This would be one of the most confusing pranks to pull on someone. Imagine driving to work in the morning and having everyone say hi to you.

Your first thought would be wondering how you became so popular, and the second would be trying to figure out if you know any of them, which you don't, so then you feel bad.

Does anyone really know where April Fools Day came from? Many experts believe that it began after the shift from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar in the 1500s.

People would get mocked if they didn't know about the switch and would still follow the old calendar. Yawn.

A lot of respect goes out of the people who decided to take the time to do this. Moving furniture through a window cannot be an easy task. Moving, in general, is probably the worst thing in the world.

If this was my room, just to avoid the physical burden of getting my bedroom back together, I would just sleep on the roof.

This is a simple prank you can pull on Jenny from HR without having to worry about getting fired. Jenny has already called Alfredo from IT to come fix her mouse three times only to find out that she's been duped.

This is an SFW prank that is doable on your crush. It won't completely ruin your chances for a first date which many of the other ones on this list might.

So this is just straight up blasphemy. There's no better feeling than when you're about to indulge your taste buds in caramel goodness. On the contrary, there is no worse feeling than wanting to indulge in caramel goodness and actually getting a mouthful of onion.

I wouldn't just be tearing up because I'd be cutting onions, I'd literally be crying in disappointment.

This Is Just Rude

There's nothing more refreshing than a nice cold glass of orange juice in the morning. A close second would be thinking you're drinking OJ and then actually getting a mouthful of Kraft Dinner powder.

This is a perfect prank for that one son that keeps talking back. You don't want to hurt him, but you want to get a point across.

Is there a better condiment in the world than mayo? The answer is no. You can literally put it on anything. Celery? Yes. Burgers? Yes. Hot dog? Yes. Actual dog? Yes.

ADVERTISEMENT

This is the perfect prank for any of your annoying co-workers who love mayo (everyone). It's easy and it will ensure that they don't have their daily morning breath.

This is probably worse than Russian Roulette with a loaded gun. Bringing a full thing of donuts to work automatically puts you in the good books and gets everyone excited.

That's when you drop the bombshell on them that one of the jelly-filled donuts is completely filled with sriracha sauce. This won't deter donut eaters.

The only thing worse than a spicy donut is a mustard filled chocolate bunny. While mayo is the best confident because it can go on anything, mustard is the worst because it can't.

Mustard is good for one thing and that's the garbage. People who put mustard on their burgers or sausages have actual issues and need to be psychiatrically evaluated.

I don't care if this is my dream house and I just bought the darn thing. If I find this message under the carpet, I am packing up and heading out of the country.

There's no scenario that would involve me even staying in the same state as this house. This is the perfect prank — also it's very cold hearted but that's okay because it's very well thought out.

The perfect last day of being a senior in high school prank. What's great is that when the Principal inevitably wants to chase after you, they won't be able to without giving the janitor a panic attack.

These cups are all filled to the brim with water and it would take some very slow, and careful steps to make sure that you don't knock any of these over.

Mentos and Pepsi is the cheapest scientific experiment around. Every elementary school science class has seen this done. The result isn't surprising unless you are wanting to actually drink the Pepsi in peace.

NEVER Mix These

Rule one of eating candy is that you never mix Skittles with Reeces and M&Ms. Why? Well, because unlike peanut butter and jelly, they don't go well together. The combination doesn't give you that sweet and salty taste you might be craving.

There's no worse candy combination that would confuse your taste buds more than this bowl right here.

Jell-NO

Imagine waking up to go to school (which you already don't want to do) and find yourself in this situation. All they wanted was some cereal and to be out the door but now they have to dig into the Jell-O.

ADVERTISEMENT

Jell-O has a bizarre texture and it stains, so getting those glasses clean before school is going to be a tough ask.

Lather Up

So basically, this prank is a bit of a double-edged sword. On one hand, putting nail polish on the soap is funny because it won't lather no matter how hard you try.

ADVERTISEMENT

On the other hand, you're now going to have to deal with a person who smells really bad because they couldn't use the soap. In my humble opinion, it's worth the struggle but to each their own.

There aren't many ways to make Steve Buscemi look less creepy than he already is, and putting him in family portraits certainly isn't one of them.

It's a simple prank that will have your mom howling in anger. She's the only one who actually notices when pictures are moved or tampered with.

Birthdays On April Fools Day Can't Be Fun

It's up in the air as to whether it's beneficial to have your birthday fall on a big holiday like Christmas. You get double the presents I guess, but there's nothing good that comes out of having your birthday on April Fools Day.

You've unintentionally set yourself up to be pranked in the worst ways possible. One of the worst ways possible is to feel the bliss of getting a birthday cake made just for you, only to find out it's actually just dish sponges with icing.

Putting those mini poppers under the seat is a great way to become homeless really quick.

You've probably heard of flying saucers, but have you heard about the flying sausages prank? It's easy, uncomfortable and bizarre all in one.

ADVERTISEMENT

Even though they are just raw sausages it feels weird to bump into any of them and you'll do anything you possibly can to avoid it. You can turn any room into that scene from Mission Impossible with the lasers staggering across a hallway, minus the lasers, of course.

This is one way to ensure that you don't have to work that day. Fill your boss's office with 200,000 balloons. Not because you like him or her, but because you want to get fired and not have to worry about giving your two weeks notice.

Also, can we talk about how much time someone spent blowing up all of those balloons?
