Shop pranks

[Eagle Point]

We would load a charge into a condenser for a distributor and leave it on someones bench. If they picked it up soon enough they got zapped pretty good. Another favorite was squirting ATF on the transmission so it looked like it was leaking after just being rebuilt. I did that to a tech after he had this problem trans out and apart for the 3rd time. He fixed the problem, came back from a test drive, went to the bathroom and came out and gee it appeared to be leaking. After he had a **** fit I told him it was just a joke.
Another one was this other tech was given his first engine to overhaul so after he was finshed with it and getting ready to re-install it I put a connecting rod nut on his bench and sat back and watched him freak out. This guy was a useless POS so we let him figure it out on his own. Another one with this POS was when a campaign sticker for a candidate that he hated ended up covering up his rear license plate on his pickup. We parked our cars at work backed up to a fence so he never saw it there. He found out about it when he was driving home and a cop pulled him over and gave him a ticket. The next day he came to work and accused a guy of doing it that had nothing to do with it. One more gross one and I'll stop. The So-called service manager came in on a Sunday to do some paper work and brought his 2 dogs with him. Well, we all show up to work on Monday and there is dog **** all around the shop area. The jackass never picked up after his pets so while he was out in the service drive writing up customers I grabbed a big dust pan and gathered up all the **** and piled it under his desk in his office. Gee, he sat down at his desk and yeah he stepped right in it. The funny part was he really believed that his dogs crapped there.

I spent way too much time reading this thread, but I couldn't stop!

I've done a few here and there.
One of the managers son's (former company) was a complete tool, and highly annoying, no one wanted to work around him so they usually made him work in the sheet metal shop with us. He had his metal tool box filled with sheet metal tools. We'd screw it to the table, or tack weld it shut, simple things. One day he left for lunch, and it was pretty much a guarantee he'd be late getting back (he was the managers son, he could get away with it). So we took every tool in there apart, threw all the parts back in the box and shut it. When he came back the shop foreman jumped on him big time, said "hurry, we need to get this job done!" He wasn't thrilled when he opened his box.

Same foreman was incredibly OCD. So we would always open one drawer of his tool box about 1/4" and leave it, or spin his lunch box around, move his tape measure from the left side of the drawer to the right. He was probably glad when we left the shop!

In machinist school, the teacher was a big gear head, him and one other kid were always talking about their cars and what not. Teacher got around 6' of small tubing and a bottle of cutting oil. Fished the tube up through the exhaust and poured about a quart of oil into the muffler. I guess he followed that kid home after school that day, said the haze was incredible and the kid was pretty panicked!

I started my pranking pretty young... I don't recall this, but Mom sure does. I guess I was around 3 or 4. I got the dogs chain and tied it across the railing of the deck about 12" up, then proceeded to scream ****** murder outside. Mom came flying out of the house to rescue me when she hit the chain and flew down the 4 stairs to the ground. I'll admit, that's horrible and dangerous... but I sure do wish I could remember it or could see that on video!

Another one was this other tech was given his first engine to overhaul so after he was finshed with it and getting ready to re-install it I put a connecting rod nut on his bench and sat back and watched him freak out.

Ranks up there with leaving a lifter or pushrod on their bench

 

[Goldboattail455]

Take an empty plastic washer fluid jug (1 gallon) drill a hole in the cap and put a male airline fitting in. Electrical tape all around it. Connect it to an air hose that isn't supplied with air. Put it under someone's toolbox, and run the airline back to a supply. When said person approaches their toolbox connect the air hose and watch.

 

[Eagle Point]

OK, one more. Once in a while when someone had a cyl head off of a Datsun at the dealership I would pour a decent amount of coolant down the head pipe and watch the smoke show when they reinstalled the top-end and started it up. The test drives were really something to see. I'm sure that we could all go on and on with this post...........It brings back alot of memories.

 

[Johnny chaos]

A rubber valve stem in the top of a washer fluid bottle attach the air hose and toss it behind another tech working under a car.......makes a pretty large bang...........................I live in upstate NY so in the winter it gets pretty cold, one of my co-workers during a 10 hour shift kept going outside and poured water over my car doors the whole shift....I don't know how many gallons he must have used but that was a pretty good one.........Handful of wheel weights on a co-workers wheels is always a good one.........For a about a month mousetraps were the prank, there were about ten guys in the shop. Everyone was involved, they were everywhere...We would put about ten on the inside of the office doorway then page a co-worker to the office.

