lippy 789 #1 April 16, 2004 I work with a guy who's always playing pranks on people. He's gotten just about everybody in the shop in some way or another, and we wanna get him back. If I've learned one thing about skydivers, it's that some of us are sick and twisted individuals who would have some great ideas for this. So let's hear 'em...I got nuthin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpjumps 0 #6 April 16, 2004 In college a friend of ours had this stupid license plate thing.. You know, the kind that goes around your plate. He got it when KU won the basketball championship, 88, I think. He LOVED this STUPID thing. He talked about it all the time. We were sick of hearing about it. So we stole it off his car in the middle of the night. We sent him a note from the thing telling him it had had it riding around on the front of his car catching bugs and junk. Whenever we knew of someone going somewhere we sent the stupid thing along and had them take picture of it someplace famous. Then the picture and a note from the thing came in the mail. He had NO idea who did it! We kept it vacationing for a year before we put it back on his car in the middle of the night. It drove him nuts trying to figure out who did it. We did not tell him for a long time after it was back on his car! _____________ Edit: added the STUPID line! _____________Your character will ultimately determine your destiny.

lippy 789 #7 April 16, 2004 He's in his mid 30s. He's basically the shop manager, in an oilfield services shop. Vehicle is a Taurus station wagon, always locked. He's physically fit, and we're not going to fuck up his head any more than it already is. Virtually any tool we'd need is available, and manpower isn't an issue. On a slow day we'd get 30 people easily. Managment would be happy to help (they regularly help me out by paging him to his phone after I've taped a capacitor to it)I got nuthin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #10 April 16, 2004 Okay. Now it appears that we know what we are dealing with. This should be more April Fool's Day "have a laugh" stuff than true payback hooliganism. Am I correct? My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turtlespeed 212 #12 April 16, 2004 I'm thinking . . . like a celophane wrap on the toilet . . .kinda thing? I can see this one in the office here getting better everyday. There is a guy that comes in Moinday and Friday. There are some stonew samples that "Just ended" up on my desk. I knew where they came from so i put them back - He wrapped them in paper and a Bow and left them on my desk - so I "hid" them under his key board. I cam einto work and there was an over night envelope on my chair and there they were. So I just mailed them to him - Return Reciept.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #14 April 16, 2004 You know, there is so very much that can be done with cars... Maybe I'll have to recon a Taurus station wagon to see what can be done... Well, here's one that can be done to just about any car. Find the fuel line fromt he gas tank to the engine. Don't cut it. Just put a small crimp in it. Engine performance will suffer, but the car won't be disabled. That's a minor little thing (but could cost big bucks, so be careful) My wife is hotter than your wife.

DeNReN 0 #16 April 16, 2004 Visit your local garage and pick up a supply of wheel weights....put about 3 oz on the inside of each wheel....next day ..remove them...next day put the same on the rear wheels...next day...the front wheels...another day without...get the idea? DO NOT crimp fuel lines etc...engine damage could result or even worst a leak and a fire... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brains 2 #17 April 16, 2004 I'm not sure if that car is front wheel drive or not. If not, get a large cable tie (i have some that are 36") and strap it around the drive shaft. It makes a hell of a lot of noise and is funny as hell to watch someone stop, get out and start looking under their vehicle Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

lawrocket 3 #18 April 16, 2004 QuoteDO NOT crimp fuel lines etc...engine damage could result or even worst a leak and a fire... Yeah, I guess you are right. Another thng you may want to try is this - if he leaves his windows cracked on a hot day, feed a cable through the slits in the windows (typically on the front of the vehicle. Padlock the cable together on the roof of the car. Now he cannot get the driver's door open. Play innocent when he wonders who did it. My wife is hotter than your wife.

swilson 0 #19 April 16, 2004 Does he have a locker? Run a bead of silicone around the edge of the door, make it look like a weld (regular ripples, etc), and spray paint it so he can't tell it's silicone. Guys tend to freak out when they think their locker's been welded shut. Does he have a favorite coffee cup? JB Weld it to a table (preferably a heavy steel one). With coffee in it. You know those cards you get in the mail to register for correspondence diploma courses? Sign him up for a dressmaking or wedding planner course. And have the return address be the work address. This is one of those gifts that just keps on giving - they'll be sending him stuff for months. If you really want to get nasty, get a subscription in his name to the worst porn magazines you can find and have it sent to the work address. The only thing there is you have to be careful how it's paid for. It's pretty easy to backtrace a credit card number. If you feel really spiteful, find out one of his phobias and use it to your advantage. For example, at one of the places I worked as an apprentice, one of the guys was a total asshole toward pretty much everyone, me included. I found out that he was deathly afraid of mice, and planted a couple of them in his toolbox just before he got there one morning. I made sure beforehand that everyone in the shop knew what was going to transpire that morning, and also made sure I was in another part of the shop when he came in. Well, he comes in, opens his toolbox, and the most god-awful screaming started. You would have thought he was being attacked with an axe or something. It was pretty funny. This macho tough guy with an attitude turned into a screaming little girl and wouldn't go near hos toolbox until someone removed the mice. He never found out it was me, and the best part is we became really good friends shortly thereafter. I could go on and on. A word of warning - either don't tell ANYONE you're doing these things, or make sure EVERYONE's in on it. If no one knows, no one can squeal, but if everyone knows and thinks he deserves it, you're usually pretty safe too. Use your imagination and don't get caught!!!!

DeNReN 0 #20 April 16, 2004 Another good one that will work on some cars....and can be done from underneath...wire the signal light to the horn ....or a oil pressure switch etc... again..changing things up over the course of several days works best...gota keep em guessing Some windshield washer nozzels are adjustable with a pin/needle...adust them to spray so they dont hit the windshield.

souleh 0 #21 April 16, 2004 Does he leave his keys on his desk? Find near-identical ones.. swap them over on the keyring. He'll go mad trying to work out why his keys don't work.. then quietly swap them back.. 'buttplugs? where?' - geno Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aviatrr 0 #22 April 16, 2004 Dead fish...tied to a portion of the exhaust manifold/system right under or in front of the passenger compartment. Find some gay and lesbian magazine and order a subscription in his name.....probably best to send it to his home, but work may be funny if you won't get in trouble for it.. Take the valve stem out of one, or all 4, tires.. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #23 April 16, 2004 depending how friendly you are with him..you can move his car.
