    turn off the gas tap on the mig welder while your buddy is laying beads,

    put grease nipples in the back of that guy who never shares his tools, toolbox and fill her up

    about ten years ago my mates uncle made a huge acetylene bomb with a big industrial sack, then let it off at lunch time, the factory where he works was in the middle of town, so 5 min later 2 fire engines, countless police and a few ambulance turn up, saying there were reports a bomb went off...? he had alot of explaining to do

    nahh wouldnt be a good idea. things were alot less stringent then. he just got a slap on the wrist, and told not to do it again or he'd be charged for disturbing the peace

    fire crackers in the grinder.

    forklift co-workers tools onto the ceiling and tie them there. them give clues like, "im sure theyll TURN UP"

    chaulk the wheels of thier car

    vise grip pliers on the front brake lines while braked (requires acomplice)

    pinhole just below the top of a soda can

    spray chem-tool while they are welding

    switch tig welder from "pedal" to "panel" control, and set to 300amps when they are welding something thin. watch the major arc! (and the new gap in the part!)

    hot sauce in their drink (ALOT!)

    offer a co-worker a free tool, and say "do you want this, i have two of them" knowing well it belongs to someone else. when the owner of that tool is looking for it (pissed, or course) rat out the other guy by saying "i thought i saw whats-his-face with it".

    5-gallon bucket of water from the roof. requires an acomplice to lure the victim to the door.

    semi-frozen water ballons in a water fight.

    could go on for a while.

    working at Jimco can be a blast (literally!)

    I certainly get a kick out of annoying the Ricard Craniums on rdc. And all from a comfy chair! Funny how upset True Believers and such get when I upset their psychological apple carts.

    Re: Old timer pranks / shop jokes

    There were so many.. And I am sure they have all been covered in here... but the thread is too long..

    - Anti sieze on the ear piece of the shop phone

    - air fitting in the lid of a coolant bottle or a smaller bottle worked better.. long air hose extension with the bottle placed in a fender well or somewhere under a car.. plug in the air when your grumpy old co worker is working and watch him jump...

    - mechanics disposable gloves on the exhaust pipe with a zip tie so it blows up and they think something is wrong

    - zip ties on the drive shaft

    - removing a drive shaft if your employee lot is in the back and has room to work..

    - installed an alarm siren under my service managers rear bumper and wired the power side to the reverse light power wire.. he didn't know it was there until he backed up on his street at 4 the next morning and woke all the neighbors.. he was cool about it and drove around the shop parking lot in reverse for a few minutes making us put up with the annoying noise.

    - the old dildo in the top drawer of another techs tool box was pretty funny.. but no way in hell was I going to go buy one and do it at another shop....

    So many more that I cannot remember right now.. but our shops were always full of pranksters...

    Haha..... if that ever happened to me, the washer would end up in the junk drawer in my toolbox withut me even worrying for a second that i left it off of something.. not because I was confident, but because if it ran, everything was tight, and there were no odd noises or bolts that looked like they needed a washer, or anything I thought was abnormal, I would not care.
