Title: Work Stunts
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 02 February 2010, 12:39:44
Painters once pianted the back of the work boots of some joiners working on scaffolding.  They said nothing when they realised, then about a month later the painters went on a pee break when they runturned thier paint brushes had been nailed down and thiet paint pots had been superglued in place.

If ever you pissed the pipefitters off, they welded your padlocks on your tool box or locker.

during a refurb i put an angle grinder across 5 copper pipes in a basement after the plumber told me they were dead. the panic that went through me when the siezed stopcock snapped when i tried to turn it off. took nearly 2 days to drain the place of water.  ;D ;D ;D

We had 2 lots of contract plumbers, the best one did a job to get corgi registered, but the 2nd plumbers (Fater and Son) took the credit and got thier Corgi Registration.

Whilst at the pub, the land lord asked them to put a new sink in.  The hot tap had cold water coning out, the cold tap had Stone's best Bitter coming out of it.   ::)

Been partly responsible for someone ending up in the looney bin (he deserved it), but other humorous pranks have included livening up a toilet (with a megger) and giving labourers a lesson in how FP acts as a capacitor when charged with 1KV  ;D

A few years back while working on an RB44 one of the craftsmen would never use the tools in his box,so they were always nice and clean and never missing yet ours were diffy a few every now and then so one day we 'borrowed' his toolbox and welded it to the workbench,drilled a small hole on the back of the box and attached a grease nipple(you can already see where this is going) we connected up the powered grease dispenser and left it connected for about 15 seconds.After we had finished filling the box with grease we superglued his padlock.Oh how we howled with laughter whew he nearly dislocated his shoulder trying to remove his toolbox at the end of the day,nevermind the padlock and contents drama that followed.It was well worth a week of 'extras' for me and my mates as none of us would own up to it !  :y

that brings back a sad memory, i asked a very old labourer to help me carry a very large 4x4 metal box jig across the factory when i did sheetmetalwork. i laughed as he struggled to carry it all the way across the building. felt sick the next day when i found out he died of heart attack the same night he helped me.  :( :(

Reminds me of when at school instead of cling film under the seat we put folded tomato ketchup sachets under the seat lugs that was fun when someone sat down.  ;D

Fireproof cable.
The proper term is Mineral Insulated Copper Clad (MICC). It is also referred to as "Pyro" (after the manufacturer Pyrotenax) as well as MI (abbreviation of Mineral Insulated).

Old type of foam fire extinguisher - the cream coloured ones with the lift and turn handle then turn upside down to use...

Two different liquid solutions inside.  Block a toilet and place one liquid in the pan and the other in the systern.

When flushed, A and B compounds mix and create oodles and oodles of foam that floods out under the door......

apparently....   :-X

Shouldn't you have been harassing innocent motorists instead of mucking about in the toilets?

This was in a previous lifetime as a Merchant Navy Engineer, prior to harrassing the great unwashed...   ;D

When I first started there was a joker in my unit who used a fibreglass cast roll to wrap around my office chair.  the resin set hard and I was not gonna be sitting on that again.  He went Canada for a couple of months when he came back he found his beloved A3 on bricks with a note; a clue to the first tyre. ;D

4 tyres later thought he was ok until he read the final note

"And now for the jack......"    ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oh the days of mirth we had in the operating theatres, amputated toes would turn up all over the place i.e in the girls lockers, in the butter container in the canteen and anywhere else you could find to stick em.

The girls got me back though by dying my nads blue when I was having an op. Weeks of scrubbing wouldnt shift this stuff called methylene blue. ;D

Well, I am again going to recount the story of when the pikeys decided to pitch up in the car park at work years ago.

MD was bricking it because they had to wait 14 days to evict them. We had customer seminars booked and all sorts. Meanwhile they were openly using the car park as a toilet and so on.

Anyway, first thing they did was set up the satellite TV, of course. Could see them through the window of the caravan havign a cuppa in front of the TV.

So, into stores and out with a 10GHz sweep generator and an EMC test antenna pointed in their general direction.

Switch it on. picture gone. Out he comes to adjust the dish <click> picture back. Wait until he picks up his tea <click> .. and back out to the dish <click> repeat until they get bored and clear off. Got rid of them in 2 days. 12 days faster than going through the official channels. ;D
