My son and his girlfriend were watching some horror film in his room and I could hear the gasps as the scary bits came. So I put some raggy old overalls on and got a knife and my other son's halloween mask and burst into his room. I can still hear the screams echoing

What makes you think they waited till I left the room before they called me what I deserved to be called mate?

We were on site once and the painter asked the young in to go to the stores for tartan paint once.. Or a bubble for a spirit level..
Sent an apprentice to the stores once for a short stand, storeman said they didn't have any but they had long stands would that do. Apprentice came back to ask so i said yes that should do, he went back to the stores and said it would. 3 hours later he was still waiting kept asking the storeman where it was to which he replied it was still comimg.

Asked one of my apprentices to ask the storeman for some PEN,15 hardening spray. At first I thaught he'd clocked on to what I said, nope he diddn't even notice after writing it out on a chit.
He was swiftly dismissed by the storeman.

Back in the days when you didn't need a computer to open the bonnet, we would connect the car horn to the brake light switch.

used to work for a company who had 3 lazy apprentices who couldn't be arsed to learn how to drive as in their words "well we would have drive if we learnt", sleeping all the way on long distance journeys and such like.
One day had 2 of them in the van fast asleep, late at night, nothing else on the road, travelling at quite a high speed, approaching a roundabout with rumble strips on the approach to it, hit the brakes very hard and shouted "holy $^$^&%^* crap". Both jumped up like a shot wondering whats happening only to see me laughing my head off. Strangely enough they didn't get back to sleep after that.

One of our apprentices has a severe condition of OCD. He likes all his tools in the right order and facing the right way inside his toolbox. And god forbid if someone borrows one of his screw drivers and uses it as a chisel So using his OCD as a weapon, we all take great pride in winding him up.
Not so long ago, we were working at a school when I borrowed his toolbox, took it outside onto the car park. Emptied all the tools out. Fired half a dozen 5.5mm holes through it with the SDS battery drill and then screwed and rawl-plugged it to the tarmac. Then chucked all his tools back in and silicon sealed the underside of the handles. It wasn’t long before he was looking for his toolbox and the false ceiling fitters being born snitches told him where it was. First he emptied the tools out of the box and then put them back into their correct order. When he tried to pick up the box his hands got covered in silicon but it was absolutely hysterical watching him try and lift the box. No matter how much effort he put into it, he couldn’t do it. It took him ages to figure it out what was wrong.

Sorry I hate to see a persons tools of their trade get messed with, even in this manner. It is not something to be laughed at any level. This is a person livelihood you are messing with and I am sorry just can't justify making any sort of joke at the expense of that.
i know someone who welded a lads toolbox to the steel floor of the cabin, when he went to pick it up, obviously not realising it was stuck to the floor, he damaged his back trying to lift it and was off work for ages...and someone got the sack.

our best was on our boss he left his boots in the office and went to lunch
we coated his boots with glue, pink and purple glitter and glued some pom-poms on them,
at the same time someone left a large dildo in his window.
he found the boots immediately but it was 3 weeks before he found the other present
he walks by that window about 10 times a day

The one I remember that wasn't a practical joke was when I started senior school,well you had to write with a fountain pen and my writing looked like a spider had done it anyway we got this new teacher and he was watching me with my spidery writing and told me to go to the big stationers in town and ask for a left handed fountain pen.Well I thought it was a wind up so decided to play along and went,asked the chap in the shop for the left handed pen and lo and behold out one came,he asked who had sent me and when I told him the teachers name knew him.Turned out the knib on a fountain pen is cut at an angle and on a left hander it's cut the other way.My writing is still awful but at least it's not spidery.

On a site a few years back there was a joiner who got on everybodies nerves including the joiners, he could play the practical jokes but not take them. They used to take their boots off in their cabin and leave them overnight so one of their labourers took a dump in his riggers, only problem was he picked the wrong riggers to dump in. There was hell on.
