My morning routine consists of dropping the bike off in my cube, then wandering off to get coffee and clean up / change clothes for the work day. Recently, I dropped the bike in my cube and went off to attend to things, and on my return found that someone had rubber-banded a whoopee cushion to the saddle of my bike. You can imagine the sorts of questions I got from those "in the know" about the prank.

I would jsut settle for syrup of Ipecac, it works best if they use irish roast or some other sweet blend.


...then enjoy the serene bliss of being a spectator to projectile vomiting co-workers!

No way just come up with a way to put whoopie cushions under the fabric of their chairs, lol!! Or, get some of that "fart candy" (has an undigestible sugar that makes ppl fart) in a candy jar by the water cooler/coffee pot.

Or that peppered gum you can buy at the same place(s) as black mouth gum that'll ruin their taste buds for stuff from you.

Come on you guys. You can do the game better than that! These days you can label anything harrassment. If you're someone like me (who's not always politically correct, here's your chance to shine-out.

Get going Scantr. Managers love this stuff...

just slaughter and mutilate one of your coworkers, fill the whoopie cushin up with their blood, and hang it next to the water cooler along with their head on a pike

I guarantee you they will not do it again

You don't appreciate the rough sort of crowd at my job. When I told a marketer I wouldn't set the transparent passwords she was demanding due to security concerns, I found a small stuffed "voodoo doll" the next day, complete with pins inserted in particularly painful spots, sitting on my desk.

Agreeing with Linchpin on this one. If your manager won't do anything about it. It's time to plant the Voodoo crad back where it "belongs" with some chocolate surup on top.

Fighting fire with fire.

What's real fun is when you take the plugs from his keyboard and mouse, plug it into the computer of the person in the next cube over, and make sure their keyboard mouse is hooked up to the first one.

See how long it takes until they realize what's happened.

The most annoying thing is that the joke against you wasn't even funny. A whoopee cushion? They couldn't come up with anything more original than a whooppe cussion? How many decades has that one been around? I'd be tempted just to roll my eyes at their unoriginality. Of course, telling them that you rolled your eyes at their lack of originality might just encourage them to try harder next time.

If you think they might do something dangerous or expensive to fix, set up a web cam in your cubicle so you can find out who did it. If your unofficial workplace rules make you fend for yourself, you might let them know that if anything that happens to your bike, something similar might just happen to their cars.
