My highschool calculus teacher told us about this one. :)

Bah! Oldest trick in the book. ;) University of Texas has one of these... like 40' in diameter. Talk about the damage you can do around that area!! :D

I'd still do it though. :)

I can't believe no one has mentioned pennying doors yet. If your dorms have narrow hallways, get a buddy to push as hard as he can on the victims door (using the opposite wall to brace himself) anywhere there isn't a hinge or latch; this should flex the door away from the frame maybe a centimeter or so. Wedge a stack of pennies in each bit of the door you can flex and hopefully this will effective jam the latch via all the pressure on it. Your victim is now trapped and may be extorted at your leisure in exchange for his/her release. :D

haha, I heard of someone doing that to a buddy of mine... unfortunately the retard leaned way too hard on the door, the hinges broke and it collapsed into the room... freakin hilarious... lol

but, using this technique you can effectively immobilize an entire floor of students... or an RA for a few hours ;)

First half of my freshman year I lived with THE most hated guy around. I moved across the during second semester where we concocted a plan to "can" my ex-roomate in. We had a huge party one weekend, and during the middle of the night stacked 158 beer cans vertically in front of his door. Then behind the beer cans we taped a big sheet of plastic (to ensure that the cans would fall into the room) that had a sign on it that said "stop being such an arrogant fvckhead." While we were doing this, word got around the dorm, and about 50 people flooded the hall to watch the event. Right after we finished, people started yelling for him to come out, but he was afraid to do so. At about 4:00 am, however, I was woken by the sound of hundreds of crashing beer cans. ;) My RA found out about it (he was away while it happened) but looked the other way, because he detested the guy we canned as well!

Putting urine in freezers? You people are some sick fvcks.

That is probably why I've got my own refrigerator and don't use the communal one on my floor :p

That's what I came in for. :)

When I went to OSU, the doors were so heavy that if you pennied someone into their room and they managed to get their doorhinge pins out (without getting smashed by the door!) it would take a couple of people to get the door back up and into place! :D

fill the room with cups and connect each cup by stapling them all together. fill the cups with water. He HAS to move ALL of the cups with water and it will spill



I read this somewhere awhile back, so I'm not sure if this is exactly it.

interesting concept...
i bet this would take quite a long time, and filling the cups would be very tedious

Clean a toilet seat REALLY REALLY REALLY good, take a chocolate bar and melt it for a little bit. The you spred the chocolate on the seat and go tell your roomate what someone left there. He would be all grossed out, then you take a finger, wipe some off, and eat it. Funnest crap in the world (helps with 2 other guys to pretend to be disgusted too)

this one is awesome. very subtle and sneaky. you could keep doing it to the person and they'd have no idea what's going on :p

I was going to mention penny locking :)

Some others that I've witnessed as an RA...

1. Light a pair of sweatpants on fire and throw them under sombodies door

2. Spray lighter fluid all over somebodies door, knock on it, and then light it on fire as they are opening it

3. Take a piece of twine and tie it onto a door knob, and then run down to the next door and tie it on there as well. You have to pull it really tight, and if you do, you can successfully lock in two people at once.

That is one of the funniest pranks I have ever heard of. I wish I lived in the dorms so I could pull this off.

there was this kid on my floor no one really like, lived right next to me infact. someone put up a trashcan full of water up against his door, no one bother to move it the whole night. eventually at like 3 am i am awoken by the sound of sloshing water, a door slamming and muffled curses beyond the wall, it was way too funny.

another trick is to tie a long cloth or something to a door knob, then tie the other end to the door knob across the hall... this is best done early in the morning before people get up to classes.

a more elaborate water trick involved some cardboard and a cup of water, but when the person opens up the door it poors all over them.

another trick is to sneak into someones room with some people when they're sleeping with a large flashlight and a siren if possible. find your victim and on the count of 3 turn on the siren, flash the light directly into the victims face and have everyone tugging on the person yelling "HOLY F-CKIN SH-T THERE'S A FIRE !!!! WAKE UP WAKE UP!!! "

a solo mission is to sneak into a drunk kids room, sneak under his bed when he's passed out. then look over and sock him in the face and sneak back under. keep doing this until they get up in a terrible fit of confusion.

there's also the infamouse toilet paper raid. have a team sneak around on a floor and gank all the toilet paper on the floor. we had this done to us twice, but it was pretty funny.

The penny trick is good too. The dorm door has to pen outward. You stick a penny in the gap between the door and the jamb and watch as they can't get out of their room for a few hours :D

<edit>
Whoops, guess I should read the whole thread first :D

here is one that I did and is funny as hell.

Shopping List:

1. Box of Rubbers (cheap ones)
2. bottle of Soft Soap (soap you wash your hands with if you dont know)


directions:

1. Take out rubbers and unroll them
2. Pump about 3-4 squirts of the soft soap into the rubber


The Crime:

1. Find the victim(s) room
2. Place rubber over doorknob

The fun:

be close by when they get home and see the present on the door and after the cussing watch them try figure out how to get it off with out touching it. :D
