Get your show tickets here, PERTH next week: www.friendlyjordies.com/live-show But far, far more importantly. Mechanics: SEND ME YOUR STORIES. Confess your sins or just tell me crazy things that happened on the job. We'll be making that into the next video.
Not a mechanic but I heard of a bloke who left his car parked under a streetlight for 3 days and when he got back it was covered in a literal inch of shit because there were pelicans roosting above it. Also when are you going to do taxi drivers confess their sins? Am I going to have to pull a tylchr here?
it was flour bombs at our school, painted the school a off white, ruined the carpets in a dozen rooms lol speaking of crucifixion, it wasnt at our school but we stuck porno mags onto the bibles on catholic schools statues with super glue. a lot of super glue
Speaking of pranks gone wrong really sorry about fire bombing your house😢. You were supposed to be home😮 it was only a flaming paper bag of dog shit that got out of hand. Turns out dry turds are extremely flammable and the methane released creates a sizable explosion
My dad a mechanic for lube mobile. The worse one he got was working on a crazy cat lady car. So naturally the car had cat poo and piss through it and stunk to high heaven. I can't Remember what was wrong with the car but he had to spend multiple days fixing it. He asked after the first day to clean the car but she refused so the couple time he went back he would take the fattest dumps possible into a plastic bag and leave them outside her bedroom window
During my brothers muck-up day, a couple of students kidnapped the pig from the school farm. They were leading the pig from classroom to classroom to avoid the flock of teachers trying to hunt down the pig. The chase went on all day. They only stopped to get the chicken fingers from the canteen before they sold out and they forgot where they left the pig
Naw, pigs are calm and easy to catch. the whole joke is about bringing 3 pigs, and write 1, 2 and 4 on them so they spend the day looking for 3. None of what you said happened.
@@andrethegiant6969 I'd say it is better to have just one with a number 2 or 3... As at that point teachers are having the pre-panic of what is about to happen... And it never comes :P
I salute all the cleaners and groundskeepers out there for putting up with this. All my grade did was arm every student with water balloons and bully the year 7s, 8s and 9s.
That sounds like my school, except 1) they also had flour and ketchup bombs, and 2) it was an army of seniors from multiple schools raiding our school My older brother was involved, and my younger brother and I water bombed him when he got home, payback :P
I don't get it can someone please explain this joke. EDIT: Holy shit, so many people can't read sarcasm, How dumb do you think people are. It's literally the channel name no need to explain jfc.
It’s actually totally normal for a private school’s suppressed students to suddenly go nuts. As someone who went to one for 15 years, I saw it yearly. Those kids are honestly wilder than public school kids sometimes.
During a university prank week legend has it that a student approached a group of council workers doing roadworks on the entrance to the University of Queensland and warned them that students dressed as police for prank week were causing problems. The same student approached some police officers and said there were a group of students dressed as council workers for prank week were digging up the road. Do I need to explain the outcome?
This actually kind of ties into both this question and your last one, but it applies to my dad. He went to a private school which was known for how many kids went on into the automotive trade, and on their muck up day back in the 80s they decided they were sick of the corporal punishment they received on a daily basis. Keep in mind, many of them were apprentices at this point and so were already solidly employed and didn't care about school. So they disassembled a cheap Morris Minor (a small car) they'd all bought, broke into the school overnight, and quickly reassembled it in the principal's office (on the second floor) for him to find in the morning. It was obviously impossible to remove easily and had to be professionally removed via crane. Absolute crackheads.
I figured "Muck-Up Day" was more like what we'd call a "senior prank" Yes, people have been arrested for insane pranks like filling a whole school with thousands of ladybugs.
One of the year 10 muck up days, someone turned all the gas taps on in the science rooms. All taps and every single bench in every science room. Someone passed out and someone else smelt the gas as they came along and I am amazed that the school didn't go sky high since it was over a weekend leaking gas AND right next to a caravan park.
We called it senior skip day, because our prank was that over 90% of the class just skipped. There would usually be a small prank on the same day somewhere outside. There was an attempt to shutdown the school for the day for everyone by supergluing the locks. He got caught. Slap on the wrist for him. i think his parents paid for the locks, and he had community service ontop of being the maintenance mans apprentice for the day that he replaced them all.
One year, somebody released 3 pigs into the school labeled 1,2, and 4 for the senior prank. Another year somebody straight up put a car on the roof. Absolutely insane antics in America
Wanted to add another muck up day story to the growing list. Our school was a no uniform, public school in a very wealthy neighbourhood... the locals absolutely hated us. Our muck up day got cancelled because the YR12s all bought white paint suits from Bunnings, covered their faces with masks and stormed into the school at one co-ordinated moment, during lunch, to start total chaos of egging and pranks. The local public saw them running in and called the police thinking there was a terrorist attack underway. Everyone was laughing and running away as teachers and students alike were getting egged. Then they put the school into lockdown and we were told to go into our nearest classroom. I distinctly remember crying with laughter and looking out the window of our science classroom, watching the principal try to "cover" this kid who was bleeding from the face. She was also copping the eggs. It was like watching a comedic war movie, such an absurd scene... Once the school yard was empty the YR12s ran from the building and went to a local beach, running from the bomb squad that had been called. It was almost worth having our own one cancelled just to have watched that one unfold.
We have the Senior Prank in the US. It’s never a designated day, but at some point during the school year, usually at the beginning or end, is when the prank happens.
At my school the old principal was the wife of the current principal, and had given some seniors the spare keys to his truck. They drove it up onto the sidewalk in front of the school, wrapped it in Saran wrap, spray-painted year of 2021 on it's, and was shooting cans of silly string at anyone who walked by
My old chemistry teacher was in on it for a couple of years. Butyric acid when esterified turns into the smell of strawberries (ethyl butyrate). Butyric acid also happens to smell like crusty socks and rancid butter. It's pungent and volatile prior to the reaction, so it will permeate the HVAC system, making the whole building smell like a rancid gym bag. When the administrators come looking to see what stinks, the chemistry lab smells like a field of strawberries, so they would end up looking elsewhere. He always chose the hottest day of the school year (typically late May) to run that lab just to prime the HVAC with that awful smell. Good times.
Not a "Muck up day" or "Senior prank day" for my fellow Americans - but I went to high school when Star Wars Revenge of the Sith was coming out to theaters. One of my friends practiced martial arts and started bringing his lightsaber to school in the weeks leading up to premiere. Within a week of the release more and more kids would bring their lightsabers to school, inspired by his antics. The day before the movie released in theaters somewhere in the ballpark of 100-150 kids had lightsabers in the main quad by the library. It had been boiling over for a week and finally all of us started a massive 100+ man free for all. My high school was about 15% white, and our librarian was from the midwest and not used to being around so many "ehtnics"... we're talking she thought the Filipino kids were all Mexican, and couldn't understand the difference. Anyway, she sees a massive amount of kids fighting and immediately calls the front office to report a massive gang fight occurring in the main quad. Immediately police are called and the manly teachers - Until the police could get there the PE teachers, the woodshop teachers, and the muscular bro teachers all rallied up and rushed to do what they could to stop the fight. They got there completely panicked and freaking out, ready to kick ass and break kids skulls... only to see 100+ kids smacking each other with plastic laser swords, with nearly every single kid making the lightsaber sounds (none of us even bothered to turn on the sound effects of the lightsabers). Later it was established that this was very very much a gang fight.... a Gang fight between the Dark Side and Light Side of the Force.
Holy shit Americans... calling the cops to report a gang fight for the highschool equivalent of a bunch of neckbeards playing dungeons and dragons. Did the cops laugh when they got there?
@@mlgfails2727 so a fantasy movie and a fantasy game is a false equivalence? Is that because ultra masculine gigachads watch space movies and nerds play D&D? What's the problem here?
My high school threw a fit when someone put a giant teddy bear on the roof. They said it cost tens of thousands of dollars to remove. There is an elevator up to the roof. It fit in the elevator.
Our muck up day, we had a large group of students hit up the nearby Coles and buy every single whole fish from the deli, then take them around between classes. Teachers were on the ball and told all the participants to put them in the big bins out back by the end of first period. But of course more than half ended up hidden all over the school, in garden beds, down drains, on the roofs, in the wheel wells of teachers cars, fermenting all day in the QLD heat. I heard a rumor that years later some workers installing solar panels found a bunch of fish skeletons on top of the buildings.
I was in a gifted program in primary school and the thing I remember most about it was a lesson about the very basics of engineering. Sounds fancier than it is, it was basically just "triangles are the strongest shape". But the part that sticks in my mind was after the lesson, when we were divided up into groups and challenged to build the tallest structure we could out of dry pasta. Whoever built the tallest structure that could support a bag of marshmallows would win the bag. Given that we were just taught about triangles being the strongest shape, every group but ours went for some cone or pyramid shaped thing with a platform on top, but I convinced my group to just make a basic ass square jenga tower. Our structure was two centimetres tall, compared to the 10 or 15 cm that all the other groups had. But every single one of their creations failed because the platform wasn't rigid enough and the marshmallows fell off.
Hey Jordan/ friendlyjordies Team, if your looking other jobs to do a video on: FINE DINING or just expensive sit in restaurants are usually a gold mine! as someone who worked 7 years in this exact industry to the point where I even waited on local politicians (Julia Gillard was surprisingly the nicest one I’ve served as a waitress) you really see how scummy these people who are trusted with powerful positions are. Personally the amount of drugs (mostly coke) I’ve had to wipe off of expensive marble bathroom counter tops would make Pablo Escobar feel right at home and the way upper class people treat bar staff and wait staff really shows how they actually feel about the Average Australian. I’ve got a handful of stories and I know other people who have had to work in hospitality who have a LOT of horror stories.
hahahaha yeah. 5 years in fine dining. I always found people who had achieved some sort of local australian fame to be some of the most egotistical gronks i’ve ran in to, no, i don’t care that you were in one season of home and away or any other australian tv series, no i’m not cooking off the menu for you, no, you can’t harass the wait staff.
We had a prank day in Canada and it actually went horribly. Most of us had a talent day that ended with someone pouring lubricant through the lunchroom, I'm talking a full barrel. But on the other side, someone put a ton of ex-lax in the science teachers coffee. Almost killed him, and they got charged and had a civil lawsuit and had to pay his doctors fees and got it all banned. and got expelled before graduation.
In what province can you sue a child for healthcare costs of all things? Edit: Apparently its actually a thing for personal injury cases and they will technically be represented by a "litiguation guardian"
Oh dear god THE PAIN of the Drain in the vain that no clench can contain. A Super Choc Thick Shake or the Lax into the food we'd cook in food tech knowing it'd go straight to the teachers lounges. Always hated cooking a mad cake and never getting it cause we "we're cooking for a teachers conference". wouldn't have cooked it if I'd known that, revenge was sweet.. And draining....
