Work Prank

I was working at an above ground sand mine for seven years when I decided to venture out and find a different path. Now I know all of my coworkers quite well at this point and I'm still friends with most of them to this day. And as you can imagine being in the blue collar field we had many jokes and ways to mess with each other. And when they found out I was leaving in month, they decided to up the game of messing with me until I left. But little did they know that payback was heading their way. Prior to my last day I bought some gay bumper stickers, two pounds of pink glitter and four packs of canned sardines. On my last day, at the end of the work day I snuck behind there trucks in the parking lot and started to put the bumper stickers on until the mechanic Rob got suspicious. One said "Follow Me To The Gay Bar" on one truck and "I Love Cock" on Bo Bo's car (and he had to pick his kids up from school with this bumper sticker)  So I only had gotten to do a couple of cars unfortunately. After we all left and said our goodbyes, I came back a couple hours later. And proceeded to put the pink glitter in all the vents of the heavy equipment and work trucks. There were probably eight different machines and three different work trucks I did this too. So when they got in and started the AC they were about to have a glitter party through forced air. And the sardines cans, we'll I cracked them open and hid them under the seats of various trucks and heavy equipment. Which took a couple of weeks to kick in but definitely got there attention. Then comes the following Monday and I'm in another state and my phone starts ringing which I didn't answer because I knew what the questions were. Apparently my ex boss got it first since I loaded the skid steer vents with the pink glitter and he needed that first thing in the morning. And it was getting cold out so they had no choice but to turn on the heat and get doused by pink glitter our just stay cold. The sardines took a little longer to figure out. Like I said it was cooler out, so it took a couple of weeks for them to properly start to decay. The phone calls increased until I finally told them where they were hidden. It was all in good fun.
