I do aerospace stealthy bomby development shit. We do a lot of .002 max edges so I deburr and inspect my areas parts. The old fucks on the mills think it’s funny when I’m away from my inspection bench they move my microscope setting and chair height and fuck all my shit up.

They’ll do every a few times a week and then stop for a month. I haven’t even remotely hinted that I know they’re doing it. Figured they’ll loose the fun in it. The Lathe dudes came over and told me exactly who it is.

I need to fuck with these dudes back lol. I got a tub of neverseize at the ready.

Come to me great ones of wisdom with retaliation methods.

Pretty sure marking fluid gets everywhere...

So does printer toner

Personally though I'd consider setting one of them on fire, because shit like that just annoys the fuck out of me and if you don't nip it in the bud, it'll get out of hand.

Having fun with coworkers and hijinks can be fun and helps build comraderie but messing with IMTE is a quality risk. Sure, hide my icons, but mess with my measurement settings and I'll be pissed.

You do what you want.
I have been around this type of work shenanigans.
It is usually harmless and runs its course quickly.

I have also watched two colleagues get fired for pranking one another.
One was the lead instigator and the other was the initial victim who retaliated.
The retaliation screwed up an expensive work order and then management got involved because the screw up couldn't be fixed without having to report it.
Both parties tried to fix the screw up before it got reported.

You do what you want but understand any possible consequences.

I was messed with as an apprentice. The usual grease on my handles,  etc.

It was a small shop, so easy to talk to most at one shot.

"OK. I'm the FNG. I get it. You've had your fun and I've taken it fine. I'm politely asking yall to knick it off. You won't like how I play".

It didn't stop.

An electronically fired "firecracker" was staged. The asshole went ballistic. Luckily the other guys told him he asked for it and was even warned.

You could take a different course only skipping the IED. Probably wouldn't fly as well today.

Go to the supervisor or owner. "If you cant rein in your monkeys, I can go somewhere else. They are costing you money".

Years ago a coworker and I got into a prank war that escalated. I ended it by sneaking his work car keys off of his desk. I got a big ass to go cup and scooped the entire top off of an ant hill and putting it under his work car seat. He started fighting the ants pretty much immediately but I kept feeding them with old banana peals, apple cores and shit like that for a couple of months. The ants ended colonizing both front seats. They’d attack him with fury as soon as he sat down. They had even built a nest around his gas cap at one point. He set off three bug bombs in his car to no avail. He finally gave his home exterminator a 20 to treat his car and they finally died off.

Problem was, sometimes I would ride with him to lunch or to another office. Those ants would attack anyone that sat down in the front seats.

Craigslist took down all the sexy ad categories.  I have created ads before listing a barn that needs cleaned out.  Pool tables, pinball machines, tools.  Too much to list.  All free.  First come, first serve.  Bring a truck!

Dildo glued to truck is good. Stealthily put also me sort of rainbow sticker or honk for ghey pride sign on their truck, pro democrat shit.

I have also wondered in the past how to set some fucker up with a rubber with some hand lotion in it, strategically placed where a guys wife would find it.

I guess the degree if sinisterness would be in proportion to the person targeted/your hate for them....

This. I always tell folks, I don’t get even, I win.

Had a younger guy a few years back, splash water on me a bunch of times through our work day. He laughed and laughed, called me this and that. Said I was a pussy for doing nothing, I just smiled and kept working.

I waited till the end our day and in the break room he was sitting at same table as me, still taking shit. I took my 40oz water bottle and completely covered his whole lap and chest. He sat there in shock for a couple seconds then got up and started yelling he was HOT.

Our Sup ( who watched everything happen that day) came in and told him to STFU and go home, told him that he started and I had finished it.  Him and I went back and forth a few times before he left. Some people can dish it but can’t take it.

Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women.

I do not approve of practical jokes in the workplace. I am there to work, not play childish games. Engage in Tomfoolery in my shop and you are counseled once, then fired.  Fucking with the gear that checks quality in an aviation machine shop no less, a place of expensive tools and products and you might not get the counseling step.

If you are compelled to respond directly, wait until it is Childish Machinist’s product turn to be QA’d after he messes with your instruments, then reject it, even if okay. And again, and again,  Finally go to him and explain some dickhead messed with your measuring tools and in doing so knocked it out of spec, so that is why the parts were rejected. Go on to state the cost to correct what happened was a few thousand dollars, and the Production Manager was not happy.

If they drive a pickup(you can crawl under it easier), get some large and long zip ties and zip a bunch onto the driveshaft. They'll make a sound, if long enough to hit the underside of floorboard, that's hard to pinpoint and the owner will need some side cutters/sharp knife to get them off.

Sabotaging your workspace is worse than gay sexual harassment.   Ask them nicely.  Once.   To desist.   After that. It’s war.   Pull no punches.

I purchased a roll of the stickiest filament reinforced tape that matched the color of the b pillar trim and then proceeded to tape the doors of the guy's car shut.  

When the pranks didn't stop, I just set a can of Great Stuff on the roof.

You do not present yourself in a manner that would preclude them fucking with you. Nothing personal but there appears to be a lack of respect.

I was a journeyman manual machinist for 12 1/2 years and I have another 12 years as an aerospace inspector.

If I left the QC area and somebody changed precision settings on a height gage or a bore gage or whatever we would have a problem. A big fucking problem.

A customer suicided there once too. Shot himself. I was kinda reeling from seeing a dude die and next thing I know here come my coworkers with a mangled lead bullet with this substance on it.

"we found the bullet"

"look its still warm"

"omg what is that in the hollowpoint?"

One of them took their finger and dipped it in the gooey dark red substance in the hollowpoint and then put it in their mouth. "Omg its good!"

Lmao looking back thats fucking hilarious but boy was that a traumatic experience as a whole for me. They found a range bullet and put bbq sauce on it
