Toilet Papering
Toilet papering, or TPing, a home is a prank that makes a complete mess of a house,
trees, and anything else that is high up. It not only makes the victims home look
ridiculous to the neighbors, it is also a lot of trouble for the victim to clean
up.
Here is how it works:
1) Purchase a large number of toilet paper rolls. It may be a good idea to go to
a bulk warehouse club style store such as Costco or Sam's Club to buy in bulk. If
you do not want to arouse suspicion of the sales clerks, you can purchase the toilet
paper over time.
2) Gather a team of people who will help you to toilet paper a house. It is too
big of a job to do yourself and will go much quicker with friends helping you.
This prank is also a lot more fun with friends.
3) Scope out the victim's house in advance to make sure there are no gates, barking
dogs, or other impediments to your success. Also plan any escape routes that may
be necessary if you have to run.
4) Go to the house late at night when the victim will be asleep. You and your
team should spread out across the property and throw the toilet paper rolls over
the house and over the trees. Throw the roll and the loose end will unravel
and be stuck in the tree or on the house. Stay as quiet as possible while doing
this so you do not wake the victim. The goal is to cover the house and the
trees in as much toilet paper as possible.
5) When you are out of toilet paper, quietly leave the property and drive away.
Avoid the temptation to drive by the next day to admire your work unless you can
do so very discretely.
This is a good practical joke to combine with planting plastic forks in the laws
and putting campaign signs in somebody's lawn.
