Hey guys, I need some ideas for practical jokes for a couple of jack
at work. I have a good supply of zip ties for driveshafts. But after that i am stuck. Share your personal stories if you have them. Thanks.

 

My buddies dad once shoved a heavily soiled baby diaper up into the heater duct of a guys car. He said he never could figure out what the smell was. Ended up selling the car. Practical jokes can often get carried away after a while and end up getting people hurt.

 

A dead fish in a hubcap works really well After a while it stinks bad and most people won't think to take off the hubcap to check there.
A fish under a top tool box works awesome too.
Instead of zip ties on the driveshaft use stick-on mag wheel weights...they shake really good
We hooked up one of our receptionist's horn to her brake light switch. That was pretty hilarious.
Friction modifier on a rag under a seat stinks bad.
One thing that we havent done in our shop in a while is to take an antifreeze jug, drill a hole in the cap and put in an air fitting. Hook an unplugged airhose up to the fitting then slide it under the car they are working on and plug in the airhose into the fitting on the wall. The jug explodes nicely One of our techs hit his head on the underside of the hood and almost knocked himself out when it happened to him.
It happens lots in our shop that you're using a cutting torch and someone will come along and shut off the oxygen.....really gets quite annoying.
One of our shop runners took a piece of 1 inch flat bar and wrapped it around a tech's toolbox and welded it shut. That was a good one.

2 other words......styrofoam peanuts In toolbox drawers, heater ducts, exhaust pipes etc etc.

 

my personal favorite is to hook up an electric fencer to the car body!


Also works great if you have a dog that likes to do his "duty" on your car wheels.

 

Take a couple of ketchup packs from McDonalds, fold them in half and place them under the toilet seat. When they park their buns on the crapper they will hear a little "POP" and have a big sticky mess.

 

I best gag I ever heard about was at a trucking company and involved revenge against a guy who was always pulling gags.
The mechanic rerouted the windshield washer hose back inside the cab and tied it to the underside of the steering column, pointing it at the crotch area of the drivers seat. He then rewired the washer pump to the brake light circuit so when the brakes were applied, the pump would come on. Since the driver always left about 2:00 AM, it was dark and it took him awhile to figure out why he was getting soaked in a sensitive area with a alcohol based liquid

 

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 16-Dec-02 AT 06:10 AM (EST)]The mag wheel weights are great on driveshafts and wheels, but the surface has to be clean. Try for the golden oldies: shove a potato in the guy's exhaust. Find one that would be a little bigger than the pipe diameter, and jam it in there. Just make sure you aren't parked next to him. Also, summit sells this gas scent stuff, it makes the exhaust smell like bubble gum, or chocolate, or whatever. That might be a good one.

I had a guy do the fish thing to my work truck. But I got him back by putting Limburger cheese on top of his muffler. Once it gets hot and melts through the wax that it comes in that stuff reeks! It was way worse than the fish smell. And he couldn't wash it off. He retaliated by putting a stink bomb in my office. These practical jokes can escalate into a bad thing. We had to stop before some one got fired.

 

I did this to one of my ex bosses. For a few days I would dump a cup of gasoline under the rear of his car. Every day he would smell the "leaking" fuel. After a few days of this the car was dropped off at the dealer so they could find the gas "leak". It sat one time for THREE DAYS while they dropped the tank and did who knows what else. Well they found no leak. Then two days after he got the car back, the "leak" showed back up again. I guess this went on for a couple of weeks until I grew bored and moved onto something else.

 

My grandfather got some little economy car at the same time his neighbor got a VW Beetle, the old one. They decided to see who got the best mileage. So, every night my grandfather would go over to his neighbor's house, and put a gallon of gas in the VW. After a few days, the guy was bragging about getting nearly 100mpg. This went on for a few weeks, then one night my grandfather started taking a gallon of gas out of the VW every night. After about a week, the guy took the car to the dealership. He got laughed out of there, after explaining how his car used to get 100mpg, and now only gets 20! Practical jokes run in my family, and getting somebody to look like a moron in front of a lot of people is fun. I have worked on a car
before that had an unsolveable clunk when accelerating a braking. After driving the car, it sounded like something was in the passenger side door. When I pulled the panel off, there was a large nut in there, I think it was like 3" across. Chrysler came and took it back to the factory, and gave the guy a new car. It turns out they had had some problems with pranksters, and so far had found three or four vehicles like this.
Another great trick is to take all the trim off of the guy's car, including the grill, and leave it all on the front seat.

