Fun pranks at work

[=Death Hunter=]

So I work in an industrial environment meaning I can get away with alot more than the average office worker. So today I've cut the air hose off of an old broken grinder (keeping the air-line plug-in on one end) and we've duct taped a large rubber chemical glove onto it. Placed just on the other side of a buddys weld curtain. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!! We ran an unplugged hose to it and when he came back from break we were kind enough to wait til he put his earplugs in. We were 2 booths away when we plugged it in and... WHOOOOM!!! We could feel it 20 ft away! Hahaha so f'n loud!!!! Hahahaha he was abit "startled" you could say.

 

lets hear some more!!!!

Make 20-30 copies of a paperclip in the photo copier, moving it a little each time.....

Then put all the papers back in the copier.

 

It usually takes people 30-60 minutes to figure it out

 

It's AMAZING to see the large group of people gather around the copier lol

tonight we took the same air wand and cut up a shit ton of flouresant papers that come in on parts bins. Diced and shredded it. And had a fiesta for one of our mexican buddies here at work. Hahaha

 

we pointed it into his welding booth and plugged it into an airline when he got back from break...priceless

 

tack welding guys tools to the tables

Working at a Ski Resort, one night my supervisor and I went onto a balcony as a co-worker walked out the doors. After calling her name, we promptly dumped 2 large scoop shovels of snow on her as she looked up. Was one of the more amusing ones from that night alone.

one of my favourite pranks is to take icyhot (an analgesic sport gel) and to put it in someones helmet. We did this a couple times when I was younger at hockey school.

oh dude thats a good one hahaha

 

Tonight Im gonna put gear grease in my buddies welding gloves. All the way in the fingers. Then Ill say im sorry and give him a brand new pair out of my locker (that ive secretly put grease in also.) Should work out great. He'll wash his hands and get the double whammy! lol!!!!

[Achiyan]

^^cruel and unusual. lol. has anyone gotten you back yet?!

[Ghostwind]

mmm... not for the gel in the helmet... though I had someone hide my gear on me 10 minutes before I was supposed to go out and referee a game. that sucked.

Its definatly a war at my work lol you always gotta watch your back hahaha. Even someone walking through your booth while your welding can get ya.

 

the other day we put the trigger lock on on my buddies welder and leaned a crowbar onto his wire spool (grounding the wire at the spool instead of at the gun) sparks flew, made a nasty racket and prolly 30-40 ft of un spun wire flyin all over. it was great

 

plus the trigger lock was on so it kept goin lol

 

when i worked in the back in test and accept i got to drive tanks everyday. grease the drivers handles. undo battery cables. leave a hatch sensor undone so when they inspectors take it out the comnputer keeps saying "driver caution...gun turret drive inactive.." over and over and over. cruel but funny

High school we had some good ones.

 

As a chemistry lab assistant, we had access to alot of nasty chemicals. Home made stink bombs in lockers were great for clearing a hall.

 

Made contact explosives with nitroglycerin. Put small amounts on objects and watch the explosions. Not enough to hurt anyone of course.

 

Pure sodium. Walk by and drop it in a bucket of water. Stand back and watch the fireworks.

 

 

 

When I was a flight medic/nurse we always did pranks.

 

KY Jelly on the under side of the ambulance door handles.

 

Go out to the ambulance and turn on all the lights, sirens, radio on full blast, Heater full blast in the summer, windshield wipers..... basically every button. Then when the person driving would go out and flip on the battery switch they didn't know what to do first to stop the racket.

 

Dispatchers would go for their break and we would run about 50 feet of IV tubing through the ceiling right over their chair, connected to a syringe in the next room and drowned them with a few syringes of water. Sometimes we would just drip it to make them try and spot the leak in the ceiling and when they get right up on it, douse them with a full syringe.

 

We had a satellite base with seperate rooms for guys & girls. Before bed, we would rig up a bunch of fishing line to various objects. Watch a scary movie right before bed and after in bed for about 10 minutes, we would start making things move in their room. Screams are funny.

 

After bed, put plastic wrap across the toilet and put the seat back down. Girls would get up in the middle of the night to pee, not see it and the pee runs off the plastic all in their clothes.

 

Driving back to and from the satellite base was about a 2 hour drive. You didn't dare fall asleep. Any number of things from beard & mustache drawn on with marker to having your flightsuit stuffed with napkins or anything else we could find.

 

Find someone on a satellite team who would be gone from the main hospital for the 36 hour shift and do different things to their vehicles in the parking lot. Two of the best was lining a guys truck bed with a tarp and filling it with water and putting balogna covering their windshield in the summer to bake on in 115 degree heat. Their windshields would be greased up for a few months.

 

If we had a really heavy sleeper, we would take him outside the satellite office in his bunk and let him wake up in the parking lot.

 

Rubber spiders & snakes in boots. OK..... the snakes weren't that funny because we were in rattlesnake country.

 

Slow night in the ER? Want to wake them up? Run down the hall with a baby manikin in your arms yelling for help.

 

New charge nurse in the Cardiac ICU? Has a history of Irritable Bowel Syndrome? His 1st night as charge nurse, kept him going for 8 hours telling him we were transporting a kid on heart-lung bypass (ECMO) and it would be a tough night. Even provided him with a fake name & medical record number....... Jenny Ginny..... Medical Record # 8675309. If you all remember the Tommy Tutones song "Jenny"..... you'll get it. He was in the bathroom for about 5 of those 8 hours shitting himself.

 

More recently in my new job, it is business as usual.

 

Somebody forgets their pager on the desk? page it with about 5 or 6 emergent, STAT, CODE or ICU calls. Watch them scramble until they figure out that we don't have a room number C9 355.

 

Scare tactics is my specialty, though now. Hiding behind corners & doors. Lying in wait. Great stuff. Even managed to get on an elevator without someone knowing I was there. (Don't ask how..... it's a long story of how I got there.)They were too busy looking for me around a corner. They pushed the button on the elevator and the door closed. They turned around and there I was. Didn't say anything, but she screamed all the way up 11 floors. I could imagine someone waiting on an elevator hearing that steady scream go by.