Having been only a cadet myself, we still had some fun moments as well. Such as this one time we were on a week long summer camp, and we were all in our bunks about an hour before lights out and this big arse hornet just stumbled in through the open window on the other side of the room. So a couple guys were hesitantly trying to catch the thing, while some others were just staring at these guys trying not to get stung like a bunch of gormless muppets all of us joking all the way. And low and behold there was me, in my immature wisdom, spraying my balls with the bug repellant i brought with me like it was some kind of black magic protection spell. This was the same camp where a different guy tried downing a bottle of the Tabasco sauce from the ration packs as a bet. And one last one, as we shared the sight with the army cadets there was no shortage of low brow graffiti on the walls and doors of the portable cabin toilets they had set up in one of the locations, complete with a wank tally. Which we decided was too short and made our own about 2 times longer with a little message at the bottom saying “and I’m still not tired”. Best one in there however was a big arse cartoon style biro picture of hitler on the back of one of the doors so when you closed it it read “Hitler watches you poo” Good times
buddy of mine was in a submarine for a while and just the simple story of every morning all the dudes in their bunks beating off at the same time every morning is more than hilarious. and thats not even 'an incident'
I helped to absolutely flood the admin area with crickets Originally, it was only supposed to be in the admin area, but the infestation spread to basically every other part of the school, and I saw some running around near the neighbouring buildings and on the oval Heard that the principal got absolutely pissed but we never got punished Some kid also smeared shit on every single chair in the library the day prior
All through high school every year they would announce on the P.A. system that anyone doing these sorts of "pranks" would be expelled without receiving their diploma, I always thought that it was obvious and I wondered why they felt the need to make such an announcement, apparently this is why. I just don't understand why anyone would do such a thing let alone enough people that it's a yearly problem, these are your fellow students that you are hurting and the teachers and blue collar workers who are far too underpaid for what they do. I know my high school experience is not representative of everyone's but the students and teachers at my school had witness so much death and suffering, I just can't imagine having the desire to intentionally add even the most minor inconvenience or annoyance to anyone's plate let alone some of the things described here, they risk hurting yourself and others and also risk aggravating the most dangerous kinds of people.
Crickets! What did you expect, that these little bugs famous for jumping around a lot would just sit calmly in one spot until the tragically underpaid janitor would come and scoop it up? Oh well, at least any local lizards would've had a great time.
Oi you didnt go to Kambrya did ya? That sounds crazy similar to a prank somone pulled on our admin block. Hectic work mate great to hear you never got done.
I was a newbie teacher at a private [Anglican] school in country Victoria in the early '70's. The Year 12 students picked up my car, a VW Beetle, and placed it in the chapel before the service on Monday morning. You can imagine the reaction when we all filed in at 0800 for the service! I think the minister refused to conduct proceedings until the boys picked it up and took it out through the vestry doors. I just feigned ignorance, "What? Nah, not mine!"
There were several in our school We ziptied a bunch of bags together along a 25m long backrack; making one giant ass chain Plus put those hydrogen sulphide fart bombs next to the aircon vents A friend who's family had a farm brought 3 chickens with the ole 1, 2 and 4 written on them and spread them throughout the admin building Though the thing that got anything serious banned was someone throwing a mattress in the pool and having to get craned out
Our school banned it due people pissing in water pistols. It was like a school massacre, people running and screaming everywhere, people hiding and the teachers going off their heads. One of the teachers also had his Mini Cooper carried up onto the second floor, right outside his classroom🤣. The herbicide on the grass was a common one!
Why would you ever do something like that? If you piss on the wrong person you could lose an ear if you think there is no risk of something like that happening then those people don't deserve to be pissed on.
@@maltyfredboop What is wrong with you? I am talking about why harassing people on a mass scale is a bad thing which I shouldn't need to do in the first place and your response is "this must be an old person who hates fun". Also wasn't the whole thing that this used to be much more severe in the "old days" calling me a "boomer" doesn't even make any sense.
@@natedigger5678 That was just an example, let me give you another one, consider that maybe what you just said to me means I don't like you and I don't want you to take this as a threat but why risk aggravating someone you know nothing about for a joke? Tell me why did you write your comment? Did you not know it would make me upset or did you intentionally try to make me upset? If it's the latter then why do you think this complete stranger is deserving of your harassment?
@@maltyfredboop No it's not "kids" it's just you. Consider what you are really doing right now, you are defending peeing in a water pistol and spraying people with it, that is not just a crime that is literally considered a war crime it's in the geneva convention look it up. And that's not even mentioning that you are harassing someone for pointing out that such an obviously wrong thing is wrong and being blatantly ageist to someone who you don't even know how old they are.
We call it senior prank in the states. 1: how does “banning” pranks change anything? Were students allowed to ride dirt bikes inside before that? 2: the year before mine in HS decided to set off a bunch of fireworks in the gym, but they attached timers to them which classified them as IEDs so the FBI came. They all went to prison (the least was a year and the most was 4 years I believe)
Ok, so I got a few, starting with the tame one 1. Some mad lad Made all the projectors and TVs in the school cast his screen (they were all wireless), he played a few levels of hotline Miami (pretty good game BTW, also I assume he did this on his personal laptop or something), and then played a 10 hr video of silence occasionally broken up by a noise (I think it was the sad SpongeBob sound effect). He somehow didn’t get caught. 2. It began normally, but then I went to the bathroom, and someone walked in with a duffel bag, he went into a stall, opened it and it was full of “objects representing the male genitalia” (if you catch my drift). He than put one on each stall door, the mirror, and the wall, and left. Turns out he/she was putting them everywhere, the bathroom, classrooms, I even heard he somehow got one on the school mascot costume (there’s one on display that’s always locked)
In the US we do senior pranks - I taught in Louisiana for a short time and heard a nasty one from one of the custodians (who are the ones who actually have to deal with all of this crap anyway, rather than the teachers or administrators they're usually aimed at punishing). On the last day the seniors had a big picnic lunch and silly games and such. Being Louisiana, the lunch was a crawfish boil. The kids collected an entire garbage bag full of crawfish leftovers, went into the school, and poured it into the space behind a bank of lockers. There was a thin metal panel at the end of the lockers, which themselves were just metal boxes with a gap between their backs and the wall - remove the panel, fill the gap as far as possible, replace the panel, done. The building always stank of crawfish for the day of the boil and for a day or two later because of the mess they'd make in the lawn, but this atrocity managed to make it to the weekend before really starting to rot, and it was unspeakably foul the next Monday when the custodians found horrid stank juice spreading into the hallway from under the lockers.
muckup day was banned at my school a few years back basically, one of the farm boys had gone home a few days early and come back with a 2 ton cow. they locked the cow in the teachers offices in the maths / commerce block. Said cow proceeded to eat almost all the papers and was found on the Monday, 3 days later. it had shit all over the floor of the offices. the cover for this was stupider. some other student brought in an airsoft rifle and accidentally caused a mass shooter alarm as he had not warned any teachers so they all thought he had a rifle with live ammunition.
At the end of term two, during the heatwave in NSW a few weeks ago, the entire year 12 grade (excluding me) came up with an idea for an unannounced muck-up prank. For some reason, the school gathered all the students under the massive veranda and announced which sports they would attend. So most of the year 12 students had water guns, balloons, and bins full of water and proceeded to bombard the entire school, including the teachers and the principal. Apparently no one was spared and multiple teachers had their phones destroyed due to the water. Last year one of the year 12 studens got a dildo called the Moby huge and glued it to the main playground and coverd it in lube. I have no idea who did it but the school denies it ever happend.
Sadly couldn't write this in the previous post for the video, but the reason our muck up day was banned was one year a group of the year 12 boys stole a set of full sized rugby league posts and to make it even more impressive they were the ones that didn't come apart! Everyone that did it has kept quiet and no one actually knows how they pulled it off and no one that lived nearby heard anything, they literally vanished like a fart in the wind
@Azmania3000 fun fact: 'Munted' is also used by Aussies (mostly younger than 30) to describe how fucked up on drugs they are. E.g. "I took 3 Pills last night and I was SOOO Munted!!"
I'm from the UK and went to school there. We don't have muck up day. We _used_ to have a tradition when on the last day of school, the departing 11th years would write messages on each other's uniforms in marker pen, but now schools have official leaver's jackets. It's all gone corporate I tell you! Having said that, one lad did decide to launch a rocket down the school corridor. It was mad.
This is in the Northern Territory. The cohort of year 12s ahead of my year level had disassembled a teacher's car and reassembled it on the roof. It was the prank that topped everything before it, including the Japanese in WW2 that decided to bomb my school. Don't exactly know what happened to them. Though muck up day wasn't banned after that. Rather there was a police check point on the road leading up to the school where your car is checked for anything sinister and you're breathalysed.
I've got one for the mechanics episode. About 15 years ago I worked for one of the dealership mechanics in Maitland. One time a customer came in and said there was a funny smell coming from her car. The customer left the car in the morning to pick it up in the afternoon but the mechanic only needed a few seconds to figure out what the problem was. Turns out when an engine cools down in the middle of winter it becomes a nice little spot for a furry friend to nestle up in. Between the mechanics they had to draw straws to decided who had to tell her. The guy who lost when he spoke to the customer began with "you missing a cat?" I drew the straw to have to throw the charred cat into the dumpster after.
At my highschool during the muckup for my year many things happened. Cherry bombs in toilets, people shooting off fireworks etc. The worst and probably most dangerous one was in the middle of the quad where everyone walked to go between classes and a lot of people were there during lunch (when this happened). Someone got one of the trash bins which were the round metal ones, got one of those cubes of fireworks that have like 36 or so rockets in them that fire off sequentially after you light it after a like 1-2 second delay for each rocket, and taped it inside pointing out of the bin. They lit the fuse and pushed the bin so it started rolling in a circle, the firing of the rockets made it keep moving so it shot rockets everywhere, people were running for their lives.
Sounds like how I got muck up day banned we had muck up day at my school every year yr 1 to yr 12 for the last day of school I threw fire crackers in class rooms roller blading around snapped sticks in every bubbler in the school took shits in tuck shop bags and hocked em in and at the office smoking on school grounds lol kicked bins over trashed empty class rooms got bad enough the cops had to follow me around the school and I took off roller bladed to my Nan's house and my dad whooped my ass for smoking out of all of the things lol😅
Some legend painted a zebra crossing and road markings out the front of the school to improve student safety. The school pressure washed it off a few days later, only painting a proper zebra crossing + road lines years later.
Motor trade story:- I worked at a famous UK tyre shop in the richest area in town most of our customers were professional types( lawyer's CEOs etc) well educated types, no common sense. We had a lady bring in a wellington boot(gumboot in aus)and asked if we could repair a hole in it, we told her we're not a cobbler we repair CAR tyres, this when she went and shouted " I was in here yesterday you fixed a puncture in someone's boot(trunk?) This was the point we explained it was the spare wheel in the boot(trunk) not a shoe. 😅
My mate runs a muffler repair place and usually has custies drop their car or truck off the night before. One day he went to bring a car into the garage to work on it when he saw something move inside of it so he jumped back. Upon going back to look inside he found multiple chickens. Both him and the custie had no clue where the chickens came from but they made on heck of a mess. They ended up just letting the chickens out and they disappeared into a nearby bush.
We have senior pranks in the US. My class’s prank was actually pretty cool. Our auto tech class had a secret sign up for the prank, organized teams, rented equipment, and put instructional videos for each team on Ebaums world- TH-cam wasn’t a thing yet. A few days before graduation we towed the principals car to school, stripped it down completely to singular nuts and bolts, put the empty car body on top of the school, and scattered all the parts of the car in different classrooms around the school. We left a note saying we would put it all back together after we graduated. That principal retired recently and said it was one of the most memorable pranks he ever dealt with.
The leadership/student council at my school did a controlled opposition thing for senior pranks (US equivalent of muck up day) and took all the chairs out of the classrooms. This was not well recieved by the student body, because we had to carry the chairs back inside. For context, my school was a magnet school for all the nerds and theater kids. The closest we had to sports was a mock trial team. If anyone had actually decided to do a prank, it would either involve explosions or cyber crimes. Or maybe one of the theater kids running around with realistic gore makeup.
