here's a disadvantage of using my real name on a forum - so details will be scant.
many years ago I was in a sporting organisation which had a rival. Just before a televised sporting event, which included helicopter coverage, I climbed onto the 3rd story roof of the rival at 2am and sprayed a slogan with spray paint for the helicopter camera crew to pick up.
I hope that is suitably vague, but I didn't have to buy a drink in my own club for about 6 months!

One I have never told anyone...I lit a firework rocket in my back garden following all the safety rules, however the wind caught before it took off and knocked it over. As a result its flight path was rather lower than expected. It took a low arc over the road and neatly slid under the old oak door of our villages 600 year old church.
The flashing lights behind the stained glass windows looked great. Luckily for us the rocket stopped in a part of the church with nothing flammable. However the local press went on about the vandals' in the village for weeks on end.

Once when i worked in a shop i was serving a customer and chatting away and asked when she was due ? Her blank expression made me realise she was just fat not pregnant. Could have done with a trap door at that moment in time, i died on the spot and went silent. She went nuts and even complained to my boss who luckily thought it was hysterical, after she had been pacified and gone.
Lesson learned, dont make assumptions.
Arhh the joys of being young and naive eh ?

Two confessions: one of which I'm ashamed and one of which I'm proud.
Let me get the 'ashamed' one out of the way first. It's funny how these things stick in your mind even decades later. I was a postgrad student in Bangor, Wales and was walking down the high street. Some local teenagers were messing around and two of them pushed another to the ground. While he wasn't badly hurt, his hands were bleeding and he scuffed his face. Of course, the others thought it was a big joke and laughed loudly. I don't know how many times I've looked back on that event and felt terrible that I didn't walk over and help the young man up from the ground. No one else did; we all avoided the incident. Honestly, I wish I could do this over again, in which case I would definitely have helped him up.
Now for the 'proud' confession. It was in Bangor again, a few weeks before I completed my PhD. It was a few days before finals began for the undergrads, and a union decided to go on strike and refuse to allow students to check out books. The anguish on the faces of some poor students was patent, so I decided to do something about it. As a postgrad, I had more access to the library than most, so I would take lists of books the undergrads needed. I'd find them on the shelves and pass them through the letterbox of a door at the back of the library. I kept a detailed list of books to be sure they were all returned (which they were). Looking back, I was lucky I wasn't caught because someone may have prevented me from graduating - but they didn't and I did.

I'm trying really hard here to think of something....I know I'm not perfect, even if I am female! the only thing I can think of right now.........
I teach dog training on a part time basis and was booking in the new class.. I hadn't really looked at the people who had come in with the dogs, but noticed the girl paying me had come in with another female, so when I asked for her mums name to put on my register.. you guessed, it wasn't her mum, but her partner! - I wanted to disappear especially when I looked properly and there was only about 5 years difference between them.

For a laugh me and about 10 mates used to burgle another mate who was living with his mum at the time. It was little things at first, a garden gnome here, a doorbell there. Over the course of a couple of weeks it got to the point where we hired a transit van and cleared out his entire garden (front and back) and the contents of his conservatory, which he kept unlocked, including a weights bench, 2 x PC's, a desk, a stereo and CD collection. We would then send ransom notes and even a video of a gnome getting thrown into Pompey harbour, just to let him know we meant business lol.
Sure enough karma came around and as we invaded one night he had staked out the garden with his entire family, cue one of the most impressive fights I have ever seen. My personal highlight was his mum knocking out one of my mates. He saw the funny side after a couple of months and we returned all the goods. My mum made me go around and apologise (i was 21) but it was fun while it lasted.
I should have added that this was the culmination of about 3 years of childish practical jokes.
Who needs enemies eh?

Sounds a lot like what we all do in my group of friends now, that one is bloody hilarious id love 2 do that with my mates!
Heres one that might make you laugh! Just read this after writing it, and it is quite long, the end is good though so worth a read
When in Magaluf last year, we had about 4 rooms, and a couple of low key pranks were played, leaving **** in a bday(sp?), putting pubes in peoples wallets ect.
After a few nights though, the pranks reached new levels, keys were being stolen and people would return for a half hour in the night, go into other peoples rooms and throw all the beds around, pour water everywhere, put shaving foam on the mirrors, and mix up all the clothes.
When it came to our room, we were the last to be pranked upon, and we lost a key ( at about 3pm ) so we were pretty positive our mates had it. A friend from another room told us who had it, and we set out a cunning plan to get back at them. Firstly let us tell you that they were very cunning and managed to do over our room and then plant the key on our balcony, and have the door locked, so it looked like we might of just left the key behind! (They'd simply jumped a load of balconies to do this
)Our cunning plan? Because we knew of the prank they were planning to play, we emptied our safe contents into a friends, including PSPs, wallets, jewerly, ipods, phones ect prior to the prank they were going to play.
When we had been pranked we acted cool at first, laughing it off and going along, and then we accused them of stealing our stuff from the safe, and asked for it back, naturaly they were worried as they knew they hadn't taken from the safe, but we pestered them and then eventualy we acted mental saying "someone must of left the door open", "how could you be so stupid" - they felt so bad! Wasn't till the next morning when we came out Phones and Ipods a'blazing that we told them.. haha!

We used to order taxis and takeaways etc to mates houses and watch the ensuing arguements " I didnt order that lol". That was always good entertainment. Another one used to be throwing train tickets out of windows and watching them grovel to the conductor.
One of my mates got that bladdered once we tied him up naked outside of his house. His mum came out lamping him. Also, same mate, we done a runner from an indian while he was in the toilet and he had to lump the whole bill.
Ah, glory days

We do the whole prank to the take away men, we've answered the doors naked, pretending to be having some sort of weird sexy party :|
Also we went to the extreme once and fielded a whole host of weird things to do to him, we prepared with one of our friends under the wheel of a car, another friend sitting on a wall humming, another friend hiding to just walk behind him when he arrives, and me opening the door stark naked. Oh and 2 friends hanging out the window pretending to be dead!
That was just one to freak him out, sixth form days own lol..
