Best prank you've ever done?

A guy in my office two cubes down turned 32. I sent an email to the office on his birthday saying "Everyone make sure to stop by Tim's cube for cupcakes! And wish him a happy 40th birthday!" He looked just old enough that 40 seemed a realistic number.
The rest of the day was filled with him yelling "No! I'm not 40!"
As senior pranks in HS:
- Snuck in over night and removed all of the chairs from the lunch rooms.
- Dug out "08" into the large hill outside the school everyone saw as you drove by, it stayed there for over a year.
... Earned ourselves 8 hours community service but a chuckle privately from the AP.

A friend in college hated those table tents that overpopulated the dining room tables in Friley (in the mid 90s.). He'd often arm-sweep them onto the floor before sitting down. This friend also could be annoying and push boundaries at times, so a bunch of us quietly amassed near 200 of the table tents over time.
One week he was especially annoying, so we got into his room while he was out, then hid them everywhere (except those we flooded onto his desk.). They went into his bed sheets, pillow cases, clothes, his movies, his text books, his curtains, his furniture, his fridge....basically everywhere possible in a dorm room.
He toned down after that after we kept seeing table tents in his garbage over the next month or so.

We would sift sand all the way to the dust stage in our chemistry lab. We would then pour the dust into the top on top of the heating/fins of the blower with it turned off. The next class would come and and turn the blower on and instant dust storm. We came back to class then next day and you could write your name on the chemistry tables. It took the chemistry teacher a few weeks to figure it was us and he didn't name names, but everyone knew we were guilty as hell.
Senior class of 2000 at my HS did something similar. Our football field/track sat on a big hill behind the school, with the hillside facing the school and road. They went in one night and used round-up to write "CLASS of 2000" on the hillside. Except they were drunk, and it was dark, so it came out "CLASS OF 20000"
Fine sand is a known carcinogen. You may have given everyone cancer. Buy hey, you had fun.
Senior Prank in HS..
Zip-tyed every locker shut and clipped the ends off. Over 400 lockers appeared jammed at the same exact time.

A friend in high school drove a little geo metro. He was gone on a school function for a weekend so his car was parked at our high school. We jacked his car up, set it on some kind of "dolly", rolled it between two trees where it literally had about an inch between each bumper and the trees, and set it down there.
For my wife's senior prank, they snuck into the school and took all the pens and pencils out of lockers and hid them in an empty locker. Apparently all the rest of the kids freaked out the next day when they had nothing to write with.
We did something similar in our HS. Except we didn't have the trees. We just turned the car 90 degrees in the parking spot with cars on either side.
I grew up in a small town in Iowa that was huge into tennis. Our town was allowed to field a team in this league that was meant for Omaha country clubs, so every Saturday in the summers we would carpool up to the fancy areas.
We had a kid on our team that was insanely cocky, his family was one of the wealthiest in town, and he was just an overall dbag (he was a good player though).
So I decided to catfish him, WAY before catfishing even had a name or was a thing. This was 1998. We setup a Yahoo Messenger account as curiousgirl4235 or something like that and began talking to him, saying that they had met briefly during interclub in Omaha. We ended up sharing the account between multiple people and talked to him for like 6 months, always laughing at their conversations. We'd also send him pictures of "said girl".
So it comes time for the end of the year tournament, because the girl was "out of town" when we played her CC, and we decided they were gonna meet at a certain time, at this certain bench. This kid talked it up for weeks, showing us pictures of this girl, how they were gonna sneak off and hook up, all that.
So it comes time to meet, it's slighty down this hill. He's just sitting there by himself on the bench for about 10 minutes, and then like 10 of us roll over the hill laughing at him.
It was great, he was PISSED.
edit: this was the girl we were pretending to be, he even mentioned to her that he remembers seeing her and thought she was so cute.

Also similar, buddy's small car could be bounced/lifted with a couple of guys. So he'd often find it within inches of the adjacent car and have to climb through other doors to get in or find a couple others to move it back away from the other car.
My dad had a story where they let out some farm animals in the school (thinking like 6 goats or something manageable). They put a tag or marker on them (1, 2, 3, etc.) but left out one of the numbers so one was thought to be still loose somewhere for a good amount of time.
Can't take credit for these but they were awesome.
One of my friends stole another of our friend's goat, and released it into the school pep rally in the gymnasium all painted up with school colors. The kid ran out of the stands yelling 'That's my goat!'
Same guy put cows into the school, and they went up stairs...

Less than funny version of this prank in our school. One year seniors let chickens loose in the school. Probably 5-10 total. Our janitor herded them all into the bathroom and bludgeoned them with a broom. No more animal pranks after that.
Victim was next door neighbors in dorm with too much bass
Took 100 paper cups and stapled them together in a long snake. Filled each cup with water

When I was in middle school I was with some friends at a girls house and texted one of my friends who wasn’t there some provocative messages from her phone to mess with him since I knew he had a crush on her. Turns out her step dad who was downstairs has the same name. Probably best to make sure you know which person you’re texting before you hit send. That was a very awkward walk through the living room on my way home.
In college a friend worked for Dominos. One night we were really bored and we followed him around while he delivered pizzas. The original intent was to steal his car while he was at someones door and park it on the next street. But the intent turned into scaring him. After about 2 hours of following him around I had my opportunity. We parked down the street, I ran down the street to his car, got in and laid down in the back seat (while trying to not laugh my ass off because he had Shania Twain blasting with a lot of bass). He gets in the car and starts to drive away. I slowly raise up from the back seat with a disposable camera ready to snap. I then say "Hey Garrett", he turns, slams on the brakes and I snap a picture.
I don't know where the picture is today but it was PURE terror on his face. That picture could have won an award. I really don't know how he didn't **** himself.
My friends in the chase car pull up and are dying laughing because they saw his car start to drive, a camera flash from inside the car and then brake lights to a stop.
