Nice one! You just made me think of a bunch of good ones a person could pull in a hospital (having these fictitious people paged overhead):

That one woman would have made the prank entirely worthwhile for me, but then, I like to get under uptight peoples skin - kind of like a hobby! Originally Posted by velogirl

My friend has chinchillas and is on a chinchilla forum. They posted a message about how they were going to start charging people to post, and if a member wanted to be inactive they'd have to pay for that too. My friend was pretty angry--and not amused when she learned it was a joke.
The problem is, it is entirely believable that that particular forum would do something like that! They are really mean spirited there. You have to have x number of "validated" posts (posts with useful information) before you can ask questions, another level lets you post without pre-approval, and finally, apparently, once you reach what can only be described as god-level, you can also be demeaning, condescending, rude, etc. When she was relatively new she tried to post something along the lines of, "Hey, can't we just get along?" and she was reprimanded for being disrespectful.
I keep telling her to drop that forum like a bad habit. I would never put up with it.
