While you were sleeping
Harmless Practical Jokes and Pranks to Play on Sleeping Family Members and Friends
We've all been the victim of harmless practical jokes and pranks at some point in our lives. We all know how silly we feel when we've been duped. And, of course, there is nothing wrong with a little innocent fun. Just be careful who you prank.
Alarm clock tricks are a nasty thing to do while someone is sleeping. Try one or a few of these:
The first thing that one can do is to set the alarm to go off a couple hours early. Set the clock ahead a couple hours so when the victim awakens, they will think it is actually time to get up. Watch them get up and get ready for work.
Want to turn this prank up a notch? Why not hide the alarm clock somewhere else in the room after they have gone to sleep. The victim will wake up scrambling for the alarm clock only to find it missing from its usual location.
Are you even more devious? Take the light bulb out of the lamp or loosen it so it won't turn on and they will have to search for the alarm clock in the dark. Not quite this cruel?
Why not change the settings on the alarm clock so they will wind up waking up to really loud music that they despise. You can even place tape over the off button and volume control so they cannot turn the music down or off.
These next tricks are particularly cruel. Hair tricks are recommended for sisters, or room mates, but be careful of mom!
Go to the local drug store, grocery store, or department store and visit the hair accessory aisle. Find a package of hair extensions or accessory with artificial hair that matches her hair type. Make sure that color, and body are similar. Make your purchase and let the preparations begin. Carefully snip several strands of the artificial hair roughly the same length as your victim's hair. While the victim is sleeping, sprinkle the strands of hair on their pillow. They will wake up thinking they lost a huge chunk of hair!
For those of you a little more daring, cut her hair while she is sleeping. This is especially easy if she wears a pony tail or pigtails while she sleeps. When she gets up, she will see her new do in the mirror. Be prepared for screams, tears, and more. Just be sure to accept the consequences.
Another cruel hair prank one can play is to replace her shampoo with Nair. One of my classmates as a kid did this to their parents. I personally don't recommend it. But, if you are adventurous and willing to accept the consequences. Go for it!
So your parents, friends, or roomies are sleeping......
Carefully tape plastic wrap in the door frame, covering the entire open space. Once you have completed this project, drop pans in the kitchen or make another loud noise like you fell and yell for help. They will come running straight into the plastic wrap and bounce backwards.
With their bedroom door closed, carefully tape newspapers over the entire door leaving a space at the top. Fill the space full with confetti, styrofoam peanuts, etc. Next, seal off the rest of the open space. When they get up in the morning, open the door and a vacuum will be created spreading the stuffing all over the room.
While the victim is sleeping, squirt shaving cream in his / her hand. Tickle their face with a feather and watch them rub the cream all over their face.
Another thing you can do while they are sleeping is to place their hand in a bowl of warm water. More often then not, they will wet the bed.
Take an ink pen or marker and write a message on their arm, face, etc. When they wake up, they won't know it is there until they go look in the mirror.
Dorm rooms work particularly well for this next trick. You need to have two bedrooms across the hall from each other (doors need to open inward). Tie a rope around each door knob on either side of the hallway. Leave enough slack so one door can be opened a few inches. Knock frantically on both doors and watch your neighbors have a tug of war with the door. |
