Folks Of Interest Butthead tricks you have pulled on your friends!

Did a huge building around 2000, was going to be a distribution center for Hasbro, it was 1/4 mile long, with loading docks all down the back side. 90% wide open with no partitions, huge echo chamber. There was a wood butcher in there with a radio that he would blast all day, and the job supt kept telling him to turn it down. Went on for a few days, then the supt came in and cut the cord on the radio- so the WB called the Sheriff on him. They came out, and when they ran his name he had traffic warrants and got cuffed and hauled off. Owner of the company pulled up a couple hours later with the supt after bailing him out, he and the WB circled each other like pissed of cats for a couple days

 

hung a cardboard sign on the back of a older guy's truck that said. i support gay rights, honk and wave if you do. next day he was talking about everybody honking and waving, till someone told him about the sign. thought he was going to kill someone over that one. that is just but one, i have pulled but i look at it this way. if i pull a prank i better be able to take it too, cause my coworkers are good at it too.

 

One of the sales guys asked me to permanently mount a radar detector in his new Buick. When I finished the job I found some rusty nuts and used strip caulk to stick them on top of the car so it looked just like it was bolted through the roof. I parked the car below his office window, hoping he would look outside when I gave him the keys. He did, and hilarity ensued. Phil had a great sense of humor, we’ve laughed about it many times since that day…

 

much like this story, when i first became a carpenter i worked for a residential (house) builder. one of the foreman hated rock music and would only play country on radio . he was leading a crew outside installing siding and etc. while another carpenter named sherman and I were inside installing insulation. we both wanted to listen to rock music so sherm brought in an old radio, plugged it in and we listened to rock, we were not blasting it just had it loud enough to hear. foreman came inside the house and turned it off.... so we turned it back on.... so he came back in and cut the plug off sherm's radio..... so at coffee break sherm went to defcon4 and used the radial arm saw to cut foremans radio in half !..... sherm wasn't on our crew the next day.

 

Got one of the painters from or body shop to make me perfect replica Illinois license plates front and rear (even had fake renewal sticker on rear plate). The plates read “I B Gay”.
I put them on a much hated service writer’s car. He got pulled over on the way home a few days later by the cops. I wish I could have seen the look on the cop’s face when he told him about the fake vanity plates on his car. And his face too! I almost pissed myself laughing when he told us about it a few days later.
Man, I guess we are a bunch of evil bastards. Who knew?

 

Friend's sister had a bumper sticker that said "I love (Heart) Cocker Spaniels" Sticker was white, car was white, and I had white PVC tape. So, I covered up "er Spaniels". Her husband was driving her car, and was commenting on how people were beeping and waving to him...
Then he saw the sticker.
Put Chicken Bullion cubes in the locker room shower heads at work. That stink doesn't go away easily.
Put rice in the hot water heater another time. We were all going out for Happy Hour after work. Couple guys combed their wet hair back. As their hair dried, they started to resemble Max Headroom

 

Me and another buddy put 2 pounds of unpopped popcorn down the stacks of another buddies Little Red Wagon with some oil. On his drive home it started popping. He had fresh popped popcorn for a day or 2. He was not happy. But the Chicago cop that pulled him over and gave him a ticket for littering did get a good chuckle out of it.

 

Guy at work used to drop the worst duces after lunch every day. Stunk the bathroom up so bad you couldn’t go in for two hours after. He worked on a different floor and used our bathroom because our floor was mostly empty. Everyone knew not to go there in the afternoon.
One day someone took the door knob off the mortise lock. He didn’t realize when he pulled the door shut. He finished his business and was trapped in there for three hours. This was before cell phones. He never came up there again.

 

At break time on weekends, the TV in the lunchroom was always tuned to sport (which me and a couple of others don't understand), so before the shift started I would put clear tape over the "hot" pin on the plug, so with the tv plugged in, it wouldn't work. They would turn it on, nothing happened, then go to the next department and watch their sport in there. (This was at a small airport, so sometimes there were several hours in between flights.) Because I was the electronics tech, It would get reported to me to repair, so I said I will look after it. Once the tape was removed, it was Abbot & Costello or the 3 Stooges for the rest of the shift!

