I remember at college, the Lecturer's telling us not to get involved in Horseplay at work, I've pretty much stuck to that rule, as I've seen and heard about it when it gets out of hand.
Anyhow. Friday just gone, the builder on site (very funny guy) throws some water over his labourer/dullard.Labourer disappears for 1 minute comes back with bucket of PVA solutionk, throws it over his mate, which misses him almost completely, but soaks me!!
So I kick this 19 year old div up the arse, HARD. He comes at me, and I give him the fright of his life, I'm 6' 3, 17 Stone, and 41 yrs old..
He runs off the job on the fone!
Then the meither starts.
He rings his mum, who rings her brothers, who turn up an hour later, raging.....
Anyhow, they were decent blokes, that when they hear the real story, not the one told by the 19yr old numbskull (that I'd battered him) they are all apologetic and explain how embarrassed they are.

Kids huh?

(glad I didn't get battered of course)
 
Got to be honest i have had some pranks played on me in my time and in turn played some back but there is a line which shouldn't be crossed. I remember one wideboy apprentice we had giving it large so some clown actually loosened the wheel nuts on his car without him knowing. Needless to say the inevitable happened and when driving home his front wheel came off. This to me is well over the mark of horseplay.

Had an apprentice once that was giving me some lip while he was up a ladder changing 8ft tubes. He was wearing a boiler suit so i put a tube up the leg through the body and up the arm, taped the leg up and left him there for 15 mins while i had a cup of tea. He could only use 1 hand and 1 foot on the ladder, he was nearly crying when i came back. Never got any lip off him again!
 
I had one apprentice giving it billy big man. When he went to college on day release i knocked the pin out of the hinge of his tool box and removed all his tools before getting the builders who were extending our workshop to fill said box with concrete. I reinstated the pin and the job was half done...lol He came back from day release and i told him to grab his tools as we had a rush job on the other side of the tidal basin and there was no transport available. Now if you have ever worked in rosyth dockyard then you will know that the basin is a big square of approx 1 mile each side. The poor sod carried his toolbox all the way around the site then back again when he finally opened his box the air was blue but he learned his lesson....lmao
