Pranks at the shop...lets hear them

[dsmhero]

We have a bunch of jokers at the shop I work at and we love playing pranks and scaring each other. Some pranks would be:

1. Hidden pin holes in pop cans, right near the chin :D
2. Gluing stuff down, like bottle caps and mags.
3. To the new guy, "wow my spray gun sure heats up this air, feel it"...SPLAT!
4. YOUR TURN!

I want some ideas!

I was at work one cold morning, when I noticed a guy outside having touble starting his car (he'd just finished the night shift), now this guy was one hell of a know-it-all, bossy as hell, and generally annoys anybody and everybody (come on, you know one of them, right?!)
I went outside and asked him if he needed a jump start. I get the jump leads out of my car, someone else comes to lend a hand and we get the car going. No words of thanks were forthcoming..... So...
I told him "Do you know, that if you lift the hood on your car and drive round in reverse gear three times, it helps warm the engine up"

Yep, every morning for two weeks we watched him from the staff kitchen. Round and round, round and round.

Some of you have heard this story before, but one of our members from here, AreJay, walked into my shop before I had ever even met him, and asks me for a sign. I didn't know who he was when he walked in.

"Okay" I say, "what do you have in mind". "A sign" he says. "How much is it?"

"What sort of sign?" "I don't know until you tell me how much it is."

This got to be very tedious in a short amount of time. All I could get out of him was that he wanted a sign and demanding a price. No other pertinent information was forthcoming.

About 15 minutes into the conversation, just as I was about to tell him to go pound sand, he busted out laughing and confessed that he was another sign guy from another town and had stopped in just to mess with me.

"We all had a good laugh sitting on the group W bench playing with the pencils" (Tell me where that came from)

I introduced AreJay to this place and he became a very active member for a while. Haven't seen him around lately though. Maybe I'll call him up and tell him I need a sign.

[XZOTIC INK]

they say,,HEY NAT,,THAT GUY OVER THERE IS THROWING OUT SOME ART MAGAZINES,,and i go stumbling over pulling trash out,,,JERKS,,LOL

A friend of mine went into the bathroom. So I took a rope and tied the door shut. Then I went out to the shop and swept the flor quick and piled it in front of the door. Then I took the air hose and blew the whole pile in on him. I kept doin that every once in a while for 45 minutes. He looked like a grey old man when he got out of there. He wanted to kick my ass, good luck!

Another time I chased him out of the shop. When the door flew open he about hit a potential customer. I felt terrible, not sure how to appologize, at this time my buddy is about 50 yards away, I looked at the guy and said "Damn non paying customers. Come on in. What can I do for ya?"

[Shiva]

commercial cabinet shop- the floor sweep guy smoked a pipe.. ONE DAY on his lunch break, the pipe wouldnt draw.. the tobacco was perfect, wouldnt light tho, and he couldnt suck air through it..

AMAZING what white glue/sawdust/ and pipe tobacco looks like..


one time a lady in my town could not get her car door open-key wouldnt go in.. called the cops to open the door so she could go to work.. turned out that not only were the door locks glued, BUT the weather strip at the bottom of the door glass was glued TO the glass...


and how about the blond, in New Orleans.. came out of the store (TRUE, BTW), had a handfull load of packages on Christmas eve.. Two locksmiths were watching from across the street..
She walked up to the car, propped the packages carefully against the car and tried with 1 hand to open the door.. locked..
walked around and was going to try the OTHER door, and 1 locksmith said to the other, wonder if we are going to get to unlock that car for her???
the OTHER door was locked, so she takes the packages and carefull piles them on the trunk, gets her keys out of her purse and opens the door..
folds the front seat forward, gets the packages off the trunk, and puts in back seat.. fixes seat and climbs in, and drives off..

so-whats wrong? was a convertible with the top down..

[Stang]

I was workin in a shop for just a couple weeks to help em catch up. This kid workin there thought he was the cock with the walk. He got a new DA and was startin to sand on a bus. I hid behind another bus and crimped the hose so the DA would barely work. Every few seconds I would give it air then make it die back down, sometimes letting it go a couple minutes. That went on for a while so he tried one of the old DA's. Naturally I let that work fine. So he tries his new one. For some reason that damn thing wouldn't work. When he started taking it apart I walked up with the air hose in my hand. What a way to introduce yourself.

[Full Blast]

OK... Retired Air Force here... haahaaaa
Send the new kid out for "Prop wash" or "jet blast"... or hey kid go get some "flight line"... thats what the tarmac is called.... Send em for "pallet stretchers" our cargo pallets are made out of metal. haahaaaa

:lame: I know... :nenner:

[dsmhero]

Wow some of those are hilarious!! Any suggestions for my next prank?

