Fintan Ramblings

I had a chat with a couple of my friends and I was reminded about a time where we got our revenge.

It was so funny I thought I’d share it out with you lot.

It started when well met up in a pub and everyone found that they were getting weird phone calls at early hours in the morning.

The caller would say, “are you taking the piss” to “are you having a piss”

Now you can imagine being woken up at 3am thinking it must be an emergency to called at that time only to be greeted by a weird call “are you going to use the toilet”

Now lying in bed you would have  kept thinking it was odd, how hard is it to go back to sleep without going to the toilet after that call?
I laughed when nearly all of my mates after getting the call went to toilet.  What worried some of them is that they work away in Germany and their wives would answer the phone.
So we all did a bit of narrowing down to who could be doing this and even I had been accused, (even though it does not affect me as I could never hear the phone or anything once I am asleep.)
Someone pointed out that I was working with one of them so finally we worked out who it was.

John … it’s got to be John as he worked nights.
What it turned out to be that he worked nights at a factory doing the same thing night after night and he was bored out of his mind.
Every time a supervisor was out of the room he would use the phone and ring his friends.

So we hatched a plan… few weeks later
Knowing that he hated his job, he was still applying for jobs to get out of the “mad house”
We intercepted his post.
In one job he had been offered an interview and one friend that worked at a printers managed to get it to look the same and had it re-typed out.
In the letter he had to provide a urine sample and hand it to an interviewer (one of our friends was a nurse and gave us a urine sample bottle).

We put it all together and had it delivered to his house.

So we waited, …

Every Sunday we meet up at our local pub only to be met by an angry looking John.

How we howled with laughter when he read the letter.
To save time he was to hand in his urine sample and he placed it on the reception desk.
Wish we could have seen their faces.

Needless to say he didn’t get the job
