(Thanks to 7Critter for today's question idea!)

Did you ever do call pranks on the phone as a kid?
How about TP'ing a house?
Throw eggs?
Any other pranks as kid or adult?
Let's hear them!

It was epic. In 9th grade, we TP'd the class president's house. An entire case of TP (48 rolls), 12 cans of shaving cream, 6 boxes of cornflakes watered down into the lawn.

Less than twenty bucks in 1973 dollars. Completely unaffordable to today's jr. high prankster.

As teens, we used to phone random houses with the usual jokes about refrigerators running, etc.

My younger brother and I used to collect empty bottles and old light bulbs, then wait until it was late and run down a residential street breaking everything as loud as we could.

We did stupid stuff like that when we were kids. I remember a bunch of us getting together to egg a house. Never seen anything like it lol. Looked like a white cloud of stuff from every direction until the smacking of all of them hitting the house.

When I was an 80's metal dude, me and my cousin got really stoned....and went into a workyard of cable trucks on a Friday night. One of the doors was open. In the back was a case of white spray paint. BIG Mistake!!!
We proceeded to paint the complete...interior of that truck Completely white! The seat, roof, floor, dashboard, steering wheel and lastly, the windshield! That worker who owned that truck must've had a heart attack on Monday Morning!

-To the Universe; really sorry bout that.... I was young, high and Stupid!

I did phone pranks in my teen years with a friend of mine. I had a little tape recorder that I would hook up to the phone so we could play back the best ones for more laughs later.

My favorite gag was I'd find two people in the phone book that lived near each other. Then I'd call one and tell them I was with a private investigation firm and was wondering if they had any information on the other person. Of course, I'd call the other one too and ask the same about the first person. I was amazed at how easily they would go on about whatever "dirt" they knew about the other. And, if they didn't know anything they'd just tell stuff that they "think they heard" about them, etc. They were never skeptical of the call -- they were just totally into digging up dirt on the other person if they could.

I once made an attempt to join in a group to TP a house after a football game. Couldn't do it! My guilt got me.