[Stang]

This one is long but worth the read.
I have a friend in Oklahoma that sells funnel cakes and corn dogs at fair. This year she stayed home while hubby went on the road. We talk all the time. We get to talkin how her husband wants her to send him a video of her enjoying herself. I tell her any good wife would do that. Time goes by and I call her on Febuary 15. She always answers the phone, except for today. I left her a message. "Are your fingers sore from makin that video, as mine are from callin all my girls?" A few minutes later she calls me freakin out. I had no idea she sent him a video. She asked If I had gotten the video. Who am I not to just roll with this one. I told her YES I DID, THANK YOU. She's freakin out so bad askin a hundred questions, but she was freakin so bad she would answer them for me too. I just rolled with it. I tell her I had to go, I would call her back soon. I let her go for about an hour. Called her back, "Cathi, I got good news and bad news." almost in tears she says "WHAT" "bad news is, it's 28 below here. The good news is you sent me that video and it's keepin me warm." She is just freakin out. Then I tell her my phone is about to die and hung up on her. The next morning I have my buddy call her. "Hi Cathi, this is Dave, Stang's friend, you don't know me but I borrowed his phone yesterday and seen that video and sent it to all my friends. So there's about a dozen guys here in Iowa with that video." I could here her on the other end "That @(!*#$ *@#&%$983 I'm gonna kill that &@#*)(# )@#($. He hangs up and I give her about an hour and called her. "Cathi, I got bad news" "WHAT NOW?" "I didn't realize this but I loaned my buddy my phone and he sent that video to all his buddy's. I gotta let ya go and try and get them to delete it before they send it out." "OK HURRY UP" Then I called her husband who is in FL at a fair and tell him what's goin on, so he can get in on the joke. He told me a few things about the video in case she asked questions. Nothing personal just that it had her phone number at the end of it and how long it lasted. That kinda back fired on me though. He wanted to see how honest she was and asked her questions. I waited till the afternoon and called her and told her it was all a big joke and I never really got the video. She thought that she pushed the wring button and sent it to everybody on her list. The neighbor that always came over for breakfast called and passed that morning. She thought it was cause he got the video. She thought her dad got the video. She was ready to move out of OK. A few months later her husband is pissed at me. Cathi refuses to send any self appreciation videos over the phone now. Her husband told all their friends. after the fact we thought it would've been funny for him to call all their friends and have them start callin and thankin her. I was laughin so hard I was cryin.

[dsmhero]

WOW! Thank you for the long story. HAHAHa!! What a great joke, too bad you ruined it for him!

[airarts]

I used to work at a Country Club here in Phoenix/Glendale, and the cooks and myself were always pulling pranks on each other. They would ask me for a Pepsi, and I would put Soy Sauce in it, or they would give me the wrong order (if they new the member was cool) and make me look like an ass. Sometimes they would see how much heat I could handle. If we had an old lady whine that the coffee was to cold, we would nuke it to H2O's hottest point, 190 degrees, and see if she whined anymore. They never did after that.

This is a very long story about a very long prank, so settle in and enjoy.

A friend of mine worked in the engineering department of a large manufacturing company. It was a big department with about a dozen engineers and a half-dozen engineering techs. One of the techs was a guy named Frank. He was a nice enough guy, but overall a large PITA. He was a nit picker of the first order. If you asked Frank a question, he answered at great length in a sing song monotone voice. The joke was that you didn't really need to listen to Frank, just grunt when he paused and he would keep right on talking. Some of the engineers said they dozed off when listening to Frank.
Frank decided one day that he needed a new car to replace the ten-year-old model he drove to work every day. After several weeks of debating and starting a few Chevy vs. Ford arguments among the engineers, Frank finally drove his new car to work. The parking lot was sectioned off and clearly visible from the department windows on the second floor. I don't want to reveal the make or model of car in order to protect the innocent, but one of the engineers had a cousin working in the service dept. of the dealership where Frank had bought the car.
A small group of engineers decided to fix Frank. When Frank arrived in the morning, one of the engineers would send him downstairs to the manufacturing department on some errand or other. Those engineers parking later than Frank took turns adding a gallon of gas to Frank's car. During the week, one of the engineers would be certain to ask Frank how his new car was doing. At first, Frank said it was doing fine, but after a couple of weeks, he had a worried look and announced he was taking the car back to the dealer for service. He said something was wrong because it was getting 237 miles to the gallon of gas. The cousin reported that Frank had the dealer check the entire engine and fuel system and couldn't find anything wrong.
Rather than keep on with the gas, the engineers took turns dumping first a cup of antifreeze, then a cup of engine oil on the ground under Frank's car. This entire prank ran about six months and Frank pretty much wore out his welcome at the dealership.
Finally Frank was looking from the first floor window and saw one of the guys doing his thing. Frank got so mad he didn't talk to anyone in the engineering department for two weeks.

