backfired
this is slightly off topic but it does involve pranks.

O.k i have worked for a mobile phone retailer for about 3 years now. My team are a mixed group aging between 19 and 37 and to keep us entertained and away from hoards of zombie like british public we started to regularly play pranks on each other, all ranging from the simple (changing mobile numbers in their mobile's such as replacing mum with girlfriend - great prank itself) to the more elaborate.
However the one that stuck and was repeated over and over again like some kind of groundhog day loop was the simple 'Boo! game'.

the rules of the game were simple - to hide at any given opportunity and jump out screaming BOOO! as loud as possible while occasionally recording the event on video to later show to everyone else.

anyway on the day this tale relates too a collegue of mine had gone up the stairs to send a fax or take a dump or something and i took the chance to play our popular game, i crouched down(better scare) at the corner behind the stairs sniggering like a school girl when i hear the footsteps coming down the stairs.

I leap out and scream "BOOOOOOOAAAAHHHHRRRGGHHH!!!"

sounds all innocent enough the only problem being my area manager had came in unknown to me and it was he i leaped at like some murderous ninja.....how i managed to talk my way out of that i'll never know!
