    I need your help. :confused:

    I have a father who is relentless. He is a born messer and likes to pull pranks, and generally embarass me and anybody else he comes across.

    Last January I turned 20, My Dad brought the family out for dinner in order to celebrate. Dinner was going fine, we were having a laugh, the service was a bit ****ty but I was trying not to complain. The final straw came when my whole family were served thier desert, and they 'forgot' mine. So naturally I was sitting there muttering under my breath, when out of the corner of my eye I saw it. The waiter carrying my desert with giant candles and sparklers. I was made stand up on my chair in front of the entire restaraunt while they sang happy birthday to me. One of theeeeeee most embarassing moments of my life, and as I squirmed with embarrasment, my Dad laughed through the whole entire thing. He had had set me up. At this point I vowed to myself that I had to retaliate, to get him really bad.

    I have been pondering a way since then to get him back, One of my main ideas was to hang a sign on the back of his van with his phone number on it say "Big Boy, looking for a good time, MEN ONLY 087 - blah blah blah". But he would definitley notice that before he started driving, and its hazardous, if the sign was to blow off while he was driving.

    I have found a sticker, a quite large one that says PLAYBOY PLAY MATE ON BOARD". It's pink and big and really would embarrass him, especially if the lads in work saw it as he is always ripping into them(He's the foreman on a building site)

    Any other ideas?? As soon as I start this I'm positive this is going to start a war!!!! :)

    I was actually doing some googling this morning on pranks, talking to the girl who sits beside me in work. We found some funny ones, and we decided to try them out on a guy from work, you may know him as Jaggeh as he posts here also!

    So as childish as it was, while he was away from his desk i changed they keys on his keyboard around to say "Mat is gay" . It took him a few mins to cop on. Reaction was priceless. :D

    Fun.

    You can have flowers sent to his work from "Terri" or some ambiguous name? Or have some guy to keep ringing his job when he's not there? "Hi this is Dad's friend Paolo again. Is he there now?"
    Or pretend your'e preggers and watch him blow his top :p

    Mind, you could turn it into a prank feud if you go OTT.

    I've also been made to stand up in a restaurant while everyone is singing. Damn embarrassing :o

    pregnant? PREGNANT!!! MOTHER OF GOD! I dont think he would find that funny. He'd probably have a heart attack. literally.

    Keep your bonny hair on, lass. Only trying to help here.

    Do you have an extra set of keys to his car? If so whenever you can go out and re-park his car 10 yards up the road, in the next space or just park it badly. He will go mad after a while "I was sure I parked properly".

    good ideas but I can barely drive a car and he drives a transit van :(

    Will try this on Wendy from work though :D

    If you live in a two story house or (apartment better) get a long sheet of plastic and hang it down so it covers the window on the down stairs. Your father will probably go taking it in the window it is obstructing. Watch from upstairs as he does throw a bucket of water onto the plastic it will follow it down the sheet of plastic and hit him straight into the face and he will be drenched. :D

    See my list which I built up off the internet after some few bored hours about two years ago.

    Put an ad for his van in the Buy n Sell, giving his mobile number. Light hearted enough but it's sure to pi$$ him right off.

    The Classic "put cling film over the toilet bowl"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 385 ✭✭radioman


    A funny variation is on the 'Buy and Sell' theme is to put his number in advertising turkeys for sale or something zany. The phone calls alone will pee him off!

    You should pimp his ride. :D Big flames up the side of the van.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,248 ✭✭✭Plug


    Put his name on adultfriendfinder.com saying he is gay and wants to meet an irish man:D I,m sure they,re would be plenty of people ringing him!

    If you're doing the buy and sell thing it has to be intricate - selling unwanted concert tickets, like oxygen tickets gotten as a present. no idea of real value. will sell all 4 for 100. Work nights so ring after 10 only and speak up as i'm slightly deaf. also persistent callers will be rewarded etc... ok not much good but you get the drift

    Sellotape an A4 sheet to the back of his van saying:

    "ALL COPS ARE PIGS"

    or

    "I'M A GAY PORNSTAR"

    Change the ringtone on his mobile to something real embarrassing.....

    Or put some embarrassing sign on the roof of his van.... more than likely the lads on the building site will see it from a height. Pink ribbons on the roof-rack, or the like.

    Maybe sabotage his hardhat.... put something in it to mess up his hair.... here's a good plan.... get kiddies sparkle dust... you know the cheap sparkly stuff.... and lightly dust the inside of his hardhat.
    Even a small amount is subtle enough to be visible, with a satisfying delay in realising it :-)

    Alternatively, sprinkle sparkle dust on the bathroom towel he would use that morning....

    regards,
    Owen

    All beautiful ideas. I am definitley going to put the sign on top of his van. Gonna be scary getting up there though. I will take photographic evidence.

    If he buys a new pair of shoes or something - get the receipt and bring them back and change them for a pair 2 sizes smaller - he'll be like what the fook - then when he changes them again, repeat the process! :D

    Order a portakabin loo to the house and a skip and order it in his name !! :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,377 ✭✭✭Curran


    Or......... if you can get your hands on his keys to the van and if its possible to climb out from the drivers seat into the back of the van and out the back door this would be good. And also if there are strong handles on the door

    Get some rope and tie the handles of of the drivers door and the passengers door together in a loop so when he opens the van when hes going to work the door wont open - he'll be so confused - he'll have to climb in thru the back door to get the doors open. Make sure you tie it very tight so the door wont budge when he goes to open it !!!
