Silly time

[Olan Giech]

here's a thread to bury itself....

What silly pranks have you played on people at work.

Nothing tooooo bad now, and nothing illegal please.

My favourite two are;

Hair gel smeared on the toilet door handle - nothing like that ugh! feeling cold wet and sticky (chortle)

and

Mango Chutney in jacket pockets - puts jacket on and watch him look for his keys

Farting in the corridor is a bunts trick however, little worse than walking into someone else business - bleah! My Kiwi cousin has that as his fav trick, hence me taking him to work just the once.

Swapped the M and N keys on the secretary's keyboard and the driver so that it worked as it looked.
Then, 2 week later when she had 'converted' to the new keyboard (after much merriment and tipex) swapped them back.

When working nights in a home for mentally & physically handicapped adults many pranks were played.. not all mine.
1.. The owner of the home came & took one resident for a sleepover at her house down the lane. (to see if the staff realised & how long it took for them to inform her)
2.. April Fools Day.. Clingfilm over the ladies loo seat. Most unamused Senior staff member suffered severe splashback & had to resort to borrowing residents clothing.
3.. April Fools Day.. Put a sign up at the turning into the private lane saying Road Closed.. making staff park about half a mile away & walk up in the rain.
4.. April Fools day.. The 70yr old caretakers birthday.. Honoured him with a cake which he tried unsuccessfully to cut, with everyone looking on.. It was a beautifully iced cake box!
5.. April Fools day.. hid 26 residents in 2 small rooms in the loft 3 flights up just to see how the day staff would react.
6.. One of mine.. asked one of the quadraplegics if we could play a joke on his favourite staff member.. using red & blue biro, marmite, lemon curd & jam... painted parts of his knee & told her we had put too much bubble bath in the water & had dropped him when trying to get him out & we thought he might have a broken leg.. The company invested in a hoist soon after.
7.. & when 8mths pregnant hid balloon of water between thighs, pin in pocket & whilst other staff set the stage during changeover.. saying how lazy I was, laying there moaning about backache all night & it's not fair they shouldn't have to 'work' with pregnant staff.. I walk into doorway, pop balloon, burst a heap of water everywhere, turn & run out so they don't see me laugh & slip on my butt sliding down the corridoor 8' leap into a residents bed & give birth to a Fraggle. (a kind of teddy)

Chocolate buttons made of Ex-lax will stop a mistery food thief dead in their tracks! :D

[bilge rat]

welded me mates work boots to the bench , next followed by his toolbox. he took it all good. bilge rat.......

[discomadness]

oh god where do i start, i can name a million pranks from my last job, some by me some by others.

a favorite was when someone had carried out a repair inside a fuel tank (on an aircraft) the sealent they put over the repair has to be french chalked to stop the bladder sticking to it and tearing, so what we used to do to the not so bright guys was... get a marrigold glove, half fill with chalk, zip tie to an airline with the end taken off and as you poke the bag into the tank access cover someone connects the airline.... instant white cloud. he he he.:D
another one i saw a few years ago was slipping a broom handle through the apprentices overalls and slinging him to the hoist till he was just touching the floor on tiptoes.:rolleyes:

supergluing someones ankle or wrist openings on their overalls and die laughing while they battle to put them on:D

sent the apprentice to stores to pick up a length of falopian tube.....:p

sent one really slow apprentice to stores to get camoflage paint.....think about it.... he came back with a tin of green and a tin of brown... we sent him back to get the proper stuff that does the stripes itself... he didn't argue.

Two lads of particular mention, one called chopper and one called dogbreath.... used to pull pranks on each other all the time.
1. chopper tells dog that the med centre has rang for him to go for a hearing test, he came back 30mins later not amused.
2. dog gets hold of choppers car keys, opens the sunroof and fills the car to the top with flowpack (the polystyrene packing stuff that looks like wotsits)
3. chopper makes a big sign out of white sticky backed plastic which reads "Dogs sex toys, try before you buy, an$l massagers a speciality" and dogs real mobile number and sticks it to dogs transit van on the passenger side, and cos dog parks his van passenger side to the wall it took him 4 days to notice.
4. dog retaliates by taking the wheels off choppers car and taking the home with him, 35miles away and leaving them outside choppers house.

it just went on and on and on.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

supergluing peoples lock on thier lockers was popular, one day a guy took it too far.... drilled a hole in a guys locker, injected a few mugfulls of expanding void filler and retreated to a safe distance......

convinced one guy that he was putting on wieght by every week or so swapping his overalls for the next size down.

Engineers blue around a black toilet seat....

putting dry board marker on a phone reciver and then going the other side of the hanger and ringing the phone. had loads of people with that.

putting ink on the eye piece of anything that had an eye piece.....

i'll think of some more and post them later.

