BEST April Fool's joke?

[CurlyQ284]

My ex's roommates stacked all his furniture and packed it in so tight he couldn't get it back out of the furniture tower.

This morning, DH orchestrated for everyone on his team to call in sick. I wonder if they did it or if his boss remembered it was AF and it flopped.

That is hilarious!

This isn't fantastic or anything but I've only played one. It was on my ex-boyfriend. He had this old classic mustang that I hated so I had my friend from work call him and act like she was with our apartment complex leasing office. She said he was going to have to move his car off of the property or they would have it towed. He was arguing with her on the phone and she was all "SIR! It's and EYE SORE!" LOL! He was so pissed. Right after they got off the phone I got a call from my desk. He was all "You will not believe what just happened, the leasing office called me and..." He was so pissed off at me for that. He was no fun.

DH had his company do something similar this morning to the boss.  He told everyone to park in the back of the building and had the admin call the boss and say "NO ONE IS HERE YET!!"  Boss pulled in, got out of his car, looked around and started walking in.  They said you could see if on his face when he realized it was AF.

In 6th grade, we stacked all the desks/chairs in the center of the room in math class. Our teacher walked in, burst into tears and ran out of the room. We were all confused cause like, it's just chairs? Turns out her husband asked for a divorce that morning (also a prank) so she had a bad day all around. That is the only one I have ever participated in.

My dad always got us. Once my brother and I were home alone. He called us whispering into the phone that we needed to each pack one bag with what we absolutely needed and than hide under our beds. He said put your hands over your ears and don't come to the door for anyone.

When he came home he got us out from under the bed. Put pillow cases on our heads and led us to the car. He said we were moving and couldn't take anything else not even our cat. I was bawling.

He drove us to Pizza Hut took the bags off our heads and said it was all an April Fools joke. We were just going out to dinner. What he diddnt realize was that as a proud D.A.R.E. graduate, who was well aware of the pot my dad always had in his room. I truly believed he was in trouble, probably for drugs, and that the police were coming to take him away.......asshole.

My younger brother's car is still registered to our dad. Last year bro got a ticket from a red light camera that went to dad since it's his car. Dad told bro to take care of the ticket.

Bro calls dad on April 1 and says he just went to pay the ticket but it was too late and they had issued a warrant for Dad. They wouldn't let bro take care of it, Dad would have to set a court date and see a judge.

This is something that would be very typical of my brother, so Dad totally bought it. He was furious. Bro said several times "I didn't see that it had to be paid by April 1st, which is today" Dad finally caught on, called Bro a name I can't type because my school has a filter for dirty words, then called me for an idea for how to get him back.

I went to a private, pretty expensive college. I actually managed to land a position as an Assistant Director in the student affairs department (doing event planing). I was really close with the Director and went in to her office bawling that I was going to have to drop out of school bc my dad lost his job and we couldnt pay my tuition anymore. Ileft pretty abruptly so I wouldn't let the cat out of the bag. A few hours later she called me to tell me that she had spoken to the Director of Financial Aid and gotten me additional scholarship money. OMG. That went a little further than I had planned and I kinda felt bad that all these higher ups at the school were pulling strings for my practical joke. Luckily, everyone thought it was funny and I didn't get in trouble with anyone!

I'm just a lurker, trying to post more often.  Last year my cousin posted a picture of her brother's dog on Craigslist saying "purebred lab puppy - free to good home" along with his work number.  He got calls all day long from people wanting to adopt his dog, lol.

Today after picking up E from school, she asked if we could put Radio Disney on instead of my station.

E: Can we listen to Radio Disney.
Me: Oh E, I have bad news!! Radio Disney is going off the air tonight and becoming a news radio station!!
E: (sadly she howled) "OHHHHHHHH! NOOOOOOOOO!"
Me: (evil smirk) April Fools!
E: Good one!

Thus far my best joke happened last night. I told H I was pregnant (he was blissfully unaware that it was the 1st), complete with crying and the "what are we going to do?!"

His reaction was actually better than the joke itself. "What? This is terrible! This is the worst thing that could ever happen to us! This is all your stupid IUD's fault." etc. etc. Finally, he calms down and says "well it's going to be hell on you with you being pregnant." I said "yeah, that's why it's a good thing I'm not pregnant." The relief on his face....lol
