Employee Pranks Boss, Boss Pulls The Reverse UNO Card


What began as a silly spider prank, evolved into a rollercoaster of unforeseen circumstances. Just picturing a prank backfiring to such an extent that you're literally staring at your boss who looks like he's having a heart attack, is enough to give anyone with a decent head on their shoulders, the fear. As it turns out though, this boss was merely taking the prank to the next level, and pulling the iconic reverse UNO card. Did the boss take it too far, by letting things play out for as long as he did? Maybe so. At least we got this story out of the experience. 

1.

Text - r/tifu + Join u/prankeyprank • 1d TIFU by putting my boss in the hospital M I'm typing this from home as my work unexpectedly received a half-day for my antics. So my boss and I have been having a little prank war. Nothing extravagant nothing harmful: just fun little office pranks to keep spirits up. I work in corporate insurance so most of my day is spent behind a desk and it gets very boring at times.

2.

Text - Well my boss pranked me good last week with the help of an IT guy that sent an email which the font size in the email slowly decreased and then all the sudden a picture of a baboons ass popped up with a farting noise (which my boss made sure the sound was all the way up on my little desk speakers). Scared the crap out of me and made my coworkers laugh. Anyway, I'm thinking I gotta get him back. My buddy works on the same floor but has permission to come in a little earlier as he is in man

3.

Text - I waited until after lunch to spring my trap. I walked into his office "what's up boss Blah Blah blah." Hes sitting at his desk, prime position for a spider drop down. Sol go to tie my shoe and unhook the fishing line that I taped to the leg of his desk. I started lowering the spider. Eventually the spider comes down and touches his nose. He starts freaking out and falls out of his chair clutching his chest gasping for air. I just kinda stood there in shock like "SHIT!" Anyway, paramedics

4.

Text - TIFUPDATE putting my boss in the hospital M So l'll begin where I left off yesterday. original post if you haven't seen it Paramedics loaded my boss onto a wheeled stretcher (or whatever they call them) and put him in the back of an ambulance to go off to the hospital. I seriously thought that he was in big trouble because the paramedics were treating him like he was having a severe heart attack. He looked like he was on the verge of dying as they loaded him up.

5.

Text - Anyway, afterwards my other manager tells us all to go home. It was Labor Day so there weren't that many people working. I go home and am freaking out, nervous as hell until my manager called me and told me my boss was stable but it was close. "Come in tomorrow for work at 10am we need to have a discussion" At this point l'm double freaking out because l'm thinking "shit l'm going to get fired over a stupid ass spider prank." I get into work at about 950 and I make the dreaded trip up to

6.

Text - He takes me to my bosses office. Which I thought he was going to ask what the spider on the fishing line was doing there and then, after I answered, fire me. Door was already open and after I walk in my manager tells me to take a seat and then he closes the door after I step in (he stayed out). I sat down, pretty much sweating out of my clothes and all the sudden, to add insult to injury, my boss sneaks up behind me and yells "THOUGHT I WAS DEAD HUH!!!" Well at that point I basically shit

7.

Text - At this point I'm both relieved, terrified, and just generally shook. And he sits down and tells me how he did it. Apparently the manager (my buddy from last post) that let me in early on Labor Day told him about my entire plan. My boss knew about the spider and pretty much planned around my move The fucker literally let a bunch of workers have a half day to foil my prank and got his EMT buddy to make a quick stop by to "treat his heart attack." I'm never pranking my boss again. On a good

Students Mess With Teacher's Plants, Teacher Takes Pro Revenge


This teacher/dad used his apparent superpower of not being affected by poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac to teach some rascal students a valuable lesson in not messing with people's plants. Just picturing their faces when they learned about the stunt that dad had pulled is enough to put a smile on the face. Outside of that glorious lesson, this dad is well on his way to being Poison Ivy's most feared enemy. 

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge + Join u/Zeldaspellfactory • 1y Just Desserts for Destroying Teachers' Plants This happened to my father, not me. I find it rather funny and definitely ProRevenge. My father was a teacher. He taught several subjects during his career, and spent the last fifteen years teaching science. He spent most of his career teaching the more difficult students. One year the teachers were all upset because students kept killing their plants by ripping off the leaves.

2.

Text - My dad wasn't really fond of plants. Even though he didn't like having a lot of plants around the house, he started thinking of ways to get the kids to stop killing the other teachers' plants. Finally he came up with a way to teach the kids not to mess with plants. A few days later, he put 3 potted plants by the window in his classroom. He had a sign by the plants warning kids not to touch the plants because they were dangerous. He told every class that they were to leave the plants alone

3.

Text - He made sure to check the plants near the end of every class. 2 days after putting the plants out, he noticed that a lot of the leaves were missing from one plant. He had all the students line up against a wall and he checked all of the desks for leaves. He didn't find any of them. The next day, two students come in before school with their parents. They want to know what kind of plants he had. They had horrible rashes all over their hands and groin area. Their parents were quite upset at

4.

Text - My father told the parents that every class was warned to not ever touch the plants. He showed them where the sign was and let them see the very clear warning. Then he asked the boys how they got rashes in that area? The boys had to tell their parents that they ripped leaves off of the plants of every teacher they had, and that they thought the sign was just to keep kids away from the plants. When the whole class was lined up so that everything could be searched to find out who destroyed

5.

