Tired of losing to your cocky roommate that talks trash after every ping pong beatdown? With a little practice and some skillful antics, you too can wear the ping pong championship belt with pride.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Ping pong table
  • Ping pong paddles
  • Ping pong balls
  • Glue
  1. Step 1

    Practice when your roommate is at work. If they think you're not prepared, you already have a leg up.

  2. Step 2

    Develop a trick serve that nicks the corner of the table at least 99 percent of the time. Most professionals won't be able to return this.

  3. Step 3

    Crack their paddle and put it back together with just enough glue so by the time they figure out what they're playing with, it's too late.

  4. Step 4

    Compliment your roommate's skill before the game then ask for a 5 point cushion just to make things even.

  5. Step 5

    Scream "I own you" at the top of your lungs on every shot.

  6. Step 6

    Argue every close call with a John McEnroe "Are you kidding me?" Your cocky roommate will get tired of this routine and will start to cave just to get to the next point.

  7. Step 7

    Give your cocky roommate a little chin music. Launching every third serve past their head lets them know you mean business.

  8. Step 8

    Wear a headband, short shorts and enter to your favorite classic rock ballad. The laughing won't stop until you're up by at least 3 points.
