Evil PranksAs a student Joel Veitch attached a hose from the sink into my bed. I slowly woke thinking I'd pissed myself. I had the last laugh though. He had to pay for my ruined mattress.
What's the most evil prank you've ever played on someone?

In the heady world of Foreign Language Teachingit's considered bad form just to photocopy some old coursebook and dish it out to the students. But we all do it now and again, because photocopies are cheaper than paying the 10 quid a book the publishers demand.
One sheet of acetate and a quick go on the secretary's printer, I found it was possible to stick a thin transparent sheet onto the photocopier with tiny text printed on the lower edge. This text would be reproduced on every single photocopy made, until someone noticed the acetate.
Which nobody did. For about a month. After I'd printed "RECEIVED A PHOTOCOPY? CALL THE COPYRIGHT BREACH HOTLINE NOW!" followed by my bosses phone number.
He still gets the odd phone call from some vigilante student's mother three years later. Still doesn't know why though, hur hur hur.
