April Fools’ text pranks: Five hilarious jokes to play on your friends
APRIL Fools’ Day —celebrated on April 1 each year — is an annual tradition which includes playing hoaxes or practical jokes on friends, family members or strangers.
We’ve come up with a few April Fool’s text pranks to target your friends and family with. Choose your victim wisely!
The ‘thanks for signing up for Cat Facts!’
Bordering on the obscure, this is a fun one to get any unsuspecting friend with.
First up, you’ll need to block your number - or alternatively, target a friend who doesn’t have your number on hand.
Your first text could read something along the lines of “Thanks for signing up for Cat Facts! You now will receive fun daily facts about CATS! >o<”
Depending on the nature of your friend, they might not respond. Whether or not this is the case, you should start to pepper them with cat facts, like “Cats use their tails for balance and have nearly 30 individual bones in them!”
Next up, give them an option to cancel, or continue their ‘membership’ with another text, reading “Would you like to receive a Cat Fact every hour? <reply CANCEL to cancel your membership>
Whatever they respond, send them another message saying “Command not recognised”.
Make sure you get at least a couple of Cat Facts in there, before informing them that it is in fact an April Fool’s joke.
The ‘You had one job!’
Everyone’s had that sinking feeling after making an unintentional mistake at work and botching things up royally. Text a co-worker you’re chummy with for this April Fools’ text prank. Keep them on the edge of their seat guessing, building upon the “mistake” without actually telling them what you did.
You: I’m so fired.
Them: Oh no! What happened?
You: I had one job. ONE job and totally blew it.
Them: lol ONE job! Wait? For real? What did you do?
You: A little voice inside me kept telling me it wasn’t right, but I did it anyway and now I’m toast.
You: What am I going to do? Should I tell the boss?
Them: Tell me what you did first!
You: Maybe I can cover my tracks. Ughh agony!
