Pranks - have you done any to work mates?

[jphanna]

This guy I worked with used to come to work with a moped, but used to wear a helmet that would look more at home on an R1 or some other hot bike….not a pissant moped.

Anyway he used to leave his helmet facing the same way on his desk every day and I put a note on the back of it with sticky tape.

‘LOVE FOR SALE’ and hoped he didn’t notice it. He didn’t and drove through town in peek hour on a moped with that on the back of his helmet. I thought it was funny, but he got me back eventually.

Did you do anything to work mates?

[nicko]

tech screwed a mates toolbox to a work bench and stripped the heads off the screws

[POVRTY]

when i was doing my apprenticship we used to stop and pick up road kills to stuff in each others toolboxes or put self tappers in lockers so they would nearly pull them over,
we would throw a few extra bolts in to a pile of incomplete work and watch the machenic try and figure were they came from.......that was always gold, while they had there back turned we would squirt some oil down the plug holes and smoke em out......it just goes on and on......bah ha ha!!!

i once rolled up a dead snake and put a bucket lid on it. came to work the next day and tried not to laugh when a mate was standing on the lid dancing. he was dancing for a couple of minutes before he realised that the lid wasnt solid on the concrete so he then kicked the lid off, than proceeded to run about 150m in record time.

Many years ago, a work mate was going through a bad time. His stress levels were through the roof.

Anyhow, he returned to his desk to find a note saying Kylie from the ATO wanted to talk to him about his tax return, and gave the number.

To cut to the chase, Kylie from the "Gentle Touch" was not impressed when he rang and asked her about the tax return. She thought it was the ATO chasing her. Still, he did laugh when he recovered from the verballing he received.

Rocks are good on the side of port-a-loos and even better when they are metal. On several occasions I/we have screwed metal battens across the doors of one while someone was in there. I've often wanted to do that and then light a small fire with newspaper under the door.

My old workmate got me some paybacks one time. He thought it would be funny to belt the side wall with a broom handle to make a loud noise and scare me. What he didn't realise is that he hit where there was a shelf with a can of toilet spray on it. The can hit me in the side of the head causing pain and blood

We were at work fixing off ceilings and just as they were lifting a 6m sheet over their heads another bloke daked him and screwed his pants to the floor. Was quite funny

LMAO. Those porta loos are impossible to use when other people are around. Always worried about what is going to happen next. And the volume of the rocks hitting the side from inside is absolutely crazy

Many years ago, I had a junior workmate who was a teetotaller and vegetarian. Seemed almost vice-free until after one very long day he admitted that he used to sneak into ladies toilets and spread glad wrap across the top of the bowl, or lighty smear vegemite on the black toilet seats.

I failed to understand the thrill if it was not possible to witness the outcome, but !!!!!

I worked with a bloke who was the original "drongo". Decided to really give it to him one arvo after he left work.

Unscrewed the hinges to his locker, then put the door back on. Tied his desk calendar to his chair. Pulled out the drawer from his desk, removed the staples holding the bottom of the drawer in place, tied a piece of strong to the bottom, then replaced the drawer, filling it with all his junk, then tied t he other end to the frame of his desk out of sight.

He came in the next morning and went to his locker, opened it, door comes away in his hand. Puts his stuff in the locker, leans the door against the wall next to his locker, and walks to his desk. Pulls chair out to sit down and desk calendar disappears over the back of the desk. Pulls out drawer, bottom stays in place but the four sides and all the junk came out all over the floor. He was pi*sed off big time, but after these three things happened one after the other, the whole office was pi*sing itself laughing at him.

This is not one of mine, but one that I heard - so it might be a different entertainer or even an urban myth.

In the early days of the Vietnam War, Little Pattie was one of a number of entertainers arriving to give a show for the troops. The base was rather primitive at the time, and it was decreed that a special "Hole in the Ground" should be prepared for the female visitors.

The soldier assigned the task was a bit of a wag. He installed a speaker in the hole before he put the crapper on top. The wires were carefully hidden and run to a suitable observation point.

Come the show, he lay in wait. Then Little Pattie needed to go. She entered and, after waiting what he guessed was a suitable time, yelled into the connected microphone, "Hey, you up there. What do you think you're doing!". Supposedly the response was hilarious.

shot a workmates jacket the wall with a paslode.
screwed down mates toolbox with non-removable screws (well pretty much the same as rounding the heads off the screws)
live spiders into lunch boxes.
little things like that keep people amused.

[eurekamad94]

i thought of an awesome prank

im going to put creepy crawely's into my sister's locker at school (she hate's em)

but where can i get them from ? pet food store or something ? i dont need many just enough to scare the shit out of her haha

[DannyboyDS]

My favorite has always been hiding then jumping out and going RAWRRR!!!

Did tis to my supervisor early one morning, I rocked up at work and he was allready inside opening up, so went in to help, but I went in the back way, waited for the big door to slide open from the pigment store to the main factory floor, as it slid open from the dark I jumped out making my horrible noise, he screamed in a very girly way and jumped back, was pretty funny.

I tried this on another guy at work and he nearly decked me :P was just as funny though.

I got a coat hanger and threaded it through the padlock loop on this guys locker tied it all up and trimmed it up with my pliers, that kept him ammused, I also duct tapped his overalls together and shoved them in the locker first

not really a prank but my supervisors name is Arron and he wrote "Azza" on his locker so I added "SP" to the front of it, he got quite angry about that, also got a spare padlock once and another guy at work put it on the supervisors padlock loop and locked it, so he had two padlocks and only the key to one.

Guys at work got me a beauty.
Were in open plan office and there was a guy looking for me ho had never met me before.
He asked one of my colleagues where I sat and he pointed to me and goes "hes the gay one in the corner" then when the guys talking to me one of the other guys sent me an email and in capital letters saying"DAILY GAY PORN" and anyone who is familiar with outlook knows when an email comes in the sender and title flash up on the screen then fades away.
The look on the guys face was priceless and he quickly ended the conversation and left haha, We always are doing mean things to each other it keeps us on or toes

[TVR-190]

[Pub247]

Liquid nitrogen bombs are the best we get plastic bottles fill them up some then throw them near people theyre quite load

[Lumps of cheese]

Just minor stuff at work, grease under door handles and stuff like that.

[Captain Kermit]

work at a fast food joint, and I always say to the new kids on close "Check the toilets for rapists before we lock up and leave." We've got a little cupboard in the hallway that leads to the toilets that isn't used for anything, so I hide in there and jump out at them on their way past. Nearly got knocked out by one of my more paranoid workmates, but it's all in good fun.

[maginoodle]

i am remembering heaps tonight. had a idiot workmate buy a what he described as "a fullysic wb ute". so when he went away for 5 mins i took a couple o plug leads off and left them on a bit so a bit of spark would get through. next day he comes back saying "me utes got that much go it blew a couple of plug leads off", i told what i had done and he didnt believe that i could of broken into the ute and pulled the leads off that quick so next time he went for a slash i took the coil lead. he soon started listening too me when he couldnt start his ute at knock off.

[old_fella]

One of the lads at work coloured in the clear lens in front of the black glass lens on this blokes welding helmet so u couldnt notice it was done and the bloke kept striking the arc for ages and looking at his helmet wondering what was going on before he realised what the bloke had done.

[eurekamad94]

So who paid for the pizzas you ruined?

well let's just say it wasnt me
