When I first brought my Taurus wagon north to Norfolk, there was a chief that strongly disagreed with me about the cars....
He had the sedan version, and even though he was an electronics tech by trade and could easily have fixed his own cars - he went the yuppie road, and divorced himself from real work. Consequently he was always complaining about his car.
So whenever I had pizza for lunch and extra pieces of crust, or had some extra french fries, I scattered them around his car. Knowing very well that the seagulls would congregate around it with inevitable results.....
we had a guy where i used to work in a welding shop that would always do something to ya like dump baby oil in your tool box while you're not looking and when you went to grab a wrench or something it was all oily so one day one of my co-workers and I have had enogh of this and the co-worker of mine welded the guys lunch box to his work bench
it was funny when he grabbed his lunch box and all he had in his hand was the lid. and when he went to lunch i took his welding helmet and spray painted the back of the welding lens with black spray paint it took him about 2 minutes to figure out what was up with his lens when he tried to weld. he never messed with anyone after that for some reason
try putting some bearing grease in the headband of his welding helmet or inside of his welding gloves. we put the grease on a helmet that out welding teacher in vo-tech put on! lol, that was a "bad plan".
I knew someone who was getting bugged to race his Grand National against an F-body 5.0 stang on the street once, and the night he finally agreed he also brought in some Armor All and liberally soaked the 'stangs rear tire treads with it.
-I don't think "Big Joe" Johansen ever figured that one out...
Two things I'm not proud of, I was younger and more impulsive... but I still think these folks got what they deserved.
1) A guy parked blocking me in at college during finals. It was the same jerk that parked illegally in the deck all the time, he'd park against the concrete wall or in a hashed space making it VERY difficult to jocky out of your space. Late one day I'd finished a final exam and was heading home... there he was. After I spend 30 minutes trying to get out the guy next to me showed up and left. I drove out of the deck and happened to look down, there was a can of black spray paint in the floor board. I went back... and painted his headlights black. :-)
2) At the movie theatre I was in the big truck. We parked around the building away from everyone and walked. There are no marked parking spaces and I thought I was being nice not jamming this big ole truck next to someone. After the movie I found a red mini-van parked behind us. Building in front, mini-van behind. I was not happy. I tried to get out, but couldn't. I waited half an hour, I talked to the management and they wouldn't page anyone. Then, I inspected my rear trailer hitch... and got back in the truck... in a moment I'm not proud of... I backed into the thing and pushed it back, over the curb and into the trees. My hitch destroyed the radiator. I expected police to contact me at some point, but they never did. I figure the jerk didn't think to get my tag number before going in. I don't know what he/she was thinking when he blocked me in intentionally... but I have a good idea of what he/she was thinking when he found his/her van in the trees.
I can relate to ya Harry
My main hatered is for people that park in a disabled spot and aren't disabled I am disabled and people think i am not but I tore my spinal cord and can walk but not for very long before i am needing something to help me make it to the truck so what i have been known to do is park my lifted F150 right behind those people even if they are in the car and walk away and leave my truck there until an officer comes up and gives them a ticket. I had a kid onetime in a lowered Honda threaten to hit my truck if I don't move it I asked him just how much damage do you think you are going to do to my truck with that little thing??
I hate when someone uses 2 parking places to keep both sides of their precious auto clear from other's. A few years ago, there was a lady that used to park her Jag that way all the time. There weren't that many parking spots in the garage anyway. During tax season, when I knew I'd be working late, I decided to squeeze my car in right next to hers every chance I got. This meant that if she had any plan of leaving, she would have to crawl in from the passanger side. For some reason, after about a week of this, she stopped hogging "2" spots.
When I worked at Dow Chemical we used to fill each others desk with styrofoam peanuts, haha funny, but mundane. But one day we dipped 5 cans of shaving cream into a canter of liquid nitrogen for a minute each. Then peeled off the can and were left with a lump of VERY cold frozen shaving cream. We put all five into a friends P.O.S. LeMans (he never cared) and left it to the sun all afternoon. When we left work the WHOLE car was full of shaving cream. It went into the vents, seats and even started seeping out of the door cracks! He loved it, his car smelled good for months...
There was a Japanese guy where I worked, he was a "retentive" type A personality. As such, one of his big deals, though I know not why, was bragging about how he got 30 miles to the gallon in his Nissan or whatever it was but tuning the engine himself. He had it all hooked up to this laptop and crap. So... we latched upon an idea and bought 5 gallons of gas. Over the next month we kept sneaking out and adding gas to his tank, first a gallon, then two, the last week we all pitched in and he got 150 miles to the gallon. It was #$%$^ hilarous, but even more fun when we started taking our gas back :-)
He went from 150 MPG to about 3MPG LOL, we'd roll around laughing our butts off at this guy, to this day I don't think he ever figured it out.
