Wild goose chases.....

My dad use to pull that on all the newbies at a box factory and also told them to go get a bucket of bolts,lol

 

My trainer at SNI tried to send us for brake fluid and transmission fluid. ...I think we killed it for him because we just stood there and glared at him.

...I think the funniest part is when the maintenance guys play along. "I think we might be out of that. But I'll tell you what, it ain't nothing but -insert item here that's not on base-, so if you can get me some of that I'll make some for you!" Or, "yeah, I think we have some. But I'm out of non-stick glue. Go see if they've got any in the main office and I'll get you your stuff."

But they do still send me on wild goose chases for empties. That's the truth.

 

Non stick glue is a new one

 

Any oxymoron will work...I've done similar outside of this industry when training new people. It always surprised me how many would fall for it.

...but you can't beat the classics.

 

dont forget you need to replace the winter air in the tires with summer air lol

 

Oh yeah! Man, i forgot about that.

...I wonder what the SNI mechanics would say if I called and asked if they did that on my last PM?

 

You should tell the shop you need a new henway.

 

We used eggway same idea I think. I used to pull that on the cb for a laugh. "Hey anybody got a eggway I can borrow for a few minutes?" or "Holy #### there goes an eggway westbound" Somebody fell for it everytime.
