Best gulibility tests you have failed
Discussion
Not quite 'gullible' but I was definitely taken for a fool.
I was taken to a zoo/park near the south coast when I was about nine with my family and they had a small building with about 8 different ropes coming out of it. Written above each rope was a different animal and the rope was meant to replicate how hard you'd have to pull to lift the animal off the ground. It got progressively harder the heavier the animal got and on the last rope was 'elephant'. With half a dozen kids hanging off this rope couldn't get this rope to budge...and so me and my brother investigated.
We looked inside the building and saw 7 of the 8 ropes on a pulley mechanism that allowed movement with different objects attached to the other end...sandbags or something similar.
The rope for the elephant was just wrapped around a structural beam of the building. I never felt so cheated in my life.

This one is nasty.
Not me but a mate. His girlfriend told him he'd got her pregnant. 15 years later, during the divorce he discovered HE had not.
9 years together, blessed with three kids, I went for a vasectomy. After a rummage about the surgeon said I didn't need the cut, as the pipes had never been properly plumbed in anyway. .........Not me but a mate.

Can't beleive anyone would do these things
Not me but we'd often stitch up the NIGs (New In Germany) on their first posting - send them off to the Tech Stores or RQMS for...
Long Weight
Replacement Bubble for a Spirit Level
Tartan Paint
Metric only Adjustable Spanner
Imperial only Hammer
Sky Hooks
Also, many of the older vehicles would have wheel stud/nuts that were threaded on one side opposite to the usual direction. That was always a good one as it's pretty much the first and most basic task a mechanic needs to do, take the wheels off. Amazing to see what the noobs would use to try and get them off.

Many years ago a hospital started a gene survey of new born children (forget why, some sort of research thing). Can't beleive anyone would do these things
It had to be quietly dropped as so many of the happy fathers actually weren't...