 

[Davi]

I haven't done this one but my mechanic mate has a few times. Get the apprentice to stand round whilst using the gas axe to remove a bolt or nut, when finished pick a different non heated one up off the floor with a pair of pliers, ask him if its hot and through it to him to catch.

 

[Lotek]

Had a manager at the Mazda shop where I was working who had a fast rotary pickup, bridgeported 13b iirc, one day he had the air cleaner lid off, so each of the secondary throttle bores in the carb got a healthy squirt of atf while he wasn't looking. He went out for a little road test, and when he got on it, it was wall to wall smoke, you couldn't see across the street for about a block.

 

[blackice]

one of the guys I work with gave the co-op kid a UPS courier bag/envlope, and told him we needed an air quality sample, to send in for emission test calibration. He told him he had to get an even sampling of air. He had to run around the shop, holding the bag open for atleast 5 minutes, then seal it real quick, so other air couldn't get in. once he was done, the tech squished the bag (there not realy air tight), and told him he must not have sealeed it good enough, it all leaked out, then made the poor kid do it again...... funny to watch none the less.

Keep em coming.....I love this thread

 

[Eagle Point]

And then there was the time at the Ford dealership when the detail shop was on the other side of a cement block wall from our side of the shop. There was a hole in the wall at about eye level and about 3" dia. The guy that I worked with grabbed the fire extinquisher, put the hose in the hole and hit the trigger when one of the detail guys walked past the opening. He quickly put it back on the wall and we both continued what we were doing. Well, next thing you know here comes one of the black detailers around the corner with white powder all over his face like he was dipped in flour. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. My co-worker said you look like you saw a ghost!

 

[arb905]

In the military we have an oil analysis program where an oil sample is taken and sent in to the lab to be analyzed. Since this is taught in a mechanics AIT he can expect to pull these samples.

While stationed in Korea I had a new private come into my office with a clear 35 gallon trash bag that looked as though he had blown it up like a balloon. When I asked him what he needed he stood at attention and said his sergeant had sent him to me with the exhaust sample I had asked for..

Of course everyone in the office fell out of their chair..

Dave

I remember doing that to newbs. He would hover over the exhaust stack on the 113's and we'd rev the motor. Funny watching the bag fly away until he'd get a good hole and then it'd blow a hole through the bag. We'd yell and scream at him until he got a good sample. Motor Pool Sgt always had the a** with us.

We'd also give newbs a piece of chalk and a hammer and tap the sides of the 113's looking for bad spots in the armor. We told him to circle the area that made a dull thud. Come back an hour later and the 113 was covered in chalk marks.

The other one was checking the air in the road wheels. We'd give them a cheap air gauge and check all the road wheels on the track for proper air pressure. They'd always try to get the air pressure from the Zerk fittings.

 

[Kev442]

A couple of wedding pranks.

The guys wrapped the grooms Mustang about three layers deep with pallet wrap and left a dull box cutter on the hood for him. He sawed at that wrap for about 20 minutes cussing all the while.

At another wedding, my bright idea was to fill the grooms hubcaps with a handful of gravel. I wasn't quite paying attention and didn't notice the groom's dad go to get the car. I followed a huge crowd outside in time to hear the groom's dad say "I don't know what's wrong with it, you had better take my car". I stood there with a goofy grin on my face until I realized that not one of these 20 clowns that heard the car being driven across the gravel packing lot had a clue what was wrong with it. I told them what the problem was and went back inside to get drunk in disgust.

 

[danv]

I worked in a mill for a mining company during the summers when I was in college. There were always pranks taking place . I remember one of the millwrights calling communications one day and asking for the operator to have Jack Meov paged. The next thing you hear all over the plant on the PA system is Jack me off, Jack me off, call 222. Another good prank was when we were gathered in the shop just before quiting time and everyone was just standing around talking. The shop was split down the middle with large 2 1/2 foot I beams. Well invariably someone would be resting up against one of these and someone would come up from behind him with a ten pound sledge and lay a home fun swing into the beam. Everyone looking the right way knew what was coming but the look on the face of the guy leaning on the beam was always priceless.

 

[oldtractors]

We had a slightly slow high school kid as a gopher in the shop for a while. His first job was mowing the grass behind the shop. I grabbed a face shield from the bench grinder and told him the OSHA rules said he had to wear it while mowing in case it threw a rock. When he started running the string trimmer, I said they are more dangerous and made him where a welding helmet while he did that. Did I mention it was 95 degrees that day?

