Now granted some of his pranks are funny but it is just getting out of hand, now short of the ex-lax brownies (which is in the making), hair dye in the shower head and superglue in the Jergens bottle I'm fairly short on ideas of how to teach him a lesson, publicly, at work, and keep my job. So I am looking for suggestions of some good pranks (the more painful the better as long as they don't leave a permanent mark) that I can pull on this guy. Anything goes, I'll decide if it's too much, and the fact that I live with him opens it up for some stuff that wouldn't be acceptable at work (like the superglue wank). So let me have your best & most evil ideas. GO!
Well, placing a fresh turd or fish beneath his car seat is a traditional favorite, especially in warm weather. I've mentioned the following one in the past but nothing beats a good old fashioned junk mail campaign. You and some friends simply get together over beers and fill out those free postage paid postcards to send free information to him. Things like craftmatic adjustable beds, burpee seed catalogs, etc. Use his address, but make up disgusting firsr/middle names, like Hugh Sucke, Mike Rodick, d!ck Liquor, etc. You can even add faux company names for extra zings, like Smith Extra small condoms, or Eigot Herpes Corp., it's a fun group activity coming up with the names. Not that I've done this before, but you must spell the names so they'll evade the censors but still gets the message across, plus you should try to avoid sending more than one from the same firm as they have programs to catch those too. It's a win for everyone. It costs nothing to do; fun to come up with the names, the mailer makes money as they resell their mailing lists many times (which means it's a prank that keeps on giving), you get to see them arrive daily and can post them on the fridge, USPS gets extra business due to the postage, printers make money by printing extra copies of what ever is being printed, and it'll amuse your mailman who''ll begin calling your roommate by some of those names.
Other ideas include parking him in. for example, if he parks in a traditional parking lot, you get two people with beaters to park on either side of him inches from his doors, loosening his desk lamp, Vaseline on the steering wheel or shift knob, lower his office chair every morning and glue it at that spot, pebbles in his hubcaps, wetting his office chair (assuming it's fabric)
One of the best work pranks I witnessed was a retaliation for the 'ol wet seat trick. The victim (who worked for me) drove a VW Karmen Ghia with big chrome bumpers and the wet tushed prankster noticed the victim always parked nose in at the office, so he never looked at the front of his car. The wet tushed prankster (not me) then fabricated a sign that said "Gay Pride" and mounted it low on the homophobic victim's front bumper. He drove it a couple days that way, even mentioned to us chuckling coworkers how many people were honking their approval at him presumably about his snazzy car.. well, until he finally saw he sign.

The prankster got him a second time when I invited the victim to join me with some customers at a charity golf tournament. For reasons unknown, he brought his clubs into the office instead of transferring them from his car to mine in the parking lot. The opportunistic prankster, made up another "Gay Pride" sign out of paper, and duct taped it to the bottom of his golf bag when he picked it up to leave (by pretending to bump into him). The victim said goodbyes to the losers who did not have the opportunity to golf while on the clock. Of course, there were major chuckles as he walked away when the sign became visible. The sign lasted until the elevator ride with the customers (who were great guys that I'd known for years) when his bag made an odd sound as he put it down. We all got a good laugh when he peeled it off and showed it to us. Needless to say, his name on the scorecard that day was "Mr Gay Pride". He was a good sport about it and shared the rest of the story about it, which was a great icebreaker.
