Thought I'd start a new post (cause i'm bored) but while I was an apprentice I was told by a few tradies of what they've got apprentices to do in the past (also what they've done to them). i'll start with

 

"Go to the store and ask for a long weight"

 

"Get some air to put in the engine"

 

"Turn the battery upside down to get that last bit of electricity out"

I was made to kiss his naughty place while the older apprentices watched. Then when I became a third year apprentice I got to watch! :hmm:

Spots for the spot welder....

As an apprentice I was asked to get some "backdoor grease". :blush:

And stripped paint.

 

I once told an apprentice that using toothpaste as lube while masturbating was an unbelievable experience.

Sure is.... :hmm: He wouldn't talk to me for weeks.

A set of valve clearances

 

A bucket of compressed air

 

And for the apprentice who gives you the shits, the explosive bit of a party popper, half way inside a cigarette.

 

Puff, puff, boom!

Emphasis on the fact you are aware of the experience.

To an apprentice:

 

Waited till he went to the loo and shoved the fire hose in the window.

 

Can't really remember any other then that.

 

Being an apprentice (whilst I thought I would give sheet metal a go):

 

Lit smoke butts stuck in my pocket.

 

Locked in a steel cabinet only large enough for me to fit in while the outside is hit with hammers and shit.

 

Used to walk out of the shed and straight to the drivers side of the ute, drove 20k's in peak hour traffic with a sign on the passenger door that said "I smoke cock"

 

c**ts...

Gold. I just fell out of my chair.

When i was a 1st year a bloke attached a 24v jump starter to his tool box and told me to get him spanners, My fingers tingled and took me about 15 mins to work it out. The same bloke also swapped the leads around on my V6 corona, Ran like a sack of shit obviously.

Yeah, I was quite popular that arvo with looks and beeps, did not know why, even had one of the guys I worked with driving up beside me and pissing himself laughing.

 

Went from Wacol to Booval like that.

the good old wet tissue inside the spark plug lead

Not an apprentice, but I just did a five week course where everybody had a laptop with the course notes on it.

 

After lunch on one day, I plugged my mouse into my neighbours laptop, and then spent an hour and a half changing pages every time he looked up. I thought he was going to bury the laptop in my head when he found out. :lolcry:

There was one guy from Cairns on the course who turned 50 while we were down there, he was teaching some of the young blokes how it's all done.

 

They ended up destitute in the gutter as Tony powered on to his next bottle of red! :lolcry:

While doing my apprenticeship for 2 and a half years under supervision from psycho steve (anybody in the drag racing world will know him from the ex junkyard dogs drag team) i coped, left handed screwdriver, i got greased (had bearing grease sprayed at high pressure into my hair), attempted to set me on fire with brakecleaner (which failed quite badly and ended up with his hair on fire and all his facial hairs gone(that'll teach ya psycho steve)), nearly run over with a truck, never got the chance to do anything stupid to any other apprentices though :lolcry:
