You asked, I'll answer.
Find someone who thinks they are getting promoted. Tell them they've got the job. That when their boss left for lunch... That the boss actually just got fired. Convince them to pack up bosses office.
Don't do this unless you want to lose a friend
@andrewta Takes a hell of a charisma check to convince to pack up someone else's office, I suppose. But if you did pull it off - whoa, you got a silver tongue, my friend. I hope you reconciled later.
Never did this.
@andrewta Never did what, reconcile?
Never pulled that prank
A prank that I did pull. Was one where I knew a guy who couldn’t keep from speaking Or repeating what he hears. So I used that to my advantage. I started out with actually really funny jokes which I knew he would repeat. Then I started telling jokes that were somewhat funny but not hilarious. And I knew he would repeat them. Then I just started saying crazier and crazier stuff to see if he would repeat it.
Had this going for about three or four months. Then one day he figured out what I was doing. Now he doesn’t repeat stuff. It was fun while it lasted. Good times.

> Never pulled that prank
Wrong answer then. I'm looking for life stories, not some theoretical constructs.
> A prank that I did pull.
Well, that's what I'm after.
And you know what? I love this! I'd totally fall for that. I always steal phrases from here and there, ha-ha-ha-ha.
Oh my god, three months. You're a snake.
Nice one. I hope you are both doing alright.
