1. Refer to your roommate using terms of endearment such as sweet cheeks and honey buns.
2. Pretend to take whilst pretending to be asleep on the sofa.
3. Ask your roommate if your family could move in for a couple of weeks and pretend its true for a few days.
4. Impersonate a film character for the day, for example Forest Gump.
5. When the phone rings, get up and answer the door.
6. When someone knocks on the door, get up and answer the phone.
7. Tell your roommate that someone called for them whilst they were out but say you can’t remember who or what they wanted.
8. Every time that you wake up, start screaming “Where am I?” and run around your room for a few minutes, then return to bed.
9. Buy a Jack in the Box and every day turn the handle until the clown pops out, when it does; scream around continuously for ten minutes.
10. Smile… all the time.
11. Make a sandwich, but instead of eating it, leave it on the kitchen floor.  When your roommate throws it in the bin, ask them where it is and complain loudly that’s how you liked your sandwiches and how hungry you are.
12. Scatter stuffed toys  around the room with party hats on and play loud music.  When the roommate walks in, turn off the music, take off the party hats and starting putting the toys away saying it was fun while it lasted.
13. Every time you take a shower, scream “I’m Melting! I’m Melting!”
14. Take the mechanism out of a musical greetings card and place it underneath a rug or carpet, so whenever your roommate walks on it, it activates the sound.
15. Use a small piece of black tape to block the SKY remote sensor so when your roommate wants to watch TV, they can’t change the channel.

Playing pranks on housemates can be fun, so we thought that we would put together some of the funnier house share prank clips we saw in 2008, maybe you could use them as ideas but be careful if you do as we can’t be held responsible if anything goes wrong!

Feel free to let us know about your best flatshare pranks also…

Enjoy…

These are just a couple of our favourite housemate pranks from last year.  Let us know what you think or if you have any other great (and funny) ideas!

For some reason, when people get drunk, it is the ideal time to try those things that you never would sober, or just generally do the most insane and crazy (but sometimes funny, or cringe-worthy)  things.  Here’s our top ten of true drunken incidents in no particular order…

Sleeping in the Wrong Room

One drunken student living in halls of residence got the lift to the wrong floor (in fairness, most university halls do look very similar floor to floor) but they  went to what they though was their room only to be woken up in the morning by several individuals asking who they hell they were!

Apologising to the Dogs

After one too many drinks, a housemate decided to get into the dog cage with their beloved canines to be later found by a more sober roommate, apologising to the dogs for their being drunk.

Stair Surfing

A team of drunken housemates found that the best way to entertain themselves was by removing the legs of an ironing board and to use it to slide down the stairs, only for the fun to end prematurely when they went straight into the front and pretty much ruined it.

Wetting the Bed

One very intoxicated flatmate, was sharing their single bed with their girlfriend only to be woken a few hours later by their girlfriend punching them to wake them up.  The poor culprit had passed out and wet themselves, their girlfriend and the bed… nice!

Brought Home Traffic Cones, Road Signs

Not to sure if this is exempt to housemates, but there have been many incidents of people walking home from the nightclub and picked up some souvenirs en route, namely traffic cones and roads signs, only for other housemates to wake up in the morning to find their house decorated like a road works site.

Large Water Bombs

One considerate roommate in halls decided to fill bin liners with water and throw them out of their window on other drunks walking past, nothing like a cold shower to sober you up!

Called an Ex

Needs no explaining, we’ve all been there!

Anything Round’s a Toilet

Rubbish bins, laundry baskets… they’ve been mistaken for urinals by many a housemate.

Snorting… Absinthe

A group of flatmates decided to have a party in their flatshare, nothing unusual here until they got out the Absinthe and decided to start snorting it.

Drunk Cinema Antics

A group of housemates thought that it would be nice to go out together to the cinema, however one over indulged with the alcohol in a nearby bar before they went into the cinema.  Whilst they were in there, this unfortunate housemate fell asleep, only to wake up (well, still in a daze) during the film and walked down a few rows and began pushing the wall as if it were a door, much to the amusement of those in the cinema.
