Practical jokes at work??

[norsask elite]

Who's got a good one? I'll share one of my favorites. Working for a grain elevator/fertilizer repair company our work used to take us on the road all the time. Different crews would get together to do the job, most often crews from different provinces would be put together. One guy thought it would be funny to put a ladies thong in my suitcase. He didn't know that I did my own laundry and found his surprise. The following week I acted like nothing happened and had his roommate plant them in his bag the morning we went home. I got a call from his angry girlfriend asking if this was the case. I convinced her to go along with it quickly and to keep sounding angry while I told her the story and asked her to go along with it. She did and the poor guy suffered. She let the gag run along time and was really good too! She eventually let him in on it and he let me have it on the phone and you could hear his girlfriend in the background telling him to,"Man up and deal, you started it!" Good times, good times!!:catfight:

i work at a print production place and while i'm too much of a wimp to pull my own jokes...my friends had a good one the other day....

The guy that does our part ordering for the print presses was out and his back up is a spastic, easily angered guy... the press guys made up a list of parts that needed to be ordered. some of the stuff was real but a lot of the parts were made up. like elliptical shaft thruster, rod expansion heads, and nob lubricant. the fill-in guy spent a good part of his day searching for parts that didn't exist and I'm sure he got laughed at on the phone asking if anyone carried those parts.

That's a good one! We used to pull the skyhook one with young new guys as part of initiation to the construction world. EVERYONE should help promote fun in the workplace. Some do get carried away like my first post. YOU CAN DO IT! Your mission today, should you choose to accept it, will be to pull a small pratcical joke. Start small and get bigger!:cheer:A little cheerleader to help encourage you!:beehive: And a little of this to remember consequences lol

Iv'e done something like that, sending a guy back to the shop for the military bearing grease,, things like that,, my favorite is when a new guy came in and I told him that he had to shake this "special" paint can until the ball stopped rattling,,,, lol He sat there and shook that thing for an hour.....

My brother-in-law is an electrician and used to work in the oilpatch in Alberta. The funniest one they had was a green kid started with them and they had a voltage drop at one location and they were working on it and the kid kept getting in the way, so they gave the kid a plastic bucket to catch all the invisible voltage drops leaking out of a PLC. They also told him that if any hit the floor they would cause an explosion. They left him for a couple of hours until the foreman showed up and asked the kid what he was doing. When the kid told the foreman what he was doing the foreman called in the three guys, including my B-I-L, and was trying to yell at them all for wasting time while dieing of laughter.:mad0215:

I used work in the auto industry. On my lunch I went to the novelty store and bought package called fart in a can. In my office I had a old school air tube system for transporting paperwork to the parts department. I opened the container and squirted a rather large amount of fart in a can into the container and sent it to the parts department. All of the mechanics that worked for me were laughing their :mooner:off when the parts manager showed up:tapfoot:we proceded to yell and scream at the top of his lungs about how bad the smell was in the entire parts departmen:censored2: I was laughing so hard I fell off my stool :applause: Merry Christmas everyone

[vyrtual]

lol that "invisible voltage" was hillarious!

We used to mess with new kids we'd hire at some of the bars I ran. One of the more innocent things we'd do was on the first friday night we'd have them work, we'd wait until the end of the night when we were about to take the hundreds of bottles to the bin, we'd tell them that they couldn't be recycled with the limes in the corona bottles and every night they had to use the "lime extractor" to get them all out. Lol we had this one girl running around the bar for an hour looking for an "extractor" to pull the limes out of the bottles.
Sometimes we'd get the doormen to pick up their car and put it on top of this big concrete block. We filled the owners car with french fries once lol. I don't know how many times I've been attacked with this darn hose we used to clean the sinks.

that's pretty funny.... however the fact that some place manufactures this...fart in a can product..... that's just hilarious.

I may have done a few.

We have black phones at work. So I took my bosses phone and put black grease around the ear piece. He walked around half the day with a black ring around his ear. When he finally noticed it he asked me about it. Well him and a guy named john are always joke around with each other, so I told him I saw John go into his office. Well he got John back. 2 for 1. Yes.

I had a new guy a few years back that was Asian. He spoke broke up English at best. His name was Hung. Well I keeped telling Hung to watch out for Mike because Mike was Gay and liked young Asian men ( Total lie but funny), well this went one for a few weeks. Well Mike decided to get a group off guys together to go out on a fishing charter. So I went and told hung, that what ever he does never go out fishing with Mike. I told him he will take you out on his boat and take advantage of you. I even got some other employees to play along. They told hung there horror stories of going fishing with Mike. Well of course I told Mike, you was clueless to his gay nature, that it would be nice if he asked the new guy hung to go fishing.

