Office pranking. Did I go too far?

To be perfectly honest, I'd be pretty pissed if you messed with my lunch too. I'm all for office pranking but that's one of the few things that would be off limits to me. I really need a good lunch to keep me going through my work day.

Eh, thats not so bad. In general, office pranks end up getting a bit too out of hand.

Once, I put two toothpicks in someones chair. In my mind, I imagined them getting poked and the toothpicks breaking.

In reality, the person sat down very hard, one went in one ass cheek, as he shifted his weight to the other buttock, the other toothpick went in. He almost had to use a pliers to get them out. That was a bad day.

Haha well I'm not gonna lie: I think I would eat them. I would be like "why did he send me that? These must super tasty".

Although, is that supposed to be a joke? Because then I could also send you some frogs' legs and snails, don't try me :D

I did know a French girl that would fly into a rage every time someone mentioned French cut vegetables (or bread, or fries.)

If those carrots are French cut...
 
There was a part of a cold stick of butter randomly on the counter so my coworker dumped it into the coffee pot and stirred it. It was hard to keep my laugh in as people commented on the taste, they were blaming it on the tap water and a whole discussion came about on that.
 
I'd be kind of irritated if my lunch got ruined. He was probably looking forward to eating the amazing sandwich he hand crafted for himself, and then was crushed. I'd say, you owe your co-worker a lunch.

That reminds me of the time my old roommates and I used to pull pranks on each other. It started out innocently enough, but eventually devolved into my roomate Fred placeing the entirety of his genetalia in my mouth while I was asleep and sending a picture of it to my elderly mother, using my own email account.

Pranks are never a good idea.

WTF? Like in the South Park episode?
 
Reminds me if a time I was on a church trip in high school where we stayed in motel rooms, 4 each. Two of the dudes fell asleep early and it was just me and a kinda weird kid staying up till like 1 watching adult swim. He wanted to do a prank or something, I said let's put mayonnaise in the other kid's drink to look like sperm. He said nah, grabbed the drink, turned around and pissed in it. I meant to tell him, but he got up and left before I did. I told all my other friends about it, and about 2 in the afternoon me and a friend were just sitting around and piss drink kid comes around and asks if something happened to his drink because it tasted funny. Me and my other friend just busted out laughing. Told him and he was pissed, but didn't do shit. He also drank piss on a trip a few years later.

So your coworker cares for everyones health as he basically made bulletproof coffee without knowing it.
 
I completely thought OP's story was going to end with OP giving the Craigslist guy the officemate's info, causing him to have the cops called on him. Felt kind of anticlimatic with the existing cold wrap ending. OP, consider rewriting history.

That's not a prank, that's sexual assault.
 
I can't imagine being the one to start pranking by fucking around with the other guy's food.

That's a Pandora's Box that's not easily closed. Look forward to heavily investigating every mayonnaise laden sandwich.
 
The way he was acting was like OP got drunk put shaving cream on his balls and then shoved a carrot up his ass.
 
Dont fuck with people's food. You might as well fart on his balls. And you never fart on another mans balls.

But honestly, i don't think he should be complaning after what he did, but i do think that your prank was a litte worse.

Once you bring food into it, that's a line that's dangerous to cross. So easy to mess with...

Insanely enough, I did keep my job. This was actually an employee of mine, I was his manager which makes the whole thing even worse.

My boss essentially pulled him in, asked if he wanted me fired, he said no and saved my job. We're actually pretty good friends now, we both worked there for 5 or 6 years and are at different companies. We are playing Settlers of Cataan tonight actually...the toothpick incident is brought up, often.

There's a South Park episode that starts similar to this. Do your friends call you Butters?
 
I once worked at a place where guys would smack each other in the nuts and pinch each other so hard their eyes would water. Even then, lunches were off-limits.
 
Eh, sounds like he just had a bad day and it was a poor timing on your part. Either way I have a general rule that you can do much to tease/prank etc but never ever fuck with food, that shit is holy.

Update:

As a peace offering I got up a few minutes early and purchased him the following:

This beer is supposed to be a good one. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1075/58046/

Anyway, I apologized. He said he was sorry for being a "whiny bastard" and I said he didn't have anything to apologize for. We're back to BFF mode now.
