Ever "Cup" someone?
What you need is a couple of hours, a few accomplises', a few decanters or karaffes and a LOT of cups. Paper, Foam and even those in the cupboard belonging to the victim.
You start off by infiltrating when the victim will NOT be home for at least a few hours. Then you pick (in the case of a house) a room or chose his/her room (in the case of a roommate - but retaliation can haunt you).
Starting from the farthest point from the door, start placing cups on EVERY flat surface as close together as you can. With the decanters fill them with water. Varying the level of water; some full, some partially and so on. Whatever works best for you, fill then set or set then fill.
Your accomplises' will be making runs with the empty karaffes to the bathroom or kitchen or nearest faucet to refill. Desktop, bookshelf, books on anything, floor, nightstand, under the bed, inside of drawers, closets.....EVERY flat surface in the ENTIRE room, cups of water all with varying amounts of water in them.
Work your way back towards the door. PLAN for the door path upon opening. The idea is NOT that they should ALL spill like a chain reaction of Dominoes, but rather engage the victim/occupant for the next SEVERAL hours in deconstructing this wet booby-trap. Leave a path. The trap is not to create a watery mess, but to avoid it's creation
What takes you and friends a couple hours will take at least double the time and generally tripple or more to disarm/deconstruct. With some cups filled to the very brim you can add tripple the time per cup. You have runners to help you fill, the victim, hopefully, will be alone to their own devices.
With buckets and other "carriers" one may take a cup or two at a time and dump them out, then emptying the bucket when it gets full and continuing. Mixing in dishes from the cupboard only complicates and prolongs the disarming process as you can't just toss the empty into a pile in the hallway to be dealt with later, ceramics don't tend to survive such treatment very well.
I have done this a few times. While in the Army in the barracks and since getting out in peoples homes with the assistance of a significant other or the victim themselves.
If you want to get REALLY mean, incorporate other liquids to the cups. A few with fruit juice (very sticky to clean up if spilled), condiments (ketchup or mustard make fine choices - and these should be filled to the very brim) and so on. Creativity and ones imagination can be very rewarding sometimes.
This prank works best when the victim will be returning partially inebriated or otherwise impaired or when they have to be somewhere within a few hours as you will be eliminating much sleeptime now diverted to the disarm/deconstruction process.
Just FYI, don't ever get on my bad side...........especially if I know where you live.
Just sayin'.
