This thread is pretty small, but thought I would add

Truly terrible. Just ruinous
A few years ago our team was away for an offsite. After a heavy night of drinking myself and a few other analysts and associates decided to prank one of the VPs by going to reception claiming to be him and getting a new key to his room issued. We creeped into his room at 3am and dumped a bucket of ice water over him whilst he was sleeping. Good times.
Sounds like a sleepover with the boys lmao
