Pranks you fell for when you were young!

Angeles

Right so I'm sure many of you out their fell for a few pranks in your time, what were the best/worst.

-I worked in the bar for a few years when i was younger and remember getting caught by the Heineken Shandy prank on my first week as a lounge boy.
Pretty much the staff sent me to the pub across the street cause they had run out of Heineken shandy and needed a fresh keg.

So all oblivious and wanting to impress! YES SIR! i jog my way over to the pub and ask the barman there for a keg of Heineken shandy for the pub i was working for. He was quick on the ball and instantly replied "No problem kiddo do you need the red or white one" to which ofc i didn't know, so jogged back to my bar and asked which one they need.. "THE RED ONE OFC, JASUS I'VE PEOPLE WAITING"... **** **** ok ok... run back across, "we need the red one", no problem, hang on there a moment.

So the barman goes down to the basement and returns with an empty keg.."here ya go, tell them to mark it down for back order next delivery"
Sweat running off me from traveling back and forth to then carry a keg.. i picked it up and said "This keg is a lot lighter then the others", to which the barman snaps back on the ball an says - "Ahh sure the shandy's have alot more gas in em so there lighter" - Grand stuff!

Needless to say on arrival with the keg i was surrounded by about 10 peeps in fits, to which a customer shouts to the barman for a Heineken shandy with red lemonade, went quite a bit of that florescent pink color after seeing and realizing the trap i had fallen into.

- Few years later up at Barman status i knew all of the tricks, so managed to pull a few myself of some innocent new staff for the giggles, but there was one new lounge boy in particular who thought he was smarter then the rest, even tho we caught him on 1 he convinced himself that he would STAND UP to the nasty barmen if they tried to trick him again and it ofc gained him a reputation of being a cheeky little ****e.
One night it was actually particularly busy and i'd run out of johnny walker and needed to secure a bottle from one of the other bars, this was for a high priority customer back then, there was usually about a handful of these that gave the publicans some "Special privs or something", either way making them wait was considered an insult.

So i call this lounge boy over and tell him, "Run in next story and get me a bottle of johnny walker black" as quickly as you can.
His response was - "Heh nice try but i'm not falling for that one"......wait..what!!?!?!??? and no matter what i said he wouldn't do his job...little smart arse.
In the end the manager had to run in and get me the bottle in his stead.

I remember the look on the boys face after the manager presenting the bottle i was asking for.. I didn't see the boy show up for work after that.

So Ah'ers got any decent ones?

As a kid I was told by my brother that if my hand was bigger than my face I was going to get cancer. So I put my hand up to my face and my brother gave it an almighty smack resulting in tears and snot running down my face from my bashed nose and him roaring his head off laughing, the get.

My older next door neighbour told me that when you put mentos in coke it turns blue. I tried it in class and ended up looking like I pissed myself. So I robbed his Mitre football from his garden and sold it in a jumble sale for £3 to recoup the cost of my lost coke bottle.

Basically listing all of these pranks here means that they have effectively been killed - i.e. the odds of them working on anyone are now a lot less?

Yes on your first day in a job, the only thing you'll think back to is that Boards thread about pranks.

I was at a birthday party that had a bouncing castle, fizzed-up backflips, the craic etc. I was told by some older cousins that the next day the ground where the castle had been would be bouncy. For some reason I believed them, attempted a somersault straight away & broke my collarbone.

Making up stuff to tell children is some of the best fun to be had.

Once worked with a plumber who sent me to get a glass hammer in his van. Had a good laugh at that one after half an hour looking for it! :pac:

I was asked to go for a crate of banana juice. They didn't get me though;)

Started in a pub, first day one of the regulars asked me for a pint of brandy. Don't know why he thought it was a joke on me, I said I'd call his bluff - grabbed a pint glass & started reaching for the optic.

The look on his face was priceless. Think he was working out the bill if he was made pay for it

A friend of mine was working as lounge boy, on his first night he was sent out to the ice machine to seperate the crushed ice from the cubed.

El Guapo!

We used to take the píss out of the apprentices all the time in work. Sent them for long stands, flux capacitors etc etc.
One of them was sent to the shop for a can of coke and a packet of long division. He actually went and asked for it.

At a house party I was at when I was 17, one lad got really pissed and had to be dropped home. No taxis would come out to where we were so my friend decided to. I had to stay behind because there wasn't enough room for everyone (and 'cause the driver had probably been drinking) and off they went on a short spin. Should've only taken fifteen minutes.

They were gone for maybe an hour when I got a phone call.

"Hello is this <name>?"

"Yes."

"Hi, this is Doctor Pseudonym* from Galway Regional Hospital. You were at a party earlier tonight with (my friend's names)?"

:eek:

"Yeah, I was. I'm still at (my friend's name)'s house. Is everything okay?"

"No, I'm afraid not. The car they were travelling in had collided with another car in Salthill. It's very serious. There's been only one survivor, (my friend's name) and he gave me your number."

:eek::eek:

"Right."

"Okay. Well we have the address and the police are on their way to take a statement from you and give you a lift home. They'll be there in half an hour. Bye."

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Then my friends rolled up alive and well about half an hour later. I spent that half hour worrying about telling your man's parent what the fuck happened.

In primary school I was told to "smell the cheese"

BAM!

A noise bleed that lasted 30 minutes.

DaveNoCheese

Had my father grabbing my by the hair and saying "ah feck, you've got updoc in your hair". To which I spent the next 20 mins asking him "what's updoc?... Tell me, what's updoc?!"

My badminton club were organising a meal out, and someone decided it would be an "Egyptian themed" night.

Around a week before, I was chatting to a friend from the club (big guy, six foot two, heavy build, very hairy body...). To wind him up, I told him that the night was to be fancy dress. To my surprise, he took me perfectly at my word, and replied, quite seriously, "right, I'll get out my toga then".

It turned out that he actually had attended a fancy dress several years before, to which he had worn a toga!

I kept it up for a number of days before telling him the truth.... If he actually had turned up in the toga, I'd have gone through the ground

My Dad once told me when the ice cream truck plays its music, it meant the ice cream was all gone

yellowcrayon

For years my dad convinced myself and my sister that you could only get scrambled egg if you kicked the chicken up the ar5e.

He convinced us as well that the hazard lights button in the car was the ejector button and we'd go flying up through the sunroof if we pressed it... my sister only stopped believing this one at the age of 16

WoollyRedHat

We once convinced a guy to walk down to the boiler room, there was no electrciity , so we asked him to check out the fuse box, so we told him to go down and light a match, when he got down there.. But, what he didn't know, was that there was an exposed gas leak, and he ended up killing himself by causing a massive explosion, we laughed for days at that one... silly noobies.
