Not Fall for an April Fool's Day Prank

Tired of getting laughed at on April 1st? He's a list of the most common pranks so you'll be ready.

From Quick Guide: April Fool's Day
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • The ability to pay attention.
  • Patience
  1. Step 1

    Resetting your alarm clock is a common prank. In order to avoid this, make sure it is set for the right time before you go to bed (especially if you always leave it set for the same time and never change it).

  2. Step 2

    After you are safely out of bed, next watch out for ants in the sugar bowl. You're stumbling around trying to make your coffee and haphazardly throw some sugar in only to discover ... there are ants in your coffee! In order to avoid this use sugar packets that you have to rip open yourself.

  3. Step 3

    So you've finally made it through breakfast and just have time for a quick glass of water before heading out the door. Beware. A classic prank is to tape or rubber band the sprayer handle next to the faucet so it's always in the 'spray' position. They then aim it facing the person at the sink and whenever they turn the water on, they are immediately drenched. In order to avoid this prank check the spray nozzle before turning on the water.

  4. Step 4

    You made it to work. Congrats! Now watch out for pranksters near your computer. There are zillions of ways to prank your computer, but the most common way (and least damaging) is to put a small post it on the bottom of your mouse. This will render the mouse useless and you insane.

  5. Step 5

    Work over? Figure you'll just stop into the bathroom before heading home? Maybe wait until you get home. One other common prank is to take liquid soap detergent and 'grease up' a door handle to make sure a person can't get in or out of a room. Best way to avoid this is to make sure your pocket is full of napkins.

  6. Step 6

    Home to the family. It's been a long day. Hopefully you're family will be kind to you after the day you've had. Just be on the look out for plastic food for dinner! If it breaks your teeth ... it's fake!
