Some people love trying to get away with asinine little tricks and pranks, some of which can go on for a truly incredible amount of time without other people even realizing! Some of these pranks are funny because they’re so unnecessarily pointless, and others because they’re so downright strange!
Well, please enjoy these 12+ people pulling the long con!
RELATED STORIES
“A co-worker posted pictures of himself in random places when he quit. This is the back of a clock, and he quit 2 years ago.”
Wow, this guy really must have had a lot of free time on his hands in his last few days! I wish I’d done something like this when I left my last job…but I didn’t care enough.
“Been here for 6 hours now waiting for someone else to take over.”
Look, some toasters need to be looked after and cared for, and there’s nothing wrong with that. My toaster is also incredibly emotionally attached to me and has severe separation anxiety.
“Every. Single. Time.”
I am definitely of the opinion that these are purely designed to mess with people, as I have never once had any success with one of these damn perforations!
“No beer goes to waste in Vietnam.”
“Oh no! What are the odds, another spilled package again! Well, you know the rules. Don’t let anything go to waste!”
“Wonderful. Same time again tomorrow?”
“I’ve been waiting 9 months for a coworker to ride his Harley to work so I could do this.”
You know what? I think they look absolutely fabulous and that they should keep them on! The visual contrast is incredible as well.
“Looks like an awesome place for a job.”
“Dave, are you high?”
“And drunk!”
“Why?”
“The sign said so!”
“And for his final, greatest trick…”
“What did I tell you when we got the dog?”
“Naming him Houdini will only encourage him…”
“And look at what has happened, Steve! He’s gotten into escapology!”
“My tattoo guy said ‘that’s not a tattoo you copy, it’s a tattoo you earn’.”
Someone asked if their foot actually was buried but they said that it was cremated. Would be weird to bury just a foot, I guess.
“With Halloween upon us in just a few months, don’t forget about the ‘trick’ part of ‘trick or treat’.”
This is another level of evil. Also, someone pointed out that red onions would help create the effect better!
Messing With The Three Little Pigs!
This person wrote, “For 17 years, I have rearranged these pigs at my mom’s house into a naughty pose every time they’re in their normal ‘positions’. Every time she notices she puts them back. Neither of us have ever said a word about it.”
“Playing the long con: the longer he waits the more bones he gets. Stupid owner.”
Holy hell, I have never seen a dog with patience quite like this. My dog would have been causing bloody murder as soon as one bone treat was out of the packet.
“I’m 49 and just found this in my mum’s bookcase… WTF!”
I bet that she bought that decades ago and has just been waiting for this person to notice it! Also, why did it take this person so long to look at their mother’s bookshelves?
“My gf’s dad carried this picture in his wallet for decades. He might’ve out-dadded every dad joke.”
Well…it’s either that or he had an affair with a bottle of detergent one day and these are his real kids?
“That’s an accident waiting to happen…”
“Steve… Hey, Steve! Check it out! I put these next to each other!”
“Bob, a kid choked to death on one of those makeup sponges yesterday in the store.”
“Oh…”
“Corporate hates this one little trick to bypass their energy saving air conditioning thermostat locks…”
As someone also pointed out, you’re not only getting past the locks, but you’re also using up a lot of their electricity! Which is…showing them, I guess?
“A 10 year argument with my wife is finally over.”
Just wait there a second while I go and show my partner this as I have been also waiting for this day for years!
“Walked Into The Middle Of An Anime Battle.”
You know that this dog is about to start laughing menacingly, saying, “Is that all you’ve got?” before flying through the air at the camera.
“Rave reviews!”
I would absolutely hire this person! I’ve been looking for someone to teach my dog Spanish for years!
“My 17 year old student has this on his desk today.”
Pfft, dependent on where he lives, it’ll be a miracle if he can retire at all. Nope… Not going to make it political… Sorry.
“I feel like this might be a trick…”
Behind this sign, there’s a load of cops snickering and waiting to see people downing bottles of Smirnoff as they drive along the highway.
“All the crap my son has put down the air conditioning vent in the last 6 years.”
Okay, so at a push, I could understand a kid randomly shoving trains into the air conditioning… But why measuring spoons?
“‘Shirtception’ ⏤ my favorite gift every year from my brother. We’re now at level 4.”
There is something strangely hypnotic about this shirt. I can’t help but stare at it. Is anyone else getting this?
“You Suck!”
