Do you have any growing or work practical jokes of sending someone for the impossible? Like a metric crescent wrench, hammer grease, a can of steam, a bacon stretcher?
All trades have them, can't really think of any in growing industry tho...

I guess this is OG person to person trolling..

not exactly but I used to work in a warehouse I'd used to stick clear tape across a doorway. One of the older delivery guys walked through and fell on his arse, I was very lucky he didn't die, he was very old. I stopped doing it after that realizing how dangerous tape was.

I went to a trade school, we used to do it to the freshman all the time " hey go to the carpentry shop and get me a 1/4" left handed screwdriver" or "go down to maintenance and get a cup of sailboat fuel to wash this oil off with". The auto shop guys were the worst with their blinker fluid, muffler bearings,etc. The shop instructor had made a few fake parts by combining different things, he take it up to a student, tell them " i just took this off that car over there..it's no good..figure out what it is and order me a new one." I know of one kid who spent 2 days trying to figure out what it was before the teach. told him.

In Boy Scouts I got sent for a smoke-bender on my first outing. I figured it out after a while and rather than admit defeat I fashioned one out of sheet metal and installed it over our fire pit. It wasn't totally successful but it was good enough to actually use for a couple days. The next day I was approached by the scout master and told I was being groomed for leadership. Then he asked if he could touch me under my pants.

I bought weed from a scoutmaster in high school. He was bisexual.

When I worked in a bar in college we would send new servers out to get stuff from neighboring places all the time. It only worked on females for some reason.

"Hey, I'm making a batch of split pea soup, go over to Dub's and borrow a pea splitter."
"We are going to be busy today, go to Linden's and borrow a grill stretcher. "

We had one server water the plastic plants once a week. It took her 3 months to figure it out.

When we were kids one of our buddies got a job at one of these auto parts places. He knew absolutely nothing about cars.
We called him up looking for turn signal fluid.
He had trouble finding that in his catalog.

So I use to play this joke on "know it all's" it takes two people.. So you tell your buddy "hey go up to Mr.knowitall and tell him I'm a idiot and that I was bragging that my mom can kick a football a 100 yards" so then Mr.knowitall approaches you and says "so I heard you said your mom can kick a football a 100 yards" looking for argument and you reply "dude that is fuck up bro, my mom just had a car wreck and lost both her legs" then he will look at your friend like wtf man.. lol priceless

Also I use bartend and wait tables back in day, I use to tell the new girls that they had to empty the coffee pot machine of all the hot water and handed them a bucket.. They sit there trying to drain the coffee maker that was hooked up via to water line, until someone would ask them what are you doing?.

Also I would dip my hand in the flour and slap them on the butt gently leaving a big white hand print on their black pants..

Also throw ice cubes in their aprons as they would walk up to their tables the ice cubes would melt looking like they just pissed their pants... I ruined a girls Iphone by doing this so I stopped..

My chef once told a server "the plates are hot" and this server kept grabbing them with his bare hands and dropping them onto his tray real quick cause they were so hot, fucking up presentation.

So my chef took a blow torch to the rim of a plate, and when the server picked up up bare handed, BOOM, no more fingerprints. I thought that was a real dick move, and I wanted to get him fired for that. I really don't like to fuck with my co-workers, it sucks enough to be working for assholes, let alone working WITH assholes.

Though, once this girl server ordered in a leg of Lamb, and I told her we were out of the right leg, and to go ask if the left leg was ok...She actually went to the table and asked if left leg was ok, and the dude who ordered it got in on the fun and said

"No, I want the right leg only."...

After a couple back and forths from the table to the kitchen, she finally realized we were fucking with her, and ended up in tears. I felt bad. It was harmless fun, but I ruined that girls night. I liked her too, she was really nice, even if she was a little ditzy.
