‘The radio began to emit smoke’: Electricians get even with floor crew following their refusal to turn off radio

Incompetent employees seem to enjoy the bittersweet taste of causing their coworkers to roll their eyes a dozen times more than the average person on a daily basis. The wild goose hunt in making them listen to reason begins, but only a handful of workers are willing to attempt chasing the unattainable. In this case, it was less incompetence, and more so a blatant lack of respect towards people sharing the workspace. OP was working as a part of a big crew as an electrician for a multinational's pet food brand offices.

The floor workers were blasting loud music on the radio while the electricians were trying to do their job, and it was incredibly difficult for them to concentrate considering the kind of work they were doing. So they politely asked the floor crew to turn it down. This request was met with refusal. So the electricians got busy hatching a plan for petty revenge. They decided that they'd make sure that this radio never worked again, and they were true to their intent.
