Worst April Fool's Day joke.

[cedardryad]

So I never really cared for April Fool's day, but I do have a bad joke story.

A few years back my sister decided to play a joke on me. I live in NY and since it's a place where I can't have dogs I had to leave my senior citizen doggie in CT with my family. I call every now and then to check up on him.

So this time a few years back I get a horrible voicemail. My sister sounds frantic saying that Simba ran into the street and since he was deaf and practically blind at that time, he's now almost all blind and deaf, he didn't see or hear the car coming and he was hit and killed.

I cried hysterically. I couldn't even dial the number correctly to get a hold of my sister. When she picked up she yelled, "April Fool's!" I wanted to kill her. I totally wasn't aware of the date. She doesn't remember this incident of course, but it didn't stop her from doing the same thing last month. She sent me a picture message on my phone of my dog, it said "Simba, R.I.P." I don't know why I fell for it again, but she got bitched out again. I mean my dog is going to be 14 in August so I'm always waiting for the call.

So feel free to share your bad April Fool's Day experiences.

If you *want* to be vindictive with her, next year call her up on March 31st and make up this whole thing about how you need to tell her something, but she's got to promise not to tell your mother about it, because you're afraid it would give mom a heart attack. After you make sure several times that she won't tell---tell her something like "We had an incident, back when I worked at the hospital... and today I got back a positive test result." Let her stew.

Then if you really want to be nasty, tell her "I tested positive for HIV---AIDS." Then as she's gasping, yell out "April Fools!" and ask her how it feels to be pranked for April Fool's Day.

I wasn't kidding, when I said that I know how to dish a nasty prank right back. I just choose not to do so. (And I didn't even mention the one that would likely *really* get her.)

Actually, what I think I would do, if I had a sister being mean like this, would be to call her up and say, "How would YOU feel, if I called you up and said I'd gotten HIV from working at the hospital, or that your niece has leukemia---and then yelled out 'April Fools!'? You'd be horrified, and furious. So quit being a bitch, and doing that kind of thing to me. It is NOT funny, calling up to tell me that the pet I have loved since I was a kid is dead. It hurts. Stop it, or I just won't talk to you anymore. Ever."

That kind of shit does not fly with me... and anyone who pulls it on me is in danger of having the ball put right back into their court, if I happen to let my anger get the better of me. Certainly, if I've expressed how nasty it is and how much it hurts, and they do it *again*---they are out of my life. Period. Life has enough hurt and tragedy and pain, without someone making you feel it because they think cruel is funny.

I was all about putting fake dog poo and fake barf on my teachers' desks back in high school. ...Apparently it doesn't go over as well in college.

Oh I don't take offense to that. She is a total bitch. Everyone knows I want to know when my dog passes because I want to cremate him and of course be there.

Seconded. What a fucking shitty thing to do.

I don't mind April Fool's, but way too many people think it gives them a free pass to be a dick. Saying something is "just" an April Fool doesn't mean you aren't an asshole.

Just mark your calendar, and just avoid those people for one day.

Nah, much better to mark what they do April 1st then schedule my own private April Fool's Day for one of the other 29 days in the month. Then see if the bastards find it as funny.

Your sister could out-Coulter Ann Coulter, Cede'.

And maybe invite your sister to the cremation.. then when the door's opening.. BUMP Then yell, "April Fools!" even though it's not even April. :evilsmile

What? Too evil? :rolleyes:

[MacQuarrie]

Your sister has a very bizarre definition of the word "prank."

Intentional infliction of emotional distress is not a prank. The idea is supposed to make somebody feel foolish for having fallen for a hoax, not to reduce them to tears and/or rage.

People are stupid.