I don’t need to take this kind of crap from a golf ball! Even the equipment in golf is looking down at me now, not just the people who play it!
“I’ve waited so long for this moment.”
This chicken has been milking this same joke for years now. Get some new material already, you goddamn hack!
“Every time I come to the airport I write the date on this car. They’ve been parked here since August.”
I don’t want to sound morbid or anything…but should someone not check to make sure that the owner of this car isn’t dead? Or maybe in the trunk?
“Our cat steals and hoards bottle caps. Found his stash while cleaning…”
Our cat loves hoarding pieces of dry pasta. When we clean under the couches there’s always enough there for a full meal. I don’t know where she gets it from?!
“My kid did this portrait of me over 10 years ago. I still look the same, IMO.”
I love that they have framed it as well. Now it will be able to truly hang alongside any other masterpiece!
“My girlfriend and I have an ongoing argument about which direction the toilet paper roll should face. Today I asserted my dominance with a padlock.”
I mean, it looks like that little orb on the end might screw off… But, you do you, guy. If this makes you happy then that’s fine.
“Finally got all the lights on. Took ages.”
After you collect all the lights, your car transforms into Deluxe Mode, granting it +10 points to strength and durability, but -20 to lifespan.
“Every year I try to disguise my sister’s Christmas present. This year I think I went a little too far.”
Wow, seems like you got your sister a real crappy present this year… Yeah, alright, I’ll see myself out.
“4 days without a cigarette and a co-worker told me to ‘come back in a year’ before I’m proud about it. Mark your calendars, Ladies and Gents.”
Spite is a great motivator. Maybe Steve is being mean on purpose to really kick you into quitting gear.
“I’ve been growing my hair out for almost 2 years to make this Facebook post today. No one suspects a thing!”
If this is a two-year endeavor, I hope you have a total online rehaul. Every profile picture, cover photo, professional headshot better be this. No exceptions.
“My wife forgot to leave me the carseat to take our son to the babysitter’s house. This is the picture I sent when she asked how I was going to get him there.”
This is probably the most fun your kid will have in their young life. What’s more important, safety and prolonged life, or happy memories?
“My friend just returned from a 7 month deployment. This guy had my favorite sign in the crowd of friends and family.”
The sad nature of the sign makes it even better. He wants that money enough to show up, but not to really put any effort into a sign.
“Went bowling with my brother today. He asks for the biggest size they have, and the counter guy’s response was ‘I knew this day would come, we’ve been waiting for you’.”
Not only did you make that guy’s day, but you have the cleanest shoes there!
“The perfect resolution.”
Resolutions, shooting stars, genie wishes, I don’t think there’s anything that would get the general public to start using their turn signals.
Growing Pains.
Just a few years’ difference in this boy, and though I know he (probably) won’t be getting any bigger, in my dreams he reaches Komodo Dragon size. Crocodile, even.
“I couldn’t find the kale at the grocery store. I asked an employee where I could find some and he said, ‘right here,’ and points to his name tag. He’s been waiting his whole life for this.”
I used to know a guy named Kale, and I was convinced no one else in their right mind would want to name their child that. Good to know I was wrong.
“My son planted this carrot months ago. Tonight we feast!”
“We…we could feed the whole family with this! It’s a miracle! We’re saved, we’re saved!”
“My development hasn’t taken away this light pole since a tornado knocked it over two months ago. So I figured…”
That pole is going through a really rough time with this, so good on you for letting it know it’s in your thoughts. It appreciates the support.
“Chose this seat because it was next to an outlet. Two hours later, I went to charge my phone just to realize it’s a sticker.”
I’ll come right out and say it: If you’re the type to pull this kind of prank, you’re evil. You’re just evil.
“I had to follow this dude for an hour just to see the ending.”
Make sure you ride reaaal close so you can get a good look at it, and turn your headlights off for better screen visibility!
“Cleaning my mom’s bathroom and realized this jar that’s been sitting there for 15 years isn’t filled with sea shells. It’s filled with pasta shells…”
Well… I think they might be done. Time to pop some sauce on them and you’ve got yourself a meal.
“So they installed a new coffee machine at work and before anyone could use it, I placed this sign on it. Best work day of my life.”
Am I the only one who doesn’t see the appeal in voice-activation? I don’t want anyone to know what I’m up to. Anonymous silence, thanks.
“Long Con.”
I would have loved to have done something like this in one of my university essays. However, I never had enough time. I was always right up against the deadline.