You should have seen the look on Hung's face when he asked him. Priceless. No, No, I not go fishing with you. I never laughed so hard in my life.

i'm a electrician, we were doing a couple floors in the constellation energy building for their lawyers, well a greenie started one day and i told him, he needed to go up three floors and ask this guy for the wire stretcher, and some sky hooks, well he goes and at first he said the guy looked at him crazy and then said so and so had it last and was 5 floors down, somebody eventually told him it was a joke, well i waited a couple days then proceeded to tell him, that in every new bucket of wire eze , there is a pair of kleins at the bottom, of course he picked a bucket that they forgot to put them in at the factory:rofl:

I guess you had to be there.

We use binoculars quite a bit and the new guy will usually get finger print ink smeared on the rubber eye pieces and work the rest of the day looking like a raccoon.

[BoCoMo]

Its not real funny, but we have done this to a couple of new guy's.
I work for a construction company building roads. Very rarely are we close enough to a store to get lunch and eat w/ in a half hour. U either have to bring ur lunch or go without. Well anytime we get a new guy on are crew we tell him dont worry about bringing ur lunch on friday the boss is coming down and bringing pizza. Lunch time comes around on friday and u have one pissed off, hungry new guy. Its funny to me.

My grandpa use to tell a story about putting spaghetti in one guy's banana everyday for a week. He would put it in, in the morning and by lunch it would be soft. The guy peels it bites in. Well this thing has a darn worm in it. He throws it away. Every day for a week. I aint never heard of a banana worm anyways.

A bad one I remember was about 20 years ago I had a mechanic that worked for me that had a false leg. One day this new gopher was on his first day of work and my mechanics were messing with him big time. One mechanic told him his job was to move the fixed cars out of the shop and bring in the ones that needed repair or service. While the kid was backing out the car (the first one) the mechanic with the false leg smacked the car and laid down on the floor. He spun his false leg backwards and screamed and yelled. the kid got out of the car saw the mechanic with his leg twisted backwards and actually fainted. :laugh: Revenge is sweet as the kid several years later was there when we had to duck tape the mechanics leg back together after it broke on the job. :crutch:God I miss the old days when people used laugh at a joke:laugh:

[Scablands]

I knew a guy in college that had a prosthetic leg, at parties he would take a hammer out and give his a good whack to check reactions in the crowd. There was always alcohol involved, who would have guessed? LOL

A real mean one is to put fresh dog poop under the victims car door handle.

take a sharp thin blade kife and put a slit in the side of a coke can near the rin where one drinks from and they'll get a coke bath when they attempt to drink from it

I did that years ago, we were playing Moon (dominoes) in a friends back yard he put the sabataged beer can in one of those styrofoam cozies and every time he took a drink he got drenched. He kept taking the can out and dumping the cozy thinking it was condensation running out. His wife came out and jumped all over him for having beer all down the front of his shirt. He finally inspected the can and found the hole. Of course when he glared at me I asked "What I did?":bow:

[Ringtail]

A cousin, who is a cop, told me what they did to a fellow officer they didn't like. The guy bought a new Harley. For a month, they would add gasoline to his tank as often as they could. He raved about the great mileage. The next month, they siphoned it. This went on for a while. The guy never figured out what was wrong.

Tear a corner off of two ketchup packets. Put them under the little feet on a toilet seat with the open corner pointing forward.

I had a cocky new employee looking for a metric protractor for over 2 hours.

A friend of mine made a "Ban Guns, not Gay Love" bumper sticker and put it on his co-worker's bumper.

3 Heavy Duty Zip Ties connected in a daisy chain type of arangement on a rear wheel drive vehicles drive shaft, (think baseball cards in spokes, but way louder)

We used to bet the new hires in the warehouse, that they couldn't pick up a quarter with a fork truck. After pushing the quarter around for a while, they'd claim it couldn't be done. Then we'd drop the tip of the fork on the edge of the quarter and flip the quarter onto the fork. Sometimes it's take a couple tries but it works.

(this one is from a friend, who posted it on another forum...)

I went to summer school in Newport, RI many years ago.

The Thai government has a program called the "Thai Royal Scholars" placement program. The Thai government chooses the top students in the entire country and sends them to the States to basically go to school for their entire life, then return back to Thailand to become scientists, biologists, businessmen, dictators etc. Well the thing is that they have to study EVERYDAY and must maintain an "A" average throughout highscool and maintain a similar gradepoint throughout college. These students feel honored for being chosen, but at the same time understand that if they fail out, have problems or run into some other snag, that they have to PAY BACK every dollar that the Thai government has spend on their airfare, housing, tuition etc. Asking a rural Thai family to pay pack thousand upon thousands of dollars is not going to be good for them, so its kind of a double edged sword that way.

