Sent the new kid out
Sent the new kid out, well, he had to go out on a site visit so I asked him on his way in if he could pick me up a set of Occam's Razor's.
As I was out, said it shouldn't be more than five bucks and he could take the money out of petty cash. He asked where to get them, I said you could probably try a number of stores, walmart, dollar store, shoppers drugmart but if you have eliminated those the simplest would be to just try a convenience store I hope he doesn't try googling it on his way out |

In the Army, we always messed with the FNG's (Funny New Guy). We'd send them out to pick up things like "Flight Line, Relative Bearing Grease," etc.

As a senior recruit in boot camp my favorite was to point at the ground and say 'Hey, dropped your comb' to the newbies fresh out of their first haircut (shave).
They always looked! It was done to me and so I passed it on. |

other ones I'd heard of
going to the stores and asking for a long "weight" or sky hooks, left handed screwdriver, and of course there's the old dependable "yard of ale" , I mean that is a thing but funny seeing them ask for it |

My old boss at the car dealership would send the new guys into the owners office around Thanksgiving to ask for their Turkey.
He would tell them, every new employee gets a Turkey their 1st Thanksgiving here. Employee would go stand in the owners doorway like Hello sir, I'm here. Then the owner was like what can I help you with? "Roger sent me for my Turkey" We all would laugh our asses off |

From the hospital:
Surgeons would get into a surgery, suddenly stand up lke s/t was wrong and urgently send the new nurse to supply for fallopian tubes, STAT. A GI (gastro, not soldier) I used to work with would send the annoying residents off to get an extension for the colonoscopy scope. And the nurses pranked me good once by sending me in to 'be there when Mr. X's family arrives, because he just died and they'll need some support'. Turns out he was just one of those old guys who literally sleeps w/ their eyes open. Fortunately he woke up before I told the daughter he was dead. |

I just put my co-worker's priority pager number into the fax machine and hit 're-send'. Other pager jests, paged 2 co-workers to each other, and paged another his own pager number and watched as he automatically called himself...

Funny enough, one workplace I used to work at, the boss had a special relationship with a farm and every Christmas, all the staff would be asked Chicken or Turkey, and on the last day, everyone got either a fresh chicken or Turkey.
wasn't a big company, sub 100 people It was very appreciated Quote:

An actual prank to entirely new flight attendants is to give them flashlights and let them crouch through the cabin to give the emergency exit strips in the hallway some jumpstarts to get them to light

One of the best I saw in the Navy was a couple of FNG's tasked to reverse the carbon paper in a huge box of 5-ply fanfold printer paper. They had a couple of hundred feet of paper stretched out in passageways in Guam trying to figure out how to separate all 5 plies, turn the carbon paper around and get it all back together. Priceless! (I never had the heart to do that with new people myself, though.)

Another one:
After our platoon marched back to the company area after pulling maintenance on our trucks, our platoon sergeant would ask the newbie if he drained the air tank on the 3/4 ton truck. No? Well, double-time back to the motor pool and drain the air tank! Forty five minutes later, the newbie reports back, sergeant asks, "Well?" Newbie: "Yeah, the tank is drained." Laughed our asses off - 3/4 ton trucks do not have air tanks.
