FlyingJ 0 #1 November 16, 2004 I just did this recently and was amazed that nobody else that was there had ever seen it done. Care to play a trick on someone, or maybe get even? Just take a rubberband and wrap it around the sprayer at the kitchen sink. You know, the little black sprayer on a hose that you use to wash dishes? Wrap the rubberband around the trigger and when the unsuspecting victim turns on the faucet they get a shower! We did this constantly as kids, and our parents used to try and get us back but usually get themselves again. (as a side note - keep in mind that it's probably funnier after dinner or on a weekend than first thing in the morning when you get someone on their way to work. The image of my dad in a soaking wet suit standing over my bed and trying not to scream is one that I will never forget)Killing threads since 2004.

Shotgun 1 #4 November 16, 2004 Thanks for the idea... Never heard of it or thought of it, but now I'm gonna see if I can get Richard (my husband)... He mostly works at home, so it will be funny at any time of the day! But of course, I'm such a dork that I'll probably end up getting myself instead!

FlyingJ 0 #7 November 16, 2004 QuoteI'm such a dork that I'll probably end up getting myself instead! Yeah, I've done that more than a handful of times. The best is when you get someone, and they think "ha ha, I'm just going to leave this on here so I can get them back" and then they go and get themselves again, usually right after changing into new clothes. I lost the battle earlier this summer. My grandparents were visiting my parents. I put the rubberband on there and got my grandfather. He played it very cool, but about an hour later walked into the living room with a glass of water. We talked for about 5 minutes and I couldn't understand why he was standing there talking instead of sitting down...until the glass of water ended up over my head. Killing threads since 2004.

Unstable 8 #9 November 16, 2004 Quotei dont get how this works. i've heard of it before, but???? Short-Sheeting a bed is a true art form one must master in their youth. I grew out of it when I was like 6. Here is how it works... You tuck the top sheet under the head of the bed very taught just as if it were the sheet covering the mattress. you fold it in half and make it look as if the bottom is actually the top sheet. The result - a person tries to get in bed, they get their feet in about 2 feet, and they get stuck. It's pretty funny when your little. I Wish I could draw you a picture or something - I can't do a whole lot better than "top sheet" and "bottom sheet"=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyinNover 0 #14 November 17, 2004 I've seen this done, which takes the prank one disgusting step further......... (of course I never did this myself), but here you go: 1: Flip up both lids of a toilet. 2: Place Saran Wrap *very* tightly over the toilet opening. 3: Wait a few minutes/hours/days, and then try your best to pretend you have no idea what they're talking about. From experience, it's less disgusting and more funny if you do this in a place where a) it's mostly guys using the bathroom and b) it's number 1 they're doing, not 2. ---Nover Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You feed it food scraps and it eats it, it keeps bugs from trying to infest your garbage and keeps your garbage from getting stinky, since the food stuffs are going down the drain. And the added benefit is those scraps are eventually processed and released back into the environment, instead of being sealed into a landfill for generations. Organic waste, to me, should never go in the garbage. Mulch, compost, or down the drain/flush means it gets recycled. It's your life, live it!

Shotgun 1 #20 November 17, 2004 Well, just as I predicted, I am a complete idiot... Yep, I ended up getting myself. I put the rubberband on the sprayer last night, but Rich never used the kitchen sink. When I first went into the kitchen this morning, I remembered it and was careful not to spray myself... But then, about an hour later I went back to wash some dishes and had completely forgotten about it at this point... So I turn the water on and of course end up getting a nice little cold shower. And to make things worse, Rich walks in right after I turned the water off, and I am standing there soaked and laughing with a guilty look on my face. Then he asks me what I'm doing as he comes over to look at the sink, sees the rubber band on the sprayer and says, "So, what's this???"... So now I am totally busted and have to confess the whole thing. Anyhow, I probably shouldn't be admitting this on here (now you all know just how stupid I am)... but it was pretty freakin' funny.

FlyingJ 0 #21 November 17, 2004 Nope, nothing stupid about it. All part of the game. I've probably "gotten" myself a dozen times. When it starts to suck is when you do it but leave it on there to try and get someone, go change clothes, forget and get yourself again. My record was three times in one day without ever getting the intended target. Killing threads since 2004. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #22 November 17, 2004 The bad thing is that now Rich will probably get me back somehow even though I didn't actually get him in the first place. All he had to say about it was, "Don't start a war that you can't win." And it looks like I've already shot myself in the foot before the war even started.
