messing with your friends

I dunno if you made that name up, but when I was in, there was a guy in my Regiment that was dumb as door nails with the same name.

Real name. That particular bit of fun would've been Roosey Roads, summerish '93. SeaBees. We had a bunch of real IQ lottery winners. Of note, we had an EO (Equipment Operator) who was only licensed to operate a 4k forklift and a 15 px. van (E150 style). I think he may have gotten a 2 1/2 license eventually. He did a lot of office work.
 
While doing inventory at work I found a car alarm that had been on the shelf for years. I wired the siren and the shock sensor up with a pair of 9v batteries and zip tied them under a coworkers truck. I made sure I put them way up under the crossmember so he wouldn't be easy to find.
Everytime he'd hit a bump, the siren would go off for about 3 seconds. Since this perticular siren sounded a lot like a cop's siren, it really confused the hell out of him. By the time he got home, he had relized somebody was screwing with him, but said it was too cold to find the alarm that night. He forgot about it the next morning and had to take his kid to school (high school). His kid made him drop him off blocks away because the siren wouldn't stop going off! :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

Another good one... a computer prank I played on my boss at work.
Open internet browser and search google for "penis enlargements".
Resize browser so you can see some of the desktop.
Take a screenshot (Print Screen)
Set screenshot as wallpaper.
Close all open windows.
Hide icons (desktop context menu -> arrange icons -> <uncheck> show icons)
Hide taskbar.

He couldn't figure out how to fix it and had to call the IT lady to come down and look at it (who couldn't fix it either!) :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

That's fawkin' funny. We weren't trying to get the noobs killed tho. (Prick E-9 for those who don't get it.)
Sent a guy out for a Sky Hook in Gitmo. Well, some guys down at the shipyard took a busted ship loading crane hook and stenciled "Sky Hook" on the side. Almost destroyed that poor little one-ton utility truck!

Ha! That brought back memories. We used to do all sorts of things like this before the gov tightened computer security.

We worked in cubicles and it was easy to plug your keyboard into the computer belonging to the person sitting across from you. Imagine the fun you can have with that one!

We also set macros in Word so that when you typed a certain word, it automatically replaced it with another word. For example, We might relace "Smith" with "'Doctor Love' Smith" so that when MSgt Smith typed his name on a document it can up as MSgt John 'Doctor Love' Smith. We did all sorts of changes to a couple of guys. Most of them never caught the changes until their official documents left the office. Ha, we nearly peed ourselves!

We also did the typically military stuff...go over to ops and ask for the keys to the jets so we can preflight them, go ask supply for 20 yards of flightline, etc.
 
Had a co-worker at McDonnell Douglas who was always pulling pranks. One day I took about a foot of 10ga. wire and wrapped one end through his front u-joint on the rear driveline. Just so happened we had a huge rainstorm that afternoon. He'd drive and get the SLAP, SLAP as it hit the floorboard. Got all wet and muddy in his nice clothes looking for the problem. Took him a couple miles to figure it out...:flamemad:

We had a couple of "usual" tricks we would play on the new guys in the hangar. We'd ask guys to get a bucket of prop wash, few yards of flight line, etc.

But the best one by far that I heard about was the guy who was told to find the key to the hangar basement.
 
A good friend of mine left town, I have a key, so of course we had to do somthing. We filled his house with balloons.




I dont have any pics if it done, but they were about 6ft deep. The front door opened in so you couldnt get in with out haveing to pop a bunch. we spent $60 on over 1000.

He didnt learn his lesson and took another vacation later, this time we painted his roll cage pink.

 
Ive had new guys come into the tool room and ask me for stuff like "bolt stretchers", "exhaust sample kits", and my personal favorite was being asked for "a hand full of reach around".
 
i put a sardine can in behind the vents for the a/c in my brothers camaro. everytime he turned on the vents or the a/c it smelled like dead fish. after a few weeks i had to tell him because no one woulde in his car. he would just keep using air fresheners to cover it up,.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH oh man thats good.

Hey dont forget about "Chem light batteries"
Or even better and not limited to any one branch "Keys to the Humvee"
Well that one worked until a motor pool chief decided to actually use the cable locks. damnit.
At my last unit when in the USCG, efore they really cracked down on secutity, when someone left thier workstation unlocked, they got David Hasselhoff on the desktop. Then same as mentioned before, print screen, paste, save, set as background with icons and all. Then hide desktop so the icons look real.... man that got other IT guys!!! they couldnt figgure it out sometimes. A lot of people got "The Hoff" my last few months there. And it was whatever the first picture that came up on Google image search was too. Sometimes it was him in a bathing suit and im not talkin baywatch.
Funny stuff.

Those are good:laugh3:
 
back in july when I went on vacation I came back to my whole office being packed up in a box and a note to see the GM of the company. So I freaked out and called my VP little did I know he was in on it too. He proceeds to tell me all kinds of stupid crap that I had no idea about and tells me I need to go see my GM asap. Please keep in mind not to toot my own horn but I am the top salesman on any given week so all this was a shock. Now I go see the GM and he leads me on for about 2 to 3 minutes and just starts dying of laughter.

Well as you should be able to tell I am still here and it was the worst 10 to 15 minutes I have had in a long time but man I laughed my ass of afterwards

We used to send guys on wild goose chases for stupid stuff. They'd end up wasting an entire day looking for something that doesn't exist(lumber stretcher, drywall tubing, etc.). If someone came into your shop looking, you'd just refer them along to someone else. I remember one kid got all the way to S4, the battallion supply officer, looking all over Okinawa for 20' of falopian tube. Same kid went to Medical to protest that he didn't need another pap smear because he had had one in homeport.

"Dietz, go to Alfa Co. and get a box of A.I.R. brake fluid and a CM punch for the Deuce and a half." Two hours later Dietz shows up rubbing his arm and looking pissed. "You guys are a__holes."
1) The truck has air brakes.
2) A CM is a Construction Mechanic, they punch hard.
