Ever had your place of work targeted by bitter ex employees? I did once, when at the country park. 3 stable staff members were fired for being lazy and not doing their jobs (they didn't muck out properly and never fed the horses on time), for some reason they thought this was unfair and started a vendetta against the stables. The various pranks they pulled are listed below in detail.
1. The letting the animals out prank.
Nope, this wasn't at all funny. Please consider that my tone is drenched in sarcasm when I refer to this as a prank, as well as the RSPCA one. These idiots let all the animals out of their fields either early morning or late at night, totally disregarding the fact that the park is next to a busy road and the animals would have been killed or injured had they ventured onto the road.
None of them did, luckily.
Not so lucky were the 4 of us who had to waste not only the precious 2 hours preliminary time getting the stable chores done before the general public were let in but also another hour on top of that catching 7 goats, 1 Welsh pony, 3 miniture Shetland ponies, 2 donkeys and 1 Highland steer. Not to mention the 10 Shire horses that were rampaging all over the place, trampling down the chicken run and leaving huge hoofprints all over the animal farm. We had to cancel the shows and dray rides cuz we had to play catchup, resulting in very pissed off customers and staff.
2. The calling the RSPCA prank.
Or, technically speaking, pranks plural. They called them out 4 times, and each time one of us had to stop work and take the inspector round the entire park, showing him every animal to prove we weren't being cruel. The 4th time, the call was that we had 4 starving bay horses tucked away round the back; I had to take the guy all the way to the very far end of the park to show him there were no such horses. Both of us were pissed off.
3. The calling the fire brigade prank.
Now this one was funny... what the idiots failed to understand, was that the fire brigade can trace calls, so that their little joke backfired on them spectacularly when the police were called on them for wasting the fire brigade's time when they called them and said that the park was on fire. My boss also pressed charges of harrassment against the idiot trio, so this was finally an end to their reign of terror.
