You could try convincing someone this is a game; grab a magazine and roll it into a cone. stuff it into the top of your pants, put a 2 dollar coin on your head and try to drop it into the cone. once you have done this tell a mate that if they can do it they get the 2 bucks. while they have their eyes closed pour a bottle of water down the cone-it will go straight into there pants... very funny

Well at work we have an ice machine. One of the dairy guys thought he would piff ice at us. So we filled a large bucket with the ice, and unsuspectebly tipped it down his back, like they do in the movies.

We also had an experiment, to see what would happened if we threw a bottle of sunsilk into the cieling fan in our storeroom. The outcome consisted of getting as many mops as possible to clean up the mess before the boss saw it.

But there are too many to list. But some very good ones.

ask for a short stand......a sky hook the old left handed hammer..


but my boss told me the BEST story ive ever heard of....

young bloke started at a place he worked at.... was sent with a wheel barrow up to the hardware to get a can of compressed air as the compressor had run out....

so he goes off wheeling the wheelbarrow up the street....gets to the hardware store where they carefully lower the can into the barrow.......and tell him that he has to be bloody carefull as if he even so much as bumps it, it will explode and blow his balls off...

so there he is, wheeling the barrow back to work bloody slow and carefully.......what a laugh!

At my old work i went in one day and i had had probably a combined total of 3hrs sleep in the last 2 days so i was a zombie basically and the boss sent me across the road to grab a left hand disc rotor for a VL so of i trodded to get a left hand disc rotor until the bloke at the wreckers told me both sides were the same, i knew that i just completely didnt think about it so i went back to the boss and told him they only had right hand ones because they are out of left handed ones.

Used to work in a department store (electrical dept) in Sydney and always knew when a New guy started at the Butchers up the road . They'd come and ask for a box of "short circuts" & a "reverse-cycle switch" so it would send the "power back the other way" and the county council would give them a credit on their power bill .

As soon as we got the Idea , we worded up a couple of the other Electrical stores in the suburb & sent him to them as well & they'd sent him to another one (always the furtherest away , of course) .

Owner of the Butchery thought it was great , the kid would be gone for hours :

no pranks for me. too easy to get the sack

although
expander foam/grease gun attacks in toolboxes are fun. Or posting gay porn all over rollcabs gets the laughs.

hmm, the shenanigans of a country supermarket...
before my time (about the late 80's), the grocery boys made an orange gun and were shooting shepp brickworks across the bare paddock. they did this for months until they made one of their own, whilst one of the young blokes (now a manager) was relieving himself behind the storeroom an orange bounced off the top of his head and smashed into the tin wall. The IGA shooting range was closed after that...

I bet the new kids cannot do any chin-ups so when they say, "i'll prove you wrong" i take them to the meat room where the nice greasy rails are... it takes a few days to get all of the black grease off and they never do it again...

Another one was, we told a new kid to get in a box, this particular box had a hole in the top and being the gullible little fellow he was, he poked his finger through said hole when we asked of he could see, at that point we taped up the box and filled it with flour and shaving cream...he still hates me....

He He... At the old Ordnance Factory days.. That progressed to bearing blue on the toilet seats (black seats) and superglue on the white ones...

Another was setting the cutting coolant hoses at face level for the next guy to turn the lathe or mill on...

When I was an apprentice a tradie always hosed down any one in a confined space.

if you have fellow work mates that enjoy Coke (cola), get them to drop a Mentos in the bottle as it "adds extra flavor" and is an experience they will never forget.

if they have lightning fast reflexes get them to drop the Mentos in and put the lid back on the bottle as fast as they can...then Shake it up!

you better stand well back too!

im guessing you work for a supermarket....we did the same with those exhaust fans we wanted to know if theyd do damage so up went a few bottles of yoghurt (because a bag of sugar was sucked right through) except the yoghurt hit the sides and came back down....LOL

old trick is super glue a coin to the floor, or make a spill on the floor and fence the dry floor.....its damn funny

On the topic of coke last year at tafe we emptied a blokes coke bottle and emptied the sump of a briggs and stratton 4 stroke we were working on into the coke bottle, it reached his mouth and spat it out before he swallowed, he was washing his mouth for hours. Damn it was funny.

