- Just use construction paper to make some realistic looking bug cutouts and fool your roommate into thinking your apartment has become infested with giant bugs. This one works the best when it comes to those who are squeamish to insects and spiders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- If you know someone who still has a wired or wireless mouse connected to their computer, print out a small funny picture and tape it over the sensor. Watching them try to use the mouse and eventually flipping it over is the best part.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Why not bring in some cheap doughnuts for your co-workers or even your Economics study group. No one can resist a good jelly filled doughnut, except you are the only one that knows they were filled with ketchup<\/strong> right before. This one is a little more cynical, but everyone gets a chuckle when you join in on the fun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- \n
- Post-it notes are the best and never get the recognition they deserve. Why not take some colors and spice up your best friend\u2019s boring colored car? Nothing is more alarming than coming out to a glammed out car. Bonus points if you can cover the whole thing and use window markers!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- \n
- Is your friend still asleep in their room? Take some streamers, plastic wrap, or newspaper and cover their entire door frame. Extra points if you fill the gap between the door and the paper with ping pong balls or other objects to give them a full surprise when they finally crawl out of bed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
