Pranks - have you done any to work mates?

[jphanna]

This guy I worked with used to come to work with a moped…but used to have a helmet that would look more at home on an R1 or some other hot bike….not a ****ant moped.

Anyway he used to leave his helmet facing the same way on his desk every day and I put a note on the back of it with sticky tape.

‘LOVE FOR SALE’ and hoped he didn’t notice it. He didn’t and drove through town in peek hour on a moped with that on the back of his helmet. I thought it was funny, but he got me back eventually.

Did you do anything to work mates?

Heaps!

Used to get black insulation tape and tape up the welding lense on the inside, poor apprentice would be trying to strike an arc blind.

I have Glued a workmates thongs to the floor, when he put them on and tried to walk off he fell over. He paid me back though, found a nice grease ring in my earmuff, after i put it on...

Makes the work day bearable. :

[Charliewool]

Ahhhhhhh... Apprentice days!.. Graphite grease on the black toilet seats and superglue on the white ones.
Bearing blue on the nose piece of safety glasses. Welding toolboxes to the bench.
Etc Etc... (BTW, HEAPS of previous threads on this topic!) http://www.fordforums.com.au/search....archid=3318879

A mate decided to silicone my tool box to the floor one friday arvo, that sh#t really sticks em down!

Wasnt so funny the next week, used a handy 300T crane, when he found his box it was 60ft up on top of a silo, he had to carry it down a ladder, piece by piece.

I pay for it regularly though, got home the other night to find my drive, fence, front door and house plastered in QUARANTINE tape (cop style).

Got myself a give way sign from thye council depot to put in his front yard tonight, it will go well with the Real Estate OPEN FOR INSPETION sign!

First thing tomorrow he will be woken by people wanting a look !!!!


Ahhhh, the : things we do

[Whitey-AMG]

Not exactly on a workmate...but to one of our regular drivers....


We packed one of our staff into a large box..........yes a live human being...........LOL
Helped the courier pack the box onto his van.........just as he was about to drive off.........the guy jumps out of the box and starts screaming.....

The driver absolutely *&^(#@^ himself.........stops and JUMPS out and won't go anywhere near the van.......we're on the floor doubled up.......took us ages to reassure him that it wasn't anything X Files in his van trying to get out.........suffice to say, he never picked up any large suspicious looking parcels from us again without opening them 1st.............

Top bloke and luckily saw the funny side to it........
We still laugh about it 4 years later.

There was this pretty young receptionist at my old work.

Anyways, we were pretty good mates. Came up to April fools day.

Now I remember a few weeks before she was saying how she was mucking around with the airbox on her yaris to see if she could put a pod filter on it. Anyways, On april fools day her car was in getting a warrenty service.

This is where the fun begins. I rang from an external phone and claimed to be such and such from Pacific Toyota, rahh rahh, you tampered with your airbox now your warrenty is void, so you are going to have to pay $1000 for the service, come in and talk so we can discuss your options.

She got really upset on the phone but I never gave in.

After that I walked downstairs to see her and she started ranting and raving onto me about toyota, freaking out about how her warrenty is void, rahh rahh, where am I gonna get the cash, etc etc

She rang up both her parents, all that. Whinged to everyone at work.

Then I emailed and said, "listen, i'll take you out to lunch, love Jack"

Jack was the name I used to stage the call from toyota.

She clicked.

I dare say she was quite angry.

Back in the days when I worked at Coles, we had a group of newbies start in different departments at the same time.

So when the store closed we start messing round and flinging our shoes at each other and one of the newbies got involved. When that happened, the game stopped and he got his shoes stolen and about an hour later we let him know where they were. We had got on the scissor lift out the back and put them in the steel beams in the roof.

He was convinced to get on the scissor lift and let us boost him up.....stupid mistake, we left him up there for 45mins and wasnt brought down until the duty manager relized he wasn't working.

We tried the same thing quite a few times after this with different people, but it never worked like the first time.