We had a very tame doberman as a shop dog. About a week later, one of the other mechanics told the kid the dog was sick and he needed to get a stool sample from the dog. He gave him a cap from an aerosol can and told him it had to be fresh. So the kid spent the next hour or so waiting to catch a turd from the dog. He came back into the shop with a steaming turd in the aerosol cap. When asked if it was fresh, the kid replied "I saw it come from the dog's ***!". At that point he told the kid to take it to the boss and he would run it to the vet. So the boss is sitting in his office, talking to a customer and this kid sets the cap down on the bosses desk, telling him here is your dog ****!

You can't make this stuff up!

 

[OccupantRJ]

On the construction job, the gophers rode a bicycle with a basket to fetch hardware and smaller items. As millwright foreman, I would always send a newbie to the rigger's shack to get the dial scale so we could weigh something. The dial scale was one for a crane that had a 3 foot diameter dial on it, and a hook that weighed many hundred pounds. The readings started at several tons. Even for an experienced guy, the scale was a pretty massive sight. The newbies would always come back on the bike, eyes wide open, declaring that they had never seen a scale that big. I would ask if they were talking about the small scale on a pallet in the middle of the riggers shack, and you could see their minds trying to fathom what a big one looked like if that was the small one!

 

[OccupantRJ]

A guy at work would get all the new guys with a prank in the men's room by going in to pee, then pretending he saw no one in the stall, would cut off the light as he apparently went out the door. No windows, so it is pitch dark in there. The cussing would start, then as the victim would come out of the stall with his pants half down and feel his way to the light switch, the prankster would grab the victim's hand at the light switch and scare the bejesus out of him. Before the victim could recover, the guy was out the door and gone.

 

[Radio Flyer]

Take an empty plastic washer fluid jug (1 gallon) drill a hole in the cap and put a male airline fitting in. Electrical tape all around it. Connect it to an air hose that isn't supplied with air. Put it under someone's toolbox, and run the airline back to a supply. When said person approaches their toolbox connect the air hose and watch.

we use 2 liter pop bottles, they are louder.

Guys on the second shift set one up like that. When the compresssor was turned on in the morning everyone knew!

Boatail, I think we are neighbors.

 

[ihredo4]

A wedding one I heard about. Fortunately not involved in it though. A guy that had been known to lay his hand on women was getting married. His van was parked outside so they could get to the reception. Guess while they were inside tieing the knot when someone came up and poured a bottle of Skunk Scent into the cowl vent on the van. Never did see that van around again.

 

[nuclearlemon]

picture's worth a thousand words. the guy who did this said it was ok for him to do it since he's mexican.

 

[AlbertaGuy]

All right, I read them all because I didn't want to tell one that was already up. I drive an HVAC service truck and dreaming up pranks seems to be a favourite pass time. A couple that are never old... Take the window washer tube out of its mount on the hood and pass it thru the firewall. Duct tape it under the dash so it is pointed at ther drivers crotch. Usually takes a couple of squirts before he figures out why the windshield isn't getting wet. My favourite is running a hot wire to the horn from the battery and wiring a mercury switch from a home thermostat in series in the wire. Set up the switch so that when the front end of the van dips a bit, it makes the contacts. Every time the victim steps on the brake the horn goes off. As you hear him slowing for every intersection as he drives away from the shop you get to imagine the confused look on his face. For that favourite girl in the office... put a piece of tape over the little laser light under her computer mouse. Usually ends with a call to the IT guy to come fix the computer.

 

[DanCo]

I had a good computer mouse trick. Before the dawn of laser mouse, I went around the office and unscrewed the cap that would hold the ball for the mouse. Took out the ball. I had a big gulp cup for of mice balls. The IT guys weren't too thrilled with me.

