A guy in my high school found that out the hard way. Somebody mixed itching powder and a shaved furry cactus (the one with the white hairs that latch onto your skin like velcro) with his Gold Bond. Only, he used it on his entire body after gym, rather than just his feet. The school thought that he had scabies and so they basically purged everything he had there (it was a private on-campus school), and he got to spend the rest of his high school experience as "the scabies guy." The lesson there being that sucker-punching somebody in the back of the head during a football game can have...unforeseen...consequences.
We did this to our teacher. He kept walking through the rows to figure it out and got to the exact spot it was at but he just couldn't figure out it was in the ceiling tile.
In paramedic school, most of the class beat our instructor back from lunch one day. She had placed a Resusci Annie on a table at the front of the room. One of my classmates put on Annie's jacket and laid down on the table in her place. We put his jacket and someone's hat on Annie, and stuck her in his chair. Our instructor came in, walked up to the table, placed her hand on what she thought was Resusci Annie's chest and started to speak. My classmate raised his head and said, "How ya doin?" Scared the absolute crap out of her. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
When one of my emt instructors was a fire-medic they had a "phantom shitter" who would leave a massive incognito dump in the toilet any time the county stations would have a meetup. They went around 6 years without figuring out who it was until one of the oldest firefighters at a neighboring station retired and it stopped happening
Fact: People with adhd have working memory deficits... and often have difficulty with organising information and logical timeline related recall. Neurotypicals don't have this issue... stop requiring perfect continuity and being a nit picker.
@@Gr3nadgr3goryI work nights in the ICU, have any of us had a normal sleep cycle in a decade or so? Mad respect to people pulling 24 hour plus shifts though 16 is when my safe word comes out
Set a alarm for every two hours out of the night, say beep until you know he wakes up, go back to sleep satisfied that you'll do it again in two hours. Alternatively, a lot easier way would to play a 24/7 recording of you occasionally going beep at random looped intervals and just have it play on a separate hidden walkie
@@dommysprite3771makes more sense. If you have this amount of time to commit you arent a busy department and are probably 1 or 2 people over in terms of who should be there. Also, how you gonna keep yourself awake and another person awake? That would get you disciplined. Also sleep deprivation may be a thing but by law a department cant allow a sleep deprived fire fighter on standby as it poses more danger than being 1 man down. Makes more sense if we talking volunteer fire department though.
Man, that takes me back. Was working it IT teachers and I set up a "chime" on one guys computer so that at quarter past and half past the hour it gave a single default Windows ding. I then forgot about it, while he slowly went insane.
Omg. I found a script to open the disc drive every ten minutes or so on the internet and put it on my roommates laptop while he was at work. I completely forgot about it until he was complaining about a "virus" on his laptop 2 weeks later.
Yeah, but the first thing he did each time was look at the ceiling... which means it was UP THERE and WTF destroy everything below? And, OMFG, it's a drop-ceiling... that would be the FIRST place to look, not the last.
That's what's going on with my work places break trailer? We've all just been a little confused about it but have accepted it. Way better than the real cricket that hid here a year ago
Had someone who moved the CPR mannequin to the corner of the lounge area onto a recliner and put sunglasses on it. She then promptly forgot and scared the daylights out of herself twice the same day with it.
When the path somewhere takes you through the gym (dead ass exhausted in the middle of the night with no lights) and there's a boxing mannequin facing the door with a mirror behind it. Especially the first time.
"remember a WEEK ago when he put my bed in Bay?" *laughing maniacally* "he hasn't slept in WEEKS" He been messing with Fenton long before the bed was in the bay 😂😂😂
I used to be a medic in Durham NC, and we set up an Iv drip above the toilet. A very slow drip mind you. The hospital corp spent thousands on roof repairs, etc only for an enterprising worker to pop the ceiling tile up and find the bag hanging in the rafters. The EMS director was PISSED and was out for blood. That’s been 25 years ago. I ought to message him and tell him because I don’t think he knows who was involved to this day. Much love guys
Oh this is all true. This is all very VERY true. We have fire fighters in our family, to the tune of three generations and the hazing is out of this world hysterical. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I can't stop laughing, and the thing is, they will NEVER tell him where it is.
