I know when I was coming up through my apprenticeship, journeymen would try and get me to fetch the craziest things. For example..a flex stretcher, yes I fell for it. I emptied a whole gang box looking for one. Good times and memories though!
So what about the rest of ya'll? Ever been sent after something fictional when you were coming up?
FYI: For my incorrect spelling of the Subject title, "Apprentice's" oops!

I've heard of one who fell for this.
I need a few ID-10-T's. Go see if you can find some. (IDIOT's)
Also the flourescent tube bender trick. They hand an apprentice a bender and tell him to bend them in a U-shape. Never seen it done, maybe urban legend?
Actually heard one today where they sent a fresh outta hs apprentice after powder-ed water.
Can't think of anymore off the top of my head.

One of the best comes from my days as an avionics tech, working on the flight line. They would send the new kid down to the other hangars to borrow a bucket of prop wash

From my buddy at the cabinet shop: Send somebody out (big shop, multiple bldgs) to get a grain stretcher, send him around awhile, then ask if it was the metric or standard strechter that he needed, then send him out again.
