Fake outlet stickers are the most entertaining airport prank ever!

Magritte was a French surrealist known for his Treachery of Images series that commented on the meaning of imagery and how images can trick the viewer. While Magritte has been dead since 1967, a legion of impostors is terrorizing the world's airports — with fake outlet stickers.

These stickers are shaped just like an actual outlet, with texture and a perspective that renders them quite convincing. The outlet is actually a sticker, all alone and surface mounted, inviting the poor victim to ram a charger into the non-existent outlet. Yep, that's perhaps one of the nastiest pranks on the world's power-hungry traveler. It's also hilarious from the outside and surely frustrating – and embarrassing — for those fooled by the stickers.

The faux outlets are popping up like a plague of locusts descending on terminals worldwide, with listings calling for massive enjoyment for those travelers who "really want to screw with people and watch them be super confused." Prank victims have called this "Satan's handiwork" on a Reddit thread, and the recent mainstream coverage of the faux outlet issue will only fuel more outlet rage.

Thankfully, airports are beginning to re-vamp their power offerings to account for the jump in power required by the modern traveler. Given the way that airport terminals have begun to look like massive charging armies wrapping like curly cues all over each other, this prank could provide some hearty laughter during an otherwise unmemorable lengthy layover. Should your mischievous side win out, here's where you can get the fake outlets.
