Fun in the shop

[Twisted4x4]

Ok this thread was inspired by the "Cubicil Pranks". Now I work in a machine shop, so therefore no cubicils. But that dont mean theres no shortage of fun/pranks. Post up any kinds of pranks youve pulled on co-workers. Heres a couple of my favorites.

Grease filled air nozzle, remove the fitting from the air nozzle, pump it full of grease, preplace fitting and air line, enjoy the results

High pressure water bottle, poke a hole in the cap of a empty water bottle and stick your air nozzle in it, fill with air and BOOM!!!! Just wear ear plugs 1st.

Tic-Tac Bullets, basics are air nozzle, mcdonalds straw, and tic-tacs. CAUTION, this is capable of denting 1/4" steel plate

we shoot ear plugs through a piece of tube with an air gun... shut off people's machines using isolators they dont normally use, that gets them thinking. turn off air at odd places too. taking tools they are using when they arent looking. all of our machines have multiple emergency stops, so if they are sitting idle for something, just hit a random stop and make them hunt for which one it is before they can start it back up. can't really think of anything else, boss wont let us get away with anything too crazy.

Easy. I've had pranks played on me before. At one job, the boss sent me to find a squeege sharpener.

I found it above the buckets of elbow grease, next to the left-handed screwdrivers and the all 16ths wreches.

Squeege sharpeners do exist.

I tack welded a guys Vise-Grips to the table. Shoot little bits of dried body filler through a straw like your tic-tac bullets, those are always fun. Hide people's catalyst for their filler, etc. Good times!

Have guys locate the plate shrinker/stretcher.

Can't work on anything until you've filled out your ID-10-T form. That one I've heard was popular with new recruits in the military.

My assistant manager was in the bathroom one day so i decided to put a full pallet right in front of the door so he couldnt get out. I opened up the circuit breaker and shut off the lights in the bathroom and then waited for him to try and get out. Once he started having trouble getting the door open he pretty much smashed through it. We were both written up but it was worth it.

Those are all pretty good. I used to work in the Home Depot Tool Rental. Me and another guy were the ones who always fixed things. Whenever Harold was working on something I would sneak in extra parts into his parts pile. Would drive him nuts tryin to figure out where he left something out Also used to send a certain cart boy to other stores to fetch our carts, of course these other stores were 1/4 mile away or better lol.

Opps almost forgot one of my fav Home Depot pranks. Called the hardware department and asked if they made keys, then asked if it had to be the orginal or if it could be a copy. Guy said it could be a copy. I said great, I need 5 of this key, Ill fax a copy and pick it up around 3. He paused for a moment and said that he couldnt use a copy like that, that he needed the key. So I questioned, I need the orginal key then? He said no I can use a copy. I told him good Ill fax it to you and hung up. I then called my manager and told him what I had done, He then called the guy and said he just recieved a fax of a key and asked if he knew anything of it. Hardware guy didnt find it too funny, in fact he clocked out and went home lol.

I had a car alarm weird up in side a motor craft 820 box i uses to set the thing in parts with the thing set. or a air bag wired to a RC car tied to the horn of the RC car fun times.

While I was in the AF, we had a FNG go get a reel of flightline and a can of dial tone. I was in telephone maintenance. He spent the better part of 2 hrs looking before we had to tell him it was a joke. Needless to say he was an idiot.

Grease door handles, classic garage humor.

When I was working at a hardware store one of my coworkers put a terribly perfumy air freshener in our managers car. She thought it was me so she put it in mine. I inquired about it and my coworker eagerly said it was the manager. So I stuck some paper towels under her wiper and greased her door handle.

She loved it, couldn't figure out what the deal was with the paper towels until she went to open the door. I also left a note so she knew who it was that time.

Lovin the fact that you were nice enough to provide the paper towels.
