The Strangest thing you've done at work

Little Katie · 18-07-2008, 23:18

Last Friday I watched 3 of my (male) colleagues wrestling, wearing only their undies and covered in baby oil.

That qualifies as quite strange I reckon!

10 years ago we stuck the centre pages of a adult magazine to the back of the bosses car, he drove about 50 miles and couldnt work out why people were tooting and waving. he got to the company he was visiting for a meeting about renewing a contract and got called out the meeting, everyone was in the car park pointing and laughing, he was fuming and we had a rather irate boss on the phone asking which one of us did it

once gaffer taped a work experience lad to an office chair and left him out on the roof for a few hours in the pi**ing rain, but that didn't stop him getting lairy so the next day we bundled him into an empty flight case and rolled it down the town centre and left it there for a while...

youve reminded me of some more. birthday boy locked up in the back of a 7.5t wagon and taken for a trip down memory lane (sorry bumby country lane) by one of our nutcase drivers. Traffic office guy decided he couldnt get home so slept on a chair up stairs in the sales office, we gaffer taped his legs to the chair legs, his arms to the arms and then rang him up from down stairs and heard a massive thudd as he tried to get out of the chair.

A cheeky YTS lad was shrunk wrapped to a chair and placed next to the septic tank for the afternoon (with lid open) wasnt so checky after that...

A coke can was left in the office with about a mouthful left, i disposed my cigarette in it as i always used a coke can for this (going back about 10 years again) it turned out was the traffic guys drink, he took a swig....

lets say it made a good projectirile).

ill have to see if i can remember anymore.

A saleswoman phoned for my boss whilst we were all having a brew break. I asked my boss if he wanted to take the call. He said he'd pay me £50 if I got rid of her by telling her he was having a poo. I duly did this - easiest £50 I've ever made!

Gwilo · 20-07-2008, 08:06

Wrapped office furniture and computer (every last bit of it) and phone in tin foil.

Those little guns that shoot foam rubber disks - we had random sniper sessions every week till we nearly took out someones eye with it. then it wasnt so much fun......

I did go through a minor comedy klepto stage - whch involved nicking a blokes pack of fags. Didn't see the harm in that as he had a box of 200 in the drawer.....but he treated them like children and knew everyone one by name or something - he was less than thrilled that he was 20 fags down all of a sudden......despite getting them back, unsmoked, the day after. He hasn't spoken to me since (4 years and counting). Actually, that was a good move - he's a dullard.

We've got these new IP phones in now, and you can assign ringtones to the handset.......I get in early and change everyones to this voice that shouts "Are you there?" in a really bad Yank accent.....I'm waiting for a hack so I can assign mp3 ringtones to them.....

Having not washed my feet properly for 3 weeks, one of my work mates bit of my big toe nail and ate it, while some of the younger guys were watching, then he chased them, trying to lick their faces. They were not too impressed, but then every day is pretty strange (or normal to us) in the Army!

smstext · 20-07-2008, 09:11

we play tag on a friday afternoon in the freezers (-40c) with lights off. climbing racking at over the height of a house and jumping from one side to the other. spend all week putting stock away stratigically so you knew a good route ready for the friday, suprised no one got killed let alone any broken bones.

Lacky Band fights were good in the office too.

! I have a sty in my eye and someone told me to put a teabag on it. I must look so silly but will wait and see if it works.

Anyone else done something strange like this?

Let me get this right, you were Teabagged at work?

That is quite possibly one of the grossest (is there such a word?!) things I have ever read. I salute you

I've helped remove a deceased rabbit from under a network cabinet.

KenONeill · 21-07-2008, 12:53

Tie-wrapped a colleague (male) to a fence, 3 days before his wedding.
Played cricket in a chemistry lab, with the lab owner (Yorkshireman) bowling.

skodagirl1985 · 21-07-2008, 20:08

I once put beans in Sticky Toffee pudding.

Didn't mean to but I lifed the tin of Beans over the top of the Sticky Toffee pudding mix and dropped some a the beans in. Opps!!! The Head chef wasn't too chuffed at the time. but i scopped the beans out.

Lummox · 21-07-2008, 20:10

Set myself alight before now, strange, hmmm maybe, dangerous, for sure.

Mr-E · 21-07-2008, 21:08

Had to help de-bunging the main drain/sewer pipe out of the lab where i work - the management were to stingy to call a professional in - there was one er... something which drifted through the manhole i was looking into and I DO NOT want to know what it was.

Putting random stuff into the furnaces (850°C -ish) to see if they melt, burn or just glow red hot.
A colleague put a sausage roll into it to warm up for his dinner - opened door, placed it in, closed door, opened door (immediately) and it was blazing nicely.

several interesting instances with superglue.

I'm not a big fan of spiders so one day i opened a draw in my desk to be confronted by the biggest spider I've ever seen which wasn't a tarantula. Fecking HUGE!!
Fortunately it had been found expired and placed in there as a joke - i was already several yards away by the time i realised this - fastest move I've ever made.
I carefully laid it out, stuck a sprue on its belly, invested it and cast it in chrome alloy and it's now sitting in a glass cabinet in my living room.

Made a few rings and bits of jewelry when nobody was looking

Lummox · 21-07-2008, 21:34

I put a kipper in a work experience kids bag once. He was a cocky little sod and had all his gear in there for a night out with his g/f. I tucked the said fish inbetween his shirt and trousers and left it under the heater all day.

vRSLen · 21-07-2008, 21:37

We had a guy at work that hated curry with a vengeance, so we put some in the office air ducting

Decron · 21-07-2008, 21:41

I met my Wife

pixi · 21-07-2008, 21:41

Mmm, I'd love that. On a few occasions our Dr's have been persuaded to do a curry night at work in the evening. I love the way it stinks the place out for at least three days afterwards.
