I’ve started some great friendships by doing just this. Don’t just pretend to run into an acquaintance. Pretend that you just ran into your old best friend X (X is totally awesome BTW, it’s been way too long since you’ve seen them, and OMG do you remember when X did Y? It was so cool).
Requirements: an upstanding and respected mutual friend, an endorsement that a prank will be well received, and a victim with a sense of humor.
