Default Shop Pranks...

OK, So let's hear them. I have had my door handles of my old van caked with rectorseal by a competitor as a prank... and in return, I put BLACK roofing tar under his BLACK door handles on his van.
Let's hear em' boys. What have you done? What have you witnessed? What are you planning? (Please keep it 'semi' clean).

Picture of most recent prank:

at the local supply house. (he he he)

We had 2 guys at the shop that would always play pranks on each other. they did this for about six months. I started playing pranks on them and they were blaming each other. Put big round boulders in the back of there pick up trucks. wax ring under door handles. wheel chocks under all four tires. chain cast iron pipe to thier trailer hitch. to this day I don't think they know it was me.

We always have microwave popcorn for the guys that it "butter lovers". Well one of them used our yellow tape to cover the "er". I didn't notice until a customer came in for a bid and wanted a cup of coffee, noticed the prank and asked what kind of shop we were. He actually was joking with me but I didn't know at first.
Second but AWEFUL prank, back when I was the shop help we used to notice that the Clobber drain openers were missing out of the locker cabinet. It was found out that one of our plumbers had a vendetta against his ex-wife. Back then you could open hoods of cars w/o getting in the inside. He put it in her windshield washer holder. Karma got him though, cops found out and wham-o.

I had a helper put Slic-tite on my door handles when we were setting finish on a fire job. Later after lunch I was setting a water closet and he asked if I could hurry up so he could use it. The light was poor as the power was still off. I finished installing the water closet and put a fine layer of DAP on the seat. My helper never said a thing about it so I figured I didn't do a very good job. The next morning he told me he thought he was sick because his underwear was stuck to his backside when he got home. I had a good laugh and the guy never messed with me again.

Added water to RootX inside a service van of our least liked employee.



We got in a lot of trouble for that one. You all know how that stuff grows...well, it was one solid mass of foaming rootx from windshield to back doors.


The idiot who poured the rootx wasn't supposed to pour 4 freaking pounds of it into a half bucket of water.

When I used to do commercial AC, the plumbers were doing the pressure test on the water lines. I would walk around with a bottle that had a tiny hole in the cap. Under some stub outs, a little sprinkle of water will drive them insane looking for the leak. Now that also I do plumbing, karma will get me big time.

I've been known to put panduit straps on people drive shafts. You tuck the end of it under the loop so it doesn't break away until they get going pretty fast then all of a sudden, the end comes out of the loop and starts slapping the crap out of the underside of the truck. Sounds like the truck is about to loose a wheel or something. Scares the crap out of ya.

I heard of someone replaceing people's flux with heat proof grease in the same condtainer. That's pretty evil though.

On trim outs, tape the sprayer handle down and aim it out. Tell the helper to go test of the fixtures for full flow and crossed lines.