Then at my last job, while I was still the FNG. The dept of santitaion who we sold trucks collection trucks to. They wanted to bar code all the tires using these stick one bar codes(similar to to tire patches) on the outside of the tires. But they sent us the wrong glue and we weren't grinding the tire clean. The dept of sanitaion complained, blah, blah, blah. So we had to come up with a way to adhear the bar codes so they wouldn't peel off. I grinded the area, glued peeled and stuck the bar code on, used a tire stitcher ect. But here was the kicker, I cut the heads of pop rivets and glued them onto the bar codes. All my co-workers were in on it. I called the first foreman and told him I got the solution to the problem. He saw it and flipped the fuct'd out. He turned beet red. We told him it was a joke, after 5 min or so he calmed down smoked a cig and said let's do it to the other foreman. He called him over said look what these guys did. He yelled who's the g'damn idiot who came up with idea? I stood up and said me. He said do you know how much each tire costs?(Mind you, 10 tires per truck X's 8 truck we were working on) I told its ok the tires are hold pressure. He pulled out the cell to call the boss, looking at me saying that's it you're done, you're outta here. Foreman #1 laughing his *** off at this point looks and says its a joke and peeled off the whole bar code patch. My boss found out by the end of the day, he was pissed. I started to fear the worse, he said next time you plan on playing a prank to call him over so he could see the looks on the faces of the foremen.

 

[Fuzz]

I was on a jobsite with a guy who was always pulling pranks. One day, he comes over to me with a piece of cardboard and asks to borrow my marker. He writes "I LOVE MEN" on it and then uses my screwdriver to punch holes in it and my pliers to bend some wire scraps into hooks. I chuckled and went back to work. When I got home, I was standing in the kitchen making dinner and glanced out the window only to see that sign hanging from my rear bumper. I laughed my *** off! I went outside and put that sign on the front grill of my room mate's car which rode there for over a week. I even told him the story that night but he never parked where he could see the front of his car. He was less than thrilled with his discovery. I laughed my *** off again.

 

[cuthroat72]

When I was working for an excavation company, one of the guys got the "bright" idea to pick on the civil engineer working on the jobsite. The engineer went into the portable toilet, and this wiseguy drops a large dirt-clod down the exhaust of the toilet. The engineer emerged, wearing blue dye and smelling like hell. He promptly found out who did it, and waited for his opportunity for revenge.

A couple of months later (by this time it is August), the wiseguy from before goes to the port-a-john just before lunch. The engineer pulls his truck up to the door of the port-a-john, hops out, locks the door to his truck, jumps in the boss's truck, and heads to an extended lunch. About an hour later, he returns and lets the wiseguy out of the port-a-john. Everyone was expecting a fight, but the wiseguy came out wearing a slightly green color to his skin, on the verge of puking. Not to mention he was basically in a sauna for the past hour! That's when everyone figured out that the engineer's policy on pranking was one of "I don't get mad, I get up one. Screw getting even!"

There was another guy at that company who was a little bit gullible. I had been assisting the pipe crew, and we were about to install a drain-fill for a parking lot, using corrugated plastic culverts, that were about 24" in diameter. Larry and I had put 2 pieces of the culvert together, which is pretty difficult. We had used soap on the gaskets to get them to slide into each other, but we "wanted to make sure that the gasket didn't slip". So since the other guy was of short stature and was generally skinny, we handed him a flashlight and asked him to crawl into the culvert to the seam, and look to see if the gasket was intact and in the right place. Larry and I then waited til he said "it's fine" (we knew it was because we had watched it go together), then told him to let us know if it was still fine when we got it in the hole. Then we kicked the culvert over into the ditch we dug for it, with him still in the middle. The little guy came out a little bit dizzy, but all 3 of us were laughing at him for falling for it. He had a good sense of humor.

 

[Joe69]

Mine's pretty tame compared to most of these. 2 years ago I told one of the newer guys that I wouldn't be in tomorrow. He asked why. I explained that it was my birthday, and we get our birthday off with pay. He was instantly pissed. He started cussing and ranting that if he'd have known that, he would have spent his b-day with his wife last summer. I asked him if they gave him an employee handbook when they hired him, he said yes. I asked him if he read it, he said no. I said "then it's you own fault", and left it at that. The next day, I showed up as usual, and he said "what the hell are you doing here". At that point I couldn't control my laughter. He called me every name in the book.

And for your Thermos toting coffee drinking coworkers.....

I take a handful of shiny new 10/32 nuts, remove the cup from the Thermos, place the nuts in the cup, turn the Thermos upside down and screw the Thermos back onto the cup, return the Thermos to the original location.

Now watch the panic on the thirsty coffee drinker's face when he goes to remove the cup. The nuts spill every where and he thinks it must be under high pressure and the glass inside of the Thermos must be spewing out!

Sweet & simple!

