Hey. I have a friend I want to play a practical joke on. What are some odd safe for work and pet items that will just make them question how it got there.

Edit: Gosh darn it. I love you all. These are great.

You wouldn't by chance have visited me in the past?

Found James Veitch's fediverse account.

Im assuming that's the guy that made the original skit about the rubber ducks right?

Because I actually never watched this video but my roommate did this thing with the rubber ducks all across the university and that's how I know about the video.

Put one in the toilet tank.

Might not get found for a long while but going to be a really fun discovery down the line.

when 2 of our friends got engaged we had a party at another's house. the two who got engaged love hedgehogs, so we bought a 50 pack of tiny plastic hedgehogs as a decoration. those tiny things were perfect for hiding all over the house. last summer we helped them move out of the house (about 1.5 years after the engagement party) and we found a good 10 of those little guys still hidden around.

That was one of my first guesses. The problem is he knows I love rubber ducks.
