    At my high school new teachers who asked students for directions always got directions that included "go past the pool." While my school did have a swim team, we did not have a pool. My new history teacher sophomore year got that one.

      For the construction people, it was always fun to hot glue someone's tool belt to the floor. If you aren't working with glue (and how often are you?) a nail through the eyes of the aforementioned tool belt works wonders. Especially a 16p framing nail shot in with a nail gun.

      Never leave anything lying on the floor on a job site.

        What about "Fresh company line"?
        Or Headlight Fluid.
        Elbow Grease.

        /Headlight Fluid, how stupid do they think I am... okay, so, Elbow Grease it is.

          At my store (I work in a mexican resturant) the managers used to tell new employees to go out to the field beside our store (before they built Arby's there) and pick beans. The coolest thing is they would take a bunch of pinto beans out there and throw them around and watch the newbies walking around picking up the beans. They would also ask new people to get lettuce from the basement and of course we don't have a basement but it was funny to watch them wander around trying to find the stairs. We don't do that anymore..times have changed I guess.

            Alright this really didn't really happen to a new person. It happened to one of the sups here so it's even better. We had a call on the interstate for a tire change. The call specified that we needed to bring air because the spare was flat also(we bring air regardless). Well the guys down the shop thought it would be fun to mess with the supervisor. They called her up and asked her to call the member to verify what kind of air he had in his tires, summer or winter air. Because, as we all know that makes a difference because winter air is denser then summer air. She had half of the phone number dialed before we stopped her.
