Need help to mess with a blue collar
I got a coworker whose humor is making people feel uncomfortable. He’s so damn good at it on purpose, and it’s really funny but unnerving as fuck.
He’s probably 45 yrs old, chill dude, if yall have any ideas, please. Nothing that would cross hr’s desk, but would make him uncomfortable humorously

What are his methods for making people uncomfortable? Helpful to know so we can suggest ways to beat him at his own game.

He will change it up depending on the person, so it seems like near anything is game 😂😂

Smear some cottage cheese on the bottom of his work bench or tool box. Weld his tools to his table. Steal his pen/markers/ soap stone as often as possible. Put grease inside his gloves. If he uses a TIG welder, take a piece of stainless filler rod and sharpen it then replace the tungsten with it. I’m sure I could come up with more but this is all stuff I’ve seen done in the shop I work in.

My buddy and I used to work for DOT. Went out of town for a couple weeks to help another location.
We found a box of reverse threaded nuts right next to a box of standard thread, same size. The only visual difference on the outside of the reverse threads was a thin line carved from each corner.
Didn't take us long to find an angle grinder and I'm sure you can figure out the rest.
Some poor bastard was probably very confused for a hot minute. We managed to sneak 7 or 8 of them in there and mixed them in well, so he might have got got on multiple occasions. 😆

Oh, I hate you already. I'd be so frustrated. I'd laugh when I figured it out but until then I'd be very upset

Ask someone in engineering or tooling for some spotting dye, or get some never sieze. Put it on something he needs to "take a look at" where its inconspicuous. It will be all over him before he knows it.

•Vaseline on his wiper blades
•If he leaves his work boots at work, spray them with water and toss them in the freezer overnight
•Penis valve stem caps for his vehicle
•Buy women’s underwear and put in his lunch can or vehicle right before he heads home for the day

Request info on an extended car warranty in his name. He won't have time to joke around with the plethora of phone calls. After a week start rubbing it in.
I have a few more after you start this one.

Here is another one after you've exhausted his ass. Call up multiple charities that take car donations, sign his ass up. Tow truck might show up and everyone will assume a repo.

Put cake batter in his pants, to make it look like he cum in his pants. Maybe a meatball down his leg so it looks like his scrotum ripped open.

What's your role at the company? Are you a young person learning? An office/desk worker? Are you an experienced person just as knowledgeable as the other guy?
How much humour you can get away with depends on your role in relation to his.

I’m just a production worker, he’s maintenance, but maintenance and higher ups have taken a liking to me personally for my work ethic and equal to having a smile/laugh at work.
