Messing With Minds: Legal Ways To Prank People

Getting revenge on someone can be sweet, but it's important to remember to keep things legal. While it may be tempting to go down the route of property damage or physical violence, these actions are illegal and will only result in your own imprisonment. Instead, consider passive-aggressive methods such as ignoring the person or cutting them out of your life. Alternatively, you could take legal action if the situation warrants it, or undermine their efforts to embarrass you by proving them wrong. If you do decide to stoop to their level, make sure your pranks are merely irritating and never illegal or physically harmful. For example, you could send them anonymous letters or texts, post their contact information in public places, or leave them a disgusting gift. Just remember that revenge is never pretty and is usually not worth it.

Send them a single slice of Kraft cheese in an unmarked envelope every day

If you're looking for a way to mess with someone without breaking the law, sending them a single slice of Kraft cheese in an unmarked envelope every day could be an option. Here's how you can execute this prank:

Step 1: Purchase Kraft Singles

Kraft Singles are individually wrapped slices of processed cheese manufactured and sold by Kraft Heinz. You can find them at most grocery stores or online. Each slice is wrapped separately, making it easy to send just one slice in an envelope.

Step 2: Prepare the envelope

Use a regular, unmarked envelope, preferably plain and without any identifying information. Place a single slice of Kraft cheese inside the envelope, being careful not to damage the slice or the packaging. Seal the envelope securely.

Step 3: Address the envelope

Address the envelope to your target, writing their name and address clearly. You can add a return address if you want, but using an unmarked envelope ensures your target won't know it's from you unless you want them to.

Step 4: Mail the envelope

Take the sealed envelope to your local post office or mailbox and mail it to your target. You can choose to send it via regular mail or priority mail, depending on how quickly you want it to arrive. Repeat this process daily or as frequently as you like.

Step 5: Enjoy the confusion

Your target will likely be confused and intrigued by the mysterious cheese slices arriving in their mail. This prank is harmless but will definitely get under their skin, especially if they have no idea who is sending them cheese!

Remember, while this prank is meant to be lighthearted and fun, always respect your target's boundaries and stop if they ask you to. It's important to maintain a balance between harmless pranking and respecting someone's privacy and wishes.

Leave a glitter bomb in their car

Glitter bombs are a fun and harmless way to mess with someone. They can be especially effective if you want to mess with someone's car, as glitter is very difficult to remove and will be a constant reminder of your prank. Here's a step-by-step guide to creating and executing your glitter bomb plan:

Step 1: Gather your supplies

You will need:

• A container (such as a cardboard tube, balloon, or peanut shell)
• Glitter in various colours
• Hot glue gun and sticks
• String or twine
• Beads
• Tissue paper
• Cardstock or construction paper
• Scissors
• Funnel
• Optional: paint and paintbrushes, confetti, ribbons, helium tank

Step 2: Prepare the container

If using a cardboard tube, cut a tissue paper square that covers one end of the tube. Trace the end of the tube onto card stock and cut out a circle. Glue the card stock circle to the centre of the tissue paper square and let it dry. Puncture the centre of the circle and thread string through the hole, tying a bead to one end. This will be your trapdoor mechanism.

If using a balloon, simply insert a funnel through the neck and pour in the desired amount of glitter. You can also add confetti by cutting tissue paper into small circles, folding them, and poking them through the neck of the balloon with the funnel.

If using a peanut shell, carefully crack open the peanuts with scissors and remove the nuts. Keep the shell halves together, as you will fill them with glitter and glue them back together.

Step 3: Fill the container with glitter

If using a cardboard tube, attach the trapdoor mechanism to one end of the tube by gluing the edges of the tissue paper to the sides. Decorate the tube with construction paper, foil, or ribbons. Fill the tube with glitter, leaving some space at the top. Add a cone-shaped top made from card stock, and attach a string for hanging.

If using a balloon, blow it up with your mouth or inflate it with helium. Tie off the neck or add a ribbon, and wait at least an hour before using it to allow the static electricity to pull the glitter along the sides.

If using a peanut shell, fill one half with glitter and glue the halves back together. You can also paint the exterior of the shell and mix glitter into the paint for extra sparkle.

Step 4: Deploy the glitter bomb

Place your glitter bomb in your target's car. If using the cardboard tube, pull the string to release the trapdoor and unleash the glitter. If using a balloon, pop it with a pin or needle. If using a peanut shell, instruct your target to crack open the shell with their hands.

Warnings and tips:

• Always ask for permission before deploying a glitter bomb, especially if you are indoors or in someone else's property.
• Be careful not to get glitter in anyone's eyes.
• Clean up any glitter spills and use a lint roller to remove glitter from clothing.
• Do not use glitter bombs for malicious purposes or as a form of revenge.
• Be creative and adapt the design to fit your needs. For example, you can include other small items inside the container, such as confetti or even a stinky spray!

