He started it
I work for a watercooler company and it is my job to repair broken machines and get them ready to go back into service. It is Karls job to prep and test every machine that leaves the building. I work in the main warehouse and Karl works in the cooler prep area separated from the warehouse by those big flappy door curtain thingies. As I have said, he started it.
Karl cannot resist splashing people with water or giving them a passing squirt with a spray bottle, it could be said I have gone a little too far in retaliation.
I have done many things to Karl like when I ran a pipe into a jacket hanging up in cooler prep, one end connected to a CO2 cylinder and the other end taped into a glove poking out of the jacket sleeve. He spots the glove, goes over to investigate, and I open the gas valve. Karl lept a good 4 foot in the air, not bad.
Using the pressure vessel from a sparkling water machine and another CO2 cylinder I have made a CO2 water cannon, effective wetting range of over 10 meters, more important, it can part the flappy door flaps and throughly soak a cheerfully gesticulating Karl. Other CO2 devices are a bluetack gun and a 3" polystyrene mortar.
I have also greased his screwdriver handles, pop riveted his tool trolley shut, chucked plumbers mait (plumbing putty that doesn't set and is very sticky) at the ceiling for it to fall onto his shoulder a week later and countless minor splashings and hiding of things.
Did I mention, HE STARTED IT.

p.s. his name is spelt with a "C" but as I am going to send him a link to this post, narr narr ne narr narr, I still owe you Karl
