Once upon a time, there was a Lead ramp agent named Jack. Jack was known for his love of his ramp tractor, which he would chain and padlock before going home at the end of his shift. He acted as if he owned the tractor and no one else could use it.
The other ramp agents found this behavior to be amusing, but they also found it to be a bit annoying. They decided to play a little prank on Jack by secretly switching the tractor’s keys with a different set of keys.
The next day, Jack arrived at work and went to his usual spot to find his beloved tractor. He unlocked the chain and padlock, but to his surprise, the tractor wouldn’t start. He tried the keys over and over again, but it was clear that something was wrong.
Jack soon realized that he had been pranked by his coworkers. He was not impressed, and he let them know it. “How dare you mess with my tractor!” he exclaimed. “I’ll have you all fired!”
The other ramp agents apologized and explained that it was just a harmless prank. They offered to help him fix the tractor, but Jack was still furious. He felt that his authority as Lead ramp agent was being questioned, and he refused to work with them.
From that day on, Jack never chained and padlocked his tractor again. He learned that while it’s important to take care of the equipment, it’s also important to have a good sense of humor and to not take oneself too seriously. The end.
