I need a new prank

16846 Views 118 Replies 58 Participants Last post by  Evan1968
Every morning while getting coffee the parking lot is full of work trucks all running. Today I return to my truck to find the 4 ways on, the radio all the way up and the wipers going a mile a minute. It was the tree guy, so I saw his truck at the hardware store on my way home and I got even. The truck was running with A/C on high...so I turned it to heat. Mind you it was hot and sticky today so I am sure he will be tampering tomorrow.

Any good, no damage, pranks for tomorrows revenge?

we mess with the subs and they mess with us so I am looking for new material.

My favorite to date was an enormous magnet inside a lunchbox stuck to an I beam. He damn near ripped the handle off as he grabbed it while walking by.

Dead fish,in a bag,under seat...
This border lines dangerous and unsafe. Put bb's in the valve stems of his tires and the tires will slowly run down. If he is a good driver and aware he will notice this. If not, he could crash or ruin some tires. Plus, it's nice to have on board air for this kind of prank.

Funny for a second maybe :no:. Could ruin half a days work. You did that to me and I'd flatten your tires .....









...but I don't use BB's

A good one is pour flour into the heating vents that face them. Pour loads as well and clean the area, then leave the fan setting on full so that when they turn on the engine the flour will cover them.

You could also do the nail the toolbox to the floor trick. Then watch them try to pick up that box.

A freshly soiled babies diaper tucked neatly under the seat always seems to get them going.
A plastic soda bottle tied to the U-joint of the driveshaft with a short leash makes a hell of a racket.
Dirty up the windshield and put vaseline on the windshield wiper blades. If you have more time, paint a couple of bricks a dark color and use them to "block" the tires just off the ground, not high enough to notice walking by, but high enough that the tires are not touching the ground...

On the jobsite- wratchet strap around the can, especially on a hot day, this is a little brutal- beware of escalation

I did the block trick in high school

Tape a stink bomb somewhere inside the truck....some of my favorite locations:
- The little stop bar for parking brake
- Any door
- Anyplace out of sight that will be struck with any impact

They wind up "doing it" to themselves.




With a few "associates", you could probably hit every truck in the lot in short order :thumbup:

I got it... I have the long tinner zip ties. I think it will sound nice wrapped around the drive shaft.

He has a brand new truck so the vasoline and baby powder trick may be too far. I do like the treats under the seats.

A handful of vaseline under the door handle on the truck is always fun.

That right there is gonna drive him nuts. Make sure it's situated so that it will "tink,tink,tink......." on the sheet metal of the bed for best acoustics.:thumbup:

I did a search and found an old thread, you were in it with those pranks. Good stuff
put an extra large balloon on his tail pipe

a few fresh rolls of crepe paper taped to the top of his rear bumper

or the panic one - run over screaming to the back of his truck with a fire extingusher when he starts it

IF I were to do anything, it would be the "panic" thing, NEVER mess with a mans truck.

as the guy said. " two things I never lend out are my truck and my wife,
my wife's too young, my truck's too old, and I don't want anybody throwing a rod in either one:w00t:

There's this:

But milder amusement is rainbow stickers appropriately placed.

One job site we had a running gag of a bumper sticker.

MyBOSS and I had to go get plans duplicated at a local art supply store and grabbed a handful of free bumper stickers. Don't remember the slogan but it emabarrased most of the guys.

NO ONE was imune. The PM would come from Orlando and SLAP.

Guys in on it(after their vehicles had been "christened" of course) were hitting me up so much I had to make several trips to restock!

Shrink wrap(like from HD) over/under over/under around the cab,

nickles super glued on toll box locks............

This works very well. An electrician did this to my truck a few years ago. They cut it shorter so it would not be noticed the first time you look under the truck.

They sell magnetic paper at Office Depot and Staples, get some and print up some temporary bumper stickers. Gay Pride, I Love Men, are good, but the possibilities are endless
