I was on the phone will one of my sales reps yesterday and we were just
BSing I won't say what company. But he told me that one of s co-workers
took a dump in a shoebox and left it in the back of some other guy's
pick up truck. I couldn't believe it. Then he goes on to tell me about
the day they did the same thing only put it the drawer of another guy on
a Monday and he came in with a cold and couldn't smell a thing. He said
the entire office smelled terrible. Another thing they do is put half
eaten egg mcmuffins in a desk and leave in there untill the person
starts to look for the smell. I thought at first it was just story
telling but after talking for a few I'm sure he was telling the truth.
My god does this happen in other work places? LOL How nasty. Funny but
nasty. It thought some of the things we've done at work were bad but
they don't compare to this. Anyone else have any good practical jokes
they have pulled at work?

I heard the actor George Clooney tell a great one on the Howard Stern
Show. It's similar to the ones you were talking about.
When he was younger and staying with a room-mate, the roomie had a
kitten that was constipated.
He took it to the vet, and the vet gave him some medicine, telling him
to keep an eye on the cat, and see it it went to it's litter box.

When he was away, George took a shit in the cats box.
The roomie came back and saw a turd in the litter box that was bigger
than the kitten and freaked out.
I was laughing so hard when he told the story I had to pull of to the
side of the road.

We have played a number of harmless jokes on some guys at my work.
Grease on their car door. On other objects around the shop. We had a
russian guy work with us who was just learning to speak eglish and we
teach him oscene word in place of other words. That rump rangers were a
branch in our military and he would say he was one from Sanfransico so
do'nt mess with him. As stupid as this one is we would make tails and
signs and tape them to him as he was leaving for lunch and they would
stillbe there when he came back from BK. The best was the tape ball wars
we would have. I nailed this Bangladesh (may be spelled wrong LOL) right
in his upper lip at about 20 feet and split it wide open swell up and he
almost cried. He told me I changed his face and he was going to scare
his daughter when he got home because he did not lookthe same. LOL They
go on and on. Work used to be fun. Now it sucks.

A few years ago, I worked in construction, and as a joke I hit some guy's hand
real god damn hard with a big checkered head framing hammer, I cracked up and
thought it was the funniest thing ever, he thought it was so funny he almost
pushed me off a roof

Hah it's funny that you bring this up. On Monday we put a sardine in my
boss's phone. We put it right inside the handset. The best part is that he
is gone for a 4 day weekend. On Monday, that thing should be pretty ripe!!

Other things we've done:

Put some fruit in a can and labeled it "extra ram", and put it in the
equipment closet. After a month or so, a new coworker found it and thought
"Oh cool... I could use this in my computer at home!" SURPRISE!

Greased all the doorknobs with black grease.

Put black printer toner on the black phones.

Rigged up a rubber band contraption in my cubicle that would cause a rubber
band to fire after about a 1 minute delay, and hit a coworker across from
me. I'd rig it up, make sure he saw me leave, and come back in 5 minutes.
He'd always be staring at me with a dazed and confused look when I came
back. He never did figure out how I did this.

The best part, was that I managed to rig up the same thing on someone elses
desk! I'd go over, talk to them as I put the rubber band in place (without
them noticing), and would walk away. After about 30 seconds or so I'd hear
"THWAP!"..."HEY!! STOP SHOOTING ME WITH RUBBBER BANDS!! What?? It wasnt
me??"

Ah..... what fun!

We like to start Fruit Fly ranches in pint milk containers. Put a hunk of
banana in there and water it every couple of days and soon enough.. Viola'!
Fruit Flys. Now make sure to place this in someones book shelf and everytime
they go for a book a bazillion little bugs fly around. If they don't put 2 and
2 together you can get quite a few days entertainment out of it.

Years ago, in my nursing assistant days, I really rocked at the nursing
home......literally! It was a 3 floor nursing home with 120 or so patients.
I found an out of the way phone, dialed the overhead speaker number, and put
a full volumed rock radio station right next to it. It was a good 15 minutes
before they found it. The house rocked that night!

outside, and she went to wash her hands, as soon as she turned the water
on it came squirting out all over her, and got all over our kitchen
floor..Well, Just To shorten It up I got ground for the rest of the

When I used to be a mechanic, we used to do things like weld up the other
guys toolbox, stitch together the legs on his overalls, put a running hose
in his overalls pocket whilst he was washing his hands, etc.

