Tricks played on apprentices

[Will C]

My fellow apprentice was sent for a new bubble for the sprit level, He was sent back with a drop of water on a tile with strict instructions not to let it roll off 🤣

the same teacher/boss got me when I had my toe caps welded to the bench leg with a bit of bar, you can’t undo your boots when they are under the bench so I was stuck all lunch time.
 

I was also left with my finger over the outlet hole on a tractor diesel tank that was half full while my boss went for a brew (aged 13 ish)

Copied this one off facebook, another version of the long weight

 

 

Bucket of steam...Straight hook..Skirtin board ladder. When I worked in Brit steel North East, someone sent this lad to the stores (about 3/4 mile walk)for a long stand. He was sent back with a note "how long" ...Sent back with note 1/2Hr...Came back with note "havn't got one ...Sent back with...Wot you got....came back 1/4 Hr ...Give him two of those then .Poor lad was knackered by the end of the shift.

I just remembered the other well worn one  "Go down to the stores and ask for a tub of elbow grease"

It would be quite interesting to see how we supposedly older and wiser ones would deal with the situation armed with what we know to expect.

For instance being asked to go for a long weight , I might be tempted to pick up one of these road signs and take it back to the bloke who asked for it

The look on their faces would be priceless 😂

How stupid are some people lol 😂 I love it 👌🏽 I got someone last Thursday when I asked him to pass me the left handed screwdriver 😁 bless him he looked for ten minutes before he realised 😁😁😁😁

 

What, that you are right handed ?🤪

[SamanthaSunny]

Lol 😂 I am right handed but I wondered while he was looking through the tool box for the LEFT handed screwdriver what he thought it would look like 🤣🤣🤣🤣 bless him. It’s only fair to play tricks on the youngsters because I certainly had my fair share 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have actually learned a lot more tricks since posting this question and will definitely be using them 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
