Default Speaking of snipe hunts

So, have you played a practical joke on someone along the lines of a snipe hunt? I was thinking about this because of the coincidence of seeing the movie UP recently and, well, sending someone on a snipe hunt yesterday.

I went to Home Depot yesterday to get some penetrating oil. I was kinda pissed that the company that installed my pond filtration and pump system didn't use marine grade washers, so when I went to change out a faulty auto-fill I was met with a couple of corroded washers trying to make my life miserable.

A helpful (you know, annoyingly cheerful) employee asked what they could do to assist me. I asked where they kept the metric crescent wrenches. She pointed to the tool crib and I told her that they only had English crescent wrenches in their but that the web site said they had both kinds at the store. I felt kinda bad when she went to ask the "tool guy" where the metrics were but almost fell down laughing when the tool guy said he'd look in the back (he was serious!).

To be fair, I fell for the "left handed hammer" snipe hunt when I was five - haven't trusted my dad since
