How to Get Revenge on Your Siblings

Author Info

Updated: November 9, 2019

Siblings can be your best friends or your worst enemies, and sometimes both in the same day. However, even the best sibling relationships have their own little wars. If you’re looking to get some revenge on your sibling, there are plenty of ways to do it. But be careful – they might get you back even worse!

Method 1 of 3:
Getting Your Revenge at Home

  1. 1
    Set their clock four or five hours ahead. Then when you wake them up, tell them that they have slept through whatever they needed to do that day. And make sure you are dressed for the day when they wake up. Be careful though; if they accuse you, act innocent as if it were their fault. [1]
  2. 2
    Torment them with their least favorite food. Make sure to hand out the biggest portion of that dish onto their plate when it's being served.
    • Alternatively, you can use a food they like. If they really like ice cream, eat all their ice-cream and leave the empty container in the freezer.
  3. 3
    Try taking their things and hiding them. Put their pencil case under the couch or their homework in the microwave. Try taking only one thing every day (something that they won't notice right away, like a pen). Hide it in your room and make sure it blends in with your stuff or simply hide it in your closet. Keep making the things you take more and more important to them every day, but don't take things that are very important to them.
    • If they accuse you of hiding their stuff, deny it! If you act like you have no idea what’s going on either they might become even more confused.
  4. 4
    Glue their deodorant closed. Buy some superglue that is invisible once it dries and glues all their deodorants closed. If you want to be really mean, you can glue all their soaps in the shower closed too. This will confuse them and then really frustrate them. [2]
  5. 5
    Put some tape on the nozzle of their sink. Leave a small gap towards the front. When they go to wash their hands the water will spray them right in their face! This is a simple and effective prank. [3]
  6. 6
    Spray whipped cream in their hands while they are sleeping. When they scratch their nose or roll over to sleep on their side, they’ll end up covering themselves with whipped cream. Be careful however, as this might get you in trouble with your parents. [4]

Method 2 of 3:
Embarrassing Your Siblings at School

  1. 1
    Change their autocorrect in Microsoft Word. If your brother or sister is at the point in school where they are writing a lot of papers on their computer, you can prank them using their word processing system. Go to “Autocorrect” under the “Tools” tab and change the settings to automatically replace normal words like “that” or ‘the” with ridiculous ones like “blarganauv” and “snoodle-shanks”. Change as many words as you want! If you want to really get them in trouble you can change the words to something like “my teacher stinks” and hope that they don’t notice it.
  2. 2
    Change the wallpaper on their computer. Do this after they go to bed or before they head to school in the morning. You don't want to give them a chance to notice it and change it back. Change their wallpaper to something embarrassing, like a picture of them sleeping in a funny way, or maybe pictures of puppies and hearts that you find on the Internet if they are a boy. You know your sibling, choose something that you think would embarrass them. [5]
    • When they open up their laptop at school people will see their new background.
  3. 3
    Fill their backpack with underwear. Right before they go to school, find their backpack, empty it, and fill it with their underwear. They will be so confused, and it will also inconvenience them throughout the day.
  4. 4
    Talk to your sibling’s girlfriend or boyfriend at school. Introduce yourself and say, “Oh, you must be [insert name that isn’t theirs]”. When they say no, act confused and tell them that your sibling is always talking about this other person. This will get your sibling in some hot water! [6]

Method 3 of 3:
Plotting Your Revenge

  1. 1
    Decide your revenge depending on the sibling's age. You probably wouldn't want to use the same prank on an 18-year-old as you would on a 7-year-old. Try to find a prank that will be appropriate for their age.
  2. 2
    Choose how you want to get revenge. You can get them into trouble with your parents, or simply prank them. It’s generally best to leave your parents out of it unless it’s a really serious situation. You might as well get your revenge in a fun way through a prank.
  3. 3
    Choose your prank. Make sure it isn't a predictable prank. There are so many great pranks out there, there’s no reason to fall back on one that's boring. Pranks have all sorts of levels of intensity so choose one based on how much revenge you're looking for.
    • If you know good pranks, write them in a notebook and keep it in a place no one would look such as in your desk, under a pillow, or in a box. Keep your ideas secret until you decide to act.

        • If you choose to get revenge by getting your sibling in trouble, be careful. This could easily backfire.
        • Give them an Oreo but eat the cream, and replace it with white tooth paste.
        • If your sibling is younger then hide all their toys and act as though you don't know anything. This will make them very frustrated.
        • Don’t do anything that your mom or dad will punish you for doing it.
        • If someone is very artsy then dip the tips of their pens or pencils in clear nail polish, it's hilarious when they can't write, plus they won't understand how it happened!
        • If your sibling is crafty in the prank department and likes to get back at you, try topping them every time.
        • Make sure not to hide the things in a place that that they wouldn’t naturally be misplaced. Put it under their bed or in a crack of the sofa.
        • Hide under their bed while they're sleeping so that way, when they wake up, you can grab them by the leg if you are still not asleep.
        • Make sure the prank is appropriate and not harmful to their well-being.
        • Don't pull a prank that puts your sibling in the hospital or physically harms them.
        • If you have a gamer sibling, take all of his video games that work, that are his favorites, all of them, and hide them where you know they won't be able to find them.
        • If your siblings have a sign on the door to their room, silently take it off when they aren't looking, and confuse them by repeatedly doing it.
        • Try scaring them in the most unsuspecting places. They will be mad if you do that a couple of times, just don’t physically hurt them.
        • When your sibling isn't looking, take all of their makeup, and if you are really mad, take all their favorite clothes, or the ones that they have laid out for the next day.
        • Don't do anything that you might regret in the future. It's easy to go too far when you're upset or angry. Instead, try to do something funny that you can all laugh about afterward.
        • Make subtle hints about your upcoming pranks, but don't be too obvious.
        • Pour water into their bed.
        • If your parents are the type to get angry about pranks, don't make them too severe. Play it safe.
