Anni,

Did you go to my high school? Were you there when I stole the school bus?

it starts from being sent for a short weight, a long weight (yes... you read the spelling right, but the purpose was actually "wait"

Ah the old ones are the best :D

Makes me think of some of the other ones, stripped paint, glass hammer, skirting board ladder:p

Bubbles for the spirit level, they come in boxes of a hundred and in assorted colours.

Sparks for the grinders, again in assorted colours, depending on what size, grade and type of wheel you are using.

Tarten paint, but please be sure you get the right clan.

:D Any more needed.

Fictitious things you can send newbies to fetch!

I worked on a paint crew once and there was always a rag with mineral spirits on it for cleaning up a misplaced swipe of the brush. When someone new came to work, I always got to take them to the paintroom and point out where everything was kept. I'd always tell them to "come with me, and grab that rag and put it in your back pocket....

After a while the mineral spirits would seep in and just set their butts on fire! HA!

It's always fun and kind of an initiation to play jokes on new neighbors, new employees, new members of your crowd. I am glad that we started this practical joke thing and I will now have a place to share my practical jokes. Just reading about other people's pranks inspires me. Today, I was at the gym and messed with a weight machine after I got done with it so it was really hard to use (just adjust the settings). But it was so much fun! Here I am a petite woman and I had my weights set at about 100 lbs. Some big guy comes along and can't even do the same weight and gets all embarressed. I just have too much fun! Keep me so happy and distracted. I hard care about it being Christmas this year!

Thanks guys!!

Great thread!

Worked in a research lab.
Discovered a large cockroach that had squeezed it's way into a test-tube overnight.
I took it (hidden behind my back), into the lab down the hall whereby best friend was working, hands and mind focused over a bunsenburner.

I told her I wanted to show her something. She said she was really busy, to just put it in her lab coat pocket and she'd take a look at it later. (Even better! Snicker.)

I was standing behind her, so I just casually slipped the test-tube over her shoulder and slid it and the cockroach down into her breast-pocket, and cheerily strode out, waving bye to all the good folks there.

I went back to my own lab, and waited.... A few minutes later, a chorus of screams, running feet and hysterical laughter...