We did this to the warehouse manager. He'd park himself in his office and do sweet fa all shift! So we found this toy gizmo thingy that beeped at random intervals and we put it up in the false ceiling before he got into work. He went off his rocker trying to track down the source of the beep, most work we've ever seen him do.
I tore apart my security systems main computer. They screwed the thing to the wall and the battery died. In my rage i dropped the 10 lb sledge hammer and Gallagher spurt it to smithereens. My husband asked me calmly what happened. And spent 3 minutes trying real hard not to laugh. I destroyed the security system because it wouldn't stop beeping at me. My only excuse I can give is I am autistic with extreme sensitivity to noise.
Did the same to one of my managers, but put the gizmo on cricket noise. Random volume, random time, 'chirp-chirp.' LOL Drove the guy insane, he searched his office for days! After a week I put it above the floating ceiling on a junction box. I always wondered how long the battery lasted...
saw a hilarious TIFU where some guy tried planting one in a work mates office (as part of ongoing harmless pranks between them) and it wound up being found over the weekend as a 'suspect electronic device' so he returned monday morning to a meeting with police/feds wanting to talk to the staff.
Even better revenge would be to wait until his shift is after yours and then just as he comes in for the shift you say. “It sure was a Quiet one today”
@@I_Am_Him420because of superstition, the people leaving say their day was quiet, the people coming in get the busiest shift cuz the last shift jinxed them by saying quiet
I had a senior fire fighter hang an IV bag above the ceiling tiles in my bunk room and poke a catheter through the tile and set it for a very slow drip to drip on my face randomly while I slept. The other guys decided to one up them and get kids toys with sounds and a timer and they hid them in the walls to wake me at random intervals. Good times. If they aren’t messing with you, they don’t like you.
This situation happened to me. We were living on the ship and someone just transfered but before they left they snuck into a bunch of the berthings and put a cricket noise thing hidden around. So we just heard this cricket noise randomly for like a month before we could find it. The relief I felt after it was gone can't be described
My husband did something similar when he was deployed. Every day (except the days he was off), at noon, he would make a fart sound in his radio. His radio didn't identify him, so NO ONE knew who was doing it, they just called it the "ghost fart". He kept it up until someone was talking about the ghost fart and my husband busted out laughing and spilled the beans that it was him. It almost caused an investigation, apparently. Good times.
During covid we had these air quality meters in the office. When air quality went down it would turn orange or red. One of my coworkers made it his mission to release every single fart directly into the meter to see if it would change colour.
@@TheFansOfFictionPersonally, I do believe that's pretty passive-aggressive. Because he waits for the 1 day Hes allowed to do it and then unleashes it all.
I had a customer hire one of our electricians to find a smoke detector that was doing this. Turned out it got buried in a ceiling snd some point during a remodel years ago and the battery finally died so it was beeping all the time for days and nobody could find it.
Some people go deaf to that sound. I could hear it really annoyingly loud over the phone when I was talking to them. They replied about it in a very blasé manner. So weird.
@@elizabethbottroff1218 i almost went crazy when i was tripping on shrooms and didn't locate source of that BEEP sound. I ripped every closet and all open to find that until i realized it was fire alarm low battery indicator.... I -can't- understand how so many people even live with that sound on.
A friend of mine had a beep in his condo about every 5 minutes. It took him a week or two to find the thing. It turned out to be the low battery warning on the smoke alarm above his stairs.
Dad took the car to the mechanics.. it kept going beep beep every 5 minutes or so - neither dad or the mechanic could figure out why.... It was his annoying kid (me) going - 'I think that's the parking disc'.
