...yeah... I think if people take things too far that could be true...

...however, there's something to be said for being friends with your co-workers and making time for non-threatening play can work... I guess you have to "be there" to know when it's OK... The kind of places that I worked in had a lot of camaraderie between the employees and the practical jokes were part of the whole situation... Some of the "games" helped to work off the kind of tension caused by having to work too many hours a week, have customers scream at you for things you couldn't do anything about, or face a boss who would chew you out in front of a customer because "somebody" had to be made to "take the shit" even though the "fault" was entirely due to some "management policy" that you were supposed to follow to the letter...

...I think that in the line of business I was in, the worst that any fellow employee would have done to you is sneak up and stick a big strip of shipping tape to your arm and give you the equivalent of a "bikini waxing"...and *ouch* did that ever hurt!!! .....hey...what goes around, comes around.... ;-}>