Move their furniture when they're not looking

Moving someone's furniture when they're not looking is a great way to mess with them without breaking the law. Here are some ideas to get you started:

The Slow Burn

Every time you visit your target's home, move one piece of furniture a few inches. If they don't notice, repeat the process each time you visit, moving the furniture further and further from its original position. This will confuse and frustrate your target as they try to figure out why their furniture never seems to be in the right place.

The Overnight Switch

If you're feeling bold, wait until your target is asleep and then sneak into their home. Carefully move all their furniture to completely different spots. They'll wake up to a strange and disorienting environment, wondering what happened while they slept.

The Reverse

For an even more chaotic scene, try turning all the furniture around so that it faces the opposite direction. This includes large appliances like the fridge, which will be especially disconcerting. Your target will feel like they've stepped into a parallel universe!

The Disappearing Act

Take it a step further by completely removing the furniture from the room. Hide it in a different part of the house or cover it with a sheet. When your target wakes up, they'll be left scratching their head, trying to figure out where their belongings went.

The Mix-Up

For a less drastic option, switch the furniture between two rooms. For example, swap the living room and dining room furniture. This will leave your target wondering why their couch is now where the dining table should be and vice versa!

Remember, the key to this prank is subtlety and timing. Make sure you have unobstructed access to your target's home and wait until they are asleep or away. With a bit of planning and stealth, you can create a very confusing situation for your target, all without breaking any laws!

Send them a box of hair loss treatment

Sending someone a box of hair loss treatment is a harmless prank that can be quite effective if you're looking to mess with someone without breaking the law. Here are some ideas to execute this prank successfully:

Choosing the Right Treatment

Firstly, you'll need to select the hair loss treatment you want to send. Opt for a product that is designed to be rubbed onto the scalp, as these typically don't require shaving and can be used discreetly. Look for treatments marketed towards Black men who want to avoid shaving bumps. These products are designed to dissolve hair, so they'll be quite effective in your prank.

Preparing the Package

When you have the treatment, you can prepare the package. You might want to disguise your handwriting if the recipient knows it well. You could also use a fake return address to make it seem more legitimate. Consider including a fake letter from a doctor or a medical center to add an extra layer of realism. Perhaps suggest that the treatment is a sample of a new product they are willing to try.

Sending the Package

Now, you can send the package. If you live with the recipient or have easy access to their mailbox, you can simply drop it off yourself. Otherwise, you might need to hire a courier service to deliver it anonymously. Make sure the recipient is home when the package arrives to increase the chances of them opening it promptly.

Executing the Prank

Once the package is delivered, your prank is almost complete. You can choose to reveal the truth at any time, but the longer you wait, the more effective the prank may be. If you want to take it a step further, you can combine this prank with others, such as signing them up for a mailing list for hair loss treatments. This will really drive the point home!

Remember, while pranks can be fun, it's important to stay within legal boundaries and avoid causing any harm. Always consider the potential consequences of your actions and respect people's boundaries.

Send anonymous letters, phone calls or texts

Sending anonymous letters, making anonymous phone calls, or sending anonymous texts can be a way to mess with someone without breaking the law. Here are some detailed instructions on how to do it:

Anonymous Letters

When sending a letter, you don't have to include a return address. However, leaving one off could be suspicious. The term "anonymous mail" in the context of the US postal system refers to items weighing over 10 oz and/or greater than 1/2" thick without prepaid postage (tracking information). If you buy postage online or pay for it at the post office, your letter will not be considered "anonymous mail".

Anonymous Phone Calls

There are several ways to make an anonymous phone call:

• Dial 67 before the number you want to call. This will block your caller ID, and your number will appear as "Private Number" or "Unknown Caller" on the recipient's phone. This method works on most landlines and mobile phones in the US.
• Disable your caller ID in your phone's settings. This will prevent your phone number from appearing on the recipient's phone. You can do this on iPhones, Android devices, and Windows Phones.
• Use a prepaid phone, often called a "burner phone". These phones are available without a contract and user identification, and you can dispose of them once you've used up the credit.
• Call from a payphone. Payphones are becoming increasingly rare, but you can still find them in some public spaces. The recipient will only see the payphone's number, not yours.

Anonymous Texts

To send an anonymous text, you'll need to use a third-party service, such as a VoIP service, an app, or a website. Here are some options:

• Use a VoIP service or app, which will assign you a virtual phone number that isn't connected to your identity. Google Voice, for example, offers unlimited SMS texting in the US, along with voice calling from a virtual number.
• Download an anonymous texting app such as Burner, TextFree, Text Me, or TextNow. These apps allow you to pick your own VoIP number and "burn" it when you're done.
• Use a website that provides anonymous texting services, either for free or for a small cost. However, be cautious as some of these websites might be geared towards nefarious uses or might not be secure.
