Best shop practical jokes

Slip a couple of extra washers, nuts, etc into the pile of a tech's teardown and watch him go nuts trying to figure where the extra stuff is supposed to go when he puts it back together again.

Geesh, there's some pretty cruel pranks in there. Compared to that - most of ours would seem pretty boring.

Usually, for the new guys, we'll just page them while they are in the shop to go and see the General Manager or the HR Manager. It's kinda funny because they pop their head in their office and ask "You called for me?". Then, they both look at each other with a dumb look on their faces - "I'm not looking for you"

Oh, and I almost forgot my personal favorite. How about walking around and giving someone the "Pat on the back". Good job. But in your hand - we use those little part number shipping labels from the factory. One day, we had a guy walking around with 9 of those stickers on his back!

First you put a car up on blocks so when the persontries to leave the tires spin. then you let the air out of the tires so when they put the car on the ground the tires are flat. I did this to one of my techs a few years ago. This works very well.

REPLACING PARTS MANAGERS DEMO WITH A STOCK UNIT SAME COLOR AND INSTALLING DEMO PLATES ON IT. SEVERALS KEYS GET CUT BEFORE THEY SNAP
THE FIXED GUY

A couple of guys got some very thin clear plastic sheeting and lined a drawer in one of our techs tool box while he was out to lunch. The plastic was placed over the tools but it was so thin that you could see the tools through it. They then filled the drawer with water and put half a dozen gold fish in it. Imagine the look on this guys face when he opened this drawer and saw gold fish swimming around his tools!

Remember when Delco batteries came in the white cardboard box that left the bottom open? I used to love carrying the empty battery box pretending that I was also carrying the battery with it. A faked stumble and launch the battery box towards someone... mekes their eyes the size of saucers....

take an old plastic washer jug use a shop towel to seal the hole while you fill it with air....this will scare the crap out of the whole shop.We put a porter in a car on the lift and told him to hold it at 2000 rpm then blew the washer jug and pulled main fuse, i think he crapped

take an empty coolant bottle, drill out the cap with a uni-bit and screw in an air fitting. shut air valve off and drain air hose. connect hose to bottle and partially fill bottle with air. place under vehicle, raise hood and invite the salespeople to "come see the new safety recall". ask the most vunerable of then to look down in engine compartment and point ou the "defect". when they do open the air valve and "BOOM" THEY RUN LIKE HELL......

Also place a truck on a lift, place tech in bed of truck with a 5 gallon bucket of water. raise truck and park vehicle under the rear of truck with hood open. Invite service consultant or someone "special" to inspect a worn belt etc. when they are under bed of truck "splash" they are soaked to their underwear.
