'Somebody has an idea: What if we do an "anti prank"?': High school seniors plan anticlimactic pranks to fool their teachers, news stations report on the school's reaction

These students had an absolutely hilarious idea for their senior prank — and it was so effective that their school ended up on the news. 

Who doesn't love a great senior prank? Administrators, that's who! Every year, high school seniors gear up for a fun final year in high school. This often includes a senior trip, special fun days, or planning the date for a "senior skip day." My own high school had a fun paint fight in the parking lot one day — everyone brought some paint and we just threw it everywhere. It was a glorious, colorful mess — just what a senior prank or silly stunt should be. 

However, since administrators already know that the incoming senior class will have some tricks up their sleeves, they try to be prepared. It's probably a nightmare from their point of view. Kids could get hurt trying to pull the prank off (some involve going on the school's roof, or driving a car indoors, just for a few examples). These poor principals and teachers have to play the defensive, and they certainly end up looking like the bad guys to their students. 

U/HelloItsMeYourFriend's high school had a solution to this: a series of anti-pranks that drove their school's administrators crazy. Check out all their antics below, as well as stories from commenters wanting to share their own high school legends.