If you really want to be mean is to put flour in the vents so when he turns on the heater/air it will blow all over the interior. Or you could make a magnet with a messange that you put on the passenger side. Like "I like chevy trucks".

Here is a good one. I work at a resuarant as a cook. We have this really anoying male server. One night he ticked me off to my last nerve. I grabed a role of 18" x 100yard role of clear plasic wrap and proceded to wrap his car. over and under front to back and side to side then all the way around. I had maybe 1/2 to 3/4 inch of the suff on most of the car when i ran out. I wish i could have seen his face when he tried to get in his car at 3am in 20 degree weather .

We did this to the highschool drama teacher. She had a ricer with a sun roof. She never locked the car so we got in let this real skinny kid use duct tape to wrap both inner door handles together so nither door would open from the outside. we used almost an entire role. Then the kid climbed out through the sunroof.

Next time you are the dd and taking your drunk passed out friends home. Find a nice spot on the road make sure there are no cars around and slam on the breaks and start scremin. I had one friend **** himself.

You office types can pop off the keys on the keyboard and rearange them.

Small cars and be picked up and turned between things with a few people. Such as other cars, trees, fense posts,

You can remove toolbox drawrs and rearange them.

steel the wheels of desk chairs.

If you get a role of caution tape or anything like it. Tie one end under the back of someons vehicle and stuff the rest of the role up under the frame somewhere so it will fall out on the drive home.

just some things to think about

 

I did this to a girl who worked with me a while ago.
I called and told her I was with animal control and that I had just caught her dogs running down the road. I described them to her (you need to know them well obviously) and said that because one of them had bitten a person they would all be put down if she didn't come quickly.
She was just about out the door- already punched out before I could stop her. I laughed pretty hard, especially since I had used my real name when I called.
Also she lived alone so she was trying to figure out how the dogs could have opened the door.

Another good one is to have them "catch" you talking to a friend about how the hottest chick at work was asking about them. When your friend walks up, act like you don't want to talk about it and make him force you to tell him that she was asking if he was married. Make him promise not to tell her you told him, then sit back and watch as he puts himself in awkward positions with her.

Also you could take him out for a drink and have a couple of friends play the joke on him. Have a lady friend come and sit next to him at the bar (she ignores him) then have the biggest guy you know come in and accuse her of [link:https://www.ford-trucks.com/guidelines.html|FTE Guideline's] your friend.


As your friend turns to say that he doesn't know what the guy is talking about, have the girl say something like "well you don't own me and he treats me better than you anyway. Stand back and watch the backpeddling begin. Good one because you get to humiliate him in public

 

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 16-Dec-02 AT 05:47 PM (EST)]A great old military gag was to place your head way back and put a nickel on the tip of your nose. As you lower your head, you catch the nickel in a funnel tucked into your belt.

Have a fake contest where you are giving a friend a dollar every time he can do it. Then when the pigeon puts his head back and places the nickel on his nose, pour your coffee in the funnel.

A little too much for you? You're the Prussian blue on the telephone or shift **** type, try this.

First show off the raising arm trick. Stand next to a wall or doorjamb with your arm at your side, press out with the back of your hand for 20 seconds. Then step away and relax and your arm will float up in the air. Then pull your gag.

Requiring some assistants. You explain to a guy (he's in on it) that if he lays down on the floor and you lay a wool military blanket over him, if you rub the edges and rip it off real fast he won't be able to sit up from the waist for the first two seconds. When he tries, cover him with the blanket, rub the edges to create this magic static electrical tractor beam, jerk the blanket off and he can't break the bond of the static electricity (because he is in on it.)

Now it's the dupes turn, he thinks he can do it. Cover him with the blanket, rip it off and he will sit up at the waist very fast because it doesn't hold anything but he's using force to win the dollar. But you have someone standing over him, facing in the same direction, bent over with shorts dropped. When his face hits the butt, everyone else takes pictures or laughs.

I got a million of 'em. Don't tell me I didn't learn anything in 20 years of military.
