After reading this blog you will find that I have a lot of extra time on my hands. But a lot of stuff happens regardless. Anyways the extra time I always find ways to fill my day with office pranks. Because there is nothing I love more than a good office prank. Well this specific one fell right into my hands and I couldn't let it go.
A lot of people were registering to vote for the upcoming elections and this one guy had to go because his shift was over so he gave his information to his brother. Well as you know if you have ever registered to vote that you have to sign them before you mail them in. Well he wasn't able to sign his so he had his brother sign his. I pointed out how that was a felony, but he even had a picture of his brother signature that he had emailed to him.
Well the guy had no idea that I was aware of anything that had transpired. So the owner of the security company came out the next day. I like to call him dad. Anyways I told him about it so that he could call him and give him a good scare. Which he was all for.
So we called him into the office and I didn't say a word. I planned it all, and when it came down to it I just wanted to admire my perfect office prank.
He sits down and asks whats up. My dad starts off by saying that he got a call from homeland security about one of his guards being apart of some voter fraud. The guard then started to look real nervous and said"Voter Fraud?" My dad continued. "yes apparently they have this photo of your signature that they got on your email as well as your registration card that looks nothing like your real signature" The Guard starts to turn colors and asks "Oh your not allowed to do that?" My dad then told him "No, it is a felony. But the best thing for you to do is go ahead and just turn yourself in."
The guard looks like he is about to break down. I already thought we took it a bit to far, but sensing this my dad told him it was just a prank.
I don't think I can describe the face I got for that from him. Almost like he was going to try and hit me, but so relieved at the same time. He said that he was freaking out and about to just run. We all started laughing out loud and said nah it was just a office prank.
I called him later that day to make sure he was alright. He told me yeah he was fine and that it was a great prank, but now I know he was going to get me back. I said I know and that I am waiting for a good one.
This is one on my favorite stories. I again wasn't here for it, but I heard about it from two people and read the write ups and incident reports about it. It all happened again in the command center. The post that always has to be manned and all you have to look at are 3 monitors that show all the cameras on site, of nothing happening.
Well there was this one guy who worked it pretty regularly. But he also had the reputation of falling asleep a lot in there, but he had never been caught. Well this time he did, and it ended up being one of the funniest things in the world. And he did not get fired for it either. In fact I think he got moved to 2nd shift soon after this happened.
It all started when one of the guards was going to the command center to give the guy a break. So he could stretch his legs, get something to eat, anything like that before he would be tied down again for another few hours. Well as soon as he walked in the door he found the guy sawing some serious logs. The guy was OUT. So the awake guard leaves and calls the supervisor over to show him, because he didn't know what to do. Apparently he never has heard of cover for me.
So the supervisor walks in there and starts trying to wake him up. He says his name once, twice, three times. The guy is still not stirring. And what happens next everyone swears happened. The supervisor starts yelling his name right in his ear and this dude is still out. He's not playing around, but he is really out of it. They had no idea what to do. If I was there I would of said pour water on him.
The supervisor gets real mad and starts to slap the dude. The guy instantly wakes up and wonders what the hell is going on. They told me to think of someone sleeping really hard and then start banging pots around and watch them freak out. That is what this guy did. So imagine if you will this big burly supervisor type person just slapping this guard back and forth not knowing what the hell is going on and on top of that he is still half asleep.