The following aren't really jokes but my uncle had the shits with one of his
neighbours so he;

Put prawns in the little vents in front of the windscreen on the guys car on
a hot summerday.
Poured acid on the guys tinroof whilst they were a sleep.
Arranged for a ton of manure to be delivered to the guys frontlawn.
Ordered pizza and taxis to go the airport under a false name.
Poured battery acid on the guys laundry whilst he had the washing on the
line to dry.
Stabbed the guys tyres on average once a week.

Just a tad beyond the joke perhaps.

When I used to work on drilling rigs in the oil patch we
used to look forward to when cement service crews were at
the rig to cement casing. We'd fill up the boots with cement
of co-workers that were A-holes, you know the type, it seems
we all work with at least one or two of them. Great fun.

A few weeks ago me and some buddies at work taped an open
can of sardines under the bosses desk, it got pretty ripe. So now
I have to be careful because he's a practical joker get even type
of guy too. I wish he would just get even, I'm tired of being so
paranoid at work waiting for something to happen.

At the place I worked before I rolled a chocolate power bar into the shape
of a turd. I put it in a case of printer paper that was stored in the
restroom and left it thinking the other technician would find it. Well a
little later I hear our secretary scream. Since the other tech was out I
was able to blame it on him. At my new job we don't play practical jokes on
each other. We have daily wrestling matches.

That's not a joke that's asking for an ass kicking! When I was very young, I
worked in a drafting department and we had a couple of fellas that could
fart up a storm, so much so that they would do this as a joke, with everyone
watching, one of the fellas would walk over to the bosses area, talk quite
civilized to the boss (who was a very straight company man, no sense of
humor at all) and let a very, very, very bad gasser. We'd all watch and
listen to the boss (in a drafting room it's all open area), deal with this
the best he could and try not to notice, but finally there would be that
pause and the face would wrinkle up, and we would all just die laughing. I
don't think the boss ever figured out what was going on, these guys must
have pulled this once a week. Man where they smelly on demand, they had it
down to an art.

My dad told me a story that cracks me up every time I think of it. When
we lived in Berkley my dad planted new grass in the front yard and put
up posts with string and little flags on it. One of the kids on the
block would run through the string and across the yard everyday on his
way home from school. Well my dad didn't like the kid to begin with so
he drove some 2x4's into the ground real deep. Then he bought some
really strong test line and wrapped it around a few times. Then he went
in the house pulled up a chair and waited. Sure as shit here comes the
kid from the bus stop see's my dad put up the new line and get's into
full gear. So at top speed this kid hit's this test line and stretches
it few feet until the spring back whip's him backwards rolling across
the driveway ass over head over and over. He said he rolled at least
three times. LOL. My dad said he laughed so hard he almost pissed
himself. Yep dad always did have a good sense of humor. Still does too.
I would have loved to see it. Oh the kid never ran across the law after
that either. LOL

Here's a couple of dirt bike practical jokes we used to do:

1. At thr starting line of a big race, we were staged in lines. Our
"buddy" was on the first row. As they flagged the first wave off, we held
on to and lifted the rear of his bike, so his tire just spun. He thought he
dropped his chain! Took hi a minute to figure out what happened.

2. During one long, hot ride in AZ, we all "christened" a guys new, air
cooled 4 stroke with urine. It stank for weeks.

3. Holding you hand over your buddies muffler while he's trying to start
the bike is fun, too.

Reminds me of when I worked for one of our Nation's biggest military
contractors. One of my co-workers and a night janitor were having a war of
sorts, leaving each other things to irritate the other each day/night. He
asked for my help, and I designed a trash-can buzzer made from a rubber band
the size of a fan belt. The band was attached and streched actoss the
bottom of a plastic trash can in his office and wound about a million times
with a huge paper clip in the middle covered with metal-tape. When the can
was lifted, the band spun, creating a "BRAPPPPPP" sound - much like the old
rattlesnake in the envelope trick. The funny part was that the can acted
like a megaphone, and the sound was more like an uncorked YZ426 on steriods.
Poor janitor almost had a heart attack.

