practical jokes at the work place

[St.Louis-Dart]

Practical jokes ive done at work....too many to list but heres some of my favs

1) The wind up toy....Im a jeweler and we have small work envalopes 4x6 with a flap at the top to put rings and parts into...
each jeweler has a box of these job envalope on his bench.....take a heavy paper clip bend into a U shape...drill 2 holes in a penny
....take a rubber band feed it thru the penny and connect the rubber band to both ends of the U shape clip...then start winding
the penny up..like a propeller blade of a rubber band air plane...stick your wound up penny toy in the bottem of the envalope
with a pair of tweezers close it and fold the flap over and stick it in you buddies work box.....when he opens the envalope
it makes a hell of a noise--vibirates--and the penny jumps out at ya    scares the shit out of ya everytimek ...........
....then you wind it up again and take it to one of the girls in the office and say something like....this is the wrong ring in here....
i had one girl screem so loud the boss came running over and said..WWHAT THE HELLS GOING ON 


2) Slow water drip joke.....Our work benches have a a pull out pan to catch gold fileings or stones you drop wile working
on rings...when your buddy leaves his bench you take a small plastic zip lock baggie 2x4 inches <we have millions of these thay
keep stones in them))...fill it with water..zip lock it ..poke a pin hole in it and tape it to the bottem of his pan...it will drip
1 drip a min or so...30 mins later he will start feelin the wet...and wont know were its coming from...
i did this to a guy for about a week till he finily looked under his pan and seen the bag taped there   
he kept backin away from his bench saying  WTF...WTF for a week...we all just laugh and talk about how good Depends work
and gave him shit......


3) Holloween spider ring trick.....Lol my fav...You ever see one of those cheap plastic black spider rings kids wear.....
well you clip off the ring part so you just have the black spider....get a spool of white sewing thread and tied it
to one ft leg of the spider,,,,,The office girls allway hog the 2 lunch room tables at work soooo wile no one was in
the lunch room i ran a sewing tread from the light,right above the round table to a pipe then over to the soda machine
and taped the tread to it and waited for lunch...i lowerd that spider down bouncen it real slow.......
You ever hear 6 30ish woman scream like teenage girls

You got one of my all time favorites with your #1.

I always labeled the envelopes "Rattlesnake Eggs". Someone would pick up the envelope and look inside every time. They can't resist.

Liked #2 & #3 also.

We have a few standard tricks we play at my job too. I'm a mechanic at a Generating station, and the water intake screenhouse bins always suck in some dead or dying fish (somtimes big ones). Well they don't smell too bad when the first get there, but after a week of so taped to the bottom of a guys toolbox they smell pretty terrible. Remember the old "round" phones? where you could unscrew the mouthpiece. Well guys used to put a small piece of fish in there too, usually someone you know and then call the number. HEHE. There are many more

I seen on pulled at the body shop once the guy said I gotta have a shit and away he went to the crapper.They give him about 30 sec oe so and snuck up on the door and when they figured he was just about into the strain the wailed the crapper door with a snow shovel !! Sure was a lot of camotion inside the crapper.

At my body shop we had a new kid that needed to be "broke in". Waited till he was in the "small office" and snapped the stick off a bottle rocket, the screamer kind, and tossed it under the door. The screams coming from him were louder than the bottle rocket, and he was cleaning up for awhile after that. LMAO !!!!  A M80 dropped into the 5 gallon wash bucket while he was washing a car wasnt bad either. cept it killed my bucket.

I work for a freight company.Whenever someones got a wheel apart to replace the bearings we wait until hes got the wheel all back together...the wheel bearings have an inner and an outter locknut to hold the bearings on.We throw an extra nut on the floor and watch him tear it all back apart.      

I use to work for a resturant with mainly young kids..their was a field next to the store and me(the manager) had them go out to the garden to get the lettuce. The thing is, their was no garden, so you've got this kid walking around aimlessly looking for "the garden" with a butcher knive and bucket in hand.

Instead of a penny though, I just used a shirt button.

A couple I've done at my work.
1) We make golfballs so they end up on the floor sometimes. I would squirt hand lotion on a ball and tell whoever, "Hey, you dropped this." I would toss it to them and when they would catch it, the look was funny as all hell.

2) We get chemicals in those 55 gallon drums. After heating up the material you are supposed to release the pressure by slowly opening the small cap while keeping it covered with rags. It would just make a little pop and that's about it. When I would see one of the ladies doing it I would sneek up behind them. As soon as it would "pop" I would yell "BOOM!!!" right behind them. They would jump a mile.

When we get a new jeweler and he drops a diamond on the floor and cant find it we send him to the shop foreman for the Diamond magnet...he tells him so-in-so has it
then thay tell him someone else has it...the last person he asks is the shop says Felix (the owner) has it.....Felixs shakes his head and tells the kid theres no such thing
as a diamond magnet......

The "Upper Decker" is only for someone you don't like.

Best done at a party so no one will know who did it. All you do is go in the bathroom remove the toilet tank cover and take a dump in the tank.  Then replace the cover.

Not that I have every personally done this! Must be a mess though, especially if they don't find it for a while.

