Instead you have to change something to make things awkward for them:

Zippers, I've changed them all for press studs instead

Put salt in the sugar bowl and sugar in the salt shaker

Sprinkle itching powder into their underwear drawer.

Take a large bite out of everything possible in the fridge, like pies, pizza, cheese, fruit etc. then wrap it back up so it doesn’t look opened.

Remove all the toilet rolls, but put Izal or Bronco rolls in their place.

Izal - there's a scratchy blast from the past 🙈

Turn all of the door handles upside down so that you have to lift the lever up to open the door.

Take away only one of each pair of socks.
Well, Oreo, if they just have one shoe, they need only one half of a pair of socks! 😀

Remove all ‘right’ shoes and just leave the ‘left’ ones.

Empty contents of wardrobes on to the beds

I often do that in my own home!

Swap house numbers with random ones you brought with you.

Ali08 Tue 10-Oct-23 08:24:33

Turn all the doors upside-down!
Put a chain around the fridge and lock it.

MrsKen33 Mon 09-Oct-23 05:52:44

Un pair all socks and re-pair with others

Ali08 Mon 09-Oct-23 03:45:55

Swap all the rooms around and hide something from each room.
Change the locks.

You lot are such a naughty bunch! I love it!!
...
Sew all the cuffs and leg ends together so they can't get dressed (we'd do this at school for pranks).
If a slatted bed, remove the middle slats and hide them in the attic.
Turn all the pictures on the walls around so you'd just see the backs of them.

On the contrary BigLouis, most of us DO have a sense of humour. The few on here are just showing that they're suffering from some sort of reverse senility, going back to being about 5?

I would sneak in while their TV was on but they were in a different room, and then 'borrow' their remote control and go outside with it. Once they were back in that room watching the TV again, I would keep changing it to different channels through the window.

It's what our young sons once did to us, and it had us totally baffled until their laughter gave them away.

Mix salt with sugar
Open the freezer door
Slash holes in alternate sofa cushions and pour bleach on others
Stuff the contents of their kitchen bin into the toilet bowl
Invite the neighbourhood tom cats in to spray the house
Die in their favourite armchair

Dampen the carpets and sow mustard and cress seeds

Move slugs and snails from the garden into the living room, maybe with a couple of lettuce leaves to keep them happy?

Take the fuses out of all plugs. Turn off the water, remove tea and coffee and kettle. Switch off the ,boiler.

Here's a very old one.

On the 6 March 1940, my father's diary says
"Sewed up Flo’s nightie" ....this being my aunt!
