My grandpa used to have a co-worker who would stop by his office every day to pilfer his tobacco bowl... back in the day when smoking pipes in the office was normal. My gpa got sick of it so took some old rubber bands, finely chopped them up, and mixed them into the top layer. Guy came one day and pilfered a healthy mix of tobacco & rubber bands. Never came by to "chat" again.
Some other options : Hot pepper or any spice, fresh poison ivy (manipulate with surgical gloves), poppy seeds (especially if there are rumours of drug testing coming).
@@Kualinar The poison ivy would be nasty, but could potentially have harmed others with the smoke. Remember this was a time when smoking in the office was normal, so we're talking 60s or 70s. No drug test at that time.
@@HostileTakeover2 There where drug tests as early as the 40's. Drug tests for opium use. Poppy seeds WILL make you detect opium positive for 20 to 30 day... And that's just from one bite of a Danish containing some poppy seeds. A single bagel garnished with poppy seeds will make you detect positive for up to 2 months.
My understanding of the UK is when you have a renter agreement and you take the deposit, you have to take the deposit to a shared gov account that hold the money. if the landlord doesn't do it, you can get him serious trouble. That's what I heard
By trade I am a finish carpenter and I know exactly what you mean about someone "borrowing" your tools . The thief doesn't get away with it for long and nobody will work with them again.
I was expecting the writer of the Waitrose story to scan his cart's items when the opportunity arose and then tell the checkout person that she'd paid for his items as an apology.
Bridge tender in the control room (apparently, that is the name after a Google search). I thought it was the lift house, but age has dulled my mind. If the bridge doesn't lift, is that an erectile dysfunction?
Re the office thief: My petty revenge. One place I worked the department boss would sneak up on my lunch when my back was turned towards it and steal my afternoon cookies, or cupcake, whatever snack my wife had made me. I heard my lunch bag rattling on Wednesday afternoon, shutdown my lathe, and turned around. But by then he was gone. Same thing on Thursday, but this time I turned around quicker and caught him red handed. Then he said, "It's okay I'm only taking the broken ones." Then he snapped one of my chocolate chip cookies in half and ran off with it. On the way home I stopped at the village market and bought a box brownie mix and an Ex-Lax bar. At home I explained to my wife and she made me a tray of brownies and reserved some of the mix for a tiny pie tin. The mix in the pie tin had four doses of the extra ingredient, while the tray did not. Friday at work I told everyone except the boss, to open my center desk drawer and help them selves to a brownie. By noon they were gone. I kept my lunch in my desk drawer out of sight. But the tiny pie tin I left on my desk wrapped in aluminum foil. And sure enough in the afternoon I heard the aluminum foil crinkle. I turned around slowly and didn't see anyone, but the pie tin was gone. That's when I went out into the hall and put a large sheet metal screw under the bathroom door. I needed a #3 Phillips screwdriver to get it tight enough. About an hour goes by and the department secretary called me and told me the boss ran out of his office and was in the hall screaming. I walked over and we took a look, boss was gone. I pointed out the screw and explained about the special brownies. We looked in the boss's office and found the empty pie tin. Yes I did remove the screw. Some three hours later I clocked out and went home. Still no sign of the boss. He had to go to the next nearest bathroom several hundred feet away to get there. When I looked the local porter was cleaning the floor and bitching about it. No one ever took any of my cookies ever again. Uncle John can repost this if you so desire.
Ardbeg is great scotch with strong smoky flavour. Also it's pretty expensive. I wish I could afford it, but here in northern Europe with extra taxes on alcohol it's way too expensive! EDIT: I checked, for the real Ardbeg flavor you need to have €125 - €1100 to spend on a single bottle.
…Why wouldn’t you put your cart away if it’s pouring rain? You’re already wet, what more is going to happen to you? (Cue segue into Uncle Jon Soaps, which you missed for today’s video.)
I’m no whisky connoisseur so I googled Ardbeg. Premium whisky from Islay, Scotland. In Canada the price for a bottle range from $80 on sale for a 10 year old single malt to $1,450 for a 25 year old single malt! Expensive stuff!
Ex printer tech here... that paper story is pretty much impossible, even the cheapest copy paper aint gonna jam your printer. Nore does the rest of it make sense, because he claims he was hiding the good stuff in a draw... why hadn't he done that before? When people start taking my crap i lock it away, immediately , i don't wait months hoping it will stop.
At my state IT department, I was the "Property Custodian", tasked with doing inventory on PCs, printers, monitors, etc. I was also "voluntold" to be "the printer guy", having to stock paper, clear jams, call the tech if the printer needed fixed. My programming team got switched to different floors periodically, but my Custodian duties took me all over our 17 floor building. At one time the supervisor wasn't ordering paper for us on the 11th floor, while the computer room in the second basement (B2) had stacks of paper for their printers/copiers. So when our paper ran out I'd take a roller cart down and stock up from their supply, and bring it up. They were so used to me being all around the building, nobody said a word. 😅
I had a cheap boss who was constantly going for the cheapest copy paper. Have you ever tried the stuff that doesn't come in reams, just loose in the box? The stuff we got for about one month was like that, and the edges frequently had little diagonal cuts in them, and our high capacity copier would jam every hundred pages or so, an those little edge cuts would cause those pages to catch and shred themselves. This happened sometime between early 1999 and 2004, so maybe that paper isn't available anymore.
He is the CART NARCS his name is sebastion and he works for the woody show that you can listen to their podcast if u want to but yes as he puts it he polices the carts. Funny stuff to watch on youtube
Ive seen picthre of people zip tie the carts (or for our non Americans trollies) to the vehicles. Point being is dont be a massive throbbing bell end and I wont be a massive irritated chocolate star fish irritated by a massive throbbing bell emd.

I loved the nail pouch story. It's great when you can make a guy get revenge on himself.
It's always a good idea to get permission from your boss or manager before filming things like how you operate the bridge.
Also, the relevant memes you use make these videos so much better!

Revenge, like gazpacho soup, is best served cold, precise, and without mercy.
Because you can never have enough precision in your soup
Appreciate the readings as usual along with your stories and commentary.

More videos yaaaa.
about your bridge tender job/operation.....is the bridge on-demand or on a schedule like hourly?
On demand. But, they have to either call the landline or via radio.

Damn.. that would have been a good ad🤣
I agree with both points.

Also said he was buying the paper himself, which doesn't make sense unless it's a home office.

❤Yay! New upload.
Ardbeg is a delicious, peated Scotch.
Yeah, and I would not put it in a category with bourbon. Booh you John ;).
good video :)
I'll be happy if all you did was point the camera out the window while lifting the bridge
