Work Stunts
« 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.  :( :(

I am a industrial cladder and years ago when i first started a few of the lads screwed one of their apprentices to a gable end and left him stuck twenty odd foot up for an hour,  he smelt a bit funny when they brought him down :)

I remember this girl at work a few years ago was always skivving off to the toilet, so I nastily s t r e t c h e d cling film across the pan, she went genuinely to the toilet for a number 2 the look on her face when she had to leave to get showered. OMG, My bad.

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

It was fine a while back. The H+S executive would now execute you.

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).