[bilge rat]

had a mate he was in the t.a he told me there was this guy who used to cycle to work quite a keep fit type, they decided to take the seat off his bike and fill it bit by bit full of lead shot replace his saddle and say nothing, this went on for some time ,in the end this guy was convinced there was something wrong with him as he was more tired and taking longer to get to work. when he finally went to the doctors they told him what they had done, bilge rat........

I really like that one, theres a few guys in work who leave cycles lying around.... think i'll have to find some lead shot from somewhere... he he he

Walking around the Cairngorms, we'd add rocks to one of the lads' ruck sack.

I remeber one Army Leiuteneant's party piece in Belize was to stop the cieling fan in other peoples' rooms and pour talc along the top of the stationary baldes - they'd come back, switch on the fan...

One that i occasionally do to the cabin crew is to get them to reprogramme (under direction) the flight management computer when ATC give us a short cut, and then get them to press the "execute" key. Just as they press it I'll yell "Not that one!" and immediately the aircraft will start rolling. It doesn't work on all of them, but some of the horrified looks are priceless.

LMFAO these are brilliant! Heheheheh gotta love practical jokes.

I think the best one I have done in the recent past was to my good friend mike, we play tricks and scare each other pretty much all the time, healthy working atmosphere!!

He scared the crap outta me one morning, my head was down typing and he snuck up behind me with 2 piece of 2x4 and slapped them together very loudly! I have never jumped so far, thought I was going to have a coronary!!

To get him back when he went out to the toilet I placed 150ish brass pinboard pins points up all over his chair, I wanted to make it obvious expecting the trick to flop but when he came back in I was talking to him and he backed up to his chair without looking at it and sat down on the 150 pins! :D The amazing thing was that he didn't feel them at first, took almost 5 seconds for the pain to register and when it did he went very red!! :D Like in a cartoon! Hehheeheh got him good and proper! :D

I ahve completely emptied his comptuer of all files during a lunch break, that was fun too!

Moved his car around the car park removed his car from the car park stuck it up on bricks, deflated the tyres, removed the fuel and filled it up with lead weights, thing hardly moved! hehehehe!

At school (boarding school) me and a mate removed all but one bed out of a 10 bed room and placed the remaining one in the middle of the room with no mattress! Heheh!

Deep heat in underwear or jock straps is good fun also works well on vests too!!

Javeline down through persons tracksuit top and bottoms and pin to floor!

Emptying the headmasters office of everything, had help with that one! Oh hell did the **** hit the fan!!!

Pegged the headboy to the ground with his own clothes

Shaving foam in hand, tickle nose, hey presto!! :D

ex-lax in coffee or food

Filling the quad with manure the night before the last day of school - hehehe one of the better ones that

Ahhhh the fun! the thing about practical jokes is that you have to take them as well as giving them, thats what makes them fun! REVENGE!!! ;)

Thats just made me remember one we did as cadets, lol.
we had this one kid who was a mega heavy sleeper, we were on a summer camp on an army base in brecon, the barrack blocks were if you can imagine the main stairwell in the middle and then two main rooms either side off a short corridor which housed a drying room a small store etc which led into the main 10 bed rooms (on three floors). all the blocks looked the same. 6 of us one night picked up this kid on his matress while asleep, carried him four blocks up, up to the top floor and into the opposite end of the building then put him on the top shelf of the drying room and left him there. man was he the most confused kid you'd ever seen the next day. totally shell shocked him.

Nice ones, Guy. They remind me of a few more I was in on, though not part of:

At school, the 6th formers stole a boarding house master's Mini (he was a very easy going Chaplain) and stripped it down to get it through the chappel doors, rebuilding it on the altar.

When I was working out of Elstree Aerodrome, one of the other instructors seemed to cop a lot of the jokes. He was very proud of his red Suzuki, complete with white bull bars and soft top ( :eek: ). Anytime the airfiled fogged out, one of his housemates would steal his keys and drive the Suzuki out into the middle of the airfield somewhere, makin it impossible for the owner to find it. Eventually, after a lot of stick about having a hair dressers car, he replaced it. With a white MR2. :rolleyes: One of the heli instructors went to Halfrauds and got a front number plate made up. He drove around for 2 weeks with ****** on his front bumper. :D

[discomadness]

eh just remembered another one from when i was an apprentice, we lived on the raf base i worked at in barrack blocks. one of the guys went away for a fortnight and we managed to get a key to his room. we soaked the carpet and sprinkled cress seeds all over the carpet and then left it. you should have seen the look on his face when he got back ! priceless
