Anyone have any good stories? I’ve got one that I’ll never top:
YES! These will look great on my Corolla!
I worked part time at Autozone during college. My folks lived back in the Chicago suburbs all their life, and I was at a small school in northern Michigan (not upper, still in the mitten). I maybe saw them three or four times a year, and sometimes I’d go weeks without hearing from them. No worries, I was busy working, studying, and playing college ball. I called them, introduced my self as so n’ so, the “ store manager from Autozone store ####.” I informed them that their son closed the store last night, and coming in today, we noticed some money missing from the safe. My parents asked how much; I said over $2,000. I affirmed to them that we are in no way accusing him of stealing the money, but we just wanted some information on where it possibly could have gone. I told them their son was suppose to come into work today, but never showed; and that he also is not answering any calls. By then I can hear my parents fuming through the phone. Through a mix of swears and threats, I finally asked them that if you do ever ge t a hold of him, to call the store immediately. Then I finally said, “Thanks for calling Autozone, you have a wonderful April Fools Day!” I laughed, my boss laughed, and my parents did not.

A couple years after I graduated college I was dating some girl that I really wasn’t that into, but she was fun and nice so I did my best. Well the night before April Fools she talked me into buying walmart cheap rings and setting it up like we had a courthouse wedding. Then posted it on facebook. I get how dumb and predictable that sounds now. Well she decided not to take the ring off and wanted me to keep wearing mine, like she thought I legit proposed to her. We were only together for a few months. Needless to say that was one of the worst backfire April Fools jokes I’ve ever played.

You must have talked to them even less than I do to my own parents. I’m pretty sure they’d still know my voice...

My cousin posted that he crashed his car on Facebook. It was repoed a few months later. Karma is real.

I changed it a little bit. Called from the store’s phone. Covered my tracks.

One time, I faxed a legal claim that was both very serious, but also kind of ridiculous enough to send up alarm bells on April 1st. I spent about three hours forging internal documents to make it look like the claim was valid, but also, ridiculous.
My intention was that no one but our admin would see it.
I sent off the fax, heard her go get it, exclaim “Jesus Christ what the fuck?” and just as I was about to walk up with a shit-eating grin, she walked off. By the time I realized she was heading to our department head’s office, it was too late. I took off running into the office and explained that it was a joke. My boss’ response was that it seemed serious to the admin, because “some people in this office take their job seriously and want to keep it .”
I’m still not sure how I didn’t get fired.

That sounds like she was hoping it’d stick.

I’m as bad at receiving pranks as I am at giving them.
I can’t take it so I don’t dish it out.

A common thing people do is transfer from my school to UGA. I only post on Instagram once every few months, so my life status is unknown to many. So, for April Fools, I posted a picture of myself in a UGA hat and said I was transferring to UGA this fall. I’ve received several “congratulations” comments. I need to deliver the news...

Y’all make my pranks of screen shot and hiding all icons on my colleague’s computer seem lame. Hey it was a software company.

she did hope. She had a bad alcohol problem though, and also a bad sleeping around while drunk problem.

Yeah, I let the first one go, but the second and third were too much once I found out.

Nicely done.
Here are a couple good ones I’ve pulled:
- t he old “rubber band around the kitchen sprayer” - a classic...
- i n my childhood home, my parents and both siblings’ bedrooms were at the end of a long hallway. I woke up early and tied all the doorknobs together so they were stuck inside their rooms until I let them out.

I once pulled the rubber band trick on my dad. Little did I know he was all dressed up for a funeral. He wasn’t too happy about that.
I ne ver though of tying the doors. That’s hilarious
