 |  |  | Freaking people out in drains
< on 9/21/2005 9:02 PM >
|  | | | I love to go into gutter boxes or be under grates and shout bizzarre stuff at people up above. Do any of you do this? Just the other day there was some guy mowing his lawn, and I yelled up at him "Hey! How about some food down here! I'm hungry!" He came over and pressed his face against the grate, but I was hidden and he went back to mowing. I'm careful not to do it too much, or to the same people. I tend to do it at the end of a drain, that way I'm on my way back and cops will have a harder time catching me.

| | | | Yea ive done that once or twice before, some kids were playing in their yard about twenty feet away from the grate, so we couldnt resist it. They ended up telling their parents, who wouldnt believe that there were monsters in the storm drain. we heard the whole argument from beneath the street. But its still more fun to pop a man whole in the middle of a neighborhood.

| | | | I've popped a manhole in a public area before too. I actually wasn't the one to come out. My friend did. After finally prying the thing off, he stood outside for a few minutes, then jumped back in and told us there was a guy mowing his lawn, and he was afraid he was going to call the cops.

| | | | Haha, I haven't done that yet. The people around here would probably spazz out and immediately call the cops. Oh well, its worth a shot. ;)

That's a good one. Or maybe on halloween, as I'm too old to Trick or Treat, I can go into a drain and scare the shit out of the younguns.

| | | | Sometimes I get a kick out of scaring the hell out of people in a certain large tunnel system in my area. Its all in good fun and keeps people on their toes. Nobody has lost an eye yet although there have been a few cuts and bruises and rumors of broken ribs. But thats only from people who freak out and run away screaming like little girls before finding out who scared them.

| | | | Its a very long story, but it was mostly they were a nervous group of individuals more than anything. They knew several groups of people would be exploring in those tunnels that night and there was a prearranged sign. We flashed them the sign and they were too busy talking and making enough noise we heard them about 300 yards and several tunnel bends away. I was at the front of the group I was with and had everyone turn off lights and get in shadows. When the noisy ones came up to a four way junction I was just standing there flashing them the signal from the other side of a mass of telco wires.
Like I said they never saw the sign and were being noisy enough to be heard a long ways off. Not very smart or safe. I knew they werent "supposed" to be there and recognised some of them. So I decided to give them a lesson in learning the eloquence of silence. In my best military instructor/security voice I yelled "STOP RIGHT THERE!" well they did right away and turned to look my way. Since I didnt want them to recognise me I turned on my headlamp spotlight and shined right at them. They had the perfect deer in the headlights look and puddles of yellow at the feet thing going on. At this time they were all fairly new to exploring too, just wanted to point the semi obvious out.
Since I had undivided attention I started having a little more fun. I yelled "PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM AND COME SLOWLY TOWARDS THE LIGHT". A couple started coming as ordered but then the ones at the end of the group looked at the light and then looked over thier shoulders down a very narrow and obstacle laden tunnel. I was already laughing by the time they all slowly turned around and took off at a sprint down said tunnel. Now if you have ever been in a utility tunnel you know what the large hangers look like right? These things were on both sides and at a normal sedate pace you have to turn sideways often to get by. These guys sprinted down that tunnel facing full forward. We heard them running all the way to an exit and the exit slamming shut several minutes later.
I was laughing so hard I had tears coming down my face. The rest of my group loved it too! It was all in fun and no harm was meant besides a good scare and a lesson learned about noise control.
A week or two later I saw a couple of them at a dinner event we had and had probed slighty on the private forums about increased security and such. They totally bought into it. At the dinner one of them lifted his shirt to show me huge scrapes and bruises that he received running full tilt down the narrow hall and said one of them got broken ribs or something like that. I kept a straight face as did the others that were with me and felt a little bad but not for long. They eventually found out through a loose lips person it was me but there was really nothing that was my fault. If they would have listened to me and not ran away we would have had a good laugh and gone on exploring. They decided to run away so in my opinion the damage was deserved and not my problem. On a brighter note I have heard of others running into them exploring and they have learned that silence really is golden.
Ive done similar things on other occasions and every time I scare the crap out of whoever is at the receiving end. This story is just one of the better ones and even has a moral to the story.
Its like an Aesops fable without the animals.

| | | | Funny you mention it...
Once, We were going through a drain in the middle of a mall and I went up a side tunnel. I stopped in a small grate and looked up. I heard voices coming closer. I stayed quiet until the two women walked over the grate and then I yelled... you shoulda seen their faces....
Another time we popped a manhole in a crosswalk.... yeah...
EDIT: Shooting fireworks out of a gutterbox is also fun...

| | | | making noises like people having kinky freaky sex, or imitating an english tea party, theyre things you dont like to hear coming out of a drain... and yes ive done both. sad aint it  , i think i do remember one of my friends coming along for a tunnel run and pretending to be attacked by leprachauns, and when this kid came up to the drain the guy thrusted his hands out of nowhere and started grappling air in the kids direction, ive never seen a kid bolt that fast.
Im bored... message me on msn :)

| | | | Yesterday with some other board members, we popped out of steam tunnels and had to very curious people come to talk to us, not really freaking out, but still kinda cool.
Iv freaked people out too tho, very casually, like asking for a smoke from under a grate.

| | | | Those stories are too funny! If anyone caught me walking past a grate, id try to talk to the drain wondering how to get in. Either that or run!

| | | | I'm going draining just today (probably), and have a whole list of phrases to shout out. This particular drain goes through Redneck Central, with lots of gutter boxes and grates.
BTW, if you're a drainer, please join the Drainer's board. It's a ghost town. I'm sure there are way more drainers than the 10 or so on that board!
