When I was in high school, one of my classmates drove a Volkswagen van. One day a bunch of us got the bright idea of pushing that VW into the school through the doors at the end of the hall. After we got it half way down the hall, we slid it sideways on the tile so it was completely perpendicular to the direction of the hall. There was very little clearance between the ends of the van and the lockers, only a few inches at each end.
All this happened within a couple of minutes, and then our group scattered to our classes, as the bell was about to ring. A little later the Principal discovered the VW blocking the hall. He got Roger, the driver of the VW out of class and the two of them maneuvered the van out of the school, but it must have taken 10 or 15 minutes and lots of full lock turns. I would have loved to have watched, but I was in class.
There was no damage to anything, and no one snitched about who put the van in the hall. But the Principal made it known that IT BETTER NOT HAPPEN AGAIN!!!
Roger was a little mad about it for a couple of days, but he got over it. We were all friends of his and admitted the prank to him after he cooled down. But he was careful to always lock the van after that.

Some people feel this was one of the most significant tractors offered by Allis-Chalmers in those days. Nothing in its weight or power class could match its performance.
