If you do too many of these you're almost guaranteeing that people will thing you're a complete psycho, but one or two probably couldn't hurt. Learning psychological facts or ways to mess with people likely won't make you more adept at navigating social situations than actually talking to people earnestly, but these are at least fun.

Honestly impressed with how far these kids take their pranks. Poor Dad never stood a chance!
Not even gonna lie: I was helpless to not gain a flood of devious inspiration from some of these well-executed texting pranks. Is it just me or is it possibly a dangerous reality that we have April Fool's Day on a Saturday this year. First we survived St. Paddy's Day on a Friday, which was a genuine display of booze-soaked debauchery. And now we have THIS! What about all the hungover tired souls recovering from Friday that are functioning at minimal brain capacity and highly vulnerable to being destroyed by an April Fool's Day prank centered on tricking them into thinking it's Friday....and they're very much so late for work.