Anyhow, there was a Thai Royal Scholar living in my hall, he was a really nice kid, but NEVER left his room. He would read through SAT questions all through the night, go to class, eat, skip out on anything involving sports or actual exercise to study for TOFEL and SATs, then repeat the same process the next day. He would do this for next several years, going from school to summer school every year even through college.

Well I thought this was a shame, why should such a bright young man, learn so much, but not be taught the wonderful aspect of American Culture known as Practical Jokes. I knew he was under tremendous pressure and maybe that is just another reason why myself and others felt compelled to torment him from time to time.

After talking with him a bit between his study time (Very Seldom) I found out that he was EXTREMELY superstitious. More so that ALL rural Thai people are superstitious, especially when it comes to the dead and their spirits that roam the earth, in other words, Ghosts.

It was time for the prank of the century, a prank that would terrify (Him) and amuse (Everyone else) with awe and wonder.

In a dusty closet located at the end of the hall, was stored the most ferocious and obnoxious of all machines. A device that scared small animals, children and was feared by all people alike. A 1950's industrial Vacuum. It had metal bristles and a Gigantic high beam light on the front of it. It must have been a Hoover prototype, because it weighed easily 50 Lbs, had a very heavy vinyl bag that smelled as if there was a raccoon carcass hidden inside and the bag was "full". We dared not empty or open the bag, less find the ashes or remains of some poor soul that operated it last.

When the Royal Scholar went to dinner we placed the vacuum under his bed and propped the rotary bristles up against the metal bed springs using various object found throughout the dorm. We then took the cord and carefully led it outside his window, then swung the cord to my room next door so someone could catch it. The idea was that if we were going to be caught, we could simply toss the cord out the window when done and it would be "Untraceable".

We waited and waited and waited for the right time. The around 8:00PM we gently went inside his room and started to "Hang out", someone said something to the degree of "Hey did you hear that noise in hall last night?" Me: "Oh yeah that is ghost of the Civil war soldier that died when this was a make shift hospital" (Don't ask.)
The royal scholar paused and said in broken English, "Ghooooosttt?". The trap was set.

We all left him to his late night study and waited for the right moment. His bedroom light finally turned off around 1:00AM. It was "Go time". Everyone cracked open their doors and peeked through and I sat by the outlet, hands shaking in anticipation, holding the plug of impending doom infront of the outlet.

I plugged it in....

The most horrible, terrifying noise erupted from the room next door. Then came the screaming, it sounded like a 10 year old girl experiencing night terrors. It was awful. The screaming turned to hysteria, then a whimper and finally except for the vacuum, there was silence.

We opened the door to his room and there was this absolutely horrific sight to behold. The vacuum was emitting this eerie light from underneath his bed and I guess the bag had broken instantly after being activated because there was this tremendous cloud of noxious pungent dust and smoke all over his room. The bristles were scratching the bed springs and sounded like a mixture of cats fighting, fingernails on chalkboard and WWII shipyard in mid day.

He was a absolutely terrified and emerged out of the cloud of smoke and dust, silent with his pants wet.

He moved dorms the next day and we rarely saw him after that.

We (I) felt bad of course afterward, but now at least he had something to talk about other than the answer to "How many miles it took Jane's bus to reach her destination in comparison to Peter's." and most likely would use his new found education about American teenagers to wage war against this country after he became minister of defense in Thailand.

Back a couple years ago we had this boss at work that had this thing about having her "special" parking spot and didnt like others parking there.
This spot was not marked as her spot, nor do we have any assigned parking. She used to bark at this one guy and make it known it was her spot and she made him move his vehicle if he was in it!
Well, I got along with her.....so I said one day "let me park in your spot for the day and I will give you $5.00" She says why?
I told her I was going to bet Han(the guy who used to try to park in her spot) $10.00 that I could get away with parking in her spot. She said deal........
So the next day I park in her spot and Han comes in to work and tells me "your going to get your a** chewed for parking there!" I said "oh really? want to bet $10.00 she dosent say a word about me parking there?"
Han says your on!!
As the day wore on you should have seen how ticked off Han was!
He was totally pissed off that I was getting to park there, when....he would do it he would get chewed out! He paid me the $10.00 come quitting time, and I paid the boss half of it!
Next day I let him in on the joke........he got even madder then!
But, I did give him back the $5.00 I had of his.
The boss lady.......she kept the $5.00!
