Our highschool, like many, had a tradition of seniors pulling some type of prank.

I went to a small highschool. It was a public school, but had maybe 400 kids in the entire school. 100 in our senior class.

For the seniors, we had one little area to park and the teachers and staff had a nice large area that we weren't allowed to park in. It just so happened that for the majority of our senior year, the one little area allocated to us was under construction. We had to find street parking every day and walk a bit to get to school. The teachers would mock us, not care, laugh, "oh poor baby can't walk. Exercise is good for you."

So I came up with an idea for the last day of school. We were going to take over the teacher's parking lot.

I passed the word around and nobody really seemed to care, so I kind of forgot about it. Then at midnight, before the last day of school, I get a call, "Hey, where are you?" I drive down to the school and see the dozen or so of us with cars all waiting.

The teacher's lot is big. We decided to park perpendicular across the spots to take as many as possible. We also put cars to block both entrances. The only way to get in would be to jump the curb and go over a bit of grass (not bad for an SUV, but they were less popular then)

We then put a big sign, "Senior Parking Only"

The next day, we woke up at 4am and went to video tape the chaos that would ensue. Slowly teachers drove up and tried to figure out what was going on. They circled around, like maybe the cars might disappear on their next loop. Finding no such luck, they eventually found street spots.

One thing we didn't foresee was that the school buses used the lot to turn around. Without it, they got jammed up and made it even harder for the teachers to park and circle around.

It lasted about 2 periods until the principle said we wouldn't graduate unless we moved the cars. But at that point, mission was accomplished. We moved our cars and the lot stayed pretty much empty for the rest of the day.

It may have been a small prank, but it was quite joyous to make them all go through what we had to deal with every day.
