office prank
Cubicle practical joke
An office prank is a practical joke played on a coworker, typically harmless and meant to relieve workplace tedium.
Classic examples include encasing items in gelatin, filling a cubicle with balloons, or wrapping everything on someone's desk in aluminum foil: We pulled an office prank on Dave while he was on vacation.
The line between acceptable office prank and harassment depends heavily on workplace culture and the target's sense of humor.
