We celebrate National Girlfriend Day with some of the most shocking pranks lads have played on their ladies… from glueing on a moustache to putting chilli in her thong
This is your complete 'what not to do' guide
IT IS National Girlfriend Day and across the globe loving boyfriends are lavishing their significant others with praise and attention on this day dedicated to them... possibly.
It is however, more likely that the majority of people don't recognise this as true holiday and life has continued as normal.
While the latter is not the dream scenario, it is better than the treatment some long-suffering girlfriends have to endure.
It appears some fellas prefer "tease and trick" over the more commonly preferred "love and cherish".
Prankster lads have been tricking their girlfriends for years but recently things have stepped up a notch.
From chilli in the underwear to covering your girlfriend in SNAKES, it appears nothing is off limits for these daring lads.
So to mark their creativity and pay respect to the women who put up with them, we have collected our favourites from around the web.
If you hope to keep your girlfriend... best not to try these at home.

What is National Girlfriend Day?
National Girlfriend's Day is on August 1 each year.
It is designed to celebrate girl friends around the world - both romantic and platonic.
