Help me think of a prank

Pranks. I need them. Gotta get back at some friends of ours.

Criteria: No TPing, no trees to do it to, and something that won't have lasting damage or monetary damage other than cleaning supplies. But it has to be really really berkeleying annoying. Keep in mind though, we are friends with them.

My only idea so far is to fill their hubcaps with dead fish. No lasting damage, but it will take them forever to figure out what is wrong.
My other idea was to let all the air out of their tires. They'd realize that they can't drive on them, but I'd feel bad knowing that they wouldn't know what to do and would pay a lot to get a tow. So that is out.

I need idea's folks, help me out here!

That is an excellent idea! The fish, that is. Flat tires, no.

If the cars are RWD a long tie-wrap around the drive shaft without trimming the extra material will make quite a racket under the car,and not damage anything that I can think of. Either that or gravel or fish in the hubcaps if they have them which is rare on cars today.

Tell your friends there's an indy car race on, (Live!), at midnight on the East Coast! Oh, wait, that's what I'm watching...

One of them does have hubcaps (or wheel covers at least) and neither have rear wheel drive. But I like the idea.

This takes some time, but will drive them a bit nuts, and it's been done.... A former co-worker bought a new VW, showed it off bragged about the mileage, usual new car stuff. Well, we started adding fuel to it while he was working. We got it up to 60 mpg. Still under warranty, he brought it to the dealer. No problems. After a week of 40 to 60 mpg, we did the opposite. Got it down to 9mpg, back up to 18, then to 25 for a week, then back to about 16. Drove him absolutely nuts. We questioned his math, figures, competence--and he was an automotive engineer. There was no retaliation, after we told him. I think he though we would have air-lifted his car on to the roof of the building.....he did have a great sense of humor, otherwise we never would have done it .

Rewire the horn to the brake lights....

We put 2 cardboard cutouts of police officers outside their garage door. Door went up, check the rear view and see that you are being drawn down on.

Build an aluminum can wall between the front door and the screen door. Or a clear packing tape wall...sticky side in.

Send a little girl carrying a leash to the front door.."Your snake ate my puppy and went under your house!!" She must quickly disappear and only talk to one housemember.

A two year subscription to the alternative lifestyle publiication of your choice. If you pay for it they are almost impossible to stop. A high school teacher I had was getting Black Inches delivered to the school no matter how many calls he made, and one of my former bosses should be getting Noodle in to the next century.

If you know someone with a tow truck accidently repo-ing there car can be great fun too. I have more, most lead to iolence though.

Don't prank people's cars, man... Not cool. If somebody pranked my car I'd be pretty upset, even if it were "harmless." Just knowing they messed with it would take a good deal of trust that I had for that person away.

Now that said, the cardboard cops = genius, but you gotta make sure they don't see it from the wrong angle first. Maybe when they're sleeping put them up all around the windows of the house so they're peeking in like gnomes. If I woke up with Officer Moustache staring into my bedroom I'd probably crap the bed.

Yes back in an apt with assigned parking we had someone who always parked in our spot. I wanted to flatten their tires but then they would never leave the spot.
The answer was WD-40 sprayed directly onto the windshield.
The driver can not see clearly so they hit the washer and this only further smears the whole thing.
The answer is a lot of paper towels and I think rubbing alcohol.

Or, add wheel weights and take off wheel weights. But, again, generally unsafe.

I think someone else posted a pic of this on here, but completely cover their car in aluminum foil.

-Crickets under the seat.

• Vaseline under the door handle.

• Oreo the car.

-Fill the car/room with balloons.

-Clear gelatin in the toilet.

-Boullion cube in the shower head.

-Crushed up life savers in the shower head.

-Vinegar or salt/pepper in his favorite beverage.

-Big business magnet from something embarassing on the passenger door only.

Hmmmmm, interesting formatting results from simply hitting enter twice to get line spacing.

At work we had access to rolls of that clear plastic pallet wrap. We completely wrapped a co-workers company Chevy Astro.

"accidental" repoing can get you shot. Especially if cars are paid for. Looks like someone stealing the car.

I like the gelatin in the toilet bowl. Or maybe the little tube under the toilet tank cover pointed out so it hoses them down when they flush.

Years ago when I was a kid my family had another couple of families we and they pranked. We or they would hand the ugliest framed tapestry of a peacock on a pink background you have ever seen inside the house. maybe over the master bedroom bed, or the sofa, or maybe in the den, just wherever. This went on for years. It even followed the families from the Middle East to New York City to Marietta Georgia. I think that one of the other families still has it. This all started in the early 70's and went thru the early 90's as we kids grew up and moved out on our own.

Thanks for awakening some fond memories.

Since they sound like good friends, gotta tread lightly on this one. A chicken bullion cube in the shower head is probably the least offensive, would be short-lived, and no damage. Just a craving for KFC. And their dog (if they have one) paying them lots of attention...

I still like the mileage idea, but, lots of cars (most) have interior-opening-only gas flap releases.

And wait a while, couple of months before you do anything. Their gaurd will be down, they will have forgotten how they got you...Enjoy

Forgot this one. Rubber band the kitchen sink sprayer "on". Aim it where they will stand when turning on the faucet. The same thing can sometimes be done with a removable shower head.

Some roommates of mine nabbed my keys while I was asleep (okay, passed out) and stuffed my car completely full of crumpled-up newspaper. My car smelled like newsprint for weeks.

There's instructions on how to build one on the internet, if you're cheap.

Pranks me and my friends have pulled on each other. Put clear plastic wrap over the toilet or shower head. Vaseline on the toilet handle. Color tampons with the right color red food coloring and cover room. Steal boxers and cover girlfriends room. Cover room with worst imagines you can find on the internet. Fiberglass in the bed sheets. Get that coconut flavor stuff used in mixed drinks and filled condom and hang from door knob or put in bed. Windpaint+cars.

I like the idea of the Annoy-a-tron. I have mayhem to inuce with that!

A roommate stocked my bedroom with "How to live with Herpes" pamphlets, female condoms, girls panties under the pillow, etc... This was all conveniently done while I was out on a date where I ended up bringing the girl home and hanging out in my bedroom.

You have to know your victim. A friend and her brother bought identical cars, same color and all but one was two door and one was four door. Had her's towed while she was visiting her mom and both cars were there. Prank became even funnier when Repo Depot came and took the deadbeat brother's car half an hour later with a very similar truck. I needed dry shorts when I was done laughing.

If you have access to a set of the car dollies that have built-in jacks, you can spin a car around almost in its parking place. ...so I'm told.

This works best when it's cool weather: put a box of live crickets under the seat. They go sorta dormant when it's cold, once the heater warms up the car boing boing boing... You can also wire a container of anchovies to the exhaust. Talk about a stink!

The crickets will stink too.
