If you’ve ever been in a long-term relationship or marriage, you know that laughter is essential for keeping your sanity. In one couple’s world, the humor is taken to a whole new level, thanks to some wildly ambitious pranks. Meet Jake Thompson, a devoted husband and a prankster extraordinaire, who decided to give his wife, Mia, the scare of a lifetime involving her car and a series of outrageous surprises.
Jake explains, “My wife’s car has a nifty backup camera that shows what’s behind her when she’s reversing, and I had some tape along with some photos.” He figured it would be a perfect setup for a good laugh. “Always check your surroundings for safety,” he quipped, knowing full well what he had planned.
If I saw that on my screen while backing up, I’d probably race back into the driveway. Jake kicked off his prank while Mia was busy at work as a trauma nurse, probably not the best way to unwind after a hectic day. Of course, she quickly put two and two together and confronted her husband.
But the pranking didn’t stop there. Jake kept the joke alive for nearly a month, catching Mia off guard with multiple heart-stopping scares when she least expected it.
How It All Unfolded
So how did this all unfold? The inspiration came when Jake noticed a toy dinosaur on the bumper that appeared gigantic in the camera view. “We had just watched IT, and Mia was already on edge about clowns, so I printed out a picture of Pennywise and decided to stick it back there before she left for work,” he said. He even crafted a little picture holder using a Popsicle stick and tape to make it all come together.
If you’re thinking, “Wow, that’s some serious dedication!” you’re not alone. This isn’t the first time Jake went viral for his antics—he once convinced Mia that he and their toddler had shaved their heads for a family photo shoot. Classic!
After a few rounds of scares, Mia became wise to Jake’s antics and started checking her rear bumper for any surprise images. The prank then took a hilarious turn, featuring everyone’s favorite Sasquatch from Harry and the Hendersons.
Eventually, Mia caught on to Jake’s game, breaking a couple of his picture holders in the process. “I had to get creative,” Jake admitted. “So, I drove around her work parking garage forever until I found her car. That one was the best. She definitely wasn’t expecting it at work.”
And just when you think it couldn’t get any better, Jake pulled out a photo of Bill Clinton, saxophone in hand. Pure comedic gold! Now, after all those scares, Mia has become “hyper vigilant,” circling her car before getting inside, and Jake thinks it might be time to hit the brakes on this prank spree for a while.
We can only imagine what he’ll think of next. If you’re looking for more entertaining story ideas, consider checking out this at-home insemination kit for a different kind of family planning. And for those curious about fertility treatments, this resource on IVF is a fantastic guide.
