Business reply mail prank
The classic business reply mail (BRM) prank! Here's a brief overview:
What is a Business Reply Mail (BRM) prank?
A BRM prank is a type of prank where you send a fake business reply mail (a pre-paid, self-addressed envelope) to a company or organization, usually with a humorous or absurd request. The goal is to see how seriously the company takes the request and how long it takes them to respond.
How to pull off a BRM prank:
- Create a fake business reply mail: Design a fake envelope with a company logo, address, and a pre-paid return envelope. You can use a template or create your own.
- Craft a ridiculous request: Write a humorous or absurd request on the envelope, such as "Please send me a personalized, hand-written apology letter for the inconvenience caused by your company's existence."
- Send it off: Mail the fake BRM to the company or organization, making sure to use a legitimate return address.
- Wait for the response: Sit back and enjoy the show as the company tries to respond to your prank.
Examples of BRM pranks:
- "Please send me a complimentary pizza for every Monday for the next year."
- "I'd like to request a personalized, 10-minute phone call with the CEO to discuss the meaning of life."
- "Can you please send me a customized, hand-painted portrait of your company's mascot?"
Tips and warnings:
- Be respectful: Avoid sending pranks to companies that might be offended or have sensitive topics, such as healthcare or financial institutions.
- Don't spam: Only send one or two pranks to a company to avoid overwhelming them.
- Be prepared for a response: Some companies might take your prank seriously and respond with a legitimate answer. Be prepared to laugh or apologize if needed.
- Don't use your work email or company resources: Keep your pranks personal and separate from your work life.
Remember, the goal of a BRM prank is to have fun and bring a smile to someone's face. Just be sure to keep it light-hearted and respectful!