Speaking of the oil field; About 20 years ago, I was working
derricks for a well service contractor. When I climbed up the derrick
one day, one of the other floor hands lit a rag hanging out of my back
pocket. I got thirty feet up the derrick before I "felt the heat".
<g>


Another time, (Well, I was kind of mouthy in my younger days, ), when
I climbed down, out of the derrick for lunch break, the gang pusher
said, "I told you not to piss out the top of the derrick anymore."
Then, he and the other two crew members grabbed me and hooked the rod
hook into the loop in the rear of my safety belt. The gang pusher then
cranked the pulling maching back up and, with the draw-works and
pulling cable, lifted me 70 feet in the air and left me swinging while
they all went to lunch. I swung back and forth until I could get
ahold of the side of the derrick. Then, I climbed up the derrick
to get some slack and unhooked myself, before climbing back down to
eat my lunch,also


Once, when working on the maintainence crew at a refinery, I saw one
of the guys taking the seeds out of a hot pepper and mixing it in a
Red Man package. I asked "What's Up?", and was told to wait and see.
It seems that the "Lead Man" for the crew was bad about bumming a chew
and these guys were mixing up some retribution. When one of them got a
chew later in the day, sure enough "Bob" wanted one too. The crew
member tossed the doctored pkg to Bob. After 5 minutes, Bob left the
job site. When he came back, he had left his teeth in the shower
house. His mouth was too blistered for him to wear his false teeth for
a week. He never bummed another chew that I am aware of.

Friend of mine works for the phone company. They were doing some
project or another and had one of those Men Working signs with the
orange flags coming out at 45 degree angles. Kids from the local high
school thought it was funny to drive by and yank the flag out through
an open car window (they just slide in). My buddy screwed the flag to
the sign one day. Brand new black Firebird drives by, grabs the flag,
which pulls the metal sign right up against that beautiful shiny black
door. Scraped all the way down the side once he let go.

The moral of the story, it's difficult to get away with the same
annoying trick more than once. If you are dumb enough to try it a
second, third, etc. time, then beware!

I thought I should add a few.

#1 DO NOT TRY THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Working for a company that made there own control panels, we would
wrap a piece of solder accross thw two main feeds. (110, or 220 VAC)
ones they switch it on for the first time to test, It will shortened
out, blow the main fuse, but the evidence (solder wire) will be
evaporated in a big cloud of brown smoke.

When I was still living in Europe, we would bring in a treat like
donuts or things like that. One of those is like a Jelly Belly but its
filled with cream. One day we hollowed on out and re-filled it with
Bearing Grease (TAKE A BIG BITE)

Start a post that someone's computer date is set wrong and it's fouling
up the Newsgroups. Use all kinds of technical jargon and
make suggestions what could be wrong.

i build towers for a living and the stories on here are tame compared
towhat goes on in the field!!!when were out in the middle of nowhere you
have to go....naturally....so we got in the habit of using a bag in a 5
gallon bucket in the back of the truck.....leaning against a tree was
gettig old since we would have to walk or take the quad at least 500
hundred yards for some cover...well.....on a really hot hot day i had to
go with2 of my guys up on the tower,,,,while in the back of the truck
they called on the raio that they needed something so i hurried and
finished up ....i was in such a hurry that on my way out of the truck (
without tying it) i set the bag down and got them what they
needed.....after a couple of hours in the hot sun they came down and
went to put their tools back in the truck.....i didn't even realize that
i had left my deposit in one of the guys open tool boxes ad when he
looked in his box and said what the fuck isthis and proceeded to open
the bag ......the warm air rushed out of the bag and about knocked hi on
the ground.....we laughed so hard our stomachs hurt but that poor
bastard almost puked.......i know.....total sickness .....bt i still
laugh today thinking about it

I worked with some practical jokesters...
I was slated to perform bring-up diagnostics on a large mainframe computer
system <read: VERY expensive>. After pre-spoolup checks, I fired the system
off. It started smoking and I quickly shut it off. I began to use a
multimeter to debug but could not find the source of the trouble. I fired
off the system again and it started smoking like crazy. Nearly pannicking,
I shut it down and started checking everything much more carefully.
Meanwhile, I notice these guys off to the side some distance splitting their
sides. One of them had snaked a long chunk of vacuum hose through the
system and was blowing cigarette smoke through it when I'd power it up.


