Pranks and childish things you do to your other half/kids

[ThunderOnlyHappens]

I deliberately cut DHs sandwiches into very small parts, (think 16 very small squares), as it amuses me watching him eat this. He pretends it's no different but I think it's hilarious.

I hide behind doors, under duvets and down the side of the bed in the dark and will wait, sometimes for ages, until DH thinks I'm asleep, and then when he creeps into the bedroom not to wake me I scare the shite out of him!

Please tell me I'm not the only one...

How old are you

Oh fgs, should I have put that this is a lighthearted thread at the top or can't you work it out for yourself!

Once played hide and seek in the dark with exh. I hid on the window sill behind the curtains and after he had given up and gone to bed I jumped on him.
I really thought he was a gonner..
We all flick hair bobbles at each other - and balance shoes on the top of doors!!

Yeah, fuck you Thunder and your needless joy! 

I do OP, all the time.

Personal favourite is putting ham in DHs back pocket during a kitchen hug and watching the menagerie we live with follow him around attacking his legs and meowing at him

balance shoes on the top of doors!! April I need to do this.

OH and I (27 and 29 respectively, not that it matters!) Often hide behind doors when the other is coming into the room. Flick cold water over each other while they're in the bath.

Oh it stole my smiley, so now looks like I was actually saying fuck you.

Promise there was a sarcastic smiley in that first message

When he yawns....I poke him in the mouth!

You sound like a barrel of laughs
continually

I changed the auto correct on DH phone to insert “my wife is a goddess” every time he typed “united” “mouriniho” or “glazers” (which is all he talks about on text and various web forums) I was crying laughing at him trying to work out what was going on.

Ah the boo game. Hiding behind doors and jumping out. I can still get them at 22.

When I hear DS getting up and going into the bathroom, I sit on the little landing at the top of the stairs so I'm well below his eye-level when he comes out and shout 'Morning!' to make him jump. I've been doing this off and on for years and it still gets him every time.

When DH came downstairs this morning there was a carefully positioned, very lifelike rubber rat looking round the living room door at him. He didn't notice, so it will be waiting for him somewhere else when he comes home from work. A few months back, DS and I put it on an RC car with its tail sticking out from behind some clothes that were over the hall radiator. We both shouted 'There's a rat in the hall!', DH came running and saw the tail, and then DS made the car move. DH screamed like a little girl

He got me back last summer though. We had rare child-free a night in a vair posh but slightly creepy hotel. He waited until I was in the bathroom and then hid under the bed. I came out, looked for him and assumed he'd gone to get something from the car, so I just pottered around unpacking. He waited a good five minutes and then grabbed my ankle as I walked past the bed. I swear I nearly died.

(We are both highly qualified academics in our 40s.... )

Yes, the jumping out thing is popular in our house. My girlfriend is the biggest culprit and SD8 loves it - we obviously go a bit easier on SD4 but loves it when she gets the 'sssssh' finger to warn her to be quiet because she knows what's coming and thinks it's hilarious.

My girlfriend once hid in the car in the driveway, in the dark for 15 minutes when she knew I was coming home from a night out, just so she could jump out screaming and scare the absolute out of me. It worked. And she filmed it.

(the girl's were with their dad that weekend for anyone suddenly picturing gross parental negligence while she hid outside.)

@catsinstrangeplaces I got the sarcasm, don't worry! 

I sneak into the bathroom when dp is in the bath and when's he's under the water I lean over bath and put my face just above his so that when he come back up the first thing he see in my face usually with a Halloween mask on

Also will stand at the front door with Halloween masks on and jump out when he's coming in from work have started encouraging ds to do this too 😂😂

Omgineedanamechange you are an evil genius.

My ds about 20 once hid under my bed - jumped out as I got into bed!! Glad I wear pj's!!
Bet he was too!!

My DH likes to make himself eggs on toast when he gets up on a Sunday morning when he's still half-asleep.

I have a very realistic rubber egg.... you can guess how much fun this was to watch!

I'm going to wait a couple of months and do it again 

Hmm, my emojis not working either!

Testing: 

Oh dear.

Continually

I'm with you. Sounds awful. Sorry!



Just done the latest update and still no emojis, how about you @catsinstrangeplaces?

We regularly wait behind doors or corners and jump out with a "RAAAAR!" To scare whoever goes by in our house. It's so much fun even the farms got in on it. She waits and leaps out with a starfish leap and slaps your legs with her paws.

I make my kids jump all the time. And video it! Great fun.

I am going to shamelessly steal the shoe thing.

I also enjoy hiding stuff they leave lying around.

Mrs Rock not a fan of the scaring.

I like to shout "catch me" as I run from wherever I am and throw myself on DH like the Dirty Dancing lift. He loves it.

My absolute best day ever was when I waited for him to doze off on the sofa, got a knife from the kitchen and went out the front with it and tapped quietly on the window whilst wearing a mask (we have a long drive, so it's not like I'm roaming the Midlands with weaponry and likely to be arrested). He genuinely looked like he was going to soil himself and it was so funny I actually peed a little.

The DC are too young to really enjoy ruining lives yet but DS1 (13) is a master of stealth and is amazing at the Cato game; he has keys to the house now and occasionally after school if he's back before me he'll hide somewhere ridiculous like the airing cupboard and have me going mad with cat sounds or scratching before leaping out and terrorising me.

Also, we have a Halloween skeleton called Sebastian who comes to visit when we dig out the decorations. We take it in turns to leave Sebastian outside people's bedrooms and in the passenger seat in cars. He's such a lovely part of our family that we drove to Legoland last Halloween with him in the car and the DC were waving at folk behind us with him.

I don't get to jump out in my kids, from a young age my ds would burst into tears and be inconsolable if anyone scared him and my dd is likely to punch you in the face if you catch her unawares 😂

Tbf I fucking hate being scared too 😂
