Personal Experiences

One of my favorite pranks to pull on friends is switching the salt and sugar containers in the kitchen. I did this to a friend once, and they ended up putting salt in their coffee instead of sugar. It led to a hilarious moment that we still talk about to this day.

Another prank I enjoy is putting googly eyes on everything in their office or room. I prefer to do this when they’re not around, so they come back to a surprise. It always makes them laugh and brightens their day.
