OHB = overhead bin? Jeez. I guess I should thank my lucky stars I've only gotten phone calls!
Hey, Amber, care to help a fellow FA out with some devious paybacks?
How about this deal -- you teach me FA stuff and I'll teach you Cougar stuff.

Oh yeah, the OHB pranks!

I got a call from the a-line that there was an overhead bin that wouldn't open. So I took my leatherman and started heading back to see what I could do.

I popped it open and there's a flight attendant in there that screamed "BOO!"

I nearly shat myself.

Pick on the engineer, will ya?

Didn't you boys learn anything from the incident in SFO. Rattle the cage of a tiger (cougar) and she may just rip your leg off and feed it to you.

If they drink coffee and want it black, load it up on sugar. They'll never know and it's fun to watch their faces pucker when they get that first sip. Of course replace said coffee with normal once you're done laughing.

If their overnight bags are in the cabin, you can have lots of fun with that. I liked the oversized underwear and love note tucked inside their bag, or the paper "dots" from hole punch machines would work well too.

Thanks for the ideas....Underwear and love note are funny, paper dots are cute. Still looking for something a little more heart-pounding, though....Beware Matt and Mark.....

WC, Call them pretending to be from Pinnacle HR to schedule an interview.

Or you could be from Continental.

I once had an F/A put about 15 full cans of soda in my overnight bag. When I tried to lift it, I about stroked out.

Put a scissors with 3" blades (so he won't get into trouble with TSA) into his bag. Tsa will open the bag after it goes through the xray because they can't tell how long the blades of the scissors are (4" are a no-no). Place paper with note of choice on top of the clothes in his bag so TSA and he sees it ("I like having sex with men" works well). Stand back and laugh 'til you puke.

Locate 3 hole punch. Remove dots. Place dots in eye ball vent and close.

Perhaps I'll just pick up some black market uranium and carbon-12 on my next Moscow trip and slip those into his flight kit.

Now you are on the right track!

Seriously, I think I may have found the perfect prank, and you posted it another thread...

Two things come to mind, they're probably both a little too late.

Undo the latches on his flight kit and the next time you see him say something along the lines of "be careful when you open that". In 13 years he'll call you in tears asking "what the **** did you do to my bag!!!??".

Or soon after you found the sticker, prank call him as 'insert name' from the TSA. Tell him that the TSA does not find anything that compromises passenger safety funny and you will be contacting his chief pilot. I'd probably poop myself if i got that call.

We got a guy once by zip tying all his clothes in his overnight bag. 3 ties per article of clothing, and all of it was tied together.

He got to the hotel and found 10 yards of clothes, a small pair of scissors and a nice note.

The nylon zip ties are my favorite. I used to work as an electrician, I made a co-workers tools look like a big rubber band ball with all the zip ties.

Try this, remove all scissors from crew room, then get the zippers of the flight bag, jacket cuffs, or even better if his shoes ever come off, the string eyes hold a zip tie nicely.

He he, working with electricians was fun. We stapled all of one of our coworkers tools to the rafters in the attic while roughing in some stuff.

Shouldn't have taken our extention cord.

OOH FiveO, I'm not a guy so I'm not too into "brutal." I was thinking something "clever." After all, Matt and Mark are good guys!

I did that to a former coworker who sent a male stripper to my room when I was at a trade show in Vegas.

His wife was pissed initially but then when I let her in on the joke, she was cool with it...and pissed at her husband for the male stripper trick!

I'm still friends with them so it can't have been TOO bad.