Our version of "muck up day" was a grad prank for our grade 12 graduates. Our high school banned it quite a few years ago now because the seniors decided to have a food fight in the cafeteria with raw meat. It spilled out into the hallway before staff put a stop to it. The cafeteria was closed until it could be cleaned up and sanitized. Poor janitors were cleaning for over a week because the meat got into all the nooks and crannies (and yes, the air vents).
I spent most of my muck-up week smoking weed with my school bus driver. He was an old islander version of Otto from The Simpsons who would weak a leather jacket that often stunk of weed and Old Brute.
Love your work!!😂 . Would love to one day possibly, see your findings on the dodgy practices of New Zealands leading big, orange, vehicle safety inspection company and managements behaviour towards safety and floor staff. Yours is the best TH-cam channel I've seen in forever!! Keep it up!😂❤
Not Australian, but our school in the US has “Senior Pranks” ofc. My senior year students somehow snuck in late at night, wrote outside and inside the school “2K18” in shaving cream all over the sidewalks, parking lots, and hallways, they TP’d the trees out front in tons of toilet paper, and had glitter and paper shavings everywhere in every hallway. They also put pictures of our principal with his dog photoshopped onto his head all around their office. Safe to say the next year they banned senior pranks.
I don't remember any decent senior pranks happening when I was in school but people did talk about ideas for them. Besides the numbered chicken idea the other livestock idea people talked about was getting a cow all the way upstairs because supposedly it was very hard to make them walk down stairs.
Sad I didn't get my stories in but I have two. One was less ingenious, the year above me just covered the deputy principles car (who was fighting cancer at the time) completely from top to bottom in Vaseline. The other story involves a commonly used staircase in the school that had 2 poles at the top and 2 poles at the bottom of the stairs. The year 12s made a massive spiders web of gladwrap covered with honey and pushed year 7s into it who then became miserably trapped and sticky. It was amazing.
The first one there is just sad. Never mess with a persons car, let alone a dude fighting cancer. The second one.. nah that’s good - no mercy for stooges!
I was the supervisor for a Bus workshop in Perth. It was a private company that had a lot of school run contracts, one of the school busses had a VERY loose kingpin (holds the entire wheel hub assembly to the front axle), so loose that you could hear it knocking with any movement. I took it off the road and found it needed special tooling from the manufacturer to repair, the big boss kept scheduling it for school runs saying it was too important to take off the road. 6 months went by with me sending weekly emails saying it needs to go in for repairs, thinking 50 kids were about to be involved in a bus crash any day, I eventually left the company for obvious reasons and on my last week, took the bus off the schedule, called the manufacturer and dropped it off myself without telling anyone. The apprentice told me recently it took 4 months to repair due to critical damage with a $35,000 bill at the end
the only mechanic story i know is about a friend going out to start his car in the morning. he turns the key and is greeted by the sound of his cat, who apparently snuggled up to the engine for warmth, getting caught up in the serpentine/accessory belt. the sound was quite unique, apparently.
Finally my time to shine- My favorite it customers coming in and either knowing less than nothing… or thinking they know what’s up but actually having no clue. One customer told me “their car pulls to the right”. I went for a test drive and the steering wheel was very much off center… and then the car jerked to the side, and after I gained control the steering wheel was off center again, but in the opposite direction. Apparently the customer just had another shop do work, and they used the wrong lower balljoint and it was just loosely sitting there held on by a thin snap ring. How she didn’t die is beyond me. Another customer we had brought us his truck, wanting an alignment. Every single suspension part was loose, we show it to him, and he was in denial that we could safely do an alignment. While showing him the play the parts had, his tierod popped off… he then tried blaming us for breaking it. Customer had to drop off her vehicle but wasn’t expecting to do so, so I ended up giving her a ride home. When we started working on the car we noticed this putrid smell of death coming from he vehicle. (This was during the summer with 90 degree humid weather (35 degrees Celsius)). We were unsure if she was aware of this smell, and when I picked her up a few days later I was tempted to ask her if she knew about it… I never did because I was afraid she didn’t know about it and had become *nose blind* to it. I’m glad I never asked because she never mentioned anything to us, and came back for additional work and the smell was still there. She was a nice lady, in her late 70s to mid 80s. She came back regularly for a few months and then we never heard from her. Sadly I think she died because she was very much anti-vacation during the height of the pandemic. Kinda sad because people were happy they didn’t need to work on her car anymore (because of the smell of death) and I feel a bit sad knowing she most likely died. This story happened a few weeks ago. A guy came in wanting his brakes fixed… he kept hearing a thumping noise and was admitted that it was his brakes. After I lifted the car, I noticed that his front tire had the tread peeling off of the tire. We told him that was his issue and he responded with “oh I know I need new tires, I just want to get my brakes done first”. There was nothing wrong with his brakes… we told him we cannot work on his car because the tire may blow at any second, and we weren’t going to risk our safety. The man drove his car home… or well in a ditch probably. (Where I live, we cannot legally hold a vehicle) My favorite story has to be when a guy dropped off his car and walked to the nearest bar. When he got back he admitted (without us asking) that he just down 6 beers. We called the police and we had this awkward moment where the officer couldn’t arrest him until he turned his car on. Dude was oblivious to the cop and stared at a wall for 20 minutes in his car. He then started his car and was given a DUI. We had a kid (early 20s) who said he had an electrical issue and that his friend installed a “vape machine” that made it so there wouldn’t be a cloud if he vaped, but for some reason the car wouldn’t start if he didn’t use it first. We obviously didn’t want to embarrass the guy and just played along with it even though it said breatha-lock on it. Last story; a guy came in with a breathalyzer and had we had him start it so we could pull it in. Less than an hour later he comes back shitfaced and couldn’t start his car for us to pull it out. He said he’d leave it overnight and pick it up in the morning. Next morning at 9am this man came stumbling in shitfaced again. Obviously he couldn’t start his car, and ended up having his car towed back to his house. I could go on and on with these stories.
I finished my HSC before 2001. A couple of things happened in my muckup year. The buildings were named after Catholic religious figures (eg Harvey, De La Salle Miguel etc), so the "Solomon" building got renamed the "Sodomy" building. The Science room got broken into and a 10 gallon drum of concentrated nitric acid went missing and someone went into the junior's toilets, hid a car battery or two into the vents and hooked it up to the metal urinal. Someone also started a bonfire in the middle of the oval but by then everyone stopped giving a fuck.
Went to a two-story public school that was brand new at the time. Like, just opened the previous year. Unidentified hooligans managed to not only get five head of cattle into the school building but even managed to get them up to the second floor before vanishing into the night like cattle-rustling class-five vapors out of Tobin's Spirit Guide. Apparently it's effectively impossible to get cows down a flight of stairs. This was _not_ an ag school.
Muck up day was banned at my school two years before I missed out in yr12. I got hosed by a homemade firetruck with 2x 44gal drums and two guys in a ute with petrol water pumps, I ran past the burnt writing in the school oval where they'd written the class year in fuel and set fire to it, then played back and forth tennis matches of golf with burning tennis balls.. Finally managing an exit past the initial chaos, barely into the quadrangle, only to find a spray painted car shell on the roof of the 3 story tall gymnasium roof... The next year superglued every keyhole and lock on every door in the school..
Worked at a...certain...electric vehicle company. Back when I worked at the service center, there was a specific Roadster sitting in the shop... Always in the back with the windows down, not moving, being touched, or worked on... Come to find out, the customer who bought this vehicle forgot to plug it in to charge it for a while... Can't remember if it was a winter or as long as a year. Nonetheless, the customer kept refusing to foot the bill and it just sat there for at least 2 years. In the end, the company ended up giving in and footing the 30k bill for the customers battery to be replaced. I got to take it on the first test drive, and fulfilled a dream.
Great memories. In my school in an outback town we kidnapped a DJ from the local radio station and auctioned him back to the town for proceeds to go the charity. We also stole the gaol entrance sign and pinned it up on the main gate of the school. We held a teachers trial in the concert hall with different teachers being charged and fined for all manner of annoyances. That was followed by a play "Snow White and the 7 Dirty Dwarves" with Snow White laying on a bed and 7 mannequin dummies being dropped on to her from above.
I wish I had known about this video taking submissions! We had a pretty good one at our school. I'm not sure who did it or how many people were involved but they clogged every sink in the entire school (we had quite a few bathrooms) including the sinks in the science classrooms. They proceeded to fill every sink up with water, put some colourful pebbles in the bottom and put a single gold fish with a plant in every single sink. They essentially turned every sink into a goldfish bowl. Everyone tried to avoid using the bathroom because they didn't want to get the handwash in the water when they washed their hands and accidentally kill the fish. By the end of the day the groundskeeper had this big container with 30+ goldfish in it and was giving out fish to students who wanted to take one as a pet in those disposable plastic cups. I took home two XD
A buncha kids on muckup day at my school glued superglued like 80 dollar coins around the school in random locations. On the hallway signs, on the roof, on the floor. For the whole time I was there after that year there you'd see people try to pick up the coins, before realising they're superglued. One of thes was on a roof beam and it became a school tradition to jump up and see if anyone could pull it off.
Not from down under, but my school banned the seniors from pranking due to 2 big pranks. One was getting over 100 cups, filling them with water, and fliping them so if they were picked up they would spill water everywhere. The second prank that broke the schools administrations back was the fact they filled all the stairways with balloons and some idiot jumped into it and broke his leg.
Diverted 1 lane of traffic through the tennis court loop road, the other went through the monastery, all went onto the footy fields. Took 40 min for the cops to start breaking it up... Same year 12 students filled up the principals office with bean bag filler, start of school next year they were still digging them out.
My school had prank day, and by prank day they meant "Every dude will do the same prank of bringing a dozen crickets to school and letting them loose in the bathrooms to get the bathrooms shut down for the day due to infestation, meaning there was 1 usable toilet for boys in the nurses office, and oh yeah you have to get there from wherever you classroom is, piss/ or #2, and get back to your next class in 3 minutes or face punishment for being late. Hahaha, what a great prank!" and mind you , this is a school with 2 separate buildings and 4 floors to each.
We have senior prank day in America. Notable ones from my school: - someone taped a bunch of fish to the ceiling in the cafeteria / all over in areas hard to reach the night before - someone filled the vents with manure - someone lit a hay bale on fire and rolled it at the school (no one got hurt)
one year, a senior (your year 12) prank on the rival school was putting a dead version of a mascot in their pool: a dolphin. the schools being from small beach towns in SoCal, this caused quite the uproar in the surrounding communities 😭
34 years ago, we pushed a 'donor' vehicle from the auto mechanical workshop out the back and hid an oxy acetylene set in the bushes. We came back that night to cut the car in half, transport both halves to the quadrangle area and welded the car halves around the flag pole. It was one of the more obvious things done on that day.
We silk screened 500 posters advertising a Gay dance at a rival boys school and put them on telegraph poles in a 20km radius of the school, the year was 1977 so it was quite controversial. It made the radio, TV and newspaper’s and the principal had to issue a statement reassuring parents. They came and ripped down our goalposts.
Someone a few years before my graduation wrote Leavers (whatever the year was) in 7 foot high letters (the building had a large dome on top of the building) using rubber cement. The building in question was cut into a steep hill and could be seen from all over the school. The school removed the cement, but it permanently damaged the paint and undercoat. It could be seen for years.
at the school i went to Muck up day was scaled back from the usual shenanigans down to an obstacle course and series of activities. The obstacle course consisted of a slip and slide with jagged rocks under the tarp, slingshots firing rotten eggs and frozen water ballons. My mate got smashed in the temple just as he stood up from the end of the slip and slide. got a concussion from it too.
