Harmelss Workplace gags -share em here .

[Andy Greene]

I saw a post elsewhere that brought back some really funny workplace gags we used to pull in the day. Keep in mind I spent the better part of 20 years working in the automotive service industry - and those guys are BRUTAL .

i WILL START IT OFF-

One of the MANY favorites are the lesson the UPS man got about crapping in our shop toilet on a daily basis, that guy was rotten inside to say the least and we asked him to find another -place- many times. Well after that fell on deaf ears time and time again, he got the old Taco Bell treatment-
A well placed pre-split pack of FIRE sauce under the toilet seat works wonders

Dont even get me started about the coolant and soda bottle bombs / shock seat treatment/saftey clean shop rag balls or the ol ciggy butt in the open pocket

Next ............

we used to do the "death by a thousand cuts" method of pranking. One day, we did this to a guy:

- epoxied his chair to the floor

- used electrical tape to surreptitiously tape his laptop lid closed

- used tape to cover the ball on his PC mouse

- used double-sided tape to stick his phone handset to the base

- turned the system volume all the way up and changed all sounds in Windows to a guy yelling "HEY EVERYBODY! I'M WATCHING PORN OVER HERE!!!"

that last one taught him to lock his laptop whenever away from his desk.

Now THATS good stuff-

- turned the system volume all the way up and changed all sounds in Windows to a guy yelling "HEY EVERYBODY! I'M WATCHING PORN OVER HERE!!!"

that last one taught him to lock his laptop whenever away from his desk.

We had a guy I worked with at many shops over the years that was - damn good at "getting you" with the classic coolant bottle air bomb and what not when you least expected it. Needless to say, after a while of not being able to share the same LOVE -we had to get creative

So one day one of the guys came up with the idea to run a jumper wire from the Yellow Mallory Super Coil on his ride to the frame of the bench seat-
Needless to say- we were all watching out the side door when he went to lunch that day- I almost felt bad watching him try and let go of the ignition key........

I took a water bottle and needle and made it RC.. I placed the needed thought the ceiling tile over the desk of our secretary (this was years ago)

I could make the thing drip water on her head at the flip of a switch.. then turn it off.. this went for HOURS.. lol

You could not see the needed sticking though the tile... lol

Funny she was like.. what the heck..

We then took and reprogramed her PC so it would jump back from cap locks to not in random patterns.. lol

that last one taught him to lock his laptop whenever away from his desk.

Ha! Yeah, learned that lesson the hard way too. When I was in my last few years of college, I had a job at the place I work at now. Me and the 3 other student workers sat in the same area. I learned real quick to lock my screen while away. Otherwise, you'd come back, and the first thing you typed all of the sudden, the screen would flash and you'd be staring at a login prompt....what tha!?!?

I later learned of this trick. And it can get ugly. If someone didn't lock their screen, we'd alias normal commands to "logout" or the like. You could get really ugly and alias common commands to "delete everything in my home directory" kinda bad...We never went that far, but it'd only take once to set you straight!!

Crane operator got pissed at his boss.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lJ72vUOTW0

we had a job on the lathe that was made from garolite.quite a bit of turning and boring and this stuf stinks and leaves a yellow cloud over the whole shop. the boss bought one of the double bag dust collectors that wood workers use for their machines, to suck the dust away. this worked great, but made a lot of noise,and the operator had to spend a lot of time walking around the lathe to shut it off, to check dimensions. the boss bought a remote control for it,which worked great. when we first got it we sat back 50 feet or so and waited for the third shift guy to come in,and when he stepped in front of the lathe on the rubber mat, I hit the remote and turned on the vacume, which seemed to startle him,when he jumped back I hit it again and shut it off. we were rof lol watching him stepping on,then off the mat,as I was trying to keep up with the remote, turning on and off the vacume. pricless!

I left my computer unlocked once at Alcoa...

I came back I had some emails telling me where I could get Ballet lessons.. Someone had sent out a mass email, from my account, telling the entire department that I was taking up Ballet and wanted to know if anyone know where I could get some lesson close by..
