Cruelest Practical Joke You've Ever Witnessed? — Page 2

When I was younger I was extremely claustrophobic - still am, to a certain degree - and I was taking a cooking class [along with photography and film] at a program for "gifted" kids. At one point it was BOILING hot and my friend Mary and I, along with another boy, stepped into the walk-in freezer for about ten seconds to cool off. The other kid started freaking out, saying that we were locked inside the freezer.

Needless to say, it was honestly traumatizing, particularly because the first day we were told exactly what to do if we found ourselves locked in, and I couldn't remember a word of that lecture.

When I was a little kid my parents were over-protective. I don't remember how old I was, maybe 8, but it was the first time my parents let me stay home by myself. I opened our front door a crack, put our dining room table and a chair on its side, spilled a box of Cheerios on the floor, and went upstairs to my mom's jewelry box and took everything out and put it in one of my shoes in my closet.

I then took a crayon and wrote a note on the front door saying "give me money or he won't come back."

I fell asleep in the living room watching TV and when my parents returned home that night, I didn't exactly get the reaction I wanted. Instead of them being scared they were angry I made such a mess so I spent the night vacuuming the entire house and cleaning my mess.

CapnHook, that was hilarious! What I would have given to have been there at the precise moment when you awoke after your parents walked in the door, the "ransom note" gripped tightly in one of their hands, only to discover your sleeping form in the living room. The image tickles me.

BTW: Why did they make you vacuum the entire house if you only made a mess in the dining room?
