I am bored. Help me prank my friend.

No i don't have anything better to do. Yes I am childish.

That said me and my best friend have a long running game where we like to prank each other. Very small scale stuff. Most recently this has taken the form of sending each other postcards from wherever we are with daft messages on them.

It started when i went on holiday and sent her a postcard as promised. Then she went away and forgot to send me one. So the next time i was away (not anywhere vaguely exciting) i sent her a narky one bemoaning my lack of postcards. Then she bombarded me with daft cards saying how much she loved me and was my bestest ever friend.

Now I'm stuck. What can I do or send her.....

I know mn is full of evil geniuses (genii?)...please help me Grin

Friend is definitely coming round tonight. She is a very good friend - dh is out tonight so she's coming to help with bedtime (i have 2 dd's) and to give me a bollocking about the postcards.

I have so won this round of the prank war although i'm a bit worried as to what she's going to do to me next.....

Will do more postcard updates this eve if i can! Smile

I am a bit late to the party but my dd constantly does pranks, she clingfilmed her dad and his girlfriends car one night while babysitting , waited till they were in bed then filled the bathroom with balloons, u have to step into the bathroom to turn the light, and at xmas completely wrapped her younger sisters room in wrapping paper.

Send her a Christmas card (now rather than at Christmas!)...from a made up person Grin

Crackedhouse · 06/09/2014 18:43

Had a few set backs this week so I'm super late, but it's finally in the post!!

If you freeze bits of mentos in icecubes, when you put them in cola, when the ice cube melts, the cola explodes/volcanos (if you youtube cola rockets .. its that on a small scale!)

This thread's really made me chuckle, let me know if you still want anything posting - oh and carrots do quite well so long as you staple the stamp on well.

Also full details of 'Fifty Shades' postcard:

Hi, I am in glorious Swindon, God, do you remember when we were here last?! Haha...yes, best we forget! I visited the Magic Roundabout today, it was great, very thrilling, 10 out of 10! Talking of thrilling, can you send me my copy of Fifty Shades of Grey? Wish you were here, Nigel xxxxxxxx P.S. Roger says hi.

I do need that copy of Fifty Shades of Grey back though......

GlowWithLight · 07/09/2014 11:37

Oh this thread has made me cry with laughter, hahahahaha. I so want to do a postcard, OP. If you don't need anymore I have a friend who would appreciate this prank, actually thinking about it several friends. I must know good people Grin

shrunkenhead · 07/09/2014 13:41

Loving this thread! Please let me send your friend one, or anyone else who wants to prank their friend if you have enough! I live in a sleepy Lancashire village. Is there a Janet and Roy link as missed it last year and am keen to get on the comedy bandwagon?!

Saracen · 07/09/2014 15:34

Can you rope some friends and acquaintances in to make her "lose a day"?

For example, if she works Wednesdays, and Wednesday is bin day, then on Tuesday get her boss to ring her to ask why she isn't at work, have the neighbours put their bins out a day early etc.

I once mobilised most of a college class, plus the tutor, to turn up to class on Sunday and pretend it was Monday. My victim's flatmate woke him shortly before class started, saying "Aren't you meant to be going to class?" He mumbled something about it being Sunday, whereupon his flatmate pointed out the many people streaming along the road apparently on their way to class. He went flying out the door, arriving at class late, where people were discussing a fictitious reading assignment. He then tried to pretend he knew what we were talking about. We kept asking his opinion about the author's message.

lettertoherms · 07/09/2014 15:47

I'm a bit late to this, and I'm not sure you want to keep it going this long, but if you really want to throw her off, I'm willing to send a Nigel from San Francisco!

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 07/09/2014 16:00

you lot are bloody hilarious. 11/10 erotic bus station is unbeatable but for some reason the colander also had me hooting.

FunkyBoldRibena · 07/09/2014 16:48

I am late to this but am driving round France for the next week...if you want to keep it going.

EmilyByrdStarr · 07/09/2014 20:43

Postcard posted, DH very bemused!

AlpacaPicnic · 08/09/2014 12:23

Yay! Glad to see my super dull postcard made it!

ApocalypseNowt · 08/09/2014 13:19

Here's the other one (can only post so many pics per day).

I'd love to send her more (especially tempted by San Francisco & France!) but fear that i have gone far enought for now.

Friend is coming round again tomorrow so hopefully will have more of Nigel's exploits then! Grin

I am bored. Help me prank my friend.

This is brilliant, wish i'd seen this thread sooner so I could send a postcard

NigelMumsnet · 08/09/2014 14:06

Hi Laydees,

Well here I am in Classics (where we have now moved this thread). So far I have visited the marital rows thread. I thought it was very heated, and a bit unfair on Anthea. I give it 7 out of 10.

By the way did I leave my Elderly Korean Lady at your house? I can't find it.

Wish you were here,
Nigel

P.S. Janet and Roy say Hi!

ApocalypseNowt · 08/09/2014 14:11

Woohoo Nigel has made it to classics!

I'm putting this thread on my c.v. Grin
