Today after arriving back from my lunch break this guy at work had written my name up on the missing board for everyone to see. Ian ******* missing all day! He is always picking up on small petty crap I do ie being a couple of minutes late back of lunch or arriving late for work etc!
A little while back he put a bananna skin in the bottom of my alpine star boots which i trod in just as I was going home. a couple of weeks ago he through my bike keys behind a desk and they were picked up by the cleaner and handed into to lost property. I stayed an extra half an hour hunting for them after doing a 12 hour shift! he also hides random stuff of mine! bit odd behaviour for a 40 year old man!
Well today I thought feck it and wrote his name also called Ian **** is a balding retard up on his missing board with the word slap head in big letters underneath. (he looks like a monk with the amount of hair he has lost)
I phoned him about it to point it out, he had not noticed it. He made a small laugh but i think I struck a nerve!
about 1 hour later i was on a break and i thought i would go move my bike ready for when i leave. I couldn't find my bike keys they had gone again! so i looked around couldn't find them so asked him if he had hidden them. he told me he had put them in the down stairs kitchen ice box. so off i went to look. coudn't find them!
i later went to ask a friend and it turns out i had left them there so i said to ian thanks i have got them. i then said sorry etc and he just flicked the finger at me. i sat back down at my desk and the guy sitting next to me said he has poured water in your boot! all my bike gear was under the desk! i picked up my boot and loads of water poured out of it! he had put about half a cup of water in my

 

How old are you guys?

Why don't you talk it out? I know that may sound a bit cliche, but if you're both adults in a working environment I can't see how stuff like that goes on..

 

We goof off with each other at work, but nothing serious. Sounds like this guy can dish it out but not take it You getting in trouble for one little thing compared to all the sh!t he did is

 

im 23!
he is around 40

 

need to hear from both sides to have a fair assessment of situation but seems like he's not happy with you for some reason and trying to do the passive/agressive thing.
I'd talk to human resource or a common supervisor/boss.

 

... and who is Ian?

 

One thing also about the hair loss comment. I heard a quote somewhere that you never make fun a man for his hair loss or erectile dysfunction. I think it's a hugelly sensitive subject for those that're going through it.

 

Well even though provoked, it did seem like you took it to the next level each time, as did he. The problem with these type of inter office frolics - it takes a minimum of 2 very willing and secure parties and that never happens. There is also 'collateral damage' to consider in such pranks. Someone will always have a thinner skin then the other, at some point the line IS going to be crossed. Best bet in these type of things is just toss any pride you have aside upfront and early. Usually then nothing escalates.

About the bald comment....There is such a long lineage of baldness in my family, I came to terms with the fact I will be bald by around the age of 14 But I know for alot it is a touchy subject.

 

you kinda messed up by pouring water on him. you should have just done something to so he cant connect any of it to you. like go to the parking garage and deflate his tires or something

you dont have evidence of him doing anything to you, except possibly the boot BUT you didnt catch him in the act. you may have confused what he did to you with another office prankster. if HR looks at the case like we are you'll most likely get the boot due to lack of evidence in your defense

 

Complain to your supervisor. Tell him or her you are thinking about filing a sexual harrasment suit because this guy is hitting on you. That should end it.
