Jokes you can play on UA employees.

I have a few friends that work for UA, and I like to give them a hard time every now and then...

Here are some pranks I've thought up:

(1) Invite a UA employee over to your home to "eat." Make the time 8p. When they arrive, tell them that since it's 8p, they'll only be getting a snack, not a full dinner.

(2) Serve wine in shot glasses. On the third refill, ask them if they're okay to drive.

(3) When you see their name on your caller ID, answer in a thick Indian accent and say that you're "Bob" and that [the phone owner] hired me for his answering service.

(4) If said friend asks for a beer, serve it to him in a small glass. Start drinking from the can or bottle immediately. If he asks you about it, say that you can't give the whole can/bottle.

(1a) tell them they need to arrive 2 hours before dinner.
(1b) At 7:55, announce that dinner will be delayed 10 minutes. Every 10 minutes, push that time back an additional 15 minutes.

* Serve the meal, but no drinks. They should KNOW that liquids are prohibited.

* Similarly, ask them to leave their liquids, gels, and other prohibited items at the door (in a waste can).

Haha, nice list!

What about $5 for alcoholic beverages and hot nuts? ^

Then at 8:45 cancel dinner and give them no reason for cancelling it.

Or "schedule change due to servicing."

Send them a "dinner update" message on their cell phone telling them their dinner service has been switched to 3:45pm.

Don't send message until at least 3pm.

'Close' your driveway. Tell them it was not your fault, traffic control closed it.

Don't allow them inside your house without showing identification.

Have a larger more comfortable chair at the dinner table. Although it's empty, apologize to them that their upgrade didn't clear.

Seat your friend at the dining room table, and then spend the rest of the night in the kitchen.

When they arrive, notify them that they needed to check in 30 minutes before Dinner and thus their pre-assigned seat was reassigned to someone else. Tell them not to worry, though, there is a card table in the back of the kitchen where the children are eating and you can probably squeeze them in. Cramped, but they'll still get dinner, and that's all that was offered.

Then again, if they don't arrive 10 minutes before 8:00pm, place a sign on the door notifying them that the Door Is Closed and that they can call to be rebooked for a different Dinner. Bolt the door and don't answer the bell.

Tell them dinner has been canceled but you'll arrange dinner at someone's else's house. Then inform them dinner will be ready around breakfast time.

Push all of the dining room chairs very close to one another. Announce that if they are uncomfortable they can purchase economy plus for $34.

Tell them, they missed their ride home and will have to spend the night due to weather, and that pillows and blankets are by the door and they are welcome to sleeep on the floor.

Serve a terrible dinner. Repaint the exterior of your house in a new color scheme. Re-serve the exact same dinner, but insist that it is new, improved and delicious.