I had forgotten about an old digital watch that had a daily alarm. It took me ages to find the source of the noise. Worse was that it was driving my parents crazy at home while I was away at college. Oops!
This reminds me of when I was young. My mom dissected a squeaky toy and took the squeaker out and would periodically squeak it when I was the only one in the car with her. I legit thought I was going crazy.
i used to do that to my kid and the dog , was funny as hell to watch them both be frantic looking for the source , though the dog was a much faster learner than the toddler . it was fantastic fun!
Had a paramedic partner that hated the tones. I put 3 small alarm clocks in the crew quarters set for 1/2 hour apart in the middle of the night. The last one was secured inside the a/c vent in the wall.
Imagine being a carpenter or contractor building houses. You could literally install that in the wall if you don’t like a certain client. Put it right next the fire alarm ☠️
My uncle Tacky was a firemen and I've never seen such a tight group of men , he used to bring me to the firehouse when they were having dinner and made sure I ate very well , man I miss him , R.I.P.
I did an alarm clock in a dorm room HVAC duct, hiring the TV remote for a series, and turning on parental controls so all C Platoon could watch were kids shows. Ah, the good old days! 😂
@@classicalrickyThat's not what you'd see with parental controls on, so this makes the whole ordeal funnier as everyone is forced to watch nothing but "educational" shows that are just audio and visual crack for toddlers.
We did something similar to the overhead in the Goat Locker (Chief Petty Officers bunkroom) on one of my submarines, with a battery-powered alarm clock set to go off every 12 hours - for about 30 seconds. With 3x6 watch rotation, the alarm went off in weird places in their sleep cycle. They never did find it. the battery eventually wore out.
As a contractor who frequently deals with both Fire and Police stations, this does not even begin to cover the level of shenanigans that they get into with each other. Hearing their stories is the best part of my job.
Heard this exact reddit story recently... the guy ordered a small beeping device off amazon with a 3-month battery life. He worked in a major office in Canada, and he placed it in his colleagues office. A week goes by, he wasn't sure if it was working or not, and the office has an unscheduled meeting called... they make everyone aware of the device that was found & assume somehow that it was an explosive ordinance, and that more could possibly be in the building....so they're going to lock down the offices for a few days & get a bomb sniffing crew in there... so the guy stood up and said it was a prank. The bank vice president thanked him and ended the mass call, and they canceled the search. The VP found it funny thankfully enough, but the dudes female manager tried for years afterwards to get him fired.
My dad was a firefighter for 25 years. This type of shit ain’t no joke. He was a captain for 12 years and he would always mess with his guys. Hilarious shit
My wife and I had this exact problem for the first year or so in the house we just bought. Every 15 to 30 min it would sound like one of our phones vibrated on a hard surface. I spent months standing still in different parts of the house and it always sounded like it was just in the other room. We finally figured it out though....our neighbor had some serious foundation issues and their sump pump went off constantly...even in the height of summer. We now have new neighbors that actually fixed their foundation issues and I'm assuming plumbing issues as well.
*laughing my head off then realise something.* Hang on? Jason, you said Fenton pranked you A WEEK ago. So you hidden a radio, and Fenton has been searching for it for WEEKS. did you plant the radio before Fenton's pranks?
When working the nightshift, in a mostly empty, prison, we hid a radio in the ceiling at a small control room. Just ever so often we made a creepy sounding transmission to it (at an unused frequency), referring to old 'ghost stories' of the facility. The guard who had to work there on his own the whole night, went a little bit crazy 😂 Even when he asked for help of the sergeant, or anyone who visited him, nobody could hear those creepy noises. Everyone was in in it and played his/her part. 😂 It wasn't until we stood by him, holding our laughter, when there came a call from the main control room, and one of us answered at the 'wrong' frequency, he find out what really had happened. 😮😂 He had it coming, but was good sport about it. Great times.....
