Does anyone like pranks?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm always coming up with pranks, but never actually do them.

Here are my latest two. Both involve people with home wireless routers that are not secure.

1) Log onto wireless routers and change the id it broadcasts to something annoying. For example, instead of "linksys", change it to "Hot Anal Sex" or "Witness Protection Program". Set a new password while at it. I'm sure that others have been doing this for years, particularly in college towns.

2) Set up a DNS server that does everything okay except that when resolving Google addresses, it resolves to the corresponding Google page for a different country. For example, provide addresses for the Hungarian version of Google to people looking for the US version. Then log onto unsecured routers and set the server it passes out by DHCP to be your DNS server.

Better yet would be to provide the correct addresses on all but April 1. The victims of the prank would be likely to blame Google for it thinking that it is a Google April Fools joke.

Any other good pranks that we won't actually do?

I don't have enough of a sense of humor to be able to be on the receiving end of a prank and not get pissed off by it.

I've had some fairly decent pranks played on me over time. I sometimes get a bigger kick out of them than the people who pulled them.

If you can't laugh at yourself, you have no business laughing at anyone else.

I love a good prank, though I'm hardly successful at devising any that are funny to the prankee as well. I really could have seriously f-ed some people up without meaning to

My 1st husband was a prankster, but he knew better than to try them on me. Some of his classics were:

He put the music-playing doohickey from a Christmas card that played Jingle Bells in the refrigerator at work, and it played whenever anybody opened the door.

He put a quarter on the floor outside a closet when his co-worker went out to smoke, hid in the closet, then jumped him when he bent down to pick up the quarter.

Hid a scary devil mask in the microwave, tried to lure the same co-worker into the breakroom by telling him there was porn on the in-house cable, but the guy was wise to him and never did look in the microwave. He for got about the mask being in there and my boss found it (she's very religious and easily startled ).

i looove pranks, i used to pull a prank a day until i was 15. lol. got into a hole pile of crap for the pranks. lol.

I love watching them on Youtube! I dislike doing them though. Some channels on YT I love - Ed Bassmaster, Jack Vale, Improv Everywhere, A few others I forgot that I'm subscribed to.
