• From rick-rolling our mothers, to setting deadly knife traps, the Planet Dolan crew
re-enact some of the best true stories from our subreddit about times we booby trapped
things– I’m Nixxiom and today I’ll be your narrator
10 – Scots_Sterling Dolan Dolan once booby-trapped his computer. If
anyone pulled out his chair it would set off a music disc player that played Risk Astley.
Eventually when he was taking a shower and heard Rick Astley. He came out and found his
mother trying to vacuum his room and had pulled his chair out. She wasn't happy that it was
booby trapped, so he told her that if she didn't like it she shouldn't go in his room.
He later booby trapped his computer mouse so that if it was moved without being deactivated,
it would shut off his computer tower. He might be paranoid, but who wants their parents rummaging
around on their computer?
9 - Breanneb643 Tolop, Robo When Tolop and Robo were younger, they hated
the dark. So one night when they were sleeping at Tolop's family's house they scattered lego
pieces in front of the bedroom door and both took turns sleeping. Tolop had a nerf gun
loaded and he was waiting for a monster when he heard loud foot steps going to the door.
He tried to wake Robo up but got no response. The intruder stepped on the legos yelling
and Tolop shot him with the nerf bullets, then grabbed his toys and started throwing
them when the person yelled "STOP!" and he froze and turned on the light. It was Tolop's
uncle who just wanted to sneak in and scare them since they told him they were scared
of the dark.
8 – Tpeng_the_cringemstr Honeybits One night Honeybit's aunt was over for dinner
and she brought her pesky cousins over. Honeybits really hated when the younger one came into
her room. So she decided to chew 12 pieces of gum, stick them to a strip of fly paper,
and duck tape it to the sides of the door way. She anticipated her to walk on it with
her shoes on. But she forgot that her cousin pretty much never wore shoes. So when her
cousin’s foot got stuck in the bubblegum trap she cringed while she watched her cousin
trying to pull it off. She was grounded for 2 weeks.
7 – CaptainLadybug Doopie Doopie's mom used to sneak into her room and
borrow her jewelry without asking. So one day, she got some string and an air horn,
and set up a tripwire so that when her mom set off the trap, the air horn would blast
in her ear. She ended up getting grounded for a week for scaring her mom enough to wet
her pants. Her shriek of terror was totally worth it.
6 – scarypanda321 Pandora Pandora once got a bucket of flour and put
it up on a shelf in a pot plant, so it just looked like a regular plant. She then tied
a string to the bucket and to a drawer handle so if any one opened her drawer, the flour
would pour on them. Her sister came along, opened it and got absolutely covered in flour.
She got really mad at Pandora and told their parents what she had done. Pandora was told
not to do it again but secretly she's still planning her next trap.
5 – CowsGoNay GhostToast One Halloween, GhostToast collected a big
bag of candy and hid it in his closet. Each day he suspected that someone was stealing
candy from his bag so he booby-trapped his closet in order to find the culprit. He taped
a party popper to the closet door and taped the string to the inside draw. He was woken
up in the middle of the night to hear his dad setting off the popper.
4 – ThunderBROlt Slapped Ham One day Slapped Ham bought a few bags of chips
that he told his parents and brothers not to touch. After he noticed all his chips were
gone, he decided to get some more. This time, though, he hooked up a string near the chips,
and when his dad tried to take some, he triggered the string and a water gun shot at him. He
is now currently grounded forever.
3 – tinymonkey58 Pringle Pringle's family kept a fridge in their garage
for drinks and the kids next door would sneak in and take soda. They did this almost every
day so Pringle and his family would never have soda. He REALLY likes soda so he tied
a string to the inside of the fridge door so when you opened it, it would pull the string
which would then tip a bucket full of soda onto the soda thief. The kids came in and
got completely dunked. They didn't even see the note on the fridge saying, "Open slowly
and untie the string on the inside".
2 – Bloodmorne Hellbent Helbent set a deadfall trap in his room after
his roommate stole a ton of personal info off his PC. Eventually his roommate tripped
it by breaking through the locked door and got stabbed by a kitchen knife. He was absolutely
wasted drunk and after laying on the ground for a few minutes he then tried to log on
to Hellbent's PC before passing out from pain. Hellbent found him around an hour later and
called 911.
1 – Was submitted by Me!
Alright so when I was a kid I used to play in the woods all the time with my friends
but there was one part of the forest we didn’t go to. It was called the forbidden area. Now
the reason it was forbidden is because we always heard strange noises from there: Big
footsteps. And so we were convinced some big man-eating animal roamed out there. So one
day I had a great idea. I was going to kill the monster. I found a piece of wood, I hammered
a bunch of rusty nails through it, and I laid it on the ground with the nails facing up
and I covered it in leaves right on the edge of the forbidden area.
Well a few days later I realized my trap had worked! On my neighbor. Who was out in the
woods with her dogs, letting them run around. She had stepped on my trap and a nail had
went straight into her foot. My parents found out and told me and gave me this big lecture
about how I need to be really careful when I’m out in the woods. As you never know
what dangerous objects are hidden beneath the leaves. I just nodded my head and agreed
I’d be extra careful from now on, And nobody ever found out my evil secret… Until now.
Huge thanks for the folks over on our Planet Dolan subreddit for submitting their stories.
