My best prank was the time a dayshifter picked up a night shift and passed out at the desk during a slow point, and I felt too bad for her to wake her, but not bad enough to not execute a light prank. I grabbed a cup of paperclips and gently dropped them into her scrub pockets one at a time until there were 20-30 in each pocket. A few hours later she couldn’t figure out where they all came from and was worried she was deliriously hallucinating until I and the coworkers who saw me doing it couldn’t stop ourselves from laughing. Reverse pickpocketing is one of my all-time favorite prank genres, it’s very low-harm but high-confusion which is ideal.
My sister would slip folded foil butter packets into rude customers’ purses and pockets in the summer at her last restaurant so they’d melt and be awful. I like your prank better.
An excellent metric for pranks is that you should pretty much always be putting in far more effort than your prankee. And “confuse; don’t abuse” are words to live by.
I was once working a construction job with my buddy who was starting his business. He’s my age, but acts like he’s 60. We were bullshitting on the job and I told him how my kid Rick rolled me. He had no clue what the fuck I was talking about. I tried to explain it to him and he just didn’t get it. Fast forward a few weeks and we were in the market for some scaffolding. Doing research trying to find the best place to buy it. I used a link changer site so it didn’t look like youtube and said, “Check out these scaffolding planks, best price I’ve found” and sent him the link. He text me back 5 minutes later like WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!!! I said YOU JUST GOT FUCKN RICK ROLLED BITCH. Then he got it. Problem is, I think he liked it.

It’s just such a harmless prank, which are the best pranks.
