Best vehicular pranks

[daveshoe]

I was with my bro in law who lives in Colorado. We were in the back country driving in steep terrain with many switchbacks. He keeps complaining that his brakes feel soft. pretty soon he says that the steering feels loose . Just as we approach a sharp curve at a switchback we PLUNGE down-------- a shortcut that you could see only if you knew about it

To add to the fun I should mention that I'm from a pancake flat part of Ohio and the ride before the plunge had me nervous enough!!

Mercapten and rattlesnakes?

Wow..... glad I never worked where you did! Nobody screws with my truck because they know I'm likely to bash them with my 2 pound brass hammer... ... . but the usual joke here is to coat the door handles with either Kopr-Kote or the black Teflon pipe dope. Jeez that stuff is nasty... ... .



2 guys up here around 10 years ago or so worked together at the same plant-the pair of them were practical jokers. Their exploits ranged from the above handle-doping to putting a dead cat under the seat of the electrician's truck. One of them propped a dead coyote inside the engine building of another operator's pumpjack-guess he ran like never before when he opened the door and saw it there with its fangs bared ... ... .



We wired a buddy's left turn signal to his horn once too-knowing that he wouldn't be using it until he got right in the middle of a populated area.

I once tied a dead rabbit to the arm on a commercial door closer. The boss swung the door open and got a face full of rotten rabbit flesh.

I have a friend who leaves his truck idling every time he stops and goes in somewhere. One day I went over to his parents house to find him. His truck was sitting outside idling as usual. It was on a 100 degree humid day, I opened the truck and threw the heat on full blast. I went in and forgot all about it. About 15 minutes later we went outside in time to see his Dad jump in the truck. Woops.

We used to do that to the battalion chief's Suburban. It got so hot it began to delaminate/cloud the windshield!

The same fella that engineered the dead coyote in the engine building stunt apparently also rigged a dead gopher on a loop in somebody's process building. When they walked in to log it out, as soon as they opened the door, the gopher swung down on the noose and whacked them in the face. Tell ya, if it would have happened to me, said individual would have found it in his pillow case... ... ... .

Gas Compression pranks (not on topic)

Big snowball down the vent of the Port-a-john while someone is in there.



WD-40 sprayed on a welders arc. (Makes him think he has just blown-up)



Find the new guy's lunch and take one bite of everything before lunch.



Trap pressure in the fuel gauge then block and vent the fuel.



Ground the G-lead inside the conduit.

i was out with some friends like 2 years ago... one guy had to go real bad... there was a porta crapper near by and so he went there. . it was next to a play ground [renovating playground i think] so we started pouring the pea gravel down the stack. we did find a soft ball sized rock in the pile too... guess where that went... it's real hard to run when you are in tears laughing:-laf

While staying at a motel,a group of friends once took a buddies winch cable and attached it to the door knob of his room after he went to bed. Got up the next day and couldn't get out of his room!!

Remind me never to go onsite with me4osu! Nasty nasty tricks... ... . I used to see a few along these lines but they weren't pranks as such-done by the stoner I used to have to follow on-shift because he didn't know any better. Opening 2 methanol injection points (of course you check to see that the one you want to use is open-I learned to make sure that the rest are closed) was pretty common. He had a real problem with valves-apparently he believed that if he closed off a bypass loop the fluid would go through the main valve that was still closed just because he wanted it to... ... that one got messy. Bright fella!

If you have access to get inside you friends car, take the paper remains out of a 3 hole punch for and funnel them into the AC vents, turn the AC on high and sit back and enjoy the party when they start the vehicle.

styrofoam shipping peanuts crushed up real small work good too.

All the static makes em stick to the glass real good

put some sugar packet in the blower. When the defroster is turned on you have a sticky windshield.