[Stang]

That was good. Quite a few steps up from the "grease under the door handle trick"

[dsmhero]

That's a great story! He had to have laughed a little bit. I know I would!

[redanner]

I was working in a body shop back in the 1970s and the shop also had a muffler business! First of all spiders give me the willys! So this guy that does mufflers throws a great big wood spider at me and I jumped to the ceiling! So I wait a few days and when he got under a car with a cutting torch and welding glasses on I tip-toed over to where he was standing and lit a fire cracker and drop it at his feet! That was the last time he mess around with me! He said he was sure that he was going to die!

[corey]

Today I hooked a airhorn to the shop refrigerator door and about gave the secratary a heart attack at 8 am when she went to get her creamer. Her coffee went flying across the kitchen area and all over the wall.
Our phones are red and last week before I left for Denver I put Katsup on the salesmens earpiece. Irony was he was calling me when he found it.
Ive left those little zapper pens that shock the hell outta ya all over the place and people still pick them up everyonce in a while and get a buzz.
My boss is a hunt and peck typer so I rearranged his keys on his key board. Also turne his flat plasma tv upside down . Ive done quite a bit more in the prank area.

[dsmhero]

i love it. Which reminds me, one of our painters had a little toy gun that was a flash light if you pulled the hammer back and a huge shock if you pulled the trigger. Well I went up to one of our body guys and said, "hey check out my new light I got!" without saying a word he took it out of my hands and started to pull the hammer back then the trigger.......ZAPP!! he threw that thing straight up in the air!


redanner - dont worry I am afraid of spiders, DEATHLY afraid of them

Several years ago we had a guy that bought a Mustang GT. He was always going on about it being the cream of the crop and fastest in town. We took wooden 8x8 blocks and put under his car. The tires were just off the ground when he got in to go home after work. We couldn't contain ourselves listening to him revving the engine. He came back inside to call the dealership that the transmission was busted. They sent a tow truck to pick it up and we were all standing there to help. We laughed till we cried when the tow truck driver told him what we had done to him. He never talked about the car much after that.

[anderekel]

HAHAHAHA, that's great tat, gotta teach the guy a lesson lol

[Steelhorse]

Back when I did custom house painting and wallpaper....we would make sure that everyone would carry a rag...we always carried them in our back pocket....for little clean up's etc.

If I noticed a member of my crew not wearing his rag...I gave him one!!!!

Soaked with a tad bit of mineral spirits.....by the the time he felt the burn/itch....it was too late....solvent burn!!!

I know...very cruel! But it was an on going joke in the house painter trade!

I had it done to me and I never was on a job without a rag in my pocket after the first time it was done to me.

[Tatakai]

I had this done to me one day in the paint booth which was only 8x4 foot cubby hole thing. Was painting some car parts and Jerry threw in a M80 firecracker. I couldn't hear for a couple days after that one. I did get him back later with one of those car bombs you used to be able to get at the fireworks stores. Two wires and it would smoke and whistle and go BOOOMM! We were always doing stupid stuff like that to each other.

A friend of mine called me at work one day. As soon as I got off the phone, I buzzed my secretary and asked her if he had told her who he was. She said no. I told her that he was a friend who worked for the phone company and that he was calling to let me know that they would be working on the lines for the next 30 minutes. I told her that there had been some complaints about "static" in the lines and that they would be blowing the dust out of the phone lines. Further, I told her that he said we should cover the phones with a towel or rag so that dust wouldn't fly up from the hand set. When I walked back into the office, she was covering the third one. I think, if I could've kept a straight face, she would've covered them all. She didn't think it was near as funny as I did.

It's not very good, but it made me smile. I was pricing some pottery stuff at the store and found a couple that were broken into a few big pieces. They fit back together perfectly though, so I set them upside down on the counter and put them back together so that you couldn't tell unless you looked carefully. So, my manager comes up and asks what they are, I told her they were just a couple thing that I had priced from what they gave me to do, she goes ok, put them away. She then proceeded to try and pick one up and it fell apart, hehe. She thought it was funny though :nature-smiley-003:

I think that guy deserved to get fired nat, there's no singling out certain people to pick on, that's just mean.