I used a forklift to raise the rear axle so the tires were about 3/4" off the ground and watch them put it in reverse to leave!  Fart in someone's fresh air supply when they are painting!  Wire their horn to the brake switch!  Run a long coil wire to the metal forklift key!  Put sandblast shot on someone's sunvisor!

Worked at an electronics company some time ago. We used to get the newbies by charging a large electrolytic capacitor to about 45 - 50 thousand volts, yell catch and toss it to 'em.
This ones great. I was involved in a little "practical joke pissing contest" with a guy at work and decided to bring it to an end. One day I showed up at work about an hour early with a syringe/needle and began pumping the foam rubber padding in his desk chair full of water while making about a thousand little needle holes in the process. It's amazing how much water a desk chair can hold.

Here's my favorite.  At my work, we have kitchens for making up our meds and such.  There's a dog and a cat and theres always someone in them.  Well anyways, one of our sinks has a little sprayer that comes out to spray dishes.  It has a handle but can only turn on when the sink is on.  I like to zip tie the handle to the on position so that whenever someone turns the sink on it sprays the crap out of them. It puts A LOT of water out also; I should know since I fell for my own trick.

Rigged the washer hose at the driver seat and then got the aprrentice to sit there and use the washers.Waited till someone went in the bathroom and then threw a pack of firecrackres under the door..Wait till someone starts their delivery truck up(at work) and then start konck'n on the bumper with a hammer...see how long it takes them to shut it down.We took the small guy in the shop and duct taped him into a cacoon and then threw him on the shelf in the cargo area and thrashed the truck.I watched a couple guys kick a cardboard box around in the shop.Well they got mess'n with detail guy in the shop(who's not too bright)and told him to give the box a kick(playing shop football).Well,he kicked it,,,along with the car battery they put inside the box.

I used to work at a box printing plant and every time we'd get a new guy when it came time for the weekend cleanup we'd tell him we used steam from the boiler to soften the ink on the dies then it washes off easily. When it was time to do the clean up somebody would go over and grab the steam hose like they were going to bring it over to the printing area but it didn't reach so they'd start cussing "them stupid maint guys" must have cut the new hose too short again then give the new guy a 5 gal. bucket and tell him to go fill it up with steam and bring it back over and use a brush to clean the dies. You'd be surprised at how many guys actually tried to fill that bucket up. We even had one genius that came back over and said "I don't know what I'm doing wrong but the steam won't stay in the bucket. It just comes right back out".

used to work on a loading dock. the new guy always got to go look for a trailer streacher so wecould get the last 2 pallets on .  at a different job were I was a local driver the dock guys closed a new guy in the trailer. I hauled him to my first stop, and got a hell of a surprise when I opened the door. he did not mind so much , he got paid to ride around with me the rest of the day.    I later got some payback when I lured 3 racoons into the trailer at my last pickup for the day. went back to the dock,backed in the door, and hurried back to the dock to watch the show. It was good.

I dont think I have laughed so hard in years..

Where to start.
We had a 4x4 plant truck. When the 2 helpers were using it, We would put the truck transfer case in N with out them seeing us. Twice we watched them push the truck back to the shop and tell the boss the auto trans was shot.

Same guy would weld up a chip hopper that held chips and cutting oil. They guyes would put just alittle water under it so he thought it still leaked.

Move you co-workers tools after he set then down just alittle farther away then he had them. They think there going nuts.

[rarefish]

Many years ago I had a friend that worked at a tire shop. They had some new racks built out of 2X4 framing. Some of the guys got some 2' scraps and ran them over the table saw till they were cut almost through. then as my buddy walked in they started bragging how they could berak a 2X4 on their forehead. Yes he tried it. Yes he almost knocked himself out. No he didn't break it, Joe.

when i worked at sear auto tire & battery we had some display Diehard batterys..its only the out side plastic part of the batt case no lead or acid
guts so thay weighed about 1/4 lb... if you were a good actor..you could carry one thru the shop like its heavy get close to someone and extend
out your arms and with a grunting face say...TAKE THIS!  TAKE THIS!..thay would grap it and throw it up in the air.. 

or you could drop it at there feet and watch them dance like there shoes were on fire

When I worked at a pizza place many moons ago (back before the PC!), we used to wait until someone went into the bathroom, when they did we would drop a scoop of flour on the floor at the base of the door, then hit it with a tank of C02, it fill the bathroom with a fine with fog, everythingg in it is coated. We also used to play a joke on the boss, he used to chew, so he had a dk green Mountain Dew bottle (remember when they were made out of glass) he drank from on the left, and an empty one on the right he would spit into, when ever he turned around, someone would switch the two bottles.  Usually he puked in his trash can almost instanly, he never figured out what we were doing, he just thought he set the bottle in the wrong place. Also, he smoked cigars, Once i bought cigarette loads at a gag gift store and put a couple in his half smoked cigar, as close to the tip as possible, it blew up as soon as he lit it.

Not work related but when I was a kid, my brother and I got in a bad fight. Later I put his toothbrush up my ass and took a polaroid shot, waited two weeks and gave him the pic.
