Shop practical jokes

[JasonCzerak]

from a movie I saw

There are currently 2 quarters, 15 feet from the pop machines, right out side of my cube, double sided tapped to the carpet.



--EDIT:



Co-worker found it (cute girl), bent over, couldn't get it up. I laughed. Next guy comes by, starts kicking them up. gets one. . starts on the second, connects and kicks it like 50 feet smack into a window.

Ok... here's one that got me... .



Car got towed in to the dealer I worked at after driving through a large puddle. Another tech got it and started working on it. I went and filed some paperwork in my office, and when I came out Steve asked me to give him a hand. His starter button was on the passenger side of the engine, and all the plugs were out. He had some test equipment on the drivers side and could not hit the button and see his test equipment at the same time. No problem, I'll hit the button. WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH! 3 cylinders of water right in the chest!



The engine had been hydrolocked, he pulled the spark plugs and found the cylinders full of water... . did the ole set up of pulling all the plugs, and filling the cylinders with water... .



Good thing it was the end of the day. I was out of uniforms for the week!

PS... although I don't work there anymore... . I have plans to get him back.....

I might just have to find a Rainbow sticker to put on his car! (he's homophobic) as well as set up a wiper assembly with a spray nozzle and 2 microswitches under his tool box. When he tries to lower a car on the hoist, microswitch 1 actuates the wiper assembly to full out, switch 2 puts power the the fuel pump and nozzle hidden under the box and proceedes to spray him from the bottom up! :-laf

We had a aircraft ow tractor that the windwhield washer wasn't working right. I got that fixed and filled the tank with water and burned the back window nozzle to my left and the front one to the right. Pull up to some one and hit the switch. Not to many got ****** as it was 100+ in blue coveralls, black boots and white concrete.

jb welded a quarter to the sidewalk infront of the shop, dude breaks the blade of his knife trying to get it

something that has proved to be funny time and time again, while the co-worker is welding something give it a spray of brake cleaner, that will wake him up in a hurry as hes jumping away from the huge flame that quickly goes out, and yes it has happened to me.



also, my boss was in a hurry one day and told me to set the tig welder up for him at the bench so he could weld something, so I didnt hook up the ground and he goes to strike the arc, and well lets just say his body acted as the ground, id say it was a real "shocker"

One more for that young Airman - send him to Base Supply for some prop wash. It's good for cleaning those computer circuit boards. Tell him it's available in quantities of 5 oz spray cans up to 55 gallon barrels. If Supply doesn't have it, he may have to go someplace like Intel or Circuit City or someplace like that to find some.



About 20 years ago, I told one young guy he needed new muffler bearings - he went over to Midas to have them replaced.

Prop Wash

When I was in Okinawa, we sent a guy out for "Prop Wash" and he came back with a 5 gallon can of it. The brand name was "PropWash". Surprised the heck out of us!!!

I worked in a large shop where the office was a wooden shed in one of the stalls. We took a forklift and lifted the shed up and put a couple of nuts under the center floor joist. The shed would see-saw on the nuts. When we would talk to the boss we stood on the fulcrum and rock the building. It took him a couple of days to figure it out.



He also drove a Plymouth, One night we replaced the ballast resistor with an electronic flasher. The engine would start and die. Pretty soon we could hear the engine running at very high speed and quit then restart just before it stop spinning then rev again then quit then rev then quit.

Very, very nasty! I love it! :-laf

I work in a oil field supply shop (we build pressure vessels, storage tanks and so on). One of the guys from the paint shop wanted to be welder so they put him on storage tanks. The first one he did we waited till the man hole was straight up (this was a 20' by 35' tank) and unpluged his rollers. We left him in there the rest of the day (couple of hours). He now carries his cell phone when he goes inside tanks now so he can "call the office if we do it again".

Had a guy who always had the best story. I could have been abducted by aliens on national TV and he would have a far better story.



So we are all standing around arguing loudly about who could bend over the most welding rods around the back of their neck when Bob walks up.



I was led to believe that all that acid flux really burns your skin on a nice hot humid Houston (I know, that's redundant) day when you can't wash it off.

i work in a SS fab shop. we had a kid that was "the best tig welder ever" so one night after he left i switched his gas line with the water cooler line. needless to say you hit the trigger and out comes 32 seconds of water while trying to strike an arc. the guy didn't know it was ******* water every where because he didn't wear a auto-darkening helmet. ever see someone do the croppie flop? :-laf

P. s. as far as coins glued to stuff you gotta glue one in the change thingy at the bottom of the pop machine, the best welder dude was in there with a screwdriver and didn't get the nickle out :-laf

I worked in a shop where this one guy would never change his uniforms and he smelled rather foul. One Friday we got into his locker and placed a tuna sandwich in one of his pockets. After fermenting over the weekend, he was finally able to smell himself. So could the people down the street.

What are the odds of that happening

 

[TowPro]

Better yet, put a wet cigerette filter into the coil wire hole in the distributer cap then put the wire back in. It will run until the heat of the spark passing through the water in the filter drys out the water, then they are stuck on the side of the road.

Well in my old days of the shop of

3. remove the coil wire from distributor and sit a few spaces away when the mechanic figures out that it is missing in the grocery store parking lot.

 

[Todd T]

this one is rather crude or gross. I'll try to keep it clean.



used to work in a machine shop. this one old fart had a physical problem with his "boys" elephantitus or something like that. well he could with his pants still pulled up and buttoned take his boys out over his waistband and let them hang out



he would then walk up to an unsuspecting sole and lift his shirt up to expose his "boys" hanging over his waistband.



you should have seen the looks of people when they would look down and see those grapefruits hanging there. :--)

I was a supervisor talking to a deeply religious owner with no sense of humor on a construction site when one of the guys snaked a leather-gloved flesh colored fully erect thumb out the zipper of his coveralls while standing right behind the owner. Try to hold an intelligent conversation when that happens I am sure that I turned purple trying to maintain control!

 

[J Shocik]

Another goodie...

I worked with this one religious guy, we nick-named him "Rev". One night at coffee break, someone had a "smut" channel on TV, of course it was scrambled so you couldn't see anything, but you could hear everything. Rev walks in, and asks what's on TV? I told him it was some "fanatic religious cult channel" & I thought they were doing a human sacrifice. "Why do you think that?" he asked. I said because I heard her saying "Oh God, I'm coming!!" and he said "Oh J***s Ch***t, wait for me!!" He embrassingly said "I don't think it's that. " and left quickly. He didn't see the humor in it, the rest of the shop did!! :-laf
