Coming up next week, it is my best friend’s 26th birthday! I am going to take her out for dinner, at her favorite restaurant and she has made her boyfriend and I promise that we won’t embarrass her! I haven’t really put much thought into what I’m going to do, but I thought I’d ask, have you guys got any good birthday pranks pulled on you? Any suggestions?

Has she got a job with an office? My dept's secretary's office had a transom window over the door, and on her 40th birthday the students opened it up and passed black balloons through until the office was completely full of them, floor to ceiling. If your friend has even a cube for an office, the same could be done. Black balloons, though, should be saved for more gloomy birthdays. So pick a cheerier color.Another good birthday prank I played on a friend who worked in a office with others, was arrange for flowers or some other deliverable gift to be sent to everyone ELSE in the office except her. And made sure they came off and on throughout the day. Each time a delivery man would come in, she expected it to be something for her... and it never was.... Until 4:45, when all the other gifts were given to her. They had cards saying "This was really for Jesse, but to tease her I delivered it to you. Please unite with all the others in your office to pass all the gifts on to her at 4:45, while singing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" in unison and as loud as possible. It is imperative that she thinks the delivered gifts were for each of you and not her until that time, so please keep the secret." Hope you have fun.KSNeptune

Another good Idea is to birthday wrap everything in her house/apartment/office or whatever. for my friends birthday, we went to the local dollar store, but a ton of wrapping paper, and we covered her car, and everything else in her room at her parents house (19th birthday, this happened a few years ago). She went to dinner with her boyfriend, and her parents let us in to have some fun. It will always help if you have an insider to let you into the house rather then get arrested for B&E.

nah, we wrapped up her bed, dresser, night stand, jewerly box, radio, and all that stuff. Mostly just the big bulky items got wrapped. It doesn't come out with the best wrapping job on the odd shaped things like the bed, but you can get pretty good on the big boxy shaped items like the dresser and such. Other pranks we've pulled similar to this were holiday themed decorating. My friend's little brother got his room decorated for Halloween. We put leaves and hay on his floor, a few pumpkins, corn stalks, and some cheep lawn decorations. It was good because he had to rake his carpet clean. Also, confetti makes great snow for christmas pranks as well, but I won't go into that one.I'm a big fan of practical jokes, if you didn't notice.

Go to a gag shop and by her a FAKE winning lottery ticket that will say she won 10,000 Dollars. They look real and I have fooled many of my friends. James

If she has a phone on her desk or even at home.....tape her phone together.....use an entire roll of masking tape or better....duct tape. She gets home..and you start calling every 10 seconds.....for a girl that is pure hell.

The best prank I ever got off was to a co-worker! Another co-worker and I got about 75 keys (house, car, padlock, etc.) and made about 30 “sets” of keys! We used neon key rings, so they would stand out! Then, we added to these “sets” a key-tag with the following.....IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!! IMPORTANT!!If found please call:(555) 555-5555 His cell phone number $50.00 RewardThen between the two of us we, left these keys in public places, like the salvation army, public bathrooms, my college, parking lots, and other “high traffic” areas! 29 of the 30 called him to collect the reward! Needless to say he was mad by the 10th call!

Well, Friday was her birthday and I got a crap load of purple (her favorite color) balloons and filled her jeep cherokee FULL of them. For an added bonus, I tied the trash bags that all the balloons were in, onto her car. I WAS going to saran wrap her car but it was 75 degrees and sunny here and I didn’t want it to melt and ruin the black paint. Then I got a bouquet of sunflower’s (her favorite flower) and put them underneath all of the balloons!

that sounds like a good prank... not very mean, but creative. I like the touch of flowers under all the balloons. She couldn't have been mad anymore when she found those. Good work.

Thanks, she was very happy, especially with the flowers! She says that "I have it coming" for my 21st birthday in November!