I used to do night shift in the skeleton crew over the Xmas break.. We used to wait for someone to go and lay a cable.. When their pants were around there ankles, a bucket of water from one cublicle followed by a bucket of saw dust from the other side made for an itchy night.. Try and get all those shavings out of a wet pair of undies :P

We used to go around and TIG weld a tack on the lid of the appretices tool boxes

We held a guy down and gaffa taped him to the arm of a forklift and lifted him 6 foot into the air. Poor bugger couldnt squirm or wriggle in case the tape broke

when i worked at IGA there was a guy up on the stacking pallet things about 15ft in the air. The manager was under he was pegging bags of old lollies and stuff and us. He slipped and kicked a box of Baked Beans they came flying out and landed on the managers head the top and bottom of the cans. That would of hurt. Alot of blood.

Manager was a nob though so i laughed at him

A few "go for A's" from a sawmillers point of view:
A jar of sparks.
A board straightener.
A bucket of compresed air.
A can of polka dot paint (same as tartan paint).
Rock softening solution.
Black permanant or whiteboard texta on the inside of peoples ear muffs. end result big black rocky raccoon ear rings.
Put spiders under the phone so when picked up the spider scares them, grease is also a beauty on the phone handle.
Glue coins to the floor.
Hang unsuspecting fellows jackets, jumpers, water bottles, eskys anything really, hang them from the roof rafters 6 metres up. special trick to it :
Tape up anything of anyones into a ball with 2 inch scotch tape or plastic jack wrap, why not try a combination of both with multiple layers.
Soak seats with water so people who sit on the butt all day don't get to sit down they have to stand up like everyone else to do their job.
Turn the heater on flat out in bosses office on stinking hot days and in return turn air-con on 16 degrees when it's freezing cold days.

Hide all the coffe cups. :the_finge
Pour softdrink, grease or oil into the fingers of someones leather riggers gloves.

Had a night shift cleaner convinced for 3 months that our main air compressor was actually a power generator for the sawmill. I finally told him the truth.

But the following is the best by far...
OK..To start with there is an unwritten rule at our local golf club that if you don't hit your ball past the womens tee-off area you have to "dry-hump' the green hole, to what hole you where on at the time was how many times you had to 'hump-the hole"
We had a local young bloke who was only working at the mill for a short time he and some others were playing golf one weekend and you guessed it..he had to "hump the hole". Back at work on the monday word got out on the floor what had happened and everyone was giving him crap to which he took a great disliking to.
We had the upper hand..we got a white dust suit "sperm-suit" filled it full up with sawdust, taped on gloves, helmet and gloves to meet OH&S requirements : Wrote the fellas name on the back and his football number. That was just the beginning. Cut out a big piece of white plastic and painted it green, grabbed a 2x1 stick and stapled a triangle flag with the number 4 on it. It was layed out on the floor across from him, all set up in his glory hugging the pole and all.HAHA. the poor bugger broke down in tears called us all the c's and f's under the sun and proceeded to smash up out little display.

And i'll end with this a PRANK BREAKER.
A kid i went to school, with his father had problems with blokes drinking all his cordial from his drink bottle at his work, oneday he was fed up with it. HE yelled out "right you BAS^@RDS" this is my bloody drink bottle and i'll make sure you pricks never drink it again. He pulled out is old fella and wiped it around the mouth piece of the drink bottle, put it back in the fridge and stormed out of the smoko room......
It was never drank again.

yeah man where i work we do heaps of stuff, from glue on the hats, black dye on the hats (black hats), all sorts of garbage in the staff drinks (some bugger put a load of grease in mine before, yuck) vinegar in someones water bottle is always great fun , getting the new people to jump through hoops, as a joke i once said that toilet breaks were only every 6 hours, some guy actually waited for 2 hours.