@@GAHAHAHH Nah, its a very country school, a teacher was almost ran over by a tractor while their car was vandalised. I wasn't their at the time though, so even crazier things could have occured.
During the last muck up day at our school, a kid got taped to an outside wall high enough that a step ladder was needed. The subsequent year was my graduation year and the principal threatened to fire any teacher that cooperated by giving kids access to classrooms.
ours seem pretty tame compared to some of these. * students noticed a disliked teacher had parked right near a street sign. a few boys got together and lifted the rear-end of the car up against the sign post. it wasn't the smallest of cars either so i don't know how they got it so high. they had to call services in to get it down safely. * a teacher left their car window slightly down. students got in and shoved eggs under the car seat cover (driver's side). the result was quite bad and long lasting, especially considering that it happened in weeks of peak Central Queensland summer heat (37°C to 45°C and high humidity). I'm pretty sure that the seat had to be replaced.
Mischievous night here in England, mostly a night of egging rando's houses. Got challenging getting the eggs in advance when the shops were told by the police not to sell them to kids, until my mate's dad started buying them for us, absolute legend.
We hid a dead pig on the ceiling, it took until fluids starter running down on the students for it to be noticed and cleaned. They removed all ceilings from all rooms after that.
Damn, these stories make my muck day sound tame as. Although having a Police Officer permanently on staff really put a bit of a kibosh on our extra-curricular activities.
Senior pranks got banned at our school because there was a crosstown rivalry that ended in a bucket of deer urine being dumped on a kid. Oh yeah, and the vandalism.
I've got 2. One kid got tied to a tree in a near by nature reserve and forgotten about for a few hours. And, our high school shared a fence with a kindergarten. Some seniors on muck up day brought eggs to piff at the little kids next door. Now year 11s and the kindergartners are told to stay home on muck up day. Also they basically bade a middle fenced off area with a security guard and everyone had to stay in the little zoo and if any trouble was caused you were kicked out and had to do your exams at another school
The thing about our senior pranks here in the US is that schools never sanctioned them to begin with. They are strictly against the rules and you can't ban something that's already against the rules. That's why they continue every year and its part of what makes it so fun. And they know they'll happen, its basically a rite of passage. They did them too.
muck up day is usually just a chance for the kids to get dressed up and have fun, the pranks are not sanctioned at muck up day either. my year level was really chill, most people just got really drunk and went to school. i heard a rumour that one of the teachers got his mailbox stolen, but thats about it
As someone who works for public schools and has to help them manage their budget, I can tell you the things here that cost a ton of money end up meaning that in future years maintenance doesn't get done or the HVAC system doesn't get installed or the teachers don't get raises as inflation rises, or they have to cut field trips and sports programs. It just ends up sucking for future students. But what does this old man know.
We call it muck up day in Scotland, too. I mind the guy who looked a bit like Andy Murray did a giant, very unflattering chariacture of one of the maths teachers on the top of the techie block. It had a sexually deviant speech bubble, cant quite remember what it said, but he got a massive cheer from all the classrooms when he was spotted out there with the mop
My dad had a guy who would come in, refuse to drop off the machine he was concerned about and ask for used gaskets and sparkplugs. -_- He used my dad as a captive audience for his ramblings.
muck up day was banned at our school because a group of students went 7 hours before school started, broke in the school and they had 5 three liter buckets full of cow faeces. The pummeled it everywhere, in the school halls, the cafeteria and even the school nurses office. When the teachers eventually arrived 1 hour before the students, they smelled the disgusting stench and immidielty went to check as they initially thought that it was the drain pipes were broken. When they found the horrific incident, they called every parents and demanded that their child went to school. They searched the security cameras and when they saw the students the students didnt even get expelled. They just got suspended for a month. and when they came back they had detention for that month of absence. it was awesome
In my school, as a prank, people covered the hallway with olive oil and let a live goat free in the halls. Sadly the goat broke a leg (or something) because of the olive oil, it flew down a flight of stairs and, the goat had to be euthanized.
Our school banned muck up day after a drug ring led by the IT department was accidentally uncovered after students stole the boarders’ shoe laces and found a bunch of drugs. The code word for drugs was “shoes”. Also a couple years before this a few boarders managed to get a cow on the third floor and the year after that a student stole a human skeleton from the science department too, so public image was already bad and I guess news of the staff-led drug ring didn’t help
From Adelaide in the 80s, I remember a school making the news for their year 12s moving gravestones to their school oval. From there no other schoosl could compete.
I'm glad that I got to have a muck up week - we had a week at my school. Visited Luna Park wearing Hawaiin shirts on one of the days, then the rest were all themed (wearing other schools' uniforms, tradies appreciation with high vis clothes, etc.). No one did anything extreme. What WAS extreme was the "scav hunt" that Year 12 students from across the Greater Newcastle Area would take part in. I didn't though. I had enough festivities at high school.
Our year had the usual pesticide penis, but the year above us did a pretty impressive prank. Some students bought the worst, cheapest car they could find and on the night before muck up week they did donuts on the oval. The car got stuck because it dug up too much grass, so they either left it there overheating, or set it on fire. Either way there was a burnt out car in the middle of the oval when everyone got to school the next day. They couldn't get it out quickly because the ground was too torn up for a tow truck to get close enough. It was removed at some point over the Christmas break.
I went to an all boys boarding school so you know I have a few muck-up day stories. To put it simply muck-up day at my school was eventually banned because one too many year 7s were whipped/locked in a cupboard for the night. They deserved it I swear. By far the best pranks/pranks that went too far were; Someone releasing a cow in the clock tower of the school. A little know fact about cowes is that while they can go down stairs they absolutely refuse to go back down. They had to remove a window and use a crane to get it out. An asian kid got taped to the ceiling and when they were forced to let him down they instead taped him to his mattress and carried him down to the pool. Originally they were going to throw him in like that but thankfully someone decided to let the poor guy go and just throw his mattress in instead. The school ended up having to drain the entire pool because it was impossible to get the waterlogged mattress out (and maybe also because someone threw a heap of dye into it too). This is going back to a couple years before my time there but one principal was really hated so some the entire firsts rugby team got together to carry his car (an old beatle) to the ampithreatre -read pit with stairs on all sides- and left it there. We had a stairwell that was completely enclosed with a cage and had large metal gates at the top and bottom. Long story short a group of students decided to wait for the rush between classes to lock as many students as they could in there before spraying them down with a fire house. These poor guys got covered in this black foul smelling gunk water they came out of the hose. Please keep in mind a single uniform (minus the blazer) costs at least $150. BONUS: Not my school but a seperate boarding school. At this school one of the students was very angry with the school principal, I never found out why though. To get back at the principal the student decided to kidnap his poodle while he was visiting the boarding house and fuck it. This guy FUCKED A POODLE to get back at the principal. It goes without saying we was instantly expelled. EDIT: I just remembered there was one more major one. On a very hot summer day this guy decided to RIP THE TOILET off the floor, place it in the urinal and take a fat dump in it. Apparently when the cleaning lady saw the mess she had a full mental break and refused to touch it and tbh I don't blame her. All this I found out during an after school detention I got for skipping assembly (literally because it was almost exam block and we wanted to study) as the kid the kid was lectured by the teacher in charge. How did he get caught? The dumb brat posted the video of him doing it on insta and, I shit you not, tagged the school. The worst part was he was only given a 30 minute detention while my friends and I had to do an hour. I guess when daddy has enough money you can do whatever the hell you want without consequences
@@phillipeandreewich5993 Small and annoying for sure. The one thing I did notice was that after muck-up day was banned the younger kids decided they could do whatever they wanted including messing with the grade 12s, something that when I was in their grade I wouldn't have even considered doing
In America, we do have a "Senior Prank Night" and at my state run children's home, we broke into the recreation building via a rooftop access hatch and disassembled the door to the gymnasium so that the electric cart Security rides around campus could be rolled right on inside, where the door was reassembled (with industrial glue in the hinges) and we knew that because they couldn't get it out, they wouldn't be able to sneak up on us smoking weed in the cornfield after graduation the next day.
The majority of kids and young adults do go too far, over the past two decades. There's a difference between good fun and going too far. Kids need too think twice if they want the to go to Law School. You can't be a Lawyer if you have a criminal record from Muck up day. Just keep it in your school. Yeh, I know, I'm a kill joy. There is a fine line between fun and illegal activities.
A bunch of the seniors in nsw bubble wrapped the principals car and some how managed to carry it 50 yards to the pool which was being cleaned and threw it in there
In the US we have Senior prank. at same point someone put an unimaginable amount of live chickens in every classroom. then it was banned. in the us we have senior prank followed by senior skip day where they also skip the day that the teachers find the shit Edit: it seems that they were not creative
"an unimaginable amount of live chickens in every classroom" - not sure about not being creative but this is bad enough, I can't imagine the cleanup after that
At our school in NZ we had a "senior prank" which was rather tame compared to the video and comments, used window markers and wrote stuff like class of 2022 among other things. They also glued coins to the ground and some of the lamps, a friend with a ruler got them and then went to the canteen. also, toilet paper. Certainly tame compared to anything else here. Still thought it was funny
Nope, just a regular old kiwi school, no private school BS. Public school with no religion tied to it. Except for the fact that the rooms are numbered in maori.@@vincere_

But far, far more importantly. Mechanics: SEND ME YOUR STORIES. Confess your sins or just tell me crazy things that happened on the job. We'll be making that into the next video.
First comment.
Not a mechanic but I heard of a bloke who left his car parked under a streetlight for 3 days and when he got back it was covered in a literal inch of shit because there were pelicans roosting above it.
Also when are you going to do taxi drivers confess their sins? Am I going to have to pull a tylchr here?
it was flour bombs at our school, painted the school a off white, ruined the carpets in a dozen rooms lol
speaking of crucifixion, it wasnt at our school but we stuck porno mags onto the bibles on catholic schools statues with super glue. a lot of super glue
Speaking of pranks gone wrong really sorry about fire bombing your house😢. You were supposed to be home😮 it was only a flaming paper bag of dog shit that got out of hand. Turns out dry turds are extremely flammable and the methane released creates a sizable explosion
My dad a mechanic for lube mobile. The worse one he got was working on a crazy cat lady car. So naturally the car had cat poo and piss through it and stunk to high heaven. I can't Remember what was wrong with the car but he had to spend multiple days fixing it. He asked after the first day to clean the car but she refused so the couple time he went back he would take the fattest dumps possible into a plastic bag and leave them outside her bedroom window
During my brothers muck-up day, a couple of students kidnapped the pig from the school farm.
They were leading the pig from classroom to classroom to avoid the flock of teachers trying to hunt down the pig.
The chase went on all day. They only stopped to get the chicken fingers from the canteen before they sold out and they forgot where they left the pig
Naw, pigs are calm and easy to catch. the whole joke is about bringing 3 pigs, and write 1, 2 and 4 on them so they spend the day looking for 3. None of what you said happened.
Oh no.
@@andrethegiant6969 That joke sucks and is so old. They just forgot the pig in a classroom, calm down mate
which school? @@hithisthers7214
@@andrethegiant6969 I'd say it is better to have just one with a number 2 or 3... As at that point teachers are having the pre-panic of what is about to happen... And it never comes :P
I salute all the cleaners and groundskeepers out there for putting up with this. All my grade did was arm every student with water balloons and bully the year 7s, 8s and 9s.
