Every once in a while I will play a prank. The latest one was with a coworker who is constantly playing pranks on everyone else. He has been wanting to be promoted to foreman for about a year now. While he was on R&R he would call every day to see how the shop was doing. I had one of the guys tell him that two foreman positions came open and we knew how badly he wanted one of them so we filled out the paperwork and forged his name to it since the position would close before he got back. Then we told him that the other guy who applied got the maintenance foreman position and he'd been given the cleaning crew foreman position. He hates the cleaning crew. It only took him a minute to figure out he was being pranked.

I don't do scarey pranks or things that make people angry.
