This girl, Abby texted the group chat to tell us something bad happened to our friend Ella, that her mom sent a message saying she collapsed and fainted.

It had been several hours, and Abby said Ella hasn’t woken up yet, according to her mother.

I was worried, vented to my family about it, and tried calling her number. It appeared her phone had been turned off.

Later, Ella told me and her BF Michael that it was a prank and that her phone was off because she was on a plane. She was bored and thought no one would care if she was in an actual coma.

I was relieved and Michael was rightfully pissed.

    Many many years ago, a friend of mine installed a remote control plugin on another friends Foobar (music player) without their knowledge. He then proceeded to troll by messing with the volume and the track playing, not only when he was visiting but also when he would pass by the house. He would check if Foobar was being used and then would troll a bit before continuing. This went on for about 4 months. The other dude was going insane trying to figure out what was happening.

    Happened at my school 20ish years ago.

    School trip of multiple classes to a neighboring city. So they packed each class into a bus one by one, taking multiple trips.

    At some point someone put a piece of paper with “help, rampage kidnapping” into the back window of the bus as a “joke”.

    It wasn’t found out until the next class was on the road and suddenly was surounded by a armored police force

        his office was in a basement so it was very dark when he opened the door, saw a silhouette and pulled his piece while shouting dont move… he figured it out pretty quick after that moment, but it was hilarious.

        i then took the mannequin and put it on the desk of the elected county clerk… she just screamed. That one i got on video and played for her staff as i setup a webcam to catch her screams.

        i got the mannequin from a fellow employee who moonlighted at kohls. totally worth it. so many uses.
