unintentional practical jokes that become legend

I don't have any, but I am bumping this!

OK maybe that was an intentional practical joke.

My mom is very conservative and I have not brought a boyfriend home to meet the parents. One day I'm driving to visit them and I call and ask her if me and my friend can stay over. She says with a smile "of course, who is it? Sandra, Angie?" I say, "No his name is Jacob. All of a sudden her tone changes into a stern angry "oh!?" "yeah he came with me" I tell her. (Now I hear the panic in her voice) "Did he drive you, when did you two meet?" I tell her very calmly and exited that he's also from around my side of town, I've known him about a month, but you can meet him now we're outside.
Next thing I see, she sends my Dad to meet us out front. He's looking around cautiously "Hi so who's this friend of yours?" I get out of the car with my new puppy Jacob whom I just adopted about a month ago. The relief washes over him so fast he starts to laugh. Meanwhile my mom is still frantically fretting, I enter and show her my dog.
She hits me, she's laughing, and trying to recover from her shock since I almost gave her a heart attack, since I didn't prepare enough time for them to meet a boy. But I knew she would react that way and that's my legendary prank.

ETA Me and Jacob have been together for 2years now and we still crack up at my mom for how she reacted. bwahaha :devil:

One night when I was about 17, I was standing in the kitchen doing dishes. My younger sister who was about 15 at the time thought she would pull a really funny practical joke on me by "pantsing" me (yanking my pants down while I wasn't expecting it). She wanted to get back at me cuz I did it to her the day before and it really ticked her off. I was wearing my pajamas so she figured I'd be an easy target.

What she didn't know was I wasn't wearing underwear.

It was hilarious to see the look on her face when she realized what happened. Her reaction was priceless, I'm sure she's been scarred for life. :laugh: The best part was that I was standing behind the kitchen counter so no one else saw me with my pants down but my sister got a good up-close-and-personal eyeful!! It was the best unintentional practical joke ever! To this day, it remains a legend...

I want to hear some fun stories... and I'll get the ball rolling.

This last Sunday, my hubby brought up one of the things I did to him several years ago that he'll never forget. Apparently I've scarred him for life.

One day while at my in-laws' house, I found some Hershey's dark chocolate nuggets with almonds in the fridge. I took 5-6 of them, and sat down in the recliner in the livingroom to eat them. Now, I don't really care for whole almonds, so I popped these nuggets of dark chocolate in my mouth and let the wonderful dark chocolate ooze on to my tongue until the almonds appeared completely clean. I saved these almonds in my hand, and once I was done with all of the nuggets I got up from the chair.

When I got to the kitchen, with every intention mind you of throwing these almonds in the garbage, I saw my hubby standing there talking to his sisters and parents. I held out the handful of almonds for him to see. He holds out his hand expecting me to give them to him, which I do. Before his nerves have a chance to register that the almonds are slightly damp, he pops the entire handful in his mouth and begins to chew. The facial expression that happens next is a mix between bitter beer face and smelling a nasty rotten egg. He finally swallows, and looks at me and asks why the almonds are soggy. I told him that I had just got done sucking all the chocolate off of them...

His family laughed for a LONG TIME over this, and my hubby has never trusted me to hand him any type of nuts if he didn't see where I got them.

Now, your turn... what funny things have you done or had done to you that has become "legend" among your friends and/or family?

Awesome!!! LOL :laugh:

This was intentional, but legendary.

When I was away at college, my brother was about 8 years old. He always ate Lucky Charms for breakfast. I came home for a weekend and when I got there, no one was home. I was scrounging around for something to eat and found his brand new, UNOPENED box of Lucky Charms. I opened it from the bottom, dumped them into a mixing bowl, ate all the marshmallows, and put the nasty horse food tasting things back in the box and glued the bottom shut again. He got up the next morning, cracks open his new box of Lucky Charms and goes ballistic about how the cereal company ripped him off! Priceless.

That is hilarious!!! Wish I'd thought of that, at least for the chance to eat all the marshmallows!!! :laugh:

I'm not one to wear skirts/dresses when I know alcohol will be involved since I'm rather graceful! :laugh:

So anyway one day I was discussing the matter with another graceful friend of mine who also always complained that the only guys she ever met only wanted one thing. So I told her that maybe part of that was from wearing short skirts/dresses to bars and meeting guys there! Seems logical to me right!?! Well she still didn't get it and wore a short denim skirt to the bar that night.

We had met up with a couple girls we knew (it's a small college town so even if it's not planned you will run into someone you know anyway). Well we had all discussed the same thing with her and she still just didn't get it. She had even accidentally flashed some people her goods getting off of the bar stool to go to the bathroom. Granted she was wearing underwear but still!

So after a couple hours and several drinks later our friends had left but the two of us remained. It was a Monday night so not many people were out anyway. And I don't know what made me do it but I ran up behind her all of a sudden reached up the sides of her skirt and yanked her underwear down to her ankles and ran for the bar! She wound up being so drunk she doesn't remember it first hand but after going back to the same bar and the bartender asking her about it she has yet to wear a skirt/dress to a bar (at least with me) again.

But you know what, she stopped meeting "those" guys too!!

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.

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.