That sounds like my school, except 1) they also had flour and ketchup bombs, and 2) it was an army of seniors from multiple schools raiding our school
My older brother was involved, and my younger brother and I water bombed him when he got home, payback :P
Same
Yeah we did that too except on the other side of the school was a little concert going on until one of the balloons found its way onto the mixpult ...

It’s actually totally normal for a private school’s suppressed students to suddenly go nuts. As someone who went to one for 15 years, I saw it yearly. Those kids are honestly wilder than public school kids sometimes.
bro, school in Australia goes for 13 years.
and you are calling the other guys retarded when you clearly repeated a FEW years.

Ending an absolutely absurd and/or horrific statement with "very weird." is undeniably hilarious.
During a university prank week legend has it that a student approached a group of council workers doing roadworks on the entrance to the University of Queensland and warned them that students dressed as police for prank week were causing problems. The same student approached some police officers and said there were a group of students dressed as council workers for prank week were digging up the road. Do I need to explain the outcome?
Yes. yes you do. Was there a fight between the cops and the workers?
Yes, please explain the outcome. Anything could've happened.
fucking legends.. follow up please
Absolutely legendary, what followed? Was there a grand fight?
reminding you once more to tell us the outcome
This actually kind of ties into both this question and your last one, but it applies to my dad. He went to a private school which was known for how many kids went on into the automotive trade, and on their muck up day back in the 80s they decided they were sick of the corporal punishment they received on a daily basis. Keep in mind, many of them were apprentices at this point and so were already solidly employed and didn't care about school. So they disassembled a cheap Morris Minor (a small car) they'd all bought, broke into the school overnight, and quickly reassembled it in the principal's office (on the second floor) for him to find in the morning. It was obviously impossible to remove easily and had to be professionally removed via crane. Absolute crackheads.
Gold 😂
I figured "Muck-Up Day" was more like what we'd call a "senior prank"
Yes, people have been arrested for insane pranks like filling a whole school with thousands of ladybugs.
Thousands of ladybugs is a pretty tame prank to be arrested for
Glad you said ladybugs I thought you were going to say mustard gas.
One of the year 10 muck up days, someone turned all the gas taps on in the science rooms. All taps and every single bench in every science room.
Someone passed out and someone else smelt the gas as they came along and I am amazed that the school didn't go sky high since it was over a weekend leaking gas AND right next to a caravan park.
We called it senior skip day, because our prank was that over 90% of the class just skipped. There would usually be a small prank on the same day somewhere outside. There was an attempt to shutdown the school for the day for everyone by supergluing the locks. He got caught. Slap on the wrist for him. i think his parents paid for the locks, and he had community service ontop of being the maintenance mans apprentice for the day that he replaced them all.
One year, somebody released 3 pigs into the school labeled 1,2, and 4 for the senior prank. Another year somebody straight up put a car on the roof. Absolutely insane antics in America

Wanted to add another muck up day story to the growing list.
Our school was a no uniform, public school in a very wealthy neighbourhood... the locals absolutely hated us. Our muck up day got cancelled because the YR12s all bought white paint suits from Bunnings, covered their faces with masks and stormed into the school at one co-ordinated moment, during lunch, to start total chaos of egging and pranks. The local public saw them running in and called the police thinking there was a terrorist attack underway. Everyone was laughing and running away as teachers and students alike were getting egged. Then they put the school into lockdown and we were told to go into our nearest classroom. I distinctly remember crying with laughter and looking out the window of our science classroom, watching the principal try to "cover" this kid who was bleeding from the face. She was also copping the eggs. It was like watching a comedic war movie, such an absurd scene...
Once the school yard was empty the YR12s ran from the building and went to a local beach, running from the bomb squad that had been called.
It was almost worth having our own one cancelled just to have watched that one unfold.
We have the Senior Prank in the US. It’s never a designated day, but at some point during the school year, usually at the beginning or end, is when the prank happens.
Does the prank involve a lockdown and a lonely kid wandering the corridors with a firearm? Because I'm pretty sure that's been done.
At my school the old principal was the wife of the current principal, and had given some seniors the spare keys to his truck. They drove it up onto the sidewalk in front of the school, wrapped it in Saran wrap, spray-painted year of 2021 on it's, and was shooting cans of silly string at anyone who walked by
My old chemistry teacher was in on it for a couple of years.
Butyric acid when esterified turns into the smell of strawberries (ethyl butyrate). Butyric acid also happens to smell like crusty socks and rancid butter.
It's pungent and volatile prior to the reaction, so it will permeate the HVAC system, making the whole building smell like a rancid gym bag.
When the administrators come looking to see what stinks, the chemistry lab smells like a field of strawberries, so they would end up looking elsewhere.
He always chose the hottest day of the school year (typically late May) to run that lab just to prime the HVAC with that awful smell. Good times.
Not a "Muck up day" or "Senior prank day" for my fellow Americans - but I went to high school when Star Wars Revenge of the Sith was coming out to theaters. One of my friends practiced martial arts and started bringing his lightsaber to school in the weeks leading up to premiere. Within a week of the release more and more kids would bring their lightsabers to school, inspired by his antics. The day before the movie released in theaters somewhere in the ballpark of 100-150 kids had lightsabers in the main quad by the library. It had been boiling over for a week and finally all of us started a massive 100+ man free for all.
My high school was about 15% white, and our librarian was from the midwest and not used to being around so many "ehtnics"... we're talking she thought the Filipino kids were all Mexican, and couldn't understand the difference. Anyway, she sees a massive amount of kids fighting and immediately calls the front office to report a massive gang fight occurring in the main quad. Immediately police are called and the manly teachers - Until the police could get there the PE teachers, the woodshop teachers, and the muscular bro teachers all rallied up and rushed to do what they could to stop the fight. They got there completely panicked and freaking out, ready to kick ass and break kids skulls... only to see 100+ kids smacking each other with plastic laser swords, with nearly every single kid making the lightsaber sounds (none of us even bothered to turn on the sound effects of the lightsabers).
Later it was established that this was very very much a gang fight.... a Gang fight between the Dark Side and Light Side of the Force.
Holy shit Americans... calling the cops to report a gang fight for the highschool equivalent of a bunch of neckbeards playing dungeons and dragons. Did the cops laugh when they got there?

My high school threw a fit when someone put a giant teddy bear on the roof. They said it cost tens of thousands of dollars to remove. There is an elevator up to the roof. It fit in the elevator.
Our muck up day, we had a large group of students hit up the nearby Coles and buy every single whole fish from the deli, then take them around between classes. Teachers were on the ball and told all the participants to put them in the big bins out back by the end of first period. But of course more than half ended up hidden all over the school, in garden beds, down drains, on the roofs, in the wheel wells of teachers cars, fermenting all day in the QLD heat. I heard a rumor that years later some workers installing solar panels found a bunch of fish skeletons on top of the buildings.
I was in a gifted program in primary school and the thing I remember most about it was a lesson about the very basics of engineering. Sounds fancier than it is, it was basically just "triangles are the strongest shape". But the part that sticks in my mind was after the lesson, when we were divided up into groups and challenged to build the tallest structure we could out of dry pasta. Whoever built the tallest structure that could support a bag of marshmallows would win the bag.
Given that we were just taught about triangles being the strongest shape, every group but ours went for some cone or pyramid shaped thing with a platform on top, but I convinced my group to just make a basic ass square jenga tower. Our structure was two centimetres tall, compared to the 10 or 15 cm that all the other groups had.

Hey Jordan/ friendlyjordies Team, if your looking other jobs to do a video on: FINE DINING or just expensive sit in restaurants are usually a gold mine! as someone who worked 7 years in this exact industry to the point where I even waited on local politicians (Julia Gillard was surprisingly the nicest one I’ve served as a waitress) you really see how scummy these people who are trusted with powerful positions are. Personally the amount of drugs (mostly coke) I’ve had to wipe off of expensive marble bathroom counter tops would make Pablo Escobar feel right at home and the way upper class people treat bar staff and wait staff really shows how they actually feel about the Average Australian. I’ve got a handful of stories and I know other people who have had to work in hospitality who have a LOT of horror stories.
Damn that sounds like white gold
This needs to get to the top
hahahaha yeah. 5 years in fine dining. I always found people who had achieved some sort of local australian fame to be some of the most egotistical gronks i’ve ran in to, no, i don’t care that you were in one season of home and away or any other australian tv series, no i’m not cooking off the menu for you, no, you can’t harass the wait staff.
can confirm, I was a bartender at the local yacht club Julia GIllard would frequently visit. She was always insanely nice.
@@alspinor I would know, I’ve had to wipe it off of toilet paper dispensers in the ladies room too
We had a prank day in Canada and it actually went horribly. Most of us had a talent day that ended with someone pouring lubricant through the lunchroom, I'm talking a full barrel. But on the other side, someone put a ton of ex-lax in the science teachers coffee. Almost killed him, and they got charged and had a civil lawsuit and had to pay his doctors fees and got it all banned. and got expelled before graduation.
In what province can you sue a child for healthcare costs of all things?
Edit: Apparently its actually a thing for personal injury cases and they will technically be represented by a "litiguation guardian"
Oh dear god THE PAIN of the Drain in the vain that no clench can contain.
A Super Choc Thick Shake or the Lax into the food we'd cook in food tech knowing it'd go straight to the teachers lounges.
Always hated cooking a mad cake and never getting it cause we "we're cooking for a teachers conference". wouldn't have cooked it if I'd known that, revenge was sweet.. And draining....
@@philipegoulet448I think it's cool you looked it up and edited the comment, well played, appreciate it!
I don't recall prank days.
As a bloke from the army. You should really ask us about our stories. They won't disappoint
Having been only a cadet myself, we still had some fun moments as well.
Such as this one time we were on a week long summer camp, and we were all in our bunks about an hour before lights out and this big arse hornet just stumbled in through the open window on the other side of the room. So a couple guys were hesitantly trying to catch the thing, while some others were just staring at these guys trying not to get stung like a bunch of gormless muppets all of us joking all the way. And low and behold there was me, in my immature wisdom, spraying my balls with the bug repellant i brought with me like it was some kind of black magic protection spell.
This was the same camp where a different guy tried downing a bottle of the Tabasco sauce from the ration packs as a bet.
And one last one, as we shared the sight with the army cadets there was no shortage of low brow graffiti on the walls and doors of the portable cabin toilets they had set up in one of the locations, complete with a wank tally. Which we decided was too short and made our own about 2 times longer with a little message at the bottom saying “and I’m still not tired”. Best one in there however was a big arse cartoon style biro picture of hitler on the back of one of the doors so when you closed it it read “Hitler watches you poo”
Good times
@@alexbibby9641probably had to be there I guess...
buddy of mine was in a submarine for a while and just the simple story of every morning all the dudes in their bunks beating off at the same time every morning is more than hilarious. and thats not even 'an incident'
Drone striking civilians?
Ah yeah you and Scomo gunning down familys ay?
I helped to absolutely flood the admin area with crickets
Originally, it was only supposed to be in the admin area, but the infestation spread to basically every other part of the school, and I saw some running around near the neighbouring buildings and on the oval
Heard that the principal got absolutely pissed but we never got punished
Some kid also smeared shit on every single chair in the library the day prior
All through high school every year they would announce on the P.A. system that anyone doing these sorts of "pranks" would be expelled without receiving their diploma, I always thought that it was obvious and I wondered why they felt the need to make such an announcement, apparently this is why.
