Halloween Tricks You Can Play on Someone

Tell them it’s their baby.

Kidnap their family. And their pets.

Say that you’ll be at their party, no question. Then don’t show up.

Tell someone they look ugly. “Oh, come on, I was just kidding. But not really.”

Invite them to a movie. Then take them to one they don’t want to see.

Ignore them for no reason. When they confront you about it, pretend like you don’t know what they’re talking about. Then keep doing it.

Steal things from them.

If they go to an ice cream store every week, find out what their favorite flavor is. Then, right before they go there, buy all their favorite flavor up and throw it away. They won’t get any ice cream!

If something is wrong, and they ask, “Is something wrong?” Say “No.” Then, if they ask, “Really? It seems like something is wrong,” say “No. Everything’s fine.”

Kick them at inappropriate times.

Eat the last cookie, even if they haven’t had one yet.

When you’re going out to pick up lunch, don’t ask them if they want anything. If they see you bring lunch back and mention that they wanted something, don’t apologize. Just say you couldn’t find them earlier, even though you could.

Slap them in the face. When they confront you about it, pretend like you don’t know what they’re talking about. Then keep doing it.

Ask them, in passing, what their social security number is. When they tell you (you may have to earn their trust), use it to empty their bank account and buy a ticket to the Caymans. Suckers. They should have given you some candy.