Theis story is from Robert Pease of National Semiconductor...
He made a 'growler' that was a sort of microphone with a feedback network
and speaker. He had it hidden in the ceiling of his cubicle office and
tuned to the vocal frequency of one of his annoying bosses who had a habit
of camping out in his cube and bitching about things. It worked by
listening to his voice and generating an annoying audible squeal while he
spoke. After a short time, the problem boss went away to find another sap
to P&M on. (I can dig up schematics for the circuit if anyone wants them)


I had a high school physical education class with a buddy, one day we were
in the gym standing in line for role.
Happened to look over to my buddy Steve, and noticed he was dancing a rather
peculiar jig. He could not stop.
He quietly left shortly afterward -in a disturbing sort of agony and did not
return.

later that day I caught up with him at lunch and asked what happened.
He replied that somebody had juiced his jock with 'BenGay'.
He was still a bit...hot about it. <pun intended>

Buy a packet of octopus or squid(Bait and tackle store variety) and prick
small holes in it. then pop it in the door cavity of your worst enemys car.
Do it in the summer, and he will have only one option.......to take it to
the wreckers and be offered a pittance for it.
This is fair dinkum, so only do it if you hate the person with a ferver!

Also on a lighter note, fill the vents of a mates car with those little
polystyrene balls that they fill beanbags with. Turn his fan on max, and
wait till he gets in to turn on the ignition. INSTANT SNOWSTORM! It will
take forever to clean the little buggers out too!

I had a friend who was, uh, a guest of the state of Ohio for quite a
while. A guy who lived down the hall had this nasty habit of strolling
into his "house" and using Inkee's hand cream as hair gel... so one day
Ink dumped out the hand cream and filled the bottle with good old
fashioned Elmers glue. Sure enough, the guy strolled in, dumped a bunch
in his hand and slapped it in his hair. That cured him of that nasty
habit. The only bad thing about it was when Inkee forgot he had put the
hand cream into the Elmers bottle and tried to glue together some sheets
of tattoo artwork with Jergins lotion...

We took an old exhaust from Midas and laid it under a friend's truck when he
left it in the driveway overnight before a race. You should have seen his
eyes when he backed up and saw it laying there.

We also used to have a deer leg which we would lay in the bottom of the
vending machine at work. Most people don't look, they just reach their
hands in - big surprise when they feel fur :-).

How 'bout using a big cable tie on the prop shaft. Go and it makes a hell of
a racket against the tunnel. Stop and it stops. Takes weeks to find.

Geez Ad, I was thinking you and I might ride together sometime, now I

I like hot peppers and I like Red Man... Wonder how it would sell in stores?

We used to have some drives that had a air gap between head and platter
smaller than a smoke molecule (at least that what I was told). His
prank could have crashed those disks if the smoke got past the filters.
Then the yoke would have been on him. :)

You and a buddy of mine would get along just fine.
He used to gross me regularly with his home made
grape jelly, cheesewhiz and chocolate sauce on
wonderbread sandwiches.

No joke.

Gawd! How he could eat that every day is beyond
me.

We tied big wire ties to a not-so mechanically inclined friends drive shaft.
He calls me wanting me to fix it. I pulled a wheel and brake drum and told
him it was a loose spring in the brakes. I sent him in the house to get me
a flashlight so I could see to fix it. While he was in there I cut the ties
off his drive shaft. He bought me a pizza and 12-pack of beer for fixing it
thinking a mechanic would have charged him $100 or more
