April Fools' Day pranks

What's your favourite April Fools' Day prank?

My favourite right now is to leave a sticky note on a colleague's empty seat that simply says "April Fools" - and when they return, watch them nervously go about their day….

    Taping duct tape to the bottom of laser mouses (or mice). Sadly, it was not the first time that joke had been used before.

    Wide scale investment fraud and insider trading.

    As long as you do it before midday then the whole "April Fools! Got you guys!" should hold up in court.

    Did I mention Telstra are moments away from announcing they're moving away from the telco business and throwing all their money into restarting Blockbuster Video with the strategy of solely stocking documentary VHS? If you want my advice, I'd say sell, sell, sell.

    I once taped a balloon over exhaust pipe of father in laws car. He thought he rolled back in to something when it went bang.

  • I timed my store rep posting wrong and can't post an April Fools deal until tomorrow.

  • Once I stuck a (removeable) fake scratch decal on my teacher's car. His reaction was gold!

    I've always wanted to spam someone's door with tins of Spam so when they open their door to go to work/school, all they'll see is Spam but it's a bit of a waste of money considering I don't like Spam…

    • So, what are Ozbargain credits used for? It's been a year already.

      /gif I want answers!

      • Last time I checked you didn't make a match. /gif foreveralone

  • I was going to post this as a DEAL, but they do not have any prices for the items as yet…

    • Just make up a price that you see fit jv.

      • That would be a bit fishy…

    nvm

    • Print cockroach templates and cut them out and stick them under lamps and such. Everyone will think there is a cockroach there.

    • Make a folder on someone's desktop that is embarrassing (e.g. Horse Porn, take screenshot of desktop, set as desktop. Watch them try and delete the folder without luck.

    • Wrap sticky tape around toothbrush handle so when they grab it it sticks to their hand

    • Superglue or stick a $2 coin to the ground.

    • Print fragments of a $50 note and slide them under books or papers. When someone pulls it out it's just a fragment and not a whole note like they expected.

    • If you can, set up a Squid proxy on your router and route people's traffic through there and do things like flip all the pages they visit. More info here

    Many decades ago some April Foolers barricaded the main roads into Hampshire ( South England ) telling any drivers that wanted to go through that Hampshire was closed for a stocktake of the number of people who were there. Absolute classic that most believed & accepted. Obviously this was before the big motorway days.
    By the way R.I.P. Ronnie Corbett 😔
