Pranks are childish

“We’re boooooored!” can sometimes be the statement that leads to the least boring situations you can get yourself into. With nothing to do, and no work that HAS to be done right now, it’s understandable to get a little antsy and what better way to amuse yourself than annoy those around you and get a laugh and a story out of it? We’ve pulled together a list of the best suggestions for pranks to pull on your housemates/hallmates, because they deserve some form of humiliation for agreeing to live with you. Some are easy to explain, some you need to see the effect in youtube splendour.

Industrial Strength Fairy Liquid down an ensuite toilet. Completely unnoticeable until the victim comes home, and like any self-respecting human flushes the toilet. Dory from Finding Nemo would have a whale of a time with the amount of bubbles that’ll come flooding back up the bowl.

Put hard boiled sweets into the showerhead of an ensuite shower. For the next 3-4 showers the young person attempting to get clean will leave the shower feeling sticky and sweet smelling like they had an entirely different kind of facial.

Take the mechanical, tacky, awful song button out of a greeting card and stick it under their rug to scare the shit out of them and hurt their ears next time they walk over it.

Setting the clock forward for lectures. Standard, but classic.

Glue all of their belongings to the ceiling. It’ll be like The Twits comes to life.

Got damp in your house? Find the silver lining-or in this case, green. Sprinkle cress seeds on your roommates’ carpet, give it a little love and water every one in a while and your housemate will have a nice lawn.

Cling filming their car and whip creaming it. Leaves them dirty whilst trying to get into their car. Go further and cling film their CDs, wheel and glove compartment to make them further frustrated when they think they’ve got over the worst of it.