As an apprentice always found bib and brace overalls comfy, the guys on nightshift used the crane,hooked my straps and left me hanging just so that i could tippy toe n touch the floor, to the guys reading this and know what im on about, my nuts ached for a good 5-6 hrs afterwards. Got one of them back, welded his tool box to the bench, drilled a grease nipple in and filled it with a good 40L of grease. Seen an apprentice cable tied to a fence and his pants filled with grease from a pneumatic gun. Had another smartarse fill a 2L coke bottle with acet/oxy and fit a sparkplug to it, used my sparklead and an earth and watched patiently, yeah it really freaked me out when i started it. So in return i connected his kill switch wires together on his XR600, right under the switch itself. Bloke had no idea and was interesting to see him push his bike home. Told him what i had done about 5 days later. Chicken Treat now theres a story!!!

A guy at work has a turbo Subaru Liberty - he is fairly particular about it, keeps it very clean, so messing with his car is usually a bad idea. The guys had been throwing the term "Hommus" around a fair bit at each other - if you can't guess what that means, try www.urbandictionary.com. Printed out "Hommus1", removed the number plate cover and inserted the piece of paper, replaced the cover.

We wanted him to see it before driving off - the joke would have backfired if he got done for number plate infringements on the road. So we put it on the back and dropped hints when he left for the day. Got a picture and sent it to a couple of others via e-mail.

Another guy at work threw half a cup of water at me in the face, then ran off. It was a hot day and being a black car, he put it in the shade and left the windows down a bit. I poured a full cup of water on his seat. Went back later and added more, but by the time he left after me, most of it dried.

We've had a few. Working with some IT geeks is great. One time one of them loaded a program onto anothers workstation, which was quite amusing. Remotely run the program and it would open the DVD drive. We then put it in a scheduled task to run every 10 minutes. It didn't last long, but funny.

Same guy left from work, and I decided to get him one the old fashion way. I rang him to say that something critical has happened and we are in a meeting with senior management and he needs to call this other guy. He can't call out, and I can't get a message to him, so he needs to ring him ASAP. The number I gave him to call was for a place in Canberra called the Mustang Ranch. This is a gay mens club. Within 30 seconds, my phone rings, and it's him. He had a good laugh. Pretty funny stuff.

[mongoloid]

I work in an underground mine and there are pranks a-plenty. Typical ones like lube/grease in the door handles, helmet, loader controls.

Some of the better ones included re-routing the windscreen sprayer hose of a light truck to inside the cab, they then threw heaps of mud on the windscreen so the next shift as soon as they got in the cab tried to clean the windscreen...

Also in the change rooms there has been opening someone locker, solasticing everything to the bottom, then solasticing the door closed, pulling the handle off and solasticing it back on so it pulls of istantly.

Also ping pong balls in the locker, good prank and all you need is a bit of cardboard and heaps of ping pong balls and you can fill it right up.

At my old job (computer store) we had this english bloke who was quick to play jokes on us but always got really cut when someone was to play one in return. Anyway, when he was out one day we mucked around with the keyboard/mouse connections and the LAN and printer cables at the back of his PC which was in a hutch in his desk. At a glance they looked like they were correctly plugged in and everything was in order. He came back about half an hour after we had done this and straight away tried to use his PC. The cursing and swearing when he was bashing the keys and mouse trying to get them to work to no avail. He then kept trying to reset the computer and get it to work still to no avail. He then punched the front of his PC (which cracked the front panel of the case) and unplugged everything and slammed it down on his desk and yelled for us to FIX IT! (I was one of the techs and he was the corporate salesman) He then went out of the store and didn't return for about 3 hours, nobody knew where he went.

At my new job I haven't really had too much of a chance to play many pranks - putting random messages for staff members over the PA system is always amusing as well as turning the PA on before handing a cordless phone to another staff member is always good because they get a shock hearing themselves echoing all over the store.

[Hemicuda]

Detonating warranty airbags next to an unsuspecting apprentice was always good for a laugh.

[ratman]

smearing vegemite on the inside of the door handle to the toilets, glad wrap placed tightly over the toilet bowl - works well when they are in a rush. Screen capture on their computers, hiding a fart machine under the receptionists table and waiting for the couriers to come in, opening about 6 yellow pages to the escorts section and placing them over the new boys desk when they ar out to lunch - yeh, we do plenty.

[5L]

not than inventive at my work, we just normally turn the gas off on there forklift when they go to the toilet.

they drive around for about 30 seconds and it shuts off, sometimes they cant work it out.

when i was getting trained to do the forklift job at work, the training officer got me to test the chemical saftey shower (it turns on by stepping on the floor) i didnt know this and stepped right on it to try and find the tap. i only got a little bit wet, it could of been much worst. he thought it was a crack up.