 

[OccupantRJ]

The office guy at one of my jobs wanted me to set up a coworker who always was whining about how he was treated, when I was the new guy. The company always gave each employee a birthday card by hand. When he gave me the birthday card, I acted all surprised and opened it in front of the other guys. A $20 bill fell out onto the table. I proceeded to pretend to read the card> "Thanks for a job well done, and happy birthday!" You should have seen the hurt looks on the other guy's faces, and the main victim jumped up and stomped off cussing like crazy.

 

[Herb]

One thing we used to do at the dealership for fun was to wait until the power went out during a storm and chase everyone around in the pitch black (no windows) parts dept with the old water charged fire extinguishers. That was always fun, someone would always run into a parts bin at full tilt. One of the parts guys was always the chump and the **** of all jokes. He grabbed one of the fire extinguishers and was trying to chase one of the parts drivers around, except the kid ran out of the parts dept., and at the same time the G.M. walked in the same door to see what all the noise was about- this time. Well, said chump leaps around the corner ready to blast the kid and there stands the G.M.! Well, he didn't get wet, but boy, that was still funny sh*t when he started bitching at the guy about it.

 

[OccupantRJ]

I had a good one pulled on me when I was about 20 or so. My mentor also ended up being my foreman on the construction site at the time. I came into the fab shop one day, and several men were gathered around the shop foreman's tall shop desk going on about something. Not wanting to miss out, I poked my nosey self into the group. The foreman was holding a quarter between his thumb and index finger of his right hand, and was rolling it down the bridge of his nose with his head tilted back and his eyes closed. He was doing a terrible job of it, so another guy suckered me into trying it, saying the others had also done poorly. You had to roll the quarter straight down your face without veering off to either side, while keeping all five fingers of your left hand inside pencil drawn circles on a piece of paper on the desk. The foreman explained how it worked to me as he drew 5 circles around a quarter onto a fresh piece of paper. He then had me place my fingertips of my left hand in a spread pattern into each of the circles. I was then instructed to tilt my head back and try rolling the quarter down my face from top to bottom. I was proudly able to do it flawlessly several times. They seemed disappointed that I did so well, then the foreman decided we better break up the group and get back to work. I noticed everyone in the shop was in a rather good mood that day, and wondered why. Oh well, about an hour later, I needed to go to the men's room, which was a mobile trailer unit parked outside. As I climbed the steps to enter, I was facing a large mirror on the opposite wall over the sinks. As I got closer to the mirror, I saw several black streaks from the pencil lead drawn down my face by my own hand!! I then realized the lead was picked up by the serrated edge of the quarter as the circles were being drawn. The trip back into that shop with about 20 other laughing men was a humbling experience......

 

[Herb]

This same guy was really squeamish so it was always fun ( for us) to find new ways to torment him. One time one of the techs got a hold of one of his shoes, walked out into the shop, poured water in it, and then brought it back for him after about 10 minutes. Well, guy doesn't know there is water in it and puts his shoe back on. When he starts yelling about his foot getting wet, we told him the tech had pi$$ed in it and that really freaked him out. He grabbed a can of glass cleaner, ripped his shoe off, and started spraying it and his foot until the nearly empty can ran out. He asked me for another one, so I gave him a can of carb cleaner instead. Well, that was pretty funny when he realized what it was, so I said "Oh, I'm sorry, I grabbed the wrong one" and handed him a can of white lithium grease instead! We had so much fun and laughed so much in that shop. I hated every day of being there but these times really made up for all the bad.

 

[Herb]

A couple of pranks we did on a regular basis were to take a bottle of washer solvent concentrate, open it up, and jam down into someones pocket- boy is that cold when it evaporates! The other one for a hot day when someone is really sweating is to take a desk stapler, click off a couple of handfuls of staples and drop them down their back- real fun trying to get all the staples off! I, like many others on here, could go on and on for days with tales of all the jokes and pranks that have gone down over the many years of being employed. The level of immaturity and the depth of these pranks is always proportional to the education level of the group involved, but they are always good for some stress relief.

 

[bgott]

We used to block the tires of tool trucks and the SafetyKleen truck. The SafetyKleen truck was the best, you could hear the solvent tanks they carried on shelves clattering and banging as they hit the floor when the truck went over the blocks.

I found these online somewhere:

Using a box knife with a razor blade, quickly slice off a big chunk off the edge of the target’s windshield wiper blades. The target will never notice until the next time it rains… and they won’t be able to use the wipers.

