This just happened to me yesterday...
Go to use the hand sanitizer in the front compartment. Well a little sticky for sanitizer.....F^*K its glue!!! At least they left me a real one too
Then as the day goes we did something like five or six calls within the morning hours of a 0700h-1900h shift...now in the front again look down at the AM/FM radio clock...YES! 0415h.....or not Got excited for nothing...revenge will be sweet.
Try this one
After off-load in the ER if a crew leaves their stretcher unattended lower the side rails and tape the sh!t out of them to the frame. If they don't notice then when they goto load it into the back they'll never get it in right. As we all have seen, once you have it lifted like a forbidden curse some guys will not pull it back out to figure it out but struggle for about 2-3 minutes....just please use porous tape for easy rip incase of a high priority call. (this should work for almost any type of stretch but mainly the 35A or 35P models if that makes sense to everyone in different areas)
Or how about rubbing your partner's leg or neck when they're trying to do a skill or assessment...again only with a partner you know will find it funny and on low priority calls where the patient won't know but you partner sure will.
Get a test page from dispatch when partner is sitting on the toilet, especially if they have been complaining they need to go for the last 2 hours.
oh and one more....sorry I keep thinking of things we've done.
At the end of shift take your 5'4" tall partner's lunch kit, coat or anything else and put it on top of the box of the ambulance, then sit back and enjoy/take pictures.
The day I stop having fun at work is the day I stop going to work.

When working rural EMS we were sent out for a VSA. We shocked her once, GCS returned within minutes. At a later date we were visted from this women at our base. She brought a thank-you card, a cake, and her happiness. It was then I realized what it is we actually do (sometimes), we 'save lives' not just resuscitate bodies.
This women now can continue to enjoy life, her family, and spread her joy which she is full of....I'll never forget my lession.
BTW this was two years ago and she is still going, happier then ever!
Classic EMS pranks...

Just to add to my post for newbies starting out.
Be careful how much you do play because it can easily become annoying, find a balance and you'll have a great career.
