Yeah, I see nothing wrong with trading stories. It's a pretty common ice-breaker in conversations.
And yes, I have seen some goofy things in this business. Most of our belly laughs come from stupid customers or stupid erection contractors.
But in the office, we have a blast with little pranks. Like the time I got a new Dewalt screw gun delivered to the office. I screwed the boss' desk drawers shut - from the back! Funniest part was, after he spent 45 minutes on his back with a phillipshead screwdriver taking out the (15) 3" screws, I was standing in his doorway with the screwgun in my hand saying, "Why didn't you just ask to borrow this?"
Or the time we turned the volume down on his handset of his phone, so when he got a call and picked it up, he couldn't hear anything. Then when he'd go out to the front office to complain to the secretary, we'd put the volume back to normal...
Or we'd wait until he was all the way across the room on the way out to the men's room or someplace, and we'd ring his phone. Just as he'd make it back to his desk, we'd hang up..... over and over....
Oh, I have dozens of them.

As long as you are not doing it in order to sell anything to anyone, it is fine. I mean, Mr. Minkin in no way sells, but we all know where to go when we rip up our seats.
And I am sure that as a structural engineer, you must have some funny stories.
