Question

Could I go into the bathroom and then go on my phone and call 911?

Community Answer

No. In addition to wasting the time of emergency personnel on a prank, your school or parents will get charged a fine for false reporting, and you'll probably end up with detention in addition to any punishment you face at home (which would likely involve you losing your phone). Involving emergency services in any prank can land you in serious legal trouble.

If you are caught doing a prank accept the consequences. These might include detention, suspension or, in the worst case, expulsion.

Question

Can I put a fake cracked screen on my teacher's laptop?

Spaceship

Community Answer

Yes that is a great prank to pull off. When your teacher leaves the classroom grab some plastic wrap and draw fake crack marks on it. When the teacher comes back, say “Oops, I dropped your laptop and cracked it”.

Question

Can I put glue on a friend's desk?

Community Answer

No. Putting glue on a friend's desk is permanent, and you shouldn't do it. However, you could pretend to put glue on your friend's desk but not actually do it to fool them.

Question

How can I not be caught doing a prank?

Community Answer

Do it after everyone goes home. If you are doing the pencil one, do it at home and when no-one in your class is looking put the pencil in someone else’s pot. Or give it to your friend.

Question

Couldn't you get sent to jail for doing some of those?

Spaceship

Community Answer

If the prank is something illegal such as vandalism or prank calling emergency services, you might be criminally charged, convicted and sent to jail. If you decide to pull a prank at school, stick to harmless pranks such as putting rubber ducks in the school fountain or pool or filling the custodian’s closet with balloons.

Question

Can I use a fake keyboard (doesn’t type) to prank my teacher?

Spaceship

Community Answer

This is a good prank to pull if your teacher uses a desktop computer. The best way to pull it off is to wait for your teacher to leave the classroom and replace the keyboard with the faulty keyboard.

Question

Can I put OUT OF ORDER signs in the toilet? That cannot technically be vandalizing and you can literally lock it from the outside with a pen.

Community Answer

Don’t do that, people will be very upset if there’s only 1 bathroom to use because of you.

Question

Can I wash out a glue stick and put cheese in it and eat it in front of my teacher?

Bananas4ever

Community Answer

You could, but make sure you clean it out well, so you don’t eat little bits of glue with your cheese.
