unintentional practical jokes that become legend

well this isn't really a practical joke, but it really happened and was hilarious. one xmas a few yrs ago my son came home for the holidays. i had all the family here xmas day, the house was full. we had our xmas dinner. now my grandfather who was 87 yrs old at the time was also here. after dinner the guys moved to the livingroom while us women cleared the table and did the dishes.
i scaped all the food left on the dinner plates into a bowl and told the women i was putting this in the fridge for our big outdoor dog....to be given to her the next day. there was leftover mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, turkey, veggies...you know, all the usual.
there were also bones......some of which had been sucked clean by my elderly grandfather.
later in the evening my son decided to go out to a friends place (by the way, my son was about 27 yrs old at the time).
well he had a few too many drinks at his buddys place and got home kinda drunk. i had left a rum and raisin cake on the counter that was untouched cuz everyone was too full after supper for dessert. my son came in around midnite and we were standing in the kitchen talkin when he decided to jump up on the kitchen counter to sit....plopped his *kitten* right into the rum and raisin cake.
now the topping on this cake is syrupy with raisins and walnuts lmao!! all stuck to the back of his butt! now this was funny.....but not as funny as the next morning when my son got up and says to me.....mom, why did you mix all the potatoes, stuffing, turkey veggies etc all in the same bowl? its was all mushy.......and by the way, you forgot to take the bones out. i said.....well thats the dog's treat for today. he said....WHAT? i said yeah, its all the scraps i scraped off the supper dishes....why? he said OMG....i ate it. all of it! i was laughin so hard at the look on his face i was crying! and when i told him about the bones in there that grandpa sucked clean....i thought he was gonna get sick right there!

When i was a lot younger, my cousin and i decided to play a trick on her brother at easter. We each had a big cadburys buttons easter egg. she and I had eaten her, his was still sitting in the living room winking at us.

We opened the box from the bottom and carefully unwrapped the foil. Managed to split the gg open without it breaking and took out the pack of chocolate buttons in the middle. Put the egg back together, wrapped it up in the foil and slid it back into the box.

We waited for days to see him open that egg and the look on his face when he saw there were no buttons in the middle was absolutely priceless! We rolled around laughing for ages.

The joke was on us though. He wrote a letter to Cadburys moaning about how he'd been gypped out of his chocolate buttons and they sent him a replacement easter egg (with buttons) and a £5 voucher to buy more cadburys products.

We've never owned up to stealing his buttons.

Sitting with my friends at lunch, junior year. I was bored, so I was rolling up pieces of paper into little balls and trying to throw them into my friends' shirts. As one of my friends is taking a drink, I manage to throw one into his shirt. He pulls his collar away so he can look into his shirt and see where it went. As he's doing this, one of the girls that sits farther down the table walks by, and I said something loud enough for my friends to hear, but not loud enough for her to hear, all my friends start laughing. Then I hear "Dammit Tom!" My friend who was looking into his shirt had also burst out laughing. While he still had his face looking into his shirt. And Kool-Aid in his mouth.

This is a story about my cousin and my brother....who both have the same initial of their first name and the same surname.

My cousin (in his final year of high school) streaked naked at a girls' athletics carnival. Sadly, he did actually get caught and was briefly suspended before graduation. When it came to school assembly, the principal would usually name and shame the students who were to attend detention that afternoon. So, remembering that both my brother and cousin have the same surname and same initial of first name....my brother went to the detention as well.

The streaking was so legendary....that people still talk about my 'brother's' legendary act.

This was intentional:

I work in a video store, and we used to have a section called "staff favourites" where we could put our movie preferences next to our names and recommend them to customers. There is a guy still work with who takes his taste in film pretty seriously, and as a joke, me and one other guy started putting weird things in his favourites section (things like Anne of Green Gables and maybe a couple of pornos).

He started getting really paranoid that someone was changing his staff favourites because it made him look bad, so I asked him if he had any run-ins with customers lately. I pretty much made him believe that a customer had it out for him and was changing his favourites as revenge!

One day, he was working a shift after me so I put some funny titles in his favourites section. The minute he walked through the door, he looked over and said "that lowlife pathetic c**t has changed my staff favourites again!" :laugh:

It took all my self control not to burst out laughing then and there! I eventually told him it was me, it's still something that we laugh about today.

My bedroom was a sleep out that was detached from the main house. During the night my boyfriend wanted a drink of water. I couldn't be bothered going into the house so I scooped it out of my nieces paddling pool. It looked clean enough but you never can tell with little kids. Boyfriend wasn't too happy when I told him the next day. He repaid the favour a few weeks later with water for me from a vase of flowers. Noice!
