While pranks can be fun, sometimes they end up badly.
In my old offices, we had a couple pranksters that kept trying to outdo one another.
First Tom plastic wrapped Dick's cubicle, and filled it with packing peanuts.
A few months later having forgotten about things, Tom came to work on Monday to find his office filled 6ft deep in shredded paper.
Tom waited about 6 months to exact his revenge. He bought a goat at the farmers market, and snuck it in to Dick's new office.
He left buckets of water and feed for the goat, just assuming there would be a mess to clean up. Besides being a mess of piss and goat shit, the goat ate portions of the desk, and pretty much most of a $1200 dollar leather chair.
At that point Tom was told if he wanted to maintain employment he would have to pay for the damages, and knock off the pranks.
A few weeks later, flyers began appearing in common areas that accused Tom of being a member of the KKK, and appearing in videos fucking farmyard animals.
Tom responded by setting up a website that was a duplicate of the state child molester registry, but inserted Dick's name as a repeat offender. He sent email with the link of his site company wide. Tom and Dick were both fired by the end of the day.
