You office types crack me up with your weak-ass trolling. Tree work/rigging humour is far better..
Tying off the lead climbers rope at the base of the tree so they can go neither up, nor down is the classic. Genuinely nothing they can do about it til you untie them. Also, demonstrating knots on new starters by trussing them up in the yard and fucking off to the cafe.
Chucking the new guys lunchbox/kitbag/phone into the back of the truck before chipping several tons of wood over it.
Locking someone in the back while they're taking a piss(tree men piss on the woodchip in the truck) and tipping the back up so they end up pinned to the back doors covered in piss and chips.
Stealing/reversing the chains, draining the fuel and fucking around with the carbs on another teams saws before they head out in the morning.
Probably mostly only funny to other tree guys but physical laddish trolling is still alive and well in the industry. I have experienced all these and more. It's immature and potentially dangerous but y'know, whatever gets you through the long winter days..
It doesn't quite top Pantone Blues levels of physical abuse but the nutters I work with try their best.
