What are your best stories? |
| One of the guys left his ID on the bench and left for the weekend. I took it home and encased it in jello, ala "The Office." Monday I told one of our co-workers about it and big mouth started asking ID dude if he likes green jello. ID dude gets to his bench, finds ID, thinks its big mouth who did it and smears big mouths truck with the jello. Big mouth retaliates by deflating ID dudes tires. It goes a few more rounds as I sit back and watch my masterpiece unfold. |
Years ago, there was a group of about 20 people out of about 30 on the shift that bought lottery tickets together. The person that actually picked up the tickets would photocopy them, and pass the sheets out to everyone. Every week after the drawing, the guy who ran the tool crib, who only played his own tickets, would call and get the winning number, check his, then hang the winning number on a board outside the crib for others to see. A coworker and I found one of the sheets, copied one of their numbers, and switched out the number on the board. The result was epic, and is still talked about twenty years later. It lasted about 4 hours, until one of the gazillionaires called and confirmed the numbers because he wanted to hear it for himself. My buddy and I spent the time making sure none of them quit on the spot. I'll never forget the sight of one old guy running through the shop, and leaping into the arms of another.

I printed a very high quality, professional-looking bumper sticker to put on one of my co-worker's trucks. He's a super-uptight, right-wing, fire & brimstone dude...but totally oblivious about things like what might be on the back of his truck. It said "Gay, & Loving It!" in big, bold script. It had a nice background with pink & blue colors, and looked like it was very legit. I planted it right in the middle of the bed. He drove around with that on his truck for months. Finally, he comes in raging that two girls in a gas station told him "good for you, being out and open about it". He asked what they meant and they pointed to his sticker. I still smile when I imagine that moment. Best part was he had no clue who did it and sulked around quasi-threatening everyone, but never did find out it was me. All he knew was everyone in the shop denied it, and told him he had been driving around with it for a long time.
