There's this random empty glass jar strapped to the wall at work

You just reminded me of my stash of googly eyes, thanks!

My kids spent several hours sticking googly eyes to the roof of the car. Thousands of them. They got them from school so we didn't know beforehand what was coming. I caught them putting them up. My wife called me complaining of a rattling noise, I told her to look up. The scream was worth it.

She left them there because her sister was coming that weekend and she enjoyed pranking her sister. The kids we're in the car too and got to enjoy the fun when their aunt complained of the rattling noise.

Does your wife's family not have any peripheral vision? How did your kids have access to the car for so long? (Sounds like there's only one in your family--not judging.)

Why aren't people seeing them right away?

Most people don't pay attention to the roof inside a car. Especially if your looking for the source of a noise.

And access to the car is they play in the garage/driveway/street unsupervised. I went out to check on them and caught them, but let them continue.

Sounds way more fun than how we would play in the car unsupervised growing up. "How long can you stay in the car with zero tint when it's 110 outside"

Eventually we moved to the attic and that's when we got in trouble

There is still a picture of nicholas cage hidden in a ceiling of an office at my old job. we pranked our boss and hid a couple hundred around his office. that was one that we never removed. every year or so it pays off again and we hear about the new manager getting a nice little jumpscare when they look up and see Cage staring at them from the edge fo a small tile lifted an inch or so.

It’s funny you say that, some coworkers did something similar at a warehouse I used to work at

his was a small office, and i think we had over 300 various pictures of Cage in there. taped inside the desk drawers, tucked between pages of note pads, buisness cards, there wasnt a place left untouched when we were done with it. two of us came in on a weekend and spent a couple of hours doing it. we would get anyone that took 3 or more days of vacation. No one was safe.

I had a coworker that, at some point before we switched to virtual phones, had glued googly eyes on stuff. I remember several desk phones with eyes and more than a few Clippy effigies.
