Long zip ties on driveshafts is pretty funny. They usually jump out of the car pretty quick wondering what the noise is.

I also used the shop crane to put someones tool cart in the back of a garbage truck.

Turning off the shop air hoses continuously makes people pretty upset also.

Working in shops lends itself to many small annoying pranks.
 
I took my bosses center cap off his wheel and put some pennies in it. It makes an awesome rattling noise when they try and drive off.
 
At my old tint shop we had a plotter for cutting vinyl stickers and tint patters. One of the guys up front had a purple Silverado with a gray tweed int. (looked seriously ###) so I made a sticker for his bumper that said "I make ### home movies". He drove around for 3 days before noticing it. He said car loads of girls would drive by laughing and sometimes he would get the random guy honking and waving.

We also used to wait untill someone went into the bathroom and shoot a bottle rocket under the door, or take a lit cig. and break the end off placing it on the fuse of a black cat (or any other firecracker) and place it in someones work bay. 4 or 5 minutes later "BOOM".
 
I drive a roll back tow truck and my co-workers have told me some stories. I work 5pm to midnight or so and a couple months ago I pulled up to the shop to call it a night. It was after midnight and it had been a long night. I go to get in to my 1g, which i drive to work once in a while, and it wasn't were i parked it. My friend that i work with picked up the front of the car and wheel lifted it in to the next parking lot. I almost didn't find it and was considering calling the cops. I talked to him the next day and when he told me he just wheel lifted it and slowly towed it "E-brake was off" i told him it is AWD with viscous lsd :nono: Luckily i haven't had any issues.

I thought i would let it drop, but i worked late on Friday night. I was working Saturday morning, so i kept the tow truck at home and my pick up at the shop. Well once again, he relocated my vehicle. He put it in a parking space near the entrance of the auto park knowing i would see it when i came to get it. The truck was barely in the lines of the spot and the one tire was up on the curb. Well he got a good laugh when i told him that i didn't even come to get my truck that night, AND when i went in to work in the morning, I drove right past it w/o seeing it. I didn't notice my truck was moved or where it was up on that curb until i went to go on my first call.

So I've been thinking of a way to get him back with out escalating things to the level of some of the above. I can get in to his truck and play with some things but not looking for him to get out of hand with retaliation. I owed him 2 at this point so, he keeps his pick up at the shop most nights, so one day in the evening i winched his truck up on to the bed of one of the tow trucks and parked it. Another annoyed co-worker proceeded to put every chain and strap on and around his truck to make it a big PITA. Well i forgot the guy that drives that tow truck that night was working, so when he came to get his tow truck for his shift, he called my buddy and asked why his truck was on the tow truck, and the cat was out of the bag before he even saw it.

Recently he did the jack stand thing mentioned above, but managed to do so with a wood block. There was ice and snow on the ground. I went to leave work and the tire was barely touching the ground. I gave it more gas and it was doing a nice burn out. I assumed i was on ice so i backed up on to the curb and goosed it (off the wood block under my rear diff). I didn't know it was under there till the mechanic in the garage door was laughing hard so when i stooped he told me. So now I'm 0 for 3 and i need to fire back. But i don't want to do anything worse that he did, just a minor inconvenience to make him say W T F?
Ideas are welcome. By the way i'm friends with his girlfriend and know his mom as well. Maybe something like break in to his truck and remove his drivers seat and put a milk crate in it's place?

Yeah, take the driveshaft off if you can and put a boot on the truck as well.
 
We got my buddy good one time.

He was having a huge field party at his parent's house, complete with an enormous bonfire. He had planned on going fishing the next morning, so he had his small fishing boat hooked up behind his work van.

At some point during the night, he went inside the house for a good while. We jumped into the van, pulled the van over by the fencing that went around their entire property, and unhooked the trailer. I drove the van around the other side of the fence, and a bunch of guys muscled the tongue of the boat trailer through the fence where we conveniently hooked it back up to the van.

You should've seen the look on his face the next morning when he came out to go fishing. I wish I had a camera!

I wish there was a way you could force hide the taskbar as that usually is the thing that ends up giving it away.

