re: What is the best office prank you either did or saw?

I’ve seen what makes you laugh. Your boos don’t concern me.

When my office switched over to LED lighting, I told my coworkers that another coworker went home early that day because the LED lights made his beard and hair dye look purple. They all believed it and still ridicule him about it.

Annoytron-check

Wired a backup alarm into a co-workers trailer pigtail.

Wired a car horn into another workers turn signal, again off the trailer pigtail.

Put two giant zip ties on their driveshaft.

They got me back by putting a zillion hole punch dots in my desk/office.

Open can of tuna in coworkers desk drawer over Christmas break. He was not happy.

Worked a plant during a startup and we had just hired new operators that had just completed their initial training classes. On a cold night, I asked one of my operators to go to the building next door to get a metric crescent wrench from another supervisor. He caught on quick and told her he had just loaned it to guys way across the plant. After getting there she realized she had been duped. She came back and yelled at me initially, but laughed afterwards.

In my younger years when you didn’t have to worry too much about sexual harassment, we had this hot older redhead that always dressed to the nines. She liked to tell jokes and didn’t mind dirty ones. One time when she had on a short dress, I had her stand up, turn her back to me, put her hands on her knees, look back at me and told her to spell “Run” three times. She stopped after the second time with a red face and started laughing. I wish in reality I could have put it in

Pre-arranged with his team leader and approved by their boss introduced a recent immigrant Brit ship manager to April Fools Day. He was with Conoco Shipping which managed lightering tankers discharging at Corpus Christi, Freeport, TX and Lake Charles, LA, in shuttle trips from Conoco's supertankers coming from Libya.

The Venture Oklahoma had just finished discharging at Conoco Lake Charles and was outbound to load another cargo offshore Freeport. I called Peter, the Brit, to tell him that it hit a capped oilwell and oil was gushing from the seabed. The ship had a gashed hull and resting on the bottom in shallow water. USGC was evacuating the crew and everyone was safe.

Peter must have turned white and immediately went to his boss' office to announce the situation to which Dave, his boss, replied, "I know" with a straight face then wide grin. I understand that the entire office was laughing when he exited Dave's office.

Peter called me back and told me that he would get his revenge and the best part is that I knew it was going to come but not when or how

Peter was laid off a few months later as the oil embargo with Libya stopped Conoco's supertankers which were then sold off and crews laid off as well. I heard he had taken a job as a residential construction supervisor for a major homebuilder in the Houston area.

I met his team leader a few months later while in Houston. She always had risque comments and jokes but was well, fat and ugly.

Purple Spoon, are you in Alabama?

Any time a new guy would leave his computer unlocked and walk away we’d send an email from his account asking the entire office where he could find a plunger.