 

Phillips screwdriver in spark plug wire laying on intake, fire up the car and have someone hand you the screwdriver....

Its a shocking experience...

 

In the 50's Riding thru the drivein restaurant with 3 guys in the front seat, the guy in the passenger seat ducks down and it looks like the driver and center seat passenger are kind of gay. In the 50's it was very funny, today it's not, some kind of predjuce.

 

Pulled the refrigerator light and screwed in a outlet to plug in a power supply for the back up alarm
The guys sure do jump when you tell them to help themselves to a cold beverage...
I never said 'free'

 

A dead fish wired to the muffler smells nice for a while....

 

Joke pulled on me...
A buddy and I were out on an overnight rescue an old part trip. We returned to his house a day later. I said my goodbyes to he and his wife and drove the hour and change home in my 1949 Chevy half ton, Fentons 2x2 Carter-Webers on a period dual Edelbrock on the 1956 235, 1969 Saginaw/Borg-Warner 3sp+od transmission. Got all the way home and then noticed his wife had zip tied a very, very road rashed set of TRUCK BALLS on the bumper bracket.

 

Years ago a buddy had a 63 Fairlane and we were all out cruising with our cars together. While he was in a store, we took a length of wire with alligator clips, jumped 12v from the brake light pressure switch on his master cylinder to the horn, and then shut the hood. He jumps back in the car, and every time he hits the brakes, the horn is blowing. We were sitting at a light and the horn is just blaring, other drivers are getting furious, flipping him off, yelling at him, he's just like, "I don't understand! I'm sorry! I can't help it!" We were laughing so hard we were crying haha

 

We had a chief that would come to the station and just help himself to what ever was in the refrigerator without even asking! So someone, not sure who, made some brownies with exlax , a lot of exlax in it! Broke him of that habit! Lol

Walked into work one morning, took my stuff to the kitchen to put it on the counter. There was a Walmart bag on the counter with fresh eggs in it and a book, so I knew immediately it was firefighter Brown's stuff, he's the only one that reads, plus he has chickens at home lol. But I couldn't help but notice the PowerBall lottery ticket that was also in the bag... you see, all the guys in my company put in money for a lottery ticket, we've done this as a group since before I started working at the department, kinda tradition. But ol tight wad Brown never would give us any money. So I grabbed my pen and wrote the numbers from his ticket on the palm of my hand... see where this is going? Yeah later that night when I walked in the day room and said "alright bitches, I got the lottery numbers", Brown pulls out his own ticket and almost shit on himself! He was dancing around, screaming! Captain asked did you really win?? Brown said "hell yeah I won! You little suck ass!" Captain looked at me and asked if I was fucking with him? I said nope! Brown looked at him and said "no he ain't fucking with me! I won and you're jealous! I gotta call my wife! And fuck you Cunningham! I quit! I never liked you and the only reason you got the captain spot is because you're a kiss ass!" Well, I went online and looked up the numbers while all of this was going on, checked the groups numbers, and of course we didn't win. I then laid my phone down on the table and told Brown to check it out... you should've seen the look on his face..... he never said a word, just got up and went to his bedroom... Captain said next time you've gotta let me in on this shit!!!

 

Worked shift work once upon a time....just half days, 0600 to 1800 hrs
Had a mandatory meeting at 0800 that my boss at the time, kept reminding me that 'we' couldn't be late to.
I came in the control room to fetch him at 0730 but caught him sound asleep in his chair
I set the clock on the wall ahead to 0920 and slammed the control room door like I was coming back in...
he jumped awake, looked at the clock and started yelling at me asking why I hadn't gotten him to the meeting and let him sleep...
"hell boss, I woke you up twice"...
We made it to the meeting and I think he still is pissed....

 

Haha. Classic firefighter pranks are usually top notch. We got to much time to think at work lol.

 

You got that right! I could go on for hours!

Years ago i had a boss that would sneak up on you in the field.
A couple of times i'd be up a power pole, leaned back in my harness fixing some shit when he'd pop out of nowhere and kick the shit out of the base of the ladder.
Fucking hilarious...
