View Full Version : Where Can I Rent a Denver Boot? Or Other Way to Keep Somebody at Work

My boss' wife called me and asked if I could get him to stay late at work Friday. It's his birthday and she has some special surprise planned and can't get there until a bit later than our usual leaving.
I was thinking about trying to fake some awful crisis but it wouldn't work. He's basically a decent guy and when stuff happens late in the day he usually says to deal with it the next day.
I was thinking about letting the air out of one of his tires and bringing a pump with me but I don't want to damage it.
That's when I thought of a Denver boot. That would certainly keep him from driving away. Anybody have one I could rent?
If not - any suggestions? It has to be legal and not damaging to anything.
Steve
How late do you need to keep him?

Boot idea probably wouldn't be good as IIRC it is illegal for private parties to possess.
Do you have an accomplice that can double park behind him or "break down" where it would block him in?
Flat tire idea always works, especially if your wife can convince him that you have an air tank or similar and you can milk it for extra time.
What kind of work does he do?

Grab his key and hide it. Or.. go take couple fuses out.

I need to keep him for an hour to 90 minutes. I'm in the Tech center. Blocking him in wouldn't work since he has a new fancy car. He parks it at the far end of the parking lot where nobody is close to him. I suppose 4 of us could block him in but it would be suspicious.
Actually, letting air out wouldn't work since he has run flats.

90 minutes? Holy crap dude. May the Force be with you.
Do you know a cop or a tow truck driver who could "take" the car for an hour or so?
Siphon out his gas?
Get the keys and park it somewhere else?
Pull all his starter plugs?
I was going to suggest spray painting his windshield, so he'd have to scrape if off with a razor to be able to drive. However, paint of any kind next to a nice car is a big no no. I thought of soap like high school kids use to write all over their cars, but that wipes off way too easily.
I think with a nice new car, you may want to look into ideas that don't actually involve the car, as that is just bad juju.
If you know the business well enough to make a fake call, you could call the line for deaf people and that could take up some time. You just log on with a translator, and type out everything you want them to say, then they have to read it to the person you had them call. That might be a good way to make a normal call much longer, and you won't have to worry about cracking up under pressure since it is all in type.

Agreed, even as a joke, I wouldn't screw with someones car. That's a good way for feelings to get hurt, and if someone spray painted my windows, I would kick their ass and key their car

I could get a spare set of keys from his wife but if I just did something like hide the car, he'd call the cops. If I did something obvious like disconnect the battery, he'd figure it out in a second. His Dad was a mechanic and he does all his work on his cars.
We're engineers in the broadcast biz. Right now, I'm talking to company admin about a fake demand to keep him here. Something like the fire marshall wanting something from us by close of business Friday or such. We have a data center filled with high end computer equipment.

Throw a "surpise" party to divert him from the suprise.. With strippers and, fire engines and, explosions and, donkeys and,,,,

Why not throw a small B-day party for him at the office and keep him as long as needed? That way you avoid all the sneaking around, possible pranks, messing with someone's personal property. He would probably be less to the wise of anything going on with the wife that way too! Not a good idea to mess with someones property.

maybe work with your local IT about disabling his badge, NT login, etc, and then have a bunch of forms he has to fill out to get that all setup again. And stating that it has to be done immediately.
ok I'll be the grumpy one.....
if she's putting together a birthday surprise caper this sounds like something she should have figured out instead of dumping on you.
just sayin'
have her call him and say her car broke down and ask if she can borrow his. she stops by to get his car and tells him to get a ride home with you. then you can cook up any number of things. working late, errands, strip club for an hour, whatever.

Yep - have a little 'office party' for 90 min.
I like the work party idea the best. I'll come.

I'm getting stuck here. the company party just wouldn't fly. We're Swiss owned and they have definite ways of doing everything. (I think the technical term is stick up the butt.)Their proper way to celebrate a birthday, or anything else, is to do a long lunch and we are doing it Friday. They do some other events after work off-site but non of the Americans attend.
The wife is having problems with the child care but I'm thinking about telling her to work it out since nothing seems to be workable. He'd never go to a tittie bar and is such a family guy he just wants to go home after work.
Steve
If the wife can't work it out, how about just telling him?
Hey man, you're wife is planning something for your birthday. She'll need about 90 minutes to prepare. Man, she sure loves you. Think you could stay here at work for a while and file papers or something?
Can you ask him out for a drink? Since his wife has your number apparently, tell him that you already okay'd it with her. I wouldn't want to be in your position.
Tell him you need to pick one of your cannons up from the cannon shop and you could really use his help loading it into your truck.

I kind of felt bad for the donkey...
sounds like a pretty tough guy to keep around for an extra 90 minutes. can't you talk him into hitting up the bar, or better yet take the battery off your car and ask him to help you, or deflate one of your tires and get him to help you put on the spare. you can make that take at least 45 minutes.

Isn't the car going to be in the shop that Friday?

Methinks that you're really just interested in the donkey.
Good luck Steve, I'm tapped for ideas other than the one someone else suggested about claiming YOUR car is in the shop and needing a ride home (perhaps with a stop @ Home Depot to "pick something up" along the way.

Ummm- you could always tell him that you are having an affair with his wife and it will take an hour and a half to explain........
Probably not a good plan.
Why tell him?[Tooth]
Just kidding BTW.
Seriously though maybe playing it straight with him is the best plan given what you have described of him.
Besides if you try some elaborate scheme he will either A- figure it out or B-get all weirded out and by the time he gets home his mood is shot.
This is way to much pressure. I'd just quit.

So far I haven't thought of anything that would work that wouldn't get me fired, arrested or lose a friendship. I appreciate the help. There's enough twisted guys so I figured it was worth a try.
I'm going to try to talk the president's admin into calling a fake meeting at that time. We have a stinkburger of a project that is in continual crisis so this would be believed.

shoot him in the foot that will really eat up some time.
or i guess you could just take him out to dinner and a drink if that seems easier.
Call HR and tell them that he's been threatening to fire you if you don't go to bed with him. Don't mess with his car though, that'd be over the line.

Someday it will happen.
Don't forget the cameras for a lot of pictures of you and the donkey. Video would be nice for thr action shots.

Well, who is it you work for, your boss or his wife? Like what was mentioned earlier; come clean w/the boss, but ask him not to let it out. That way, your boss will realize you're faithful to him not his wife. Never hurts to increase the shade of brown.

a Floating ball right down the pipe in slow-Motion, Begging to be knocked out of the park.
not unlike like finding the Pretty girl that got drunk to soon passed out in your room.
If the shoe fits?
You are what you eat?

I always knew you were an ass?

I've just given up and handed it back to his wife. He is such a family guy that nothing gets in the way. Personally, I go nuts living that way. My wife is fine with whatever I do as long as I let her know when I won't be around.

Taze him, tie him up, stuff him in his trunk. Let him out after an hour and tell him his wife made you do it.