[Alby1]

gotta love the pranks at work, Putting silicon under the esky handle,
Screwing there esky to the ground,
silicon esky shut,
nailing there tool bag to ground, timber frame

Some guys would turn it off at my old work while you were on the forklift - and stationary. Usually a tag team effort - one engages you in conversation, the other sneaks around and turns it off.

[jphanna]

another one i did at work which i got hammered for by the big boss was i went onto my mates computer (he left the desk obviously) and typed on his email to a girl (very large boobs!) in the other side of the room,

'hi Ruth, can we arrange a time and palce to have a look at your boobs?'

then i waited for her to leave her desk and then typed a reply,

'sure 3.00pm in the basement, see you there'


i dont have to tell you that it upset a few people and i got fried for this....

[290v]

put a drop of locktight in the press studs of their overhalls before they arrive, they curse you later when they come out of the toilet

I do that as well at work. It's hilarious. One of the guys says to me that i'll never get him. No more then 10 minutes later the fork lift suddenly doesn't work any more :P

[XR2DOOR]

we taped a new blokes hands to his head real funny ,till he had to go to hospital to get it removed ,

[itchy brother]

We had one particular apprentice who fell for it all the time!

We were adjusting some cupboard doors and aske him to get the left handed screw driver out of the tool box.
He looked and asked which one it was and got told that it was the green handled one with the bent tip, which he then brought over!

Another time we sent him up the road to tower fasteners to get a packet of sky hooks!
The guy who worked there clicked to what was up and played along by giving him a packet of small screw in hooks, which when he brought them back, had us in stitches!

Then their is the classic long wait!

We sent him to the office to ask the boss if he could have a long wait.
The boss said to him to take a seat and he would be right with him!
Finally told him he could go after 30 minutes!!! :hihi: :hihi:

[Burnout]

Bloke I knew worked on the top floor which gave him access to that part of the roof the pigeons roosted on at night.

He amused himself for years putting them in the top drawer of peoples desks, stuffing one in the toilet bowls in the ladies, then putting the seat down.

Once he grabbed a poor bird, tied 30 or 40 feet of toilet paper to one of its legs and lit the end and let the bird go.... It flew around the top of the building trailing dunny paper & smoke.

As it was an old building it had rats - so when he became bored with pigeons he stated collecting the Carpet Snakes who lived on the rats & I suppose the pigeons as well, and he would deposit these serpents in all the usual places around the building. This caused huge consternation including the near destruction of the foreman's' Ute. The foreman was terrified of snakes so a particularly large docile 'carpetie' was entwined in the steering wheel of the Ute. The foreman leaving at dusk failed to spot the animal until he was reversing the Ute from the yard. His discovery of the snake occurred at the same time as his foot tried to push the throttle through the floor as the foreman exited the vehicle amid loud yelling.
The Ute complete with snake then ran backwards through the Yard fence across the street and through a roller door of the joint across the street, where it traveled in a straight line about 60 yards, down a corridor in between all this stuff stacked either side, stopping up against the brick wall at the other end of the building.

^^ That's great, but I'd have shot the bastard.

[Quasi]

I'm known for this stuff actually. Many years ago was one of my best.

Whilst working for thye ACT government's IT agency I was in a bit of a battle with a girl there, to see who could come out on top. One day I simply asked her if she had a middle name, or confirmation name (Italian girl), and she willingly gave it up, not bothering to ask why I wanted to know.

The next day she thought to ask, so I told her that I needed it to sign her up for an online dating service. Naturally she didn't believe me.....until I showed her the site and proceeded to log in as her......I won.

[HavocXR8]

one day the boss was playing pranks and making jokes to me and another workmate, so when he left for the day (around lunchtime) we emptied his top draw and put no more gaps around all the edges, put all his stuff back in there and put jelly in his draw, so in the middle of a canberra winter it sets

[OLDFORDNUT]

we used to gaffa tape new guys hands and ankles together then put the gantry hook on gaffa tape around ankles and hoist then 20 feet into the air over the printing press,
funniest one was a real smartarse we left him there over lunch and he started crying with anger,yelled that loud the big boss came out to see what all the noise was and when he saw the boss he told yelled at boss who just laughed at him and went back into the office with him hanging there

[JamesR]

yeah, some of these pranks are funny, but some are just outright stupid.
