Way back as a youngster I did work experience for a printing company.

Got sent to the tooling department to ask for a long weight.

When I got there the guy said "hang on a sec"

Yep...you guessed it. I had a long wait.

This was always my favourite. Before sending the apprentice off I'd turn to a fellow tradesman and say "Or do you think a short weight should cover it?" to which they'd reply "Better play it safe and go with a long." Never failed. Was a lot kinder than what the generation before me bestowed on their lackies. Taped up in a cocoon and raised on the hoist to hang for awhile or the worst I heard - locked in a dumpster with a running hose until they came out thrashing like a feral cat. Yeah, good times...
 
Ha ha - tins of compression - sweeet.
Hope you all realize this is a form workplace bullying and harassment however. Feelings could get hurt you know.
Shame on us.

Very funny, but I do put 'OK TO LEAVE AT DOOR...etc.' and about half the time they do. I've never had anything stolen, or not arrive touch wood. I dont know if its ever the same company or not, but I want it there on my doorstep. Safer than in my letter box isnt it?

When we did work experience a mate went off to the Air force and believe it or not, they have a dog squad.
Mate was asked to get a can of WD40 - (yep, nice, know that one) and a jar of K9P.
 
Bullying and bastardisation (Negative Re-inforcement Management is how I redress that window) aside, I'm amazed that anyone would let production stop for that long for a laugh at some new on the job shitkickers expense.

"Like yeah, nah, I'm gonna let you dickheads help **** up KPIs more than you normally do so you can all have a circle jerk and stop work while the kid does less than he does normally. Top idea team, why haven't you gone on to bigger things since you started in the 80's?"

Went to make up some boxes the other day and couldn't find the end of the tape. Being a bright one, I figured I'd just make a shallow cut with a Stanley knife to make a new end. Made the mistake of putting down the tape, so I couldn't find the original end or the new one! 5 attempts later I just drove to kennards and bought a new roll on a dispenser
 
My dad was an industrial arts teacher and had a tin of striped paint at school. It was a regular ~4l paint tin crafted with three colours painted in striped fashion drawn down on a few spots from the lid. Inside was a large spring, a circle of ply and a shitload of sawdust from the bottom up in that order. The tin would sit innocently at the back of the paint shelf until someone asked what colour that paint was. "It's the striped paint, it's expensive so we only use it for special jobs". If the kid expressed enough enthusiasm and reasoning to warrant opening it, their (and my old man's) wish was granted and they were privy to a face full of sawdust.

Yes its is very 80's.
These days the shitkicker you need only log onto social media for bullying and further compromise KPI's by retiring to the toilet and slaking his raging hormones via Red Tube and smartphone.
Very 2.0..
 
Being deleted off the bosses facebook page has been considered as workplace bullying in a recent case in Tassie, funnily enough the commiosioner who deemed that to be bullying is defending charges herself for bullying an employee while a union seretary.
