I went through a phase. We all go through those, right? The Horse phase. The I’m-a-cat-I’ll-take-my-milk-in-a-bowl-on-the-floor phase. Or was that only me?
For about a year, I went through a pranking phase. Don’t worry. Nothing too crazy.
I searched pranks online, wrote them in my dumb phone notebook, and waited for the opportune time to prank unsuspecting roommates or dorm rooms.
When the dorm room across the hall left their door open for an afternoon, I grabbed a spare toilet paper roll and off I went. I searched my fridge for disgusting foods and piled up their sink with moldy food. They were pretty annoyed and promised retribution. I think we got cookies and movie invites from them so I think that prank turned out well.
For one roommate, I wedged a raisin in her tooth paste tube. Unfortunately, I was brushing my teeth at the same time as her when she squished the raisin out of the tube onto her brush, I basically fell onto the floor laughing. Even before she had a chance to react. Dead giveaway.
I’m not so smooth.
Another roommate, I doused with freezing cold water while she showered. And then a tub full of really hot water. She may have chased us around making very scary noises. Yeah, I had help with that prank, and actually I don’t think it was my idea. I think I was on the receiving end of a similar prank at least once. Not sure what it is about this type of prank.
The prank I am most proud of is the time that I stole all my roommate’s underwear and froze it in a tub of water. One solid ice cube of undies, please. I got home from class, walked into the bathroom, and discovered the undie ice cube chilling in the shower.
Pranks are hilariously fun, but they’re not for everyone. And if you dish, be prepared to be on the receiving end and be cool with it.
