Montreal man goes on vacation, friends ‘redecorate’ home for his return

When Jonathan Montpetit left on vacation to Nicaragua last week, he asked a friend to take care of his home.

He wasn’t expecting his friends to “redecorate” his home while he was gone.

“(The friend) asked five of my other friends to help give me a little surprise,” Montpetit told Global News, adding he got home from the airport at 1 a.m. on Aug. 15.

Rows and rows of white cups meticulously lined the floor of his home, tin foil enveloped his appliances and colourful sticky notes completely covered his bathroom.

Montpetit, who works as a firefighter for the cities of Montreal and Vaudreuil-Dorion, said it took the six friends five hours to complete the prank.

“Crazy guys,” he said laughing.

It took the 26-year-old two hours to clean up the mess.

“I was a little bit desperate the first minute, but it was way too funny to be angry about it,” he told Global News.

“It’s my type of humour. As firefighters we always do pranks like that, but this one was creative.”

He said he’s currently “investigating” to figure out who are the six suspects involved in the “crime.”

And yes, he says there will be pay-back.

“Let’s just say, I will remember it and soon, we will see a Part Two of this prank,” he laughed.

“I have some name in my head. I will find out soon and probably do the same, but worst for sure. I always do a little bit more.”