Ctrl+Alt+Delete then click Processes, find and click on Explorer.exe, Click End Process. Now the background looks like your normal functioning desktop without the taskbar.:thumb:
 
Saran wrap the toilet. under the seat, over the bowl.
make sure theres no wrinkles or is visible:D

or you could always butter or grease it.

you can put small rocks in the air cap and screw it back on it lets the air out slowly and plastic wrap the truck or right before he leaves put super glue under the door handle haha or put stink bombs in the car LOL
 
This one is a little mean, but coat the inside edge of both wiper blades with a heavy coat of thick, dark-colored grease. When the victim turns on their wiper blades in the rain, the grease is conveniently spread across the entire windshield. It's also very difficult to remove once wet.

#### THAT. My friend did that to me and i couldn't see crap when it started raining. it sucked bad.
 
One of my very favorites is the ol' coil trick. What you do is disable the car from starting. Could be pull the map sensor, or unplug crank signal, pull fuel fuse, etc. Then run a wire from the coil through the firewall and under the driver seat in such a way that you cannot see it. Sometimes this is easier than others.... Then take the end of the wire under the seat and pull it through the crease in the back, and spread the wires on the top of the seat. They get in, don't see what is up, and try to start the car. They only get a little shock....unless they get stuck cranking.....LOLOL

I never did this to any of the ladies, but man....one of the best car pranks ever.
 
(If he lives with his mom)
Convince his mom to let you come over really early in the morning and come in her room, strip down to just your boxers and make some loud noise. Once you're sure he's awake walk out of her room looking tired and scratch yourself up a bit goto his fridge and get something to drink, comment on how fun of a night you had. (Bonus points if you can get her to comment as well) Did this one to a friend, he broke down crying and didn't talk to me for almost a week because he thought something really happened.

If you own/work at a tow company have you considered just going to his house one night hooking up and towing his truck, then leaving a bike in it's place for him to ride to work the next day? Tho you'd want to clear that with the boss man just in case he cannot have him being late :p

Removing the seat would be quite funny... I'd do that if I were you.


Good luck,
John
 
Screenshot the desktop, use the jpg as the background, hide EVERYTHING else. Hilarious. ;)

That is my favorite trick. I'll create a folder on their desktop that says '### Porn' or something embarassing, take a screen shot, then set it as the desktop and watch the fun begin. Everyone I have done that to as always called IT for support.

I also changed IE scripts to change a commonly accessed webside to a website of my choosing, but recently that is caught by the virus software.
 
That one goes good with changing the mouse to left hand mode. We do that at work, along with the screen shot, and put something like this on the background:

That reminded me of a story I read on Craigslist. It was exactly what you posted to. It happened a few months ago or so at a Wal-Mart. Someone put the plastic wrap over top of the sit down cover.

The story went along the lines of the man who went into the restroom had an upset stomach. He really had to go and blamed it on some food from earlier (insert chinese or mexican). It just started to hit him very very bad and rushed into the unlocked stall. Without looking at the seat for anything, he dropped his drawers. From the way it seemed, he started to squirt as he was sitting. Needless to say, there was a very big mess all over. Legs were covered, pants were stained and soaked; the floor was a mess.

I don't know what he did afterwards as most bathrooms at Wal-mart are in the middle of the front wall. Walking past all of those people and cameras with newly colored pants with a scent something foul.

He gets home and goes and writes on CL to the person that wraped it up and told him exactly how it all happened and hoped that something like that happened to him as well. I was rolling after reading that and I wish I could find that post as well.

Just hope you always have a change of clothes if you don't watch where you sit :toobad:

Is that David Hasselhoff? ROFL
 
Sure is! We got one of the supervisors over here with it once:

Scott, are you able to see that photo that you questioned if it was Hasselhoff? I just see an "Account Inactive" icon.

Yes, I can view the orginal and my quoted picture on my computer. It's the same picture on the dual moniter. BTW that's friggin funny ROFL
 
I swiped it from a photobucket account to show it initially, but I think PB shut the link to the pic down shortly after I posted it. I am glad that the quote got it though! Should I delete it from my original post?

And thanks Liquid! I might have to post some more from work tomorrow....that was one of the lighter pranks...LOL
