To think grow up!

[user1473756940]

I am at work. I am full of cold and groggy so I'm not sure this is bringing my tolerance levels down.

But it is a colleague's birthday and another colleague has decided to prank that colleague by putting cellophane on the toilet. There is one toilet in our office. They have emailed all to say they are doing this so that when birthday person comes out of their meeting and uses the loo this will be hilarious...

Said person is still in a meeting, I am dying for the loo, which is covered in cellophane. I am tempted to go and rip it up and tell them to grow up. Its not normal behaviour, and we are talking people in there 40s and 50s here.

I thought it was a stupid idea regardless of restricting my own toilet needs. Because IF the prank works then this will make a mess of the ONE toilet we all have to share!!!

I'm glad I don't work somewhere where ppl prank you. It would make me very nervous I think. Seems odd behaviour.

Glad you have taken it off.

If anyone says anything say that you are having a very heavy period and if they would like to clean that mess up then they can.

And then tell them to get to fuck.

Don’t disagree Rosehip which is why I pointed out the workplace isn’t suitable for pranks.

That was more to illustrate the difference between trying to humiliate or hurt someone in the name of ‘fun’ to relatively harmless stuff that doesn’t really impact anyone in an Irredeemable way. Of course it’s still not appropriate for a work environment.

I am sure your colleagues appreciate you coming into work “full of cold”. Lovely (!)

I am glad you removed it.

I don't like practical jokes like that. Not funny and I would be very tempted to say something to the perpetrators.

It must feel as though you are working in a kindergarten with these two twats around, as you say that they are both pranksters.

No, I'd hate this at work.
I'd feel really attacked if it was me.
I speak as somebody who did this in my early teens (at home).
Break the wrap, it's really not nice and more so at work.

I am sure your colleagues appreciate you coming into work “full of cold”. Lovely (!)
i think you are missing the point of the thread.... stopping the planned humiliation of a work colleague, which is bullying anyway you look at it!
Imagine being that man, coming out of the loo covered in urine and having to stay in stinking wet clothes all day and then finding out every single person in the office knew it was going to happen and not one of them stopped it or let you know.... imagine how you would feel!

Thank you for stopping them, i really mean it!

@greendale17 Are you one of those people who ring in sick because of a cold? 

You did the right thing OP, I'd be mortified if someone pulled this 'prank' on me.
