General Discussion Is this just me being soft

I'm all for a good firehouse prank. Don't get me wrong. It's what makes this job great. But isn't it sort of a unwritten rule to not fuck with other people's turnouts. Couple guys on the shift before us decided it would be a great idea for them to fuck with us and saan wrap our lockers before we got there. Our gear is grouped by shifts. And of course before we even get settled in and our gear on the trucks we get a call. Then go to find our lockers saran wrapped. Dick move or not from them?

I would be surprised if they didn't get written up for this. They delayed a response.

Rules of pranks are.

  1. Never fuck with a mans sleep

  2. Never fuck with someone's meal

  3. Never fuck with someones personal items ( gear , car , wallet etc)

  4. Never fuck with someone's family

2 amended as such : 1 of the 12 late arrival's doughnuts has been injected with the liquid death hot sauce, this is why you work w medics. No one is above a bobbytrapped doughnut.

My go-to is to replace the cream filling with tartar sauce, mayo, or ranch. Key to the trick is saving some of the original filling to top off the hole so it looks legit.

Two other keys, do this to a shift who has a doughnut lover, be sure to refrigerate until five minutes before their normal arrive. (I wanna mess with them, not their underwear.)

That's good. Around d here we usually spend all day trying to get each other, the other shifts just catch strays on occasion

Put mayo in the Boston creme ones Put toothpaste in the frosting filled

Watching some of the guys faces as they realized was priceless

We get chicken wings then one super hot wing. One person gets the Russian roulette of wing night.

Even better if the victim doesn't react to the spice.
