I’m not interested in “pranks” where someone is victimised, harmed, or upset.

Tell me the funniest harmless pranks where everyone involved can laugh and nobody feels bad.

    I hide gold coins (but you could use any kind of fun token). Who doesn’t like a finding a gold coin?

    It started when I used to do leprechaun cosplay. When you do that, you inevitably will get asked where your gold is hidden, so I got a bunch of cheap plastic coins to hand out when I got “caught”, or to “drop” if chased. For the heck of it I started slipping them in my friends’ bags and costumes while they were out.

    Eventually this lead to hiding them in peoples homes when I visit, and reverse pickpocketing friends: pockets, purses, hoods in winter so they will fall out when they flip them up to go outside.

    I think my biggest get was slipping one into a theater director’s shirt pocket while they were talking to someone else. And the biggest surprise might have been one I put in an attic hatch so that it fell out when they went to pull the ladder down months later.
