Best work pranks

[Bridge hibs]

Noticed a few on the pet peeves thread but didnt want to derail it so I will start with this one, I am a prankster 😄

Many years ago we had a new colleague starting with us, great guy and great at his work but as thick as a brick.

We had a large tv in our howf which was boxed in and no access to the volume, channel and sound buttons other than the remote control that I had beside me.

He came in one day and started fumbling with the tv but to no avail, I told him you just have to stand close to the tv and shout instructions such as what channel you want and if you want the volume up you shout UP and if you want the volume down you shout DOWN.

He started shouting up up up for the volume and I was turning it up then he shouted down down down and I turned it down, same for the channels, we were buckled 🤣

Ten minutes later I started pressing the opposite to what he wanted and he was totally miffed, I suggested it works better with different accents and he spent another 10 minutes speaking to the tv in Irish, English and American, he was Polish🤣
