Workplace Ritual Humiliations of Old

Striker
Wouldn’t be allowed these days due to health and safety but at my first workplace if it was your birthday you got tied to a wooden cross and pelted with rotten eggs/threw in a skip filled with rotten eggs. Other punishments included bein hung over forth floor balconies by your ankles, shrink wrapped to the town bridge naked in the middle of the night or being stripped, having your balls daubed in ink then iron filings fired all over them. God I miss those days. @Keith S30S or @The soap powder will probably be able to remember others as they worked there too. Any other outlawed workplace practices of old?

Where do you get rotten eggs from?
 
when an apprentice finished serving his time he'd get 'greased'. stripped and covered in all sorts of hacky stuff including axle grease round the bits and bobs.
i was a cheeky get as apprentice so i was given a bit of a rough 'un. all a rite of passage and wouldn't be tolerated nowadays.
i look back on those days with fondness tbh. leaving school and into a work environment with gadgies who taight me more than how to weld.
 
In the brewery, when they packaged a tank of beer into kegs, they had to take a set number of kegs off during the run and keep them to one side for testing to make sure the product was consistent before it went out.

I worked in the lab and would go down to a run of kegs to take the measurements and samples. Sometimes they added extra CO2 to one keg, so when I put my meter on the valve, it blew off showering me in beer. Then they'd pop up and tell me beer is good for my hair! The bastards!

were you in the foreign legion ?
 
Often fancied being a postie myself , stress free , exercise and fresh air 👍
Sounds like a cracking job tbh.I know a lad who had a well ran successful long term business and chucked the lot to be a postman.
He says they all moan like fuck like bairns and he tells them that they don’t know they are born.

Problem is Gilly with my looks would end up like the Confessions Of films .
If I were made redundant or felt stress at work was too much then wouldn’t mind trying it
 
I got locked in one of them giant water tanks that are up a height on giant stilt like legs. "Gan and check that tank youngun". Was in there for 2 hours or something.

Was the drains lads who done it, mainly this fat bloke called ray. He used to go in the drains but he must of been about 20 clem so it was funny as owt watching wiggle and force himself into a manhole . The day i got trapped in the tank, he`d been trapped in a manhole and i was slapping him round the heed with a rolled up kitchen towel.

Happier times
