I wish you could appreciate the inventiveness of those pranks.
Edit: I never advocate for putting talc into a hairdryer.

What if situation was still considered, I clearly stated I wouldn't do it. I fully understood this is a hypothetical situation... I still wouldn't break into someone's property even if chased, I would stand my ground as the law allows.

Install colored light bulbs instead of the usual ones. Or introduce a new species to their aquarium (do it wisely). They will be surprised to see a new pet. Or clean their windows and mirrors, they will not be able to tell what exactly changed and that will drive them nuts. Put a coat of glow in the dark paint on something in their bedroom. Swap their Quran for a BDSM manual in the same cover.
IDK I can't come up with any worthy prank.

^ Me like!



Too expensive to be possible to do, but in a book I recently read, all appliances were swapped with identical ones, leaving the main character to feel that something was wrong without knowing what.

I'd turn the main power off for a few minutes so they'd have to reset all their electronics & clocks & it looks like a power outage so I cant be blamed.

replace all the carpeting in their place with something barely a shade different. replace their car with one that is the same make but a different option level.

While there isn't anything of real monetary value here, there's a lot of the owner's paintings on the wall to look at.
All I have to do is be here overnight so no one breaks in and water the plants.. and if I do mess it up a little bit, there's a cleaning lady that'll be scheduled to come clean it.

I'm not opposed to a little practical joke if anyone suggests anything truly funny. So far the only one I thought might be a candidate was the suggestion to move everything to the left a little, so when they're back they have a hard time getting their bearings in their own home - that one's kinda harmless funny and I could see it driving them a little nuts for a while until they figured it out. Something simple like that miiiight be something I'd do before I leave here.. so, feel free to keep posting suggestions and if there's some harmless bit of fun that seems juuuuust right I might just go ahead and do it before they get back.


Just be very certain that you will be OK with never house sitting for them again. (If someone did anything pranky in my house, however innocuous, they would not be allowed inside the house ever again. It's a trust thing. I could never be sure that the pranky thing I'd found was the only thing they did... would wonder what might be missing, what might eventually happen to my bank accounts or credit card accounts, etc. And no amount of elapsed time would suffice to convince me that all was well.)

if I had lotsa duckie$$$ for the purpose, i'd replace their audio equipment with high-end stuff that was made to look similar to their old equipment, just to see if they could tell the difference.

It's my aunt's house. If I did do anything, it would be appropriately funny & that's it - not mean or destructive. They'd get a laugh out of it & would still welcome me back to watch the place whenever they're out of town and I'm available to make this my temporary home base.

In the mid 90s I got into playing in bands big time. Spent all my time practising, rehearsing and playing all over the country. I only ever listened to music to learn songs and totally lost interest in listening to music for its own sake. I don't gig any more, but I still don't listen to music. I sold all my gear and all my vinyl records... and I dont regret it at all.

For the record (no pun intended), I'm a tenor sax player, but I've also played bass (it's easier to get local gigs) and playing flute at the moment. But I did buy another bass on Friday... so might be playing that a bit more.
