Some April Fool's Day Pranks are funny - others might get you arrested (or worse)!

Happy April Fool’s Day Everybody! I’m not much of a prankster by nature, but I know some people will certainly be pulling a few pranks today so I decided to create a post all about pranks NOT to pull. There’s quite a few pranks that even though they may appear to be slightly harmless can actually have some pretty devastating consequences. There’s plenty of pranks gone wrong plastered all over the internet. So, here’s my list of bad ideas for April Fool’s Day Pranks.

1. Tell Your Partner You’re Cheating On Them: I have no idea why anyone would think this would be a good prank to tell someone you’ve been cheating on them, but this video clip below shows you exactly how this one can backfire on you:

2. Prank Call the Cops: Yes, people have really thought it would be funny to prank call the cops. Until they end up getting caught and arrested of course. Keep the police out of it my friends. For that matter, don’t think about the fire department, emergency services, or any other authority type figures you can think of.

3. Pretending to Run People Over: Of course you don’t plan on really running anybody over of course. BUT…you shouldn’t even pretend to do it. People can get seriously hurt!

4. Anything Involving Fireworks, Flames, Smoke Bomb, Fires: Unless getting arson charges is your goal, you’re probably best to avoid any of these marvelous ideas as well!

5. Photocopying Your Butt: Most offices do have security cameras, so you’ll likely get in trouble. Even if you don’t get in trouble…well, you might end up like this guy:

6. Tampering With Mail Boxes: Doing anything with a mailbox is a federal offense. Don’t go there! Though it would be a good day to deal with all that junk mail you’ve been getting.

7. Messing With People’s Food: Well, you could probably do some harmless things, like make a cake with salt…but for the most part with just about everybody anymore having food allergies you probably don’t want to mess with people’s food either. You don’t want to make them sick or worse not be able to breathe and have to be rushed to the emergency room! It’s also not cool to mix non-food things with food – not worth the risks of poisoning your friends.

8. Creating Mass Panic: This is another bad idea. You don’t want hundreds or thousands of people in a panic about a bunch of nonsense. Be careful you Twitter addicts with lots of followers!

9. Giving People False Hope: It’s just not nice to make someone think something good is going to happen, and then it doesn’t. How would you feel if I told you I was going to send all of my subscribers $20…and then didn’t. It wouldn’t even be funny.

10. Do the Same Pranks As Everybody Else: Last April Fool’s day just about every blogger out there said they were selling their blog. Or something along those lines. It was pretty lame when you see it over and over again. Be creative! If you can’t think of anything good, just do what I did and write a lame post about bad ideas for April Fool’s Day. At least that way fewer people will do stupid things hopefully. :)