Text - The boys missed several days of school until the rash cleared up. My father then told each class that the plants were poison ivy. It taught the entire class not to mess with other people's plants. You never know what might happen. It stopped the plant destruction for that year. Of course the administration made a rule that you could not have dangerous plants in the classroom. No one thought to make a rule about this because most people do not plant poison ivy in pots and take them to scho

Dumb and Clever Puns to Love and Hate


Puns are one of those things that even though you might hate, you can't really avoid. Try as you might to avoid them and yell at the people who bring them into your life, but someone will always come back with a sackful of puns to spill all over your life. They're both incredibly clever and horribly dumb at the same time.

Twitter Thread: Student Finds Life Changing Teacher On Twitter


Positive teachers that genuinely care about the well being of their students, as well as cultivating in them a legitimate passion for learning, are some of the most cherished human beings on the planet. As can be expected, a fair number of kids resist the idea of school, hitting the books, and keeping up with all that homework. Put the right teacher in front of them that can get them excited about the whole academic process, and you might actually end up with more stories like this wholesome gem from Raifa Rafiq.

Text - Raifa Rafiq @RaifaRafiq OMFG! Guys. There was literally a teacher at school who I loved so dearly (English teacher - she left when I was in year 10) and I don't even know why but randomly decided to do internet stalkies because l've always wanted to find her and thank her because gosh l love her.

2.

Text - Raifa Rafiq @RaifaRafiq Anyways, successfully found her twitter (didn't know her first name until I remembered a teacher calling her Jenny one day -I searched my memory hard). It's been 10 years and she looks so different and l've only just confirmed it's her because she went to Clares College...

3.

Text - Raifa Rafiq @RaifaRafiq And I was obsessed with Clares College Cambridge because of her. And I don't know why but I got teary seeing her picture and so proud of her she's a head teacher - I want to message her like hey I love you, and you changed the course of my life - but don't want to sound stupid.

Ways People Trolled Their Bosses Without Breaking Rules


Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the various ways that people managed to troll their bosses without actually breaking the rules. You've got to hand it to anyone that puts in the time and effort to troll someone, and manages to pull that trolling off while still playing things by the book.

Text - InsanelnTheManBrain • 8y This story is about my buddy's father, a former university prof. At one time, the university instituted a dress code forcing professors to wear ties. In protest, he bought the most lewd, ridiculous and outrageous ties he could find. Fish ties, dick ties, piano keyboard ties. He became something of a hero to his students who regularly bought him the most offending or off- colour ties they came across. The university ended up rescinding the dress code. He passed awa

He was a bit of a joker and was constantly getting in trouble for coming to work with crazy hair colors, or cornrows (he was a big Italian guy and was told it wasn't appropriate). It was always something. But they couldn't say anything about him wearing sunglasses. So his little rebellion was he would wear the most outrageous sunglasses he could think of. Ones shaped like giant red lips, guitars with the stems sticking up, purp

My command felt that I "didn't deserve a bunch of time off for a surgery" so they said they would approve it but none of the convalescent leave. They refused to sign ANY paperwork. First thing I did was hit them with the regulation stating that they were required to respond to all requests within a certain amount of time (3 days I think). They responded with a "no". So then I had Navy leg

Text - heymrk • 8y I used to work for this small town, twice weekly newspaper. The editor/publisher, mayor, county commissioner and a few other people were skimming tax dollars. When I confronted my boss about it, he told me he'd blackball me if I said anything. So I went to the local television station, tipped them off and they uncovered the story. When they won their awards, my name was added to the list of reporters. I still can't get a job as a journalist, but damn if it didn't feel good. 1.

Some would even ask me on facebook about my job and I would reply- but I knew I could get fired for speaking ill of the company. So I read the HR Handbook and found out as long as I don't specifically name the company, I can't be fired for it. So, about a month later, I realize I can't take this shit anymore and post on facebook how terrible my job is,

Over the span of a couple months, this evolved from 'occassionally' to "every day your shift starts when you get here". After doing this for a couple weeks (still clocking in at my usual 3pm) I

Lead guard is about to shit his pants in front of a ton of guests, so he goes into the utility closet and shits in a

He returned in his grandfather's bonjour from the late 19th century. Top hat and all. The boss kept asking if it wasn't a little hot in tha

Text - MyOwnPath • 8y At my old school, they had rules about hair length (guys), and our teacher got anal about it. The only actual rules were that they couldn't pass our eyebrows or collar-area. Being the witty douchebag I am, I used a shit ton of gel to slick up my hair and do obnoxious things with it. It was all raised, so it never crossed my eyebrows or collar. I got away with it for 2 months, until the principal changed the rules! All just for me :D 580 ...

I was informed of this rule about two hours before the end of my shift, and told that I HAD to comply IMMEDIATELY because I was breaking health code. I politely informed them that no, I was not. This was a store policy -- but I would be happy to come in with my hair up the next day. I didn

I checked the uniform regs and found that while in a working uniform you can wear a V-neck tee. Started wearing them and he took notice as soon as he saw me. I told him that the regs allowed it. He scowled and his only comment was, "One for the blue shirts" a
