like look at this:

"A friend put hand lotion on some coworkers' office door handles yesterday. This is where he found his desk this morning."



how is this appropriate. what loving offices are letting people prank each other? if i was a boss and my employees were pulling stunts like this i'd shitcan every last one of them.

pranks suck because you can't beat the poo poo out of the prankster anymore without them calling the police like a bitch.

I don't know, sometimes pranks are fun in that they build (or strengthen) camaraderie of coworkers. This leads to them working really well together and remaining in the office if one of the coworkers needs a hand with something.

The desk example in the OP probably doesn't happen in real life. It's usually stupid little poo poo. I remember once returning from lunch to find my office filled to the brim with folding chairs. I stood there momentarily stunned. Then they all helped clear it out. It's stupid poo poo, but it's funny and builds friendships. Most of those guys are people I reach out to to this day. This happened around 2001.

This may blow your mind, but most likely they are lying on the internet and none of those pranks actually happened. :eyepop:

real office pranks are great because you can just call a lawyer get a payday and keep your job, and sue again and again for all perceived forms of retaliation.

There was a group of people that liked looking at kiddie porn so because of that the other 99.9% of the site is guilty of the same thing by proxy you see.

PS don't mention SA had a kiddie diddler mod, we just ignore that part when we make fun of reddit.

at work years ago we used to get a day off to go see a padres game, but everyone would just go to the nearest parking lot grocery store and buy some kegs and fist fight with each other. Nothing makes the rest of a lovely work year feel great than getting to watch your bosses fight till the police show up.
