April Fools!

Pippa! · 31-03-2017 4:27pm #1

So, anyone doing anything fun to anyone else tomorrow?! Go on and share pretty please!

Sure I'll start will I?.... I've painted eyes on all the eggs in the cupboard, I'll draw little spiders on the loo roll once everyone's asleep... Oh and I'll draw mustaches on everyone while they're sleeping... I've doctored bags of crisps, opening them carefully, adding things like spiders left over from Halloween and then supergluing the bags together again... Changed the white filling in chocolate bisquits to toothpaste... etc. April 1st is one of my favourite days of the year

Barry Badrinath · 31-03-2017 4:28pm

You sound like a nightmare to live with.

Wait until you're 8 or 9 and the novelty will have worn off with maturity.

Erik Shin · 31-03-2017 4:29pm

I suppose once you reach adulthood, April's fools loses it novelty.
How many posts tomorrow stating that Trump has resigned/transgendered/defected/died will we see?

I really am hoping that Trump being POTUS was all an elaborate april fools joke and we will be put out of our misery tomorrow.

What's a "youse"?

Friday cheer? About something happening on Saturday? Located entirely in your house? At this time of the year?

I've 6 kids in my house. None of them are mine, they don't got no names but I've got 'em.

Pippa! · 31-03-2017 4:37pm

What's wrong with you all??! Everyone in my house think it's brilliant, probably because they're mostly under the age of 7...! And I didn't ask to be dissed, I asked if anyone wanted to share! You grumpy old fellas needent bother saying anything!!!

everlast75 · 31-03-2017 4:40pm

We caught out a grown man in our office with the "Annie Lyons" prank a few years ago. Was more than mildly amusing to do it too..

Pippa! · 31-03-2017 4:41pm

Thanks Senor Fancy Pants! You're obviously not a grumpy old fella so ;-)

cajonlardo · 31-03-2017 4:41pm

One of the stupidest things I've ever done...

I was working in a Private Hospital way back.
A man was admitted with very serious injuries, supposedly the result of a punishment beating that went on for several days. He was there for several months and was getting on grand with staff. Early one morning he left his room and wasn't seen again. Problem was his bill was gigantic - even though he was rumoured to have been paying cash installments.

Anyway, April 1 rolls on and I'd been working a night shift. For some extremely thick reason I phoned the Matron and told her yer man was back and asking for his old room. Before I could say "April Fool" she hung up and phoned the CEO - at 6.40 in the morning. He arrived about 20 mins later with 4 Gardai and needless to say they weren't in the slightest amused.

Yeah, you can keep April Fools thanks.

If i did any of those things my wife would have my head.
Shes a bit jumpy at the best of times, spiders in her crisps and toilet roll would have her in bits.

One of the secretaries gave him a call, saying a new Client wanted a call back, called Annie Lyons and gave him the phone number to Dublin Zoo.

Juvenile I know, but we couldn't believe he fell for it.

He made the call and even missed the "hello, Dublin Zoo?" part - went straight to ask to speak to Annie Lyons

Rubberchikken · 31-03-2017 5:08pm

Agricola · 31-03-2017 5:57pm

Have always wanted to fake a lotto win for a family member or friend. Would have to supply them the "winning" numbers after seeing their ticket beforehand. Would be difficult, but my god what an April fools that would be!

"Hold on a second! DON'T call that Ferrari dealership just yet.............you actually DIDN'T win the Euromillions jackpot at all!! APRIL FOOLS!!!!!"

Only problem would be never speaking to that person again. A small sacrifice in some cases.

whiskeyman · 31-03-2017 5:59pm

I'd say abortion clinics get a good few inquiries from concerned boyfriends before 12 noon...

The family are headed out for a nice big meal in a fancy restaurant on a voucher I gave them.

But the voucher is actually just something I made up and printed off

You do know the gag must be made before noon, otherwise you become the fool - ie, they'll ultimately make you get the bill!

Two quick work related ones...

1.
Lock the toilet door from the outside using a coin in the slot below the handle. Many people don't realise that the lock is accessible from the outside. Watch as staff and customers play the waiting game...

2.
A sticker or white paper square sellotaped to the underside of a computer mouse. Cue shaking of mouse, frantic swiping and clicking.

Ahhhh. Good times

You know when you walk into a room and people stop talking...You get a little paranoid that they were talking about you....In your case..They were!
