We were in Costco about a month ago. There was a Christmas display of jumping Tiggers, about a display of 5 high and 4 width. We raced to press ALL their arms to set them off so that they we all jumping at the same time. You had to be there.

My very first bike rally saw me starting a 'Madness walk' around the marquee to the sounds of Ska music. Ex hubby thought I was demented but it got those hardened rockers off their arses and joining in conga-style :giggle:
Ahhhhhhh … practical jokes. Takes me back to the days before I became a serious professional type.
One or two golden oldies spring to mind (for the legal reasons I must state that all these happened at least 20 years ago).
On a Sunday walk (pub to pub) with group of friends and we came across a VW beetle broken down on the roadside (King Street West/ Greek Street area of Stockport if that helps anybody) …. So obviously we picked it up and carried it 20 metres up the road and onto a large traffic island (raised about 2 feet and bedecked in various blooms). The owners face was a picture when he got back …. but the police didn’t see the funny side and one of our number was arrested for breach of the peace!! (Mind you they did have to shut four roads off and bring in a crane to get the car off)
Going even further back; when TV remote first became available they were all infra red and one would work on most other TVs …. I used to take ours in to town and watch the staff in the TV shops running around as I changed channels, raised the volume etc on all their TVs in unison.
Living in an area with terraced houses that fronted onto the pavement provided an opportunity for the next one … on the night of a really good film (when we all only had 3 TV channels) my friend and I would go stalking and where we found a house with the coaxial on prominent view we would listen (or watch through the window) until the said film was about t reach a climax and then cut a section of the cable so the TV went off … we obviously took a section out to stop a simple sticky type repair.
Lastly and although I was not party to this one I must mention it …. Exchange Square in Manchester …water feature with running water …. Some bright spark with a bottle or two of bubble bath = pavements full of bubbles. Brilliant in its simplicity.
…. did I mention the Morris dancers and the eggs???
At school a friend had one of those watches that worked the TV, vey popular at one point. During lessons whilst watching any number of films he would change the channel or play with the volume. All of this the amazement of a non suspecting teacher. Engineer was called on numerous occasions until they realized it only happened when during our class.
Went on for months tho.....
Once a neighbour had just had new double glazing etc etc and was bragging how secure it all was and it would be impossible to get in blah blah blah (you know the type?) Well while he was busy bragging across the road I nipped over and (the door was open at the time) took the front door off the hinges and tucked it up nicely in his bed!!
His face was a picture for hours....
