Hey. I have a friend I want to play a practical joke on. What are some odd safe for work and pet items that will just make them question how it got there.
Edit: Gosh darn it. I love you all. These are great.
Rubber ducks. Watch the video https://share.google/BUzibjkS7hJQ099w4 first.
My daughter once shared that video with me for laughs. Then she moved into her shared student accomodation. We helped moving in, and just before we left, I went to the bathroom. With a bag of ducks in my pocket.
I fondly remember her screaming “PAPA!” 😃
Price tags. In Euros or rubles. And signs in Polish, Swedish, Russian, etc. On all his furniture and appliances, possibly on each bedroom too

The friend who helped me move into this apartment ~10 years ago hid a ton of index cards folded in half with a joke on the outside and the punch line inside scattered everywhere. I was finding them for literal years. In my heavy winter jacket pocket (I moved very far south from very far north in the US so I didn’t find that one 'til the one snow of the winter), in my board games, under my computer mouse, in my cooking pots.
Photos of their workspace, home, car. No one in the shot. Random photos of their things. Then attach them to the things. Photo of the microwave taped under microwave or on the side they dont normally see. Fridge pic on top of fridge. Photo of remote in where the remote batteries go.
Maybe label all the photos in a foreign language like Russian or something.
Get an electric metronome (for playing instruments), unscrew a vent, turn it on, and screw the vent back on. He probably won’t hear it till he goes to bed, then it’s like a clock with a megaphone through the entire house.
If they have a cat leave a dog toy, if they have a dog leave a cat collar etc.
Leave a pineapple in the dishwasher or under the bathroom sink
19 sticky notes, label them 1-10 and 12-20. Hide them in random places with 1 modestly easily found on a regular day.
Sticky notes not as in Post-Its but as in notes that are… sticky.
Empty pringles can, 2 sponges, rubber gloves, and the biggest thing of lube you can find.
LOL
If they have a cat, take some brown clay and sculpt an unusually large cat shit and leave it in the litter box.
I used to work for the federal government and we all HATED a certain department manager. It was a huge facility with hundreds of employees and had an institutional sized break room with several glass door commercial refrigerators, like you see at convenience stores. Employees had to have their names on all refrigerated items or they would be thrown out. Somehow I wound up with a bottle of chocolate flavored edible lube, so I put the department manager’s name on it and stuck it amongst the bottles of condiments. The department manager was too good to eat in the break room with the peons, so she never saw it. Everybody hated her and got a huge laugh out of it and the chocolate lube sat in the fridge for months :) Maybe put something like that randomly in their refrigerator or in a cabinet.
Reminds me of one time when I was getting my lunch leftovers to take home from a fridge in one of the break rooms at WotC. Sitting on the wire rack was a plain baloney sandwich with a single large bite taken out of it, like it came from a cartoon. When I say “plain” I mean two pieces of wheat bread with a piece of baloney between them - no apparent mustard, mayo, or anything. Also no plate, no sandwich bag, just this pathetic, dry looking, worst sandwich ever, lying directly on the wire shelf.
Next to the sandwich was a Post-It that just said, “SRSLY?”
I already donated some odd snacks. I think the most recent was bacon flavored jelly beans. They will eat them.
This is one I was planning to do for a friend but he moved away and I never got a chance.
Toast his bread. Take two slices of bread out of his bread bag, toast them, then put them back in the middle of the loaf.
My go to is always sneak in a framed photo of Peggy Bundy in amongst their own photos. She is Americas mother after all!
That’s perfect. Plus, anyone who has caught her (the actress) at a convention adores her anyway. So they can keep the photo and try to get it signed.
If they have a cat … take a shit in the litter box.
