Have you ever taken place in workplace pranks?

Post Reply New Topic

My first long term job was working at a resteraunt where I was tormented daily where I had many pranks pulled on me. I was so aggravatted from this and everytime I retaliated against my aggressors I got in trouble.

At my second long term job I decided if I am messed with I will retailate no matter what. So everyone would cut holes in people's water cups silly kid stuff like that. But for me I would wait for people to be away from their machine so you could simulate the sound of their machine breaking down. I figured out how to do this with an electric engraving tool on a metal work table guys would wondering around talking and all of sudden the sound of a machine crashing could be heard which would make guys run to their machines in a worry. I noticed when I took part in pranks I did not get in too much trouble as long as no one got hurt or nothing was damaged. My funniest prank was when an emploee fell asleep at his desk and I glued a work glove to his groin area with this sealant stuff we had that did not stick to skin but was like super glue to cloth. The company rented uniforms so when that uniform came back it still had a visible hand print on the crotch. With all this i still did not fit in but my torment was not as bad.

Anyone else do stupid stuff like this to fit in.

Reminds me of a bunch of s**t I have pulled.

I would hide people drinks and objects they needed to do their jobs on them.

I have already payed friends to come into the cafe and start arguments with management and stuff..

Worked with a perverted old man at one point (who was one of the cooks). Kept on poking him in the but with a broom handle. He laughed like crazy about it. Also one day I had to unpack something that was in a long, narrow plastic bag. I put some mayo in it and set it on his work spot and walked off. A minute or so later the old man would come back from break and make a wise-ass remark about paul bunyan leaving his condoms laying around.

Another great thing about being janitor/maintainance as well as dishroom was the fact that is just rig the dishwasher to "Temporarily" break down for like 5 minutes. Usually involved getting stuff stuck so that nothing would go through. usually had to sacrifice a fork or two to do that.

No. But I've wanted to pull pranks on customers, I could never get the managers to approve though. Like on Halloween I've always wanted to hide in the five dollar movie bin under the DVDs and grab random customers when they start digging for DVDs.

I had a co-worker who always had a roll of toilet paper by his machine to blow his nose or for when he got sweaty. He was always complaining he could not find it with all the clutter on his work bench so I found this really big roll of packing sponge like fabric that we wrap delicate parts in but looks like giant roll of toilet paper. So I took a bit of pvc tubing and made it look like the way he had his toilet paper roll on his desk replacing it with the giant roll. Everyone just about pooped their pants with laughter and took pictures with their cell phones.

He always complained he could not find his toilet paper well this time he could spot it across the shop.

I've never pulled pranks on the job, but I do theatre and I've been involved in theatre pranks. When I was in the King and I, there was one scene where I had to wear a hoop skirt and bow to the king, and I had a trick skirt that would go over my head and expose my buttocks (the audience couldn't see). On dress rehearsal night I drew a huge smiley face on my underwear so that when the King and Anna stood behind me while the skirt went over my head they'd see a gigantic smiley on my butt.

It didn't throw them off, I'd never do something that would throw a performer so off on stage that it would affect the show. They loved it, so I wrote them words on my butt every night.

There was a prank someone pulled where Anna shows all the King's wives a picture of her husband Tom inside a locket, and we were just using a blank locket. One night someone put a humourous picture of a man inside the locket, and all of the women were trying really hard to hold back our laughter. It probably added a new dimension to that scene, and we were lucky that the director, who was in the audience that night, didn't notice.

Once when I was in the musical "Anything Goes" there was a very serious scene where we were all singing a serious number and we were directed to look up at the stage manager's box, which was behind and above the audience. On closing night the stage manager did a stripper dance with pom poms on his head while we were looking at him.

I've never done anything like that.