I just don't understand why anyone would do such a thing let alone enough people that it's a yearly problem, these are your fellow students that you are hurting and the teachers and blue collar workers who are far too underpaid for what they do.
I know my high school experience is not representative of everyone's but the students and teachers at my school had witness so much death and suffering, I just can't imagine having the desire to intentionally add even the most minor inconvenience or annoyance to anyone's plate let alone some of the things described here, they risk hurting yourself and others and also risk aggravating the most dangerous kinds of people.
Crickets! What did you expect, that these little bugs famous for jumping around a lot would just sit calmly in one spot until the tragically underpaid janitor would come and scoop it up?
Oh well, at least any local lizards would've had a great time.
Oi you didnt go to Kambrya did ya? That sounds crazy similar to a prank somone pulled on our admin block. Hectic work mate great to hear you never got done.
Vietcong moment
I was a newbie teacher at a private [Anglican] school in country Victoria in the early '70's. The Year 12 students picked up my car, a VW Beetle, and placed it in the chapel before the service on Monday morning. You can imagine the reaction when we all filed in at 0800 for the service! I think the minister refused to conduct proceedings until the boys picked it up and took it out through the vestry doors. I just feigned ignorance, "What? Nah, not mine!"
There were several in our school
We ziptied a bunch of bags together along a 25m long backrack; making one giant ass chain
Plus put those hydrogen sulphide fart bombs next to the aircon vents
A friend who's family had a farm brought 3 chickens with the ole 1, 2 and 4 written on them and spread them throughout the admin building
Though the thing that got anything serious banned was someone throwing a mattress in the pool and having to get craned out
Our school banned it due people pissing in water pistols. It was like a school massacre, people running and screaming everywhere, people hiding and the teachers going off their heads. One of the teachers also had his Mini Cooper carried up onto the second floor, right outside his classroom🤣. The herbicide on the grass was a common one!
Why would you ever do something like that? If you piss on the wrong person you could lose an ear if you think there is no risk of something like that happening then those people don't deserve to be pissed on.
@@GAHAHAHH Lose an ear? Lol ok Mike Tyson
@@maltyfredboop What is wrong with you? I am talking about why harassing people on a mass scale is a bad thing which I shouldn't need to do in the first place and your response is "this must be an old person who hates fun".
Also wasn't the whole thing that this used to be much more severe in the "old days" calling me a "boomer" doesn't even make any sense.
@@natedigger5678 That was just an example, let me give you another one, consider that maybe what you just said to me means I don't like you and I don't want you to take this as a threat but why risk aggravating someone you know nothing about for a joke?

@@maltyfredboop No it's not "kids" it's just you.
Consider what you are really doing right now, you are defending peeing in a water pistol and spraying people with it, that is not just a crime that is literally considered a war crime it's in the geneva convention look it up. And that's not even mentioning that you are harassing someone for pointing out that such an obviously wrong thing is wrong and being blatantly ageist to someone who you don't even know how old they are.

We call it senior prank in the states.
1: how does “banning” pranks change anything? Were students allowed to ride dirt bikes inside before that?
2: the year before mine in HS decided to set off a bunch of fireworks in the gym, but they attached timers to them which classified them as IEDs so the FBI came. They all went to prison (the least was a year and the most was 4 years I believe)
Ok, so I got a few, starting with the tame one
1. Some mad lad Made all the projectors and TVs in the school cast his screen (they were all wireless), he played a few levels of hotline Miami (pretty good game BTW, also I assume he did this on his personal laptop or something), and then played a 10 hr video of silence occasionally broken up by a noise (I think it was the sad SpongeBob sound effect). He somehow didn’t get caught.
2. It began normally, but then I went to the bathroom, and someone walked in with a duffel bag, he went into a stall, opened it and it was full of “objects representing the male genitalia” (if you catch my drift). He than put one on each stall door, the mirror, and the wall, and left. Turns out he/she was putting them everywhere, the bathroom, classrooms, I even heard he somehow got one on the school mascot costume (there’s one on display that’s always locked)
Its actually in the bible that Pontius Pilate came up to Jesus after he was crucified and said "its just a prank bro"
😂😂😂
In the US we do senior pranks - I taught in Louisiana for a short time and heard a nasty one from one of the custodians (who are the ones who actually have to deal with all of this crap anyway, rather than the teachers or administrators they're usually aimed at punishing).
On the last day the seniors had a big picnic lunch and silly games and such. Being Louisiana, the lunch was a crawfish boil. The kids collected an entire garbage bag full of crawfish leftovers, went into the school, and poured it into the space behind a bank of lockers. There was a thin metal panel at the end of the lockers, which themselves were just metal boxes with a gap between their backs and the wall - remove the panel, fill the gap as far as possible, replace the panel, done. The building always stank of crawfish for the day of the boil and for a day or two later because of the mess they'd make in the lawn, but this atrocity managed to make it to the weekend before really starting to rot, and it was unspeakably foul the next Monday when the custodians found horrid stank juice spreading into the hallway from under the lockers.
Vomiting in different colours was gold, so much commitment
muckup day was banned at my school a few years back
basically, one of the farm boys had gone home a few days early and come back with a 2 ton cow. they locked the cow in the teachers offices in the maths / commerce block. Said cow proceeded to eat almost all the papers and was found on the Monday, 3 days later. it had shit all over the floor of the offices. the cover for this was stupider. some other student brought in an airsoft rifle and accidentally caused a mass shooter alarm as he had not warned any teachers so they all thought he had a rifle with live ammunition.
Sir, my cow ate my homework 🐮
At the end of term two, during the heatwave in NSW a few weeks ago, the entire year 12 grade (excluding me) came up with an idea for an unannounced muck-up prank. For some reason, the school gathered all the students under the massive veranda and announced which sports they would attend.
So most of the year 12 students had water guns, balloons, and bins full of water and proceeded to bombard the entire school, including the teachers and the principal.
Apparently no one was spared and multiple teachers had their phones destroyed due to the water.
Last year one of the year 12 studens got a dildo called the Moby huge and glued it to the main playground and coverd it in lube.
I have no idea who did it but the school denies it ever happend.
Sadly couldn't write this in the previous post for the video, but the reason our muck up day was banned was one year a group of the year 12 boys stole a set of full sized rugby league posts and to make it even more impressive they were the ones that didn't come apart! Everyone that did it has kept quiet and no one actually knows how they pulled it off and no one that lived nearby heard anything, they literally vanished like a fart in the wind
I've never seen a more Australian word then munt. I dunno what it even means, yet I love it.
Literal translation: "vomit". E.G. "yeah mate then I munted all over the floor".
@Azmania3000 fun fact: 'Munted' is also used by Aussies (mostly younger than 30) to describe how fucked up on drugs they are. E.g. "I took 3 Pills last night and I was SOOO Munted!!"
There is another similar term known as munting which is fucking gross and connected to necrophilia
I'm from the UK and went to school there. We don't have muck up day. We _used_ to have a tradition when on the last day of school, the departing 11th years would write messages on each other's uniforms in marker pen, but now schools have official leaver's jackets. It's all gone corporate I tell you!
Having said that, one lad did decide to launch a rocket down the school corridor. It was mad.
This is in the Northern Territory. The cohort of year 12s ahead of my year level had disassembled a teacher's car and reassembled it on the roof. It was the prank that topped everything before it, including the Japanese in WW2 that decided to bomb my school. Don't exactly know what happened to them. Though muck up day wasn't banned after that. Rather there was a police check point on the road leading up to the school where your car is checked for anything sinister and you're breathalysed.
I've got one for the mechanics episode. About 15 years ago I worked for one of the dealership mechanics in Maitland. One time a customer came in and said there was a funny smell coming from her car. The customer left the car in the morning to pick it up in the afternoon but the mechanic only needed a few seconds to figure out what the problem was. Turns out when an engine cools down in the middle of winter it becomes a nice little spot for a furry friend to nestle up in. Between the mechanics they had to draw straws to decided who had to tell her. The guy who lost when he spoke to the customer began with "you missing a cat?"
I drew the straw to have to throw the charred cat into the dumpster after.
At my highschool during the muckup for my year many things happened. Cherry bombs in toilets, people shooting off fireworks etc. The worst and probably most dangerous one was in the middle of the quad where everyone walked to go between classes and a lot of people were there during lunch (when this happened). Someone got one of the trash bins which were the round metal ones, got one of those cubes of fireworks that have like 36 or so rockets in them that fire off sequentially after you light it after a like 1-2 second delay for each rocket, and taped it inside pointing out of the bin. They lit the fuse and pushed the bin so it started rolling in a circle, the firing of the rockets made it keep moving so it shot rockets everywhere, people were running for their lives.
Sounds like how I got muck up day banned we had muck up day at my school every year yr 1 to yr 12 for the last day of school I threw fire crackers in class rooms roller blading around snapped sticks in every bubbler in the school took shits in tuck shop bags and hocked em in and at the office smoking on school grounds lol kicked bins over trashed empty class rooms got bad enough the cops had to follow me around the school and I took off roller bladed to my Nan's house and my dad whooped my ass for smoking out of all of the things lol😅
Some legend painted a zebra crossing and road markings out the front of the school to improve student safety. The school pressure washed it off a few days later, only painting a proper zebra crossing + road lines years later.
Motor trade story:- I worked at a famous UK tyre shop in the richest area in town most of our customers were professional types( lawyer's CEOs etc) well educated types, no common sense. We had a lady bring in a wellington boot(gumboot in aus)and asked if we could repair a hole in it, we told her we're not a cobbler we repair CAR tyres, this when she went and shouted " I was in here yesterday you fixed a puncture in someone's boot(trunk?) This was the point we explained it was the spare wheel in the boot(trunk) not a shoe. 😅
My mate runs a muffler repair place and usually has custies drop their car or truck off the night before. One day he went to bring a car into the garage to work on it when he saw something move inside of it so he jumped back. Upon going back to look inside he found multiple chickens. Both him and the custie had no clue where the chickens came from but they made on heck of a mess. They ended up just letting the chickens out and they disappeared into a nearby bush.
They clearly didn’t see the free meal it was
congrats, you were in a jordies video
We have senior pranks in the US. My class’s prank was actually pretty cool. Our auto tech class had a secret sign up for the prank, organized teams, rented equipment, and put instructional videos for each team on Ebaums world- TH-cam wasn’t a thing yet. A few days before graduation we towed the principals car to school, stripped it down completely to singular nuts and bolts, put the empty car body on top of the school, and scattered all the parts of the car in different classrooms around the school. We left a note saying we would put it all back together after we graduated. That principal retired recently and said it was one of the most memorable pranks he ever dealt with.
The leadership/student council at my school did a controlled opposition thing for senior pranks (US equivalent of muck up day) and took all the chairs out of the classrooms. This was not well recieved by the student body, because we had to carry the chairs back inside. For context, my school was a magnet school for all the nerds and theater kids. The closest we had to sports was a mock trial team. If anyone had actually decided to do a prank, it would either involve explosions or cyber crimes. Or maybe one of the theater kids running around with realistic gore makeup.
0:26 thanks for the translation! I was so confused until you spoke in my native tongue! I’m learning Australian!!!
Our version of "muck up day" was a grad prank for our grade 12 graduates. Our high school banned it quite a few years ago now because the seniors decided to have a food fight in the cafeteria with raw meat. It spilled out into the hallway before staff put a stop to it.
