While working for a well drilling outfit, there was a jokester who screwed with my lunch. We were working about 10 miles between hell & nowhere, both truck set up and drilling, so if I wanted lunch, I had to walk a long way. I was pissed off, to say the least.

We wore hardhats, but all had ballcaps to wear home. His ballcap got a nice load of used grease smeared all under the brim. His spark plug wires got crossed up, and door handles greased. Both of them. He didn't find out about the passenger side being greased until he picked up his GF that night.

He never mesed with my lunch again.

My Dad was in the Plumbers and Steamfitters and welded. It took me a long time to figure out why he took firecrackers to work occasionally. Apparently, it was a long standing prank to put firecrackers under the work area of the apprentices. When the cutting sparks hit the crackers and went off, the entertainment began.

We used to have a guy at work that would get into people's lunches and steal the desserts out of their lunch bags.

I got tired of it, and settled it with a package of chocolate Zingers, a hypodermic, and a bottle of gentian violet.

He quit the next day.

My son also worked with a guy who would steal the desserts from all the guy's lunches while they were out working in the heat.One guy's wife helped him to "cure" the problem by baking choc. chip cookies made with ExLax.They knew who was doing the stealing but could never catch him in the act. He brought the cookies, passed them out to everyone but the culprit, and sure enough the cookies were missing from several lunch boxes at noontime. Later that afternoon, in 90 degree heat, the cookies worked their magic. The guy dashed into the portapotty, spent an enormous amount of time in there. While he relieved his misery, they wrapped an entire roll of caution tape around the potty so he was stuck inside with his just desserts...so to speak. Their desserts were never missing again.
