We say that we live in an organized society, but people still have a penchant for sinister pranks. And while it sucks to be pranked, holy crap does it feel good to revel in the glory of a successfully pulled off prank. Here are pranks, tricks, and goofs that people successfully dropped onto unsuspecting people's lives.

Almost everyone likes pranking, but no one likes being pranked. It's one of those fundamental problems that comes with messing with your friends. Sometimes smart employees prank bad customers, sometimes customers try and fail to prank employees. Sometimes people realized they've been pranked, but they don't realize they're on live television.
We can't advocate speeding or lying to the police, or even deploying fart spray in your own car, but that's just what this guy is claiming to have done. Seems like it's not quite worth the price of making your car smell like the furious ghosts of a thousand asses. For more stories about people who skirted rules, here are loopholes that clever folks exploited.

Skaters typically don't like it when random strangers yell at them to do tricks. This time around skateboarding legend and man-of-our-childhood Tony Hawk did it, partly to see some talent, and partly to see if anyone would recognize him.
This feels like a mean thing to do, but at the same time the seller did lay out his policy from the get-go. Man shoulda read the description. Not sure if this kind of practice should be standard, it's kind of time-consuming and awful, but them's the breaks. To see a baffling amount of entitlement, check out these choosing beggars who thought the world was their ATM.
If you find some nice boots on amazon for 3 dollars, you should half expect to get a picture of boots mailed to your house. This stuff is either ridiculously small, a completely shoddy version of what was advertised, or just something totally different entirely. For some more amazon shenanigans, here are some fantastically funny and creative reviews.
Not many images have the kind of mind-stopping power as a brain-confounding image of skewed perspective. These real-life optical illusions will give your eyes a workout they didn't ask for. And if you want to see more misleading images to make you double-take, then check these out.
Something of a viral movement has been in motion, centered on freezing people in the midwest or really anywhere cold enough in the world, to toss a cup of water into the extremely cold air and watch it fall back to earth looking like snow. In this case, we have a clever woman in the UK, trolling the movement with a take of her own. Things go hilariously terribly.
He just cut into a slice of reality on this one.
This is like the unexpected, yet entirely appreciated sequel to that other time a woman used her photoshop powers to troll her unsuspecting into thinking there was a damn coyote in the vicinity. Gotta give the guy in this particular scenario some solid bonus points for trying to keep things fresh and fun, but maybe he should tone it down a little bit for fear of pushing his very clearly stressed and busy wife to the point of no return...
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.