The cafeteria was closed until it could be cleaned up and sanitized. Poor janitors were cleaning for over a week because the meat got into all the nooks and crannies (and yes, the air vents).
Muck up day just sounds like our version of the senior prank. Some are funny, and others are just the destruction of school property.
This is the funniest video I have seen all month. I won’t be dissapointed with a part 2
I spent most of my muck-up week smoking weed with my school bus driver. He was an old islander version of Otto from The Simpsons who would weak a leather jacket that often stunk of weed and Old Brute.
Love your work!!😂 . Would love to one day possibly, see your findings on the dodgy practices of New Zealands leading big, orange, vehicle safety inspection company and managements behaviour towards safety and floor staff. Yours is the best TH-cam channel I've seen in forever!! Keep it up!😂❤
Not Australian, but our school in the US has “Senior Pranks” ofc. My senior year students somehow snuck in late at night, wrote outside and inside the school “2K18” in shaving cream all over the sidewalks, parking lots, and hallways, they TP’d the trees out front in tons of toilet paper, and had glitter and paper shavings everywhere in every hallway. They also put pictures of our principal with his dog photoshopped onto his head all around their office.
Safe to say the next year they banned senior pranks.
What that is every muckup day in Australia ever. Officially ours was banned and we had all of that shit anyway.
I don't remember any decent senior pranks happening when I was in school but people did talk about ideas for them. Besides the numbered chicken idea the other livestock idea people talked about was getting a cow all the way upstairs because supposedly it was very hard to make them walk down stairs.
And down here you have to literally crucify someone to get it banned
@@DanielHatchman The US isn’t as wild as Australia it seems. Except the combo of depressed kids and lack of gun control I guess.
@@Chris.Batchelor oh no 😢
Sad I didn't get my stories in but I have two. One was less ingenious, the year above me just covered the deputy principles car (who was fighting cancer at the time) completely from top to bottom in Vaseline.
The other story involves a commonly used staircase in the school that had 2 poles at the top and 2 poles at the bottom of the stairs. The year 12s made a massive spiders web of gladwrap covered with honey and pushed year 7s into it who then became miserably trapped and sticky. It was amazing.
The first one there is just sad. Never mess with a persons car, let alone a dude fighting cancer.
The second one.. nah that’s good - no mercy for stooges!
I was the supervisor for a Bus workshop in Perth.
It was a private company that had a lot of school run contracts, one of the school busses had a VERY loose kingpin (holds the entire wheel hub assembly to the front axle), so loose that you could hear it knocking with any movement. I took it off the road and found it needed special tooling from the manufacturer to repair, the big boss kept scheduling it for school runs saying it was too important to take off the road. 6 months went by with me sending weekly emails saying it needs to go in for repairs, thinking 50 kids were about to be involved in a bus crash any day, I eventually left the company for obvious reasons and on my last week, took the bus off the schedule, called the manufacturer and dropped it off myself without telling anyone.
The apprentice told me recently it took 4 months to repair due to critical damage with a $35,000 bill at the end
the only mechanic story i know is about a friend going out to start his car in the morning. he turns the key and is greeted by the sound of his cat, who apparently snuggled up to the engine for warmth, getting caught up in the serpentine/accessory belt.
the sound was quite unique, apparently.
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Finally my time to shine-
My favorite it customers coming in and either knowing less than nothing… or thinking they know what’s up but actually having no clue.
One customer told me “their car pulls to the right”. I went for a test drive and the steering wheel was very much off center… and then the car jerked to the side, and after I gained control the steering wheel was off center again, but in the opposite direction.
Apparently the customer just had another shop do work, and they used the wrong lower balljoint and it was just loosely sitting there held on by a thin snap ring.
How she didn’t die is beyond me.
Another customer we had brought us his truck, wanting an alignment. Every single suspension part was loose, we show it to him, and he was in denial that we could safely do an alignment. While showing him the play the parts had, his tierod popped off… he then tried blaming us for breaking it.
Customer had to drop off her vehicle but wasn’t expecting to do so, so I ended up giving her a ride home. When we started working on the car we noticed this putrid smell of death coming from he vehicle. (This was during the summer with 90 degree humid weather (35 degrees Celsius)). We were unsure if she was aware of this smell, and when I picked her up a few days later I was tempted to ask her if she knew about it… I never did because I was afraid she didn’t know about it and had become *nose blind* to it. I’m glad I never asked because she never mentioned anything to us, and came back for additional work and the smell was still there. She was a nice lady, in her late 70s to mid 80s. She came back regularly for a few months and then we never heard from her. Sadly I think she died because she was very much anti-vacation during the height of the pandemic. Kinda sad because people were happy they didn’t need to work on her car anymore (because of the smell of death) and I feel a bit sad knowing she most likely died.
This story happened a few weeks ago. A guy came in wanting his brakes fixed… he kept hearing a thumping noise and was admitted that it was his brakes. After I lifted the car, I noticed that his front tire had the tread peeling off of the tire. We told him that was his issue and he responded with “oh I know I need new tires, I just want to get my brakes done first”. There was nothing wrong with his brakes… we told him we cannot work on his car because the tire may blow at any second, and we weren’t going to risk our safety. The man drove his car home… or well in a ditch probably. (Where I live, we cannot legally hold a vehicle)
My favorite story has to be when a guy dropped off his car and walked to the nearest bar. When he got back he admitted (without us asking) that he just down 6 beers. We called the police and we had this awkward moment where the officer couldn’t arrest him until he turned his car on. Dude was oblivious to the cop and stared at a wall for 20 minutes in his car. He then started his car and was given a DUI.
We had a kid (early 20s) who said he had an electrical issue and that his friend installed a “vape machine” that made it so there wouldn’t be a cloud if he vaped, but for some reason the car wouldn’t start if he didn’t use it first. We obviously didn’t want to embarrass the guy and just played along with it even though it said breatha-lock on it.
Last story; a guy came in with a breathalyzer and had we had him start it so we could pull it in. Less than an hour later he comes back shitfaced and couldn’t start his car for us to pull it out. He said he’d leave it overnight and pick it up in the morning. Next morning at 9am this man came stumbling in shitfaced again. Obviously he couldn’t start his car, and ended up having his car towed back to his house.
I could go on and on with these stories.
I finished my HSC before 2001. A couple of things happened in my muckup year. The buildings were named after Catholic religious figures (eg Harvey, De La Salle Miguel etc), so the "Solomon" building got renamed the "Sodomy" building. The Science room got broken into and a 10 gallon drum of concentrated nitric acid went missing and someone went into the junior's toilets, hid a car battery or two into the vents and hooked it up to the metal urinal. Someone also started a bonfire in the middle of the oval but by then everyone stopped giving a fuck.
Went to a two-story public school that was brand new at the time. Like, just opened the previous year.
Unidentified hooligans managed to not only get five head of cattle into the school building but even managed to get them up to the second floor before vanishing into the night like cattle-rustling class-five vapors out of Tobin's Spirit Guide. Apparently it's effectively impossible to get cows down a flight of stairs.
This was _not_ an ag school.
I like this series, pretty fun fan-work (idk if that’s a real term)
probably is the british empire had a pile of fan men working fans in siam extra :P
Muck up day was banned at my school two years before I missed out in yr12.
I got hosed by a homemade firetruck with 2x 44gal drums and two guys in a ute with petrol water pumps, I ran past the burnt writing in the school oval where they'd written the class year in fuel and set fire to it, then played back and forth tennis matches of golf with burning tennis balls..
Finally managing an exit past the initial chaos, barely into the quadrangle, only to find a spray painted car shell on the roof of the 3 story tall gymnasium roof...
The next year superglued every keyhole and lock on every door in the school..
Worked at a...certain...electric vehicle company. Back when I worked at the service center, there was a specific Roadster sitting in the shop... Always in the back with the windows down, not moving, being touched, or worked on... Come to find out, the customer who bought this vehicle forgot to plug it in to charge it for a while... Can't remember if it was a winter or as long as a year. Nonetheless, the customer kept refusing to foot the bill and it just sat there for at least 2 years. In the end, the company ended up giving in and footing the 30k bill for the customers battery to be replaced. I got to take it on the first test drive, and fulfilled a dream.
Great work for protecting the companies anonymity.
Great memories. In my school in an outback town we kidnapped a DJ from the local radio station and auctioned him back to the town for proceeds to go the charity. We also stole the gaol entrance sign and pinned it up on the main gate of the school. We held a teachers trial in the concert hall with different teachers being charged and fined for all manner of annoyances. That was followed by a play "Snow White and the 7 Dirty Dwarves" with Snow White laying on a bed and 7 mannequin dummies being dropped on to her from above.
I wish I had known about this video taking submissions! We had a pretty good one at our school. I'm not sure who did it or how many people were involved but they clogged every sink in the entire school (we had quite a few bathrooms) including the sinks in the science classrooms. They proceeded to fill every sink up with water, put some colourful pebbles in the bottom and put a single gold fish with a plant in every single sink. They essentially turned every sink into a goldfish bowl. Everyone tried to avoid using the bathroom because they didn't want to get the handwash in the water when they washed their hands and accidentally kill the fish. By the end of the day the groundskeeper had this big container with 30+ goldfish in it and was giving out fish to students who wanted to take one as a pet in those disposable plastic cups. I took home two XD
Now that's a good prank. As long as the fish didn't get hurt, it seems controlled/safe 'enough' while still being ridiculous and creative. 10 outta 10
A buncha kids on muckup day at my school glued superglued like 80 dollar coins around the school in random locations. On the hallway signs, on the roof, on the floor. For the whole time I was there after that year there you'd see people try to pick up the coins, before realising they're superglued. One of thes was on a roof beam and it became a school tradition to jump up and see if anyone could pull it off.
Not from down under, but my school banned the seniors from pranking due to 2 big pranks. One was getting over 100 cups, filling them with water, and fliping them so if they were picked up they would spill water everywhere. The second prank that broke the schools administrations back was the fact they filled all the stairways with balloons and some idiot jumped into it and broke his leg.
he really thought the balloons would catch him 🤣💔 poor thing
@@resurrectionkratos skill issue
Diverted 1 lane of traffic through the tennis court loop road, the other went through the monastery, all went onto the footy fields. Took 40 min for the cops to start breaking it up...
Same year 12 students filled up the principals office with bean bag filler, start of school next year they were still digging them out.
My school had prank day, and by prank day they meant "Every dude will do the same prank of bringing a dozen crickets to school and letting them loose in the bathrooms to get the bathrooms shut down for the day due to infestation, meaning there was 1 usable toilet for boys in the nurses office, and oh yeah you have to get there from wherever you classroom is, piss/ or #2, and get back to your next class in 3 minutes or face punishment for being late. Hahaha, what a great prank!" and mind you , this is a school with 2 separate buildings and 4 floors to each.
My prank would be to make a new bathroom in the classroom
We have senior prank day in America.
Notable ones from my school:
- someone taped a bunch of fish to the ceiling in the cafeteria / all over in areas hard to reach the night before
- someone filled the vents with manure
- someone lit a hay bale on fire and rolled it at the school (no one got hurt)
one year, a senior (your year 12) prank on the rival school was putting a dead version of a mascot in their pool:
a dolphin.

34 years ago, we pushed a 'donor' vehicle from the auto mechanical workshop out the back and hid an oxy acetylene set in the bushes.
We came back that night to cut the car in half, transport both halves to the quadrangle area and welded the car halves around the flag pole.
