This is a classic prank that can really make your friend stand up. In this article I will explain what the trash can water prank is and how to pull it off.
The trash can water prank works like this: You fill a trash can halfway with water. You then lean it against your friend’s door at a 45 degree angle. Then you knock on the door and run! When your friend opens the door, the trash can will fall and spill all the water in his house or room.
Here are a few things to keep in mind so you can get this prank right:
1. Which way does the door open?
You want to make sure that when your friend opens the door, he pulls it towards himself. If the door swings out, he’ll just push the trash can back into a beached position and the prank won’t work.
2. Make sure you get the right angle.
You have to be careful when you lean the trash can against his door. If there is too much lean meat, then the trash can could fall out before you open the door. If there is very little incline, then the trash can can simply drop back to an upright position, and you’ll be looking at a trash can filled with water. This would be a complete failure of the joke.
With any prank, I recommend a video camera so you can capture your friend’s reaction and laugh many times in the future. Good luck with the prank!
