Today, it's April Fools' Day, so whether you choose to prank your significant other, your BFF, or your entire office, it's time to come up with a game plan NOW.
Your trickery should follow this basic rubric: 1) funny and 2) harmless. Not harmless in a way that squeezes all the fun out of it. Yes, a screaming reaction is usually good… but only when it's followed by a screaming fit of laughter.
Folks, so go forth with these 5 April Fools' Day pranks, and make merry!
01 Hogwarts acceptance lettersGot any friends waiting to hear back on their college or grad school applications? Any of them happen to be huge fans of Harry Potter? Well, have I got the perfect prank for you — faux acceptance letters to Hogwarts! Make them extra formal and official-looking to have your friends wondering “what the hell is going on?!?!”
02 Your lucky day (well...actually not)
There are always some classic supergluing coins on a busy sidewalk spot, watching people try (unsuccessfully) to pick them up. Just don't follow this prankster's lead, leave wet glue on the ground.
03 Brown E's
If you like puns and tricking hungry, innocent tummies with the promise of delicious fudgy chocolate for the bait-and-switch of construction paper, then this will be right up your alley — a pan of brownies on the outside with inedible brown letter E's on the inside! No oven is required to bake up this April Fool's trick, but you may have a hangry mob on your hands once your prank is revealed… don't say I didn't warn you!
This one's not a show-stopper, but it is super easy, and tame enough for almost any office. When your (hopefully good-natured) coworker heads off for a bathroom break, hit Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow to flip the screen on his or her PC upside down. The antidote is simple: Ctrl+Alt+Up Arrow… but it's probably going to take them a frustrated (read: funny) five minutes to figure that out.
Happy April Fool's Day!
Y'all!
Just keep in mind that the first rule of April Fools' Day is safety