It was one of the more obvious things done on that day.
We silk screened 500 posters advertising a Gay dance at a rival boys school and put them on telegraph poles in a 20km radius of the school, the year was 1977 so it was quite controversial.
It made the radio, TV and newspaper’s and the principal had to issue a statement reassuring parents.
They came and ripped down our goalposts.
Someone a few years before my graduation wrote Leavers (whatever the year was) in 7 foot high letters (the building had a large dome on top of the building) using rubber cement.
The building in question was cut into a steep hill and could be seen from all over the school.
The school removed the cement, but it permanently damaged the paint and undercoat. It could be seen for years.
We have muckup day in America. It's called senior prank day. Best one I remember? Guy bought 1000s of cockroach eggs online and hid them in the vents.
Oh god thats almost as bad as glitter in the main AC unit.
I do love how articulate the story telling is to the reckless behaviour love it
at the school i went to Muck up day was scaled back from the usual shenanigans down to an obstacle course and series of activities. The obstacle course consisted of a slip and slide with jagged rocks under the tarp, slingshots firing rotten eggs and frozen water ballons. My mate got smashed in the temple just as he stood up from the end of the slip and slide. got a concussion from it too.
If giving someone a concussion is scaled back I would hate to see what they used to do, I assume it involved mustard gas.
@@GAHAHAHH Nah, its a very country school, a teacher was almost ran over by a tractor while their car was vandalised. I wasn't their at the time though, so even crazier things could have occured.
During the last muck up day at our school, a kid got taped to an outside wall high enough that a step ladder was needed. The subsequent year was my graduation year and the principal threatened to fire any teacher that cooperated by giving kids access to classrooms.
American here, but we did have a "senior prank" which sounds similar to your muck up day.
Ours was banned due to bees. Many, many bees.
harsh. but hilarious.
ours seem pretty tame compared to some of these.
* students noticed a disliked teacher had parked right near a street sign. a few boys got together and lifted the rear-end of the car up against the sign post. it wasn't the smallest of cars either so i don't know how they got it so high. they had to call services in to get it down safely.
* a teacher left their car window slightly down. students got in and shoved eggs under the car seat cover (driver's side). the result was quite bad and long lasting, especially considering that it happened in weeks of peak Central Queensland summer heat (37°C to 45°C and high humidity). I'm pretty sure that the seat had to be replaced.
Mischievous night here in England, mostly a night of egging rando's houses. Got challenging getting the eggs in advance when the shops were told by the police not to sell them to kids, until my mate's dad started buying them for us, absolute legend.
@peepeeluvr6900 Yeah, that's a bit fucked. I think when you're risking arson and manslaughter charges you need to have a bit of a think
We hid a dead pig on the ceiling, it took until fluids starter running down on the students for it to be noticed and cleaned.
They removed all ceilings from all rooms after that.
Damn, these stories make my muck day sound tame as. Although having a Police Officer permanently on staff really put a bit of a kibosh on our extra-curricular activities.
good 😂
super glue in the school door locks, students got locked out of their classes when they returned from lunch, classes canceled :-)
Senior pranks got banned at our school because there was a crosstown rivalry that ended in a bucket of deer urine being dumped on a kid. Oh yeah, and the vandalism.
I've got 2. One kid got tied to a tree in a near by nature reserve and forgotten about for a few hours.
And, our high school shared a fence with a kindergarten. Some seniors on muck up day brought eggs to piff at the little kids next door. Now year 11s and the kindergartners are told to stay home on muck up day. Also they basically bade a middle fenced off area with a security guard and everyone had to stay in the little zoo and if any trouble was caused you were kicked out and had to do your exams at another school
The thing about our senior pranks here in the US is that schools never sanctioned them to begin with. They are strictly against the rules and you can't ban something that's already against the rules. That's why they continue every year and its part of what makes it so fun. And they know they'll happen, its basically a rite of passage. They did them too.
muck up day is usually just a chance for the kids to get dressed up and have fun, the pranks are not sanctioned at muck up day either. my year level was really chill, most people just got really drunk and went to school. i heard a rumour that one of the teachers got his mailbox stolen, but thats about it
As someone who works for public schools and has to help them manage their budget, I can tell you the things here that cost a ton of money end up meaning that in future years maintenance doesn't get done or the HVAC system doesn't get installed or the teachers don't get raises as inflation rises, or they have to cut field trips and sports programs.
It just ends up sucking for future students. But what does this old man know.
We call it muck up day in Scotland, too. I mind the guy who looked a bit like Andy Murray did a giant, very unflattering chariacture of one of the maths teachers on the top of the techie block. It had a sexually deviant speech bubble, cant quite remember what it said, but he got a massive cheer from all the classrooms when he was spotted out there with the mop
When the comment came up about the teachers chasing the chickens, I internally cued The Benny Hill Show theme music. Gold
My dad had a guy who would come in, refuse to drop off the machine he was concerned about and ask for used gaskets and sparkplugs. -_- He used my dad as a captive audience for his ramblings.
muck up day was banned at our school because a group of students went 7 hours before school started, broke in the school and they had 5 three liter buckets full of cow faeces. The pummeled it everywhere, in the school halls, the cafeteria and even the school nurses office. When the teachers eventually arrived 1 hour before the students, they smelled the disgusting stench and immidielty went to check as they initially thought that it was the drain pipes were broken. When they found the horrific incident, they called every parents and demanded that their child went to school. They searched the security cameras and when they saw the students the students didnt even get expelled. They just got suspended for a month. and when they came back they had detention for that month of absence. it was awesome
In my school, as a prank, people covered the hallway with olive oil and let a live goat free in the halls. Sadly the goat broke a leg (or something) because of the olive oil, it flew down a flight of stairs and, the goat had to be euthanized.
Oh that's sad
R.I.P GOAT
You legend
I will never understand these people. What if that had been a person? Why would you ever risk someone's life for a "prank".
💔
Our school banned muck up day after a drug ring led by the IT department was accidentally uncovered after students stole the boarders’ shoe laces and found a bunch of drugs. The code word for drugs was “shoes”. Also a couple years before this a few boarders managed to get a cow on the third floor and the year after that a student stole a human skeleton from the science department too, so public image was already bad and I guess news of the staff-led drug ring didn’t help
Sometimes I forget that friendlyjordies is a warhammer channel
From Adelaide in the 80s, I remember a school making the news for their year 12s moving gravestones to their school oval. From there no other schoosl could compete.
I'm glad that I got to have a muck up week - we had a week at my school. Visited Luna Park wearing Hawaiin shirts on one of the days, then the rest were all themed (wearing other schools' uniforms, tradies appreciation with high vis clothes, etc.).
No one did anything extreme.
What WAS extreme was the "scav hunt" that Year 12 students from across the Greater Newcastle Area would take part in. I didn't though. I had enough festivities at high school.
Our year had the usual pesticide penis, but the year above us did a pretty impressive prank. Some students bought the worst, cheapest car they could find and on the night before muck up week they did donuts on the oval. The car got stuck because it dug up too much grass, so they either left it there overheating, or set it on fire. Either way there was a burnt out car in the middle of the oval when everyone got to school the next day. They couldn't get it out quickly because the ground was too torn up for a tow truck to get close enough. It was removed at some point over the Christmas break.
I went to an all boys boarding school so you know I have a few muck-up day stories. To put it simply muck-up day at my school was eventually banned because one too many year 7s were whipped/locked in a cupboard for the night. They deserved it I swear.
By far the best pranks/pranks that went too far were;
Someone releasing a cow in the clock tower of the school. A little know fact about cowes is that while they can go down stairs they absolutely refuse to go back down. They had to remove a window and use a crane to get it out.
An asian kid got taped to the ceiling and when they were forced to let him down they instead taped him to his mattress and carried him down to the pool. Originally they were going to throw him in like that but thankfully someone decided to let the poor guy go and just throw his mattress in instead. The school ended up having to drain the entire pool because it was impossible to get the waterlogged mattress out (and maybe also because someone threw a heap of dye into it too).
This is going back to a couple years before my time there but one principal was really hated so some the entire firsts rugby team got together to carry his car (an old beatle) to the ampithreatre -read pit with stairs on all sides- and left it there.
We had a stairwell that was completely enclosed with a cage and had large metal gates at the top and bottom. Long story short a group of students decided to wait for the rush between classes to lock as many students as they could in there before spraying them down with a fire house. These poor guys got covered in this black foul smelling gunk water they came out of the hose. Please keep in mind a single uniform (minus the blazer) costs at least $150.
BONUS: Not my school but a seperate boarding school. At this school one of the students was very angry with the school principal, I never found out why though. To get back at the principal the student decided to kidnap his poodle while he was visiting the boarding house and fuck it. This guy FUCKED A POODLE to get back at the principal. It goes without saying we was instantly expelled.
EDIT: I just remembered there was one more major one. On a very hot summer day this guy decided to RIP THE TOILET off the floor, place it in the urinal and take a fat dump in it. Apparently when the cleaning lady saw the mess she had a full mental break and refused to touch it and tbh I don't blame her. All this I found out during an after school detention I got for skipping assembly (literally because it was almost exam block and we wanted to study) as the kid the kid was lectured by the teacher in charge. How did he get caught? The dumb brat posted the video of him doing it on insta and, I shit you not, tagged the school. The worst part was he was only given a 30 minute detention while my friends and I had to do an hour. I guess when daddy has enough money you can do whatever the hell you want without consequences
yes, some of those kids were quite small, made It almost inevitable
@@phillipeandreewich5993 Small and annoying for sure. The one thing I did notice was that after muck-up day was banned the younger kids decided they could do whatever they wanted including messing with the grade 12s, something that when I was in their grade I wouldn't have even considered doing
In America, we do have a "Senior Prank Night" and at my state run children's home, we broke into the recreation building via a rooftop access hatch and disassembled the door to the gymnasium so that the electric cart Security rides around campus could be rolled right on inside, where the door was reassembled (with industrial glue in the hinges) and we knew that because they couldn't get it out, they wouldn't be able to sneak up on us smoking weed in the cornfield after graduation the next day.
The majority of kids and young adults do go too far, over the past two decades. There's a difference between good fun and going too far. Kids need too think twice if they want the to go to Law School. You can't be a Lawyer if you have a criminal record from Muck up day. Just keep it in your school. Yeh, I know, I'm a kill joy. There is a fine line between fun and illegal activities.
A bunch of the seniors in nsw bubble wrapped the principals car and some how managed to carry it 50 yards to the pool which was being cleaned and threw it in there
In the US we have Senior prank. at same point someone put an unimaginable amount of live chickens in every classroom. then it was banned. in the us we have senior prank followed by senior skip day where they also skip the day that the teachers find the shit
Edit: it seems that they were not creative
"an unimaginable amount of live chickens in every classroom" - not sure about not being creative but this is bad enough, I can't imagine the cleanup after that
jesus with crocs is a canon event
At our school in NZ we had a "senior prank" which was rather tame compared to the video and comments, used window markers and wrote stuff like class of 2022 among other things. They also glued coins to the ground and some of the lamps, a friend with a ruler got them and then went to the canteen. also, toilet paper. Certainly tame compared to anything else here. Still thought it was funny
Gluing coins to the ground? You didn't happen to go to a jewish college did you?
Nope, just a regular old kiwi school, no private school BS. Public school with no religion tied to it. Except for the fact that the rooms are numbered in maori.@@vincere_
These people are confusing pranks with felony vandalism and eco-terrorism.
