Default Apprentice wind-ups

we've got new apprentice in the workshop, hes probably one of the best boys we've had he picks things up quickly and doesn't mess about. the problem is he's getting quite cocky because some of the guys have been telling him just how good he is.

we need to bring him back down to earth with a few wind ups, he's not going to fall for old ones like sending him for a long stand etc.( although he did spend 20 mins walking about looking for a population tool )

what have you done to apprentices?

i used to regulary fill his sandwiches with wood glue and shavings. youd think after the first time he'd check before taking a bite but he never did. we also nailed him star shaped through his sleaves and trouser legs to the hoarding around the shop we were fitting out on a main street next to a bus stop then we undid his trouser button and belt so the more he wriggled the further his trousers fell down.
we also nailed him to a work bench and went home leaving him to be found by the big boss as he was locking up for the night. the boss went mad at him for allowing himself to be nailed down.

Young lad ( Was a knob anyway ) at the merc dealership i used to work at was changing the manifold on his 1.6 206 cossie eater after cracking it. Anyways when he fooked off a few mins we nipped over an stuck a siringe full oh power steering fluid down the ( just asking for it ) downpipe.

20 mins or so later he gets it all done an that an starts its up after about 1 min or so thick white smoke starts pouring out his back box an his fookin face went even whiter, he was only a tyre fitter for quick fit an thought he knew it all but shit it when this happened as he did not have a clue what was going on.

We were hidin behind a bonnet of a car on the other side of the workshop in stiches, But sods law the gaffer walks through the workshop on his way home an goes ape shit as the workshop was now full of smoke an we all pissed off home, sneaking out the side door lmao.

Pissing myself now thinking about his face, was a classic

start looking on the floor and when he asks what you looking for, tell him a valve clearance has been dropped, get him to help you look and then leave him to it.

Pulled most of them pranks on apprentices, another that we liked was getting them to hold the HT leads while we were sat in the car with a computer & kept creating a spark

While the apprentice is under a car set his legs on fire.

If you got a pit get him working under the car & pour liquids down his neck.

Order glow plugs for a petrol engine.

If they like drinking from cans drill a small hole in the bottom empty the can then fill it with cold tea etc etc, comes to open it & drinks something unpleasant.

Pin him on the floor on his front, tie wrap is hands to his feet. Then cover every hair on his body in gaffer tape. Leave him for a bit then cut the tie wraps.

P.S. I suggest the biggest lad in thw work shop cuts the tie wraps off.

At my uncle's funeral today we heard the story about him working on a site and all the lads went for a T break but he stayed outside.

Just then, the timber supports in a trench gave way and the whole thing collapsed, so he threw his helmet into the hole and hid - while his mates rushed out and started frantically digging to save him!

Nice one Jim! - aka "The Tash"

Sent one of apprentices off down the chemist to get the boss 2000 paracetamol's hence the chemist refused to serve him.

Another when working on a job was to say we need a long weight (wait) so off he would go asking every one if they had a long weight.

we've been doing loads of practical jokes at work just lately... a few good ones are:

put graphogen or grease on the earpiece of the phone then call someone up

stuff something in the end of their boots

when someone is concentrating on welding or something similay, hit the bench/ramp with a fooking big hammer


and a couple of nasty ones:

ask your apprentice if they've ever played any instruments, then get him to go and ask one of your workmates about his famous sister who has played the piano with some of the worlds biggest stars etc...

when he asks, get your workmate to turn around and call him a sick fuck, keeping a dead straight face. then get your workmate to say that she's got no fingers, still keeping the straight face. then he can tell your apprentice to fuck off and never talk to him again

he'll be walking around worried as fuck... you can wind your apprentice up further by telling him that he should really go and apologise etc.

when you feel he's suffered enough, you can tell him the truth



another good one is to tell him that one of the cars he has worked on has had a wheel fall off on the motorway and killed all inside it... and say that the boss is going to talk to him later

i was sent to the stores to get a long counter weight

2 hours later i was still there

so i cam eback and said the fella had gone off for his lunch break and i'd go back when he was there again

then i was sent to get a sky hook instead of the counter weight so off i trundled again

some one else thought they knew better and went and got a block and tackle and put it on the instrectors desk giving it the smary old "i know what i'm doing"

when it was explained he was more embarresed than me

Send him to a factor's for 3 foot of falopion (sp) tube

And we did to one before broom down the sleeve's and taped his hand's to the broom. Then we came out with the bright idea that we should take him to the staff room and there was a wall full of them hook's for your coat's. So we lifted him onto them and left him hanging there. But he managed to lift himself off with his feet but fell forward and cos he had a broom down his arm's he couldnt put his hand's down to break fall and ended up smashing his face on the deck
We got major shit for that

my mate got his balls greased and someone chucked iron filings in there too, just for good measure,

one of the apprentices a few years back was a cocky little school leaver, and we got a new tool box delivered to work, which came in a huge cardboard box, so just before dinner time we threw him in the box and used about 6 rolls of duck tape to keep him in, came back off dinner and all proceeded to kick the fook out of the box with him still in