Mark lives in a neighborhood full of stuffed shirts and materialistic, bragging Yuppies. He finally had some fun with the vehicle of one from this breed of jerks. The air pressure in the new metric radial tires is fairly critical. Mark adjusted the air pressure in the mark’s car tire over a two-week period and had the snobbish Yuppie running the soles off his Nikes in frustration. “I increased pressure in the right front to sixty pounds one night. Two nights later, I decreased the one to twenty pounds and increased the left front to sixty,” Mark says. Mark was able to learn when this Yuppie was taking his car into the dealership to check the front-end “handling” problems, and the night before he normalized the pressure. “The dumb jerk spent about $200 on new parts and repair time, plus the dealer’s mechanics just kept putting new things on his car. It was great fun hassling this fool,” relates Mark.

Another smart and safe car prank is the fake accident prank. You leave a note on the windshield of the car stating "Hey dude, I am sorry for smashing into your car, I need to leave as I have some urgent work. Call me and may be we can work out some settlement." You can stick around and watch the poor guy go around the car trying to figure out where exactly his car was hit.

One of the easiest car prank is the broken side window prank. You will just need a side window glass. You can buy an inexpensive low quality glass window from an auto parts shop, preferably dealing in second hand parts. Break this glass and spread its pieces on the drivers seat. Once you are done with this, role the window down. When the owner opens the door, he would be left baffled to see his window glass shattered.

A quart of ATF hooked to a ported vacuum line makes a nice smoke show. The best part is it only really smokes when the throttle is opened.

If the stores gave us any grief we would connect the stores racking up to the spark plug tester or the rest room door lock , charge up a cap and give it to them as a sample

Got my son and his wife one time. Seeing his brand new ride at a local pub, I left a hand written note on his new Trailblazer. It said "Sorry but I accidentally backed into your front end. Please take it to a body shop so they can inspect for deeper damage as I hit it pretty hard. Please have them call me for the damages. Call me at 555-555-5555."

So he looks it over and doesn't see anything visual so the next day he takes it to a body shop. After a pretty "thorough" inspection, the body shop says, "Well it's difficult to really determine if the energy absorbing devices have been compressed and inner bumper supports damaged so they should be replaced."

So my son and the body shop manager dial up the number on speaker phone. Much to their surprise.... the number is for the local Prayer Request Line! No damage and a good lesson to the body shop to be honest!

 

[Barry Tucker]

I came into possesion of a large amount of used stripper clothes. A large amount. I put one outfit, with "essence of stripper" under the truck seat of a an arrogant friend. I figured one of his farm help would find it and they would have a good laugh. Well, it so happened that he bought a new truck and he had his wife clean out the old one so he could sell it. This was during planting season and his days started at 5:00 am and lasted till 11:00 pm. When he sat in his easy chair one night ready to relax, his wife brought him a baggy with a little white outfit in it, wanting him "to tell her about it". He opened it up, pulled it out and asked if she was going to wear it. He had no idea what was going on. Wrong thing to say. She was mad. "Divorce mad" for several weeks until it leaked out what happened. Everyone except him had a good laugh about it. Regards Barry

During the winter months, I would always go and start my beater car in the parking lot to defrost the window. One night, I go start the car and turn on the defroster, then go back inside to clean up my tools and work area. 5 minutes go by and I look out the office window to see if the car is warm yet. Nope. Go back to another short project for 5 minutes. Go back to look at the car and still the window isn't defrosted. I start wondering if the themostat isn't stuck and the car is going to overheat? As I'm mumbling obscenities to myself, I notice one of my coworkers chuckling and then realize they are %^#$%^ with me. I go out to check my car, and realize they have sprayed the Christmastime "frost in a can" on the inside of my windshield. It was hotter than all hell in the car, but the windshield still looked to be frozen.
It took over an hour to scrape that **** off of the windshield and dash of the car. I laughed for about fifteeen minutes of that hour, then it got to be "not soo funny". Never did payback the prankster.

 

[kmkalf]

at work we have a guy nicknamed "Speedy" and for good reason too. couple weeks back a drive came in with a straight truck that needed 4- 11r22.5 tires. policy at work is to torque them down with a torque wrench- truck leaves- i put an extra lug nut in the slush that fell off the truck- had him clean his bay when he noticed the lone nut- rushed out the door trying to catch the driver- came back in and was asked if he torqued each nut than why would there be an extra- that is when he realized that it was an extra nut hence his nickname
