Anyone else work with pranksters

[805Badger]

Ok, my first April's Fools day with my new baby and I get this email from my office manager:

Good morning Team,

The gentleman working in our parking lot (with the scissor lift) are trying to find out who’s vehicle is parked in the left rear of our parking lot. They apparently had a little accident and hit the vehicle (grey truck) by mistake. Paint damage only, no broken glass…

Thank you,


Anyone else subjected to this level of abuse?

I detest that people think saying there's property damage or even bodily harm (I've seen this) is considered acceptable joking behavior.

Report the joker to HR. If it is HR, time to speak with a lawyer about targeted harassment.

It was meant good naturedly and I took it as such. I've done my fair share of pranks so I had it coming. They know how much I love the truck and didn't let it go on. It was all fun and I thought it was funny.

Sounds like something I would find funny. Sorry. Not cool at all, but I can imagine sending that email, finding it hilarious. Also, keep in mind, no one was hurt with this joke and demeaned. It would get my blood going for sure.

Then you say "Oh, I thought we were still doing April Fools jokes".

The April fools joke is convincing someone that HR exists to protect employees and not the business interests of the company.

True the other 364 days of the year, as well.

The business interests of the company get adjusted when lawyers write letters.

I thought it was a pretty good prank and something that I’d do my self.
