Le ignoré, c'est moi? It certainly hurts to be a non-someone when the competition for H.R.H.'s attention are Penske socks.
As for practical jokes, when I did my first trial, I was trailing for an available courtroom on three-hour notice. The morning of the second day, I got a phone message saying the clerk had called and giving a department number. I nearly shat myself, and immediately called the client and all the witnesses telling them to be in the courtroom in less than three hours. I ran around the office like a madman getting everything ready. My supervising partner intercepted me in the parking lot, saying it had been a joke and the clerk hadn't called yet. I would have hauled off an hit him, but he was bigger than me and had played rugby. I had to call the client and say that it had been a mixup in the clerk's office, which was true only in the most literary sense.
Apropos of nothing, I've decided that the only reason the Bible calls homosexuality an "abomination" is that the ancient Hebrews hadn't yet heard Fleetwood Mac, which would have put the word into proper perspective.
