3 Ways to Troll Your Friends

Are you tired of being the victim of your friends’ pranks? Well, it’s time to turn the tables and show them what they’ve been missing by engaging in some light-hearted trolling. In this article, we’ll outline three creative ways to prank your pals and share a few laughs at their expense.

1. The Phantom Phone Call

Everyone is attached to their phones these days, so why not take advantage of that fact with this classic prank? Find an opportune moment to snatch your friend’s phone when they are not looking. Then, change your contact name in their phone to resemble the name of someone they would never expect to call them—a celebrity or fictitious character, for example. Sit back and wait as you call them from “Tom Cruise” or “Santa Claus.” Enjoy watching them frantically trying to figure out what’s going on as their phone rings with random numbers or unusual call patterns. Just remember not to push it too far – return their phone in due time!

2. Food Switcheroos

The quickest way to someone’s heart is through their stomach—unless you’re pranking them, that is! Next time you find yourself hanging out with friends or hosting a dinner party, use the opportunity for some culinary trolling. Replace a popular condiment with a look-alike substitution that offers a completely different taste—think mayonnaise instead of vanilla pudding or swapping hot sauce for ketchup. Or, you can get even more sinister and switch labels on spice containers or fill a candy dish with mixed sweets and (carefully) packaged indistinguishable items like chewing gum and erasers. Be prepared for shock, laughter, and maybe even a little revenge once everyone realizes what you’ve done.

3. The Fake App Download

These days there’s an app for everything—and plenty of fake ones designed specifically for pranking! Browse the app store and find a fake app that suits your trolling needs. Popular choices include those with annoying sounds, apps that simulate a cracked screen, or programs endorsing ridiculous services. Once you’ve found the perfect prank, stealthily borrow your friend’s phone or computer, download the app, then sit back and watch as they suspiciously attempt to navigate what they think is an accidental download. Their confusion and possible panic will undoubtedly make for prime trolling material. Just remember to show them how to uninstall the app once you’ve had your fun!

As with all pranks and trolling, it’s essential to remember that these are meant for fun and entertainment – not for causing harm or distress. Make sure that your friends have a good sense of humor, and always be prepared for retaliation; after all, a friendly prank war can make for some hilarious and long-lasting memories!

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
