office pranks

Cubicle humor shenanigans

Office pranks are practical jokes played on coworkers in workplace settings—hiding someone's stapler in Jell-O, filling a cubicle with balloons, wrapping a desk in aluminum foil.

The term spans harmless fun that builds camaraderie to behavior that crosses into harassment.

HR had to send a memo after the office pranks got out of hand.
