Placement Pranks
 

Placement pranks are my favorite. They're subtle, require tact, and often last a lifetime if done correctly. You've done a good job if management actually takes care of your prank and moves it around/cleans it as if it belonged. It shouldn't draw immediate attention, but should cause a giggle to people that pay careful attention to their surroundings.

Picture frame + double-sided tape + those wacky restaurants with lots of crap on the walls = easy target. Who knew they had carbon fiber kayak paddles in 1907? (The printed name follows the old method of "middle name + street you grew up on".) It was a much more "family" addition to the walls than the suggestion of hanging a pair of truck nuts from the Radio Flyer wagon they have suspended up there. Thankfully, the pranks never escalated to the level of increasing vulgarity to see what management would notice. That would ruin it, I think, and there are plenty of blank spaces that are just inviting more "historic" images of early explorers.

If anyone else does this, I'd love to see what you manage to get on the walls of your local establishment. I'm trying to keep tabs on how long this one sticks around since I'm a frequent customer. Everyone should be so famous as to have their picture proudly displayed!

More to come, including non-blurry shots of this one.

How about a menu page addition?

The special Atkinz menu page at TGI Fridays.

I had the chance to participate in this prank, but never eat at Fridays, so I passed.

That's awesome. How about "Dress like a Best Buy employee" day?

It doesn't matter how I'm dressed or where I'm shopping, people start asking me questions. My brother says it's because I have a face that looks like it should be waiting on people.

Now that's comedy!

:lol2:I will definitely have to remember that!

O.M.G. That is totally the best ever. I didn't have a chance to watch the videos yet, but the individual stories rocked. I worked at Staples for a few months many many moons ago, and if something like this would have happened, I would have died laughing. The manager at that store probably would have had an aneurism. :bitching:

This happens to me too. In Grocery Stores, Dollar Stores, Furnishing Stores, Restaurants, Zoos, Museums...any-bloody-where! I have purple spikey hair and usualy at least one small child in tow, and I'm always dressed in black. WHAT ON EARTH MAKES THEN THINK I WORK THERE?

Such a cool prank, btw.....
