25 Best Ways to Prank the Probie

Make Them Wet Their Pants!

Equipment Needed:

• 10 Drip IV Tube
• 22cc Syringe
• Tape
• 22g IV Cath

The Setup:

• Cut off the end of the 10 drip set on the drip chamber side


• Fill the syringe with water and secure it to the cut-off end of the drip set with tape


• Prime the drip set so there is water at the end of the tube.


• Take the plastic cath off the IV needle and put the needle part in the sharps container


• Place the drip set in a cup of water and draw up water until you have a full syringe and water to the end of the drip set.


• Put the 22g plastic cath on the end of the drip set and tape it on. Be sure it’s secure – it will be under pressure


• Tape the entire setup underneath the kitchen table with the IV cath aimed at the seat your rookie will be sitting in.


• Tape the syringe under the table where you will be sitting.

The Attack:

• Sit in the seat with the syringe and watch your probie.


• Every time he sips from his glass squeeze the syringe for just a second and quickly draw back to avoid a steady stream of water from the pressure you created.

The Result:

• The rookies notices drops of water every time he drinks, making him think his cup had a leak.


• Watch and laugh as they unsuccessfully try to fix the problem.
