tricks played on apprentices

[philly169]

We've done many with work experience lads in our office...

The best one we did was edit an online shop webpage and change the title of items so there was a reach around (a long RJ45 cable) and a happy ending (rj45 coupler)

Sent him to the IT Co ordinator lady who orders the stock and she couldn't stop laughing.

Some of these are hilarious.........not!

There are Jokes and there is humour, some of these are just blatant bullying and intimidation!

There's always a do gooder about.

I bet you are a right laugh on a night out. Times have changed but you have to have some humour at work

Sorry Glyn, but pinning someone down and giving them bad enough electric shocks to make them yelp is not humour.

P.S. I am not fun whatsoever on a night out.

Yes agree that is a step too far! Sending someone to the stores for a long weight is a touch different as no one gets hurt.

Another one, was to get the apprentice to ask if there was a Dick Puller was about.

You've lived a sheltered life my friend. The things we've done to lads at football would probably put you into an early grave. I guess that makes me a bad person.

Yes it is , the electric shock that's applied for milliseconds and is the same as the static shock you get if your wearing nylon clothing and touch something metal , will cause you no harm unless you've a heart condition. Then we use it again to restart your heart, don't be a woos.

I used to work on the ship yards and we would send the lads after a spur-lash

They usually got sent for a long walk round the boat asking various people for a splash

A auld fella I used to work with, told a story of how they used to hook up a van de graff generator to the metal grate round the back of the warehouse where a few blokes would go to pee, sharp stopped them from peeing there.

Same fella told another of how one of the skilled techs when demostrating a robotic arm to various execs would stand at the controls making the arm do all kinds of things, while he had his wedding tackle hanging out the front of his overalls. The execs were so enthrawled with the demo, they never noticed him.

I suppose you explained under health and safety rules that the shock would only be like a static shock, so the poor chap didn't think he was going to be fried.

If someone did that to me I would punch their lights out, but just as a trick of course.

 

[Andy808]

Are you sure ? Seems like he spent a day on full pay doing nothing.

He probably did more on the days we did that to him than any other day.

And he might be your boss someday.

I doubt it as he's a drop out druggie now!

You old boys are always on the make.

We have to boost our pensions.:thup:

 

[Pin-seeker]

Not a trick on apprentice but we once had a work experience lad that didn't want to sit on an upside down bucket like the rest of us whilst eating our snap,he decided the big pile of rock wool looked comfier. Any one that's insulated their lofts will know how irritating that stuff is.

Whilst at college learning morse code - yes I am that old - one of the guys was struggling to cope with the speed, 20 words a minute. We told him that if he put a knot in the lead to his head phones it slowed the elektrickery down so that he could have time to decipher it. Anyway, by the time he'd knotted most of the lead, and his chin was on the desk, he twigged that it was a total waste of time.

No children or animals were injured during this jolly jape...
