ehh, its not all that uncommon of an issue. if someone has a well, and you shut the power off, the well pump wont work and they can't flush. I also sell a toilet that requires electricity to work...you don't plug it in, you don't flush it.

We used to play alot of pranks on the new guys in my unit when
i was still in the corps.
"Hey new guy go find me a stack of ID10T forms." Most guys would spend an hour or so asking the people in the admin shops for these idiot forms.
"Hey take a trash bag out to aircraft whatever and get me some APU " aux power unit" exhaust samples." Watching these guys stand on a ladder with a trash bag filling it up with exhaust fumes for an hour or so was always a good laugh.
Sometimes it back fires tho..
The airframes shop got a new guy in once and asked him to go get 50ft of flight line. Our mech/engine shop was called flight line and most of the time the new guy would go there and ask for it and get ruffed up a little bit. But low and behold this guy was a retread who had actually used portable flight line
"a thick rubber type material that pieces together like puzzle pieces and is used in exercise areas that do not have normal airstrips and such"
Well he returns to his shop and lets his supervisor know that the flight line is on backorder. Supervisor thinks he figured out the joke and was being sarcastic. But 2 or 3 weeks later a flatbed tailor and truck shows up and the driver is looking for someone with a forklift to get this "flight line" off his tailor.
Our CO was not amused.

This is sad. But, a couple of elderly women almost died of heat stroke when their battery went dead at a mall parking lot. They didn't know how to manually open their car doors.
Another one:
Several years ago we had a rotary wall phone that had been left when we bought the house. One of my kids friends went to call home. I pointed out the phone and he just stared at it. He didn't know how to dial it.

One time when we little, my sister and I were in the car riding down the road, and we passed a cemetery. My sister says, "Dad, what happens when the M section fills up?" My dad tells her, serious as a heart attack, "They make you change your last name to something that starts with a Z." She believed him.
She was 8 at the time, though. We still tease her about that.

We still pick on my son for looking for the little guy that turns off the refrigerator light when the door is shut when he was a toddler. We had him looking for about a week!!!

My favorite new guy prank was to tell them to check the tire air pressure on the Hummer.
When I was a kid my neighbor pulled that on his kid with his front end loader. I wasn't expecting it either.
