Workplace pranks

I worked in a machine shop that rebuilt saltwater valves for ships. When we would re cut the valve seats we had to check them by applying Prussian Blue on the valve seat to ensure proper sealing. Prussian Blue is basically inked grease and is heck to get off of your skin.

We would put little dabs of it on the bottom of the hand rails that enclosed our shop. Well everbody used that hand rail and I seen people have that blue grease around their zippers, hair, safety glasses, neck ties, ears , nose, face and so on. I still laugh about that.

When I worked in our mold and die shop, we would put Prussian Blue around the rim of our boss's eye loop.




Years ago I went down to the shop on a Sunday. I picked the locks on everyone's tool boxes and switched the locks. You should have seen all the guys when their keys wouldn't work. I actually got in trouble for that one.

I may or may not have participated in shrink wrapping a coworker to a dolly and wheeling him out the front entrance of a RV dealership I worked at back in high school. We thought it was hilarious, our boss and the poor guy we did it to, not so much.

We put a sign by the time clock that said it is now voice activated. People were standing in front if it saying their name and employee number.

I wondered how many people would know what Prussian Blue was, your old dude.

We used it more for pranks than for our work.
