    Talking Jokes/pranks at work.

    I used to change a few keys on the secretaries keyboard. She thought she had a virus. I also would hold down alt, ctrl, and press the left or right arrow key (try it on your own). She would turn her monitor on it's side and prop it up against some books and keep working. Another one is every time she would get up and start to walk away from her desk we'd call her extension and hang up right before she picked up the phone. She'd go back and forth 4-5 times before she ran to the bathroom.

    Being an asshole is not a prank.

    You sound like the kind of kid that would pull the hair of the girl he likes.

    I think you took "The Office" too seriously.

    And there you went from having a laugh, to being a bully. Too bad she doesnt seem smart enough to report you to HR..
    I've no idea what to write here.

    Yep. This falls under harassment at my job as well.

    Trying to be funny and keeping others from working or harassing them is an excellent way to get fired or sued these days. Oddly employers want the people they pay to work not screw around and keep others from working.

    You should be fired. You should go to work to work not act as a child.

    If you are the boss then you are doing a great job of laying the ground work for a hostile work environment case.
