When ever an old 4" grinder or Drill dies, we take it out ontothe side of the road near the workshop, and drive a nail thru the end of the cable to the ground. then we sit inside the workshop on the beer and watch for people to pull up in cars to pick it up. they grab the grinder and go to walk off with it and it gets yanked out of there hands when the cable becomes tight, all to us yelling out "OI, thats not yours". Funny as! :
One bloke just looked at us and gave it a good yank and effed off with it. Left us all flabberghasted, with nothing to take the p1ss over. It was still a pearler but!!

Yep, there was a dollar coin on the floor, most people had a go.

It's also good for gluing tools down in tool boxes, mugs to benches, piles of service parts to each other, the list goes on.

One of my bosses left his computer logged on, so I got into his Word autocorrect... "On the 5th of August" changed to "On da 5th of August".

I changed about a dozen words, including 'will' to 'will not'


He phoned up tech support, and they were ****in' themselves laughing at his dilemna!

Hey Loxx - thats funny - we do the same thing in our office with sending emails from unlocked computers.

Little plastic bugs work really well too. Under phones and stuff.

More phone tricks - changing peoples voicemail on them. How many times do you listen to your own voicemail?

And put a peice of sticky tape on the connector plug going into the phone handset. We were doing this to one guy one and off for a week or so. He couldnt work it out - sometimes his phone was working - other times it wasnt. The phone still rings and everything, just the handpeice doesnt work. The peice of sticky just breaks the contact enough.

In the end he had lodged a repair/replace ticket with IT - and they came and gave him a new phone! That was funny. We couldnt own up to it either incase we got in trouble for wasting peoples time by playing a prank.

Even to this day he doesnt know........and every now and then for some entertainment we put the tape on his phone again, then take it off when he's at lunch or something. He cant work it out. Cruel eh.

Just happened, the most ironic thing I've ever seen.

Someone pulls out of a smash repair place, and hits another car on the road. The car on the receiving end was an AU.
