My FHE brothers, who practically live at my apartment, had left one night for curfew, or so we had thought. They closed the door and my roommate and I went in the back of the apartment and then came back out to the living room a few minutes later. Just as we were relaxing on the couch, Chris and Lance burst through the door with snow in their hands. Chris gets me, putting snow all over me. Lance got Camille and the couch as well. We both started to get them back. After we chased them out, we texted them telling them we were going to get them back "ten times over" for the snow attack. They didn't believe us...bad move.
I had the brilliant plan of "Popcorning" them. For those of you who don't know what this is...let me explain. What you do is pop a lot of popcorn then when everyone is in the house or apartment you tape up the door with a garbage bag leaving a space of about 5-6 inches between the door and the bag. You fill this with popcorn so in the morning they open the door and ALL the popcorn falls into their apartment. Yes, it takes forever to pop it all. And Yes, It makes a HUGE!!! mess. But it was super funny!!!
The night of April Fools we popped it all. It took us a good 2 1/2 to 3 hours to get it done and then went to see the guys. As we walked in, we noticed that Chris had just cleaned their ENTIRE living room. I started to feel really bad...I learned I'm not good at pranking. That night, well morning rather, at about 4:30 we went up to the guys apartment only to find one of them awake. Our plan had backfired, so we decided we'd do it the next night.
The next night we showed up at the same time only to find Brian awake playing video games. He hadn't heard us yet, so we decided to keep going. We taped up the bottom half of the door with masking tape. As we were about to start filling the door, it occured to me that there was a metal threshold. I told my roommates that he was going to hear it, but they said just keep going, so I did. Camille was the look out and as I started to dump the popcorn in slowly, all you could hear was "Ping, ping-ping-ping, ping" as the popcorn hit the metal. I was right...he heard. Camille takes off down the stairs, Erin ran down the hallway, and I was stuck there. He saw me and we asked him to let us keep doing it. He's a good sport so he let us. As we filled the door we realized the masking tape wasn't strong enough...we needed duct tape. I went to the window and said, "Brian? Do you have any duct tape...the masking tape isn't working." He said yes, and gave us it. Funny huh? We used their own stuff against them. What a good sport. That morning they woke up to popcorn and a sign that said, "GOOD MORNING GUYS!!!" It was funny, but I still felt bad that I had put them through that. I'm not a good pranker. As my roommate said, "You can't feel bad when you prank them! Nor are you supposed to help them clean up and make them brownies." (I offered to help clean, but never actually did. The brownies I really did make....sad huh?) But yes...that was my April Fools prank...fun stuff eh?
