Have you ever faked somebody out?

Yesterday I saw a friend of mine back in university. He was my first ever roommate during my freshman year. When we got to talking, I remembered when I got to fake him out once. I was having a bout of German Measles so I was confined in our room. He already had it, so it was no problem for him staying in the room with me. Our RA agreed that I stayed in the room, instead of going to a hospital, as long as I stayed within closed doors. Three days in, I was already feeling better, and I was bored out of mind in the room. Note that we didn’t have computers and internet then in university dormitories. So, while my roommate was out for a class, I decided to make a ‘mock up’ of me on the bed. I got a sweater and track pants and stuffed it with clothes, I put socks on the feet and gloves on the hand. I proceeded to make a ball for my head, and then laid this figure out on my bed. I just had a an elbow, a knee, and a feet sticking out to make it realistic. And then I went out. It was such a sunny day, that I spent it on a park! Anyway, when my roommate came back, he thought I was just sleeping. I guess after a few hours he noticed that I wasn’t moving. He tried to talk to me and I wasn’t responding. He panicked and called the RA to try and revive me. Let’s just say I came back exactly when both guys were trying to shake my figure trying to wake me up. Me and the RA had a good laugh. My roommate didn’t. So, have you done something similar? Have you ever faked someone out? What prank have you played with your friends and family?
