Lightbulb Prank on a mate's room

One of my coursemates has gone away for a quick break with his girlfriend and has foolishly failed to ensure the security of his room. Now, obviously he needs punishing for this school boy error and so I thought I would seek the advice of the old and bold men and women of pprune.

Someone out there must have some good ideas for what has been done in the past or something original.

Thanx

Best one I read here was to wallpaper over the doorway.

If you have enough puff filling it with balloons could be easier.

Once heard of a room having all the furniture removed, carpeted with turf and the un-expectant returnee was actually quite amused at being greeted by a few sheep grazing.

It could be redecorated in say, bright girly pink, but that might take a lot of work to put right, which would be unfortunate, to say the least.

Unfortunate to have been victim to both, but try hiding a fish under the carpet behind the wardrobe for that seaside aroma all year round.

Alternatively, turn everything in the room that can be turned upside down. Hours of fun!

Get a Met balloon, place inside the door of the room, attach hosepipe to end of Met balloon and continue to fill (from outside the door) until you're frightened to death! It is stunning just how much water a Met balloon can hold, and it is totally impossible to remove it from the room without depositing a gazillion gallons of water on the floor. If you try to lift it by the "nozzle", you'd need a crane that reached about 60 feet. Of course, you'd then have to pay for: the damage to the Mess; and the damage to all your mate's belongings.

A half melted Mars bar in each work shoe/boot normally does the trick..hell to shift and normally only found when getting ready for work, first day back.

Alternatively replace the entire contents of his wardrobe (including uniform and flying kit) with one very bad hawaiian shirt, 80's shell suit trousers and no shoes.

Lastly, just take the fuses out of every electrical plug in his room. Watch as your mate tries to figure out why his is the only room in the mess in which the sockets have failed......

If the flooring is of the carpet type then cress generally produces some spectacular results. Spray the carpet thoroughly with water, liberally sprinkle cress seeds, try and block out as much light as possible until germination has begun. Keep the carpet moist until the seeds sprout then let Gods sunshine flood in.

There is the standard turn everything in his room upside down or relocate its entire contents to another room set up exactly as it was.

Use industrial strength double sided sticky tape and stick the furniture to the celing.

Or the good old fashioned cress seeds in the carpet, water and then they should be in full bloom by the time he comes back!

1. Fill condom with honey, place carefully in bed.....
2. Remove all bolts from bed, replace with matchsticks.
3. Disconnect wash basin downpipe.
4. Carefully remove all screws to wardobe doors.
5. Locate SD cap. Fill same with generous quantity of french chalk.



Or, if you really don't like him, borrow dog. Feed dog with Exlax. Lock dog in room for suitable period of time......

At the minimum, put a big striper (chocolate/coffee etc) down his bed sheets to simulate poor anal hygeine.

The batty will almost certainly be impressed, but not as much as his girlfriend if she returns for one last night of shame with him.

Enjoy.

Angry

placing contents of said room outside of the building in same bedroom arrangement and in full view of window for guest to return to is well worth the effort!!

1) Get commercial quantity of beanbag refills - small white balls that stick to everything - fill said room full to the brim with balls. Works well if they have a removable part above their door as we had, so you don't have to open it to get balls in. They may get rid of most of the balls, but those things stick to absolutely everything.

2) Relocate entire contents onto parade ground the night before he gets back and set up perfectly as it was in the room.

3) Get large rubbish bin, fill with water, then set up 'Hawaii 5-0" by dumping contents in a wave motion in his room. His room will smell like wet dog for years.

1. Cling film his crapper.
2. Give him an apple-pie bed (simply go to the NAAFI, buy an apple pie and chuck it in. If there aren't any apple pies, a treacle tart will suffice...)
3. Erm, has anyone mentioned the old cress-the-carpet gag?

If they have a decent size CD/record/DVD/video collection take all the cds etc out and put them all back in the wrong cases (works well as little 'extra touch' on top of others).

As a variation on the cress theme, why not arrange the wet areas/cress planting in an amusing pattern. A crude picture or risque limerick perhaps.

Obtain a car (chance to annoy two people at the same time), take it apart, and rebuild it inside the room (of course it has to be the right sort of car, some shells won't fit through the doorway). Or anything else that can be dismantled and reassembled. Remember to use lots of threadlock when reassembling.

Combine a few of the ideas on this thread for maximum effect.

Make sure your own room is always well secured at all times after he comes back.
