Jerkish (non-nasty) Pranks--Where's the line
So I'm not officially client facing any more, and obviously last week has been tough, and even traditionally risk-off portfolios have been hit. A coworker wrote an extended email on Friday to the entire salesforce defending a portfolio that should be risk-off but for obvious reasons declined in line with the market. One of my favorite local breweries also released a limited run beer yesterday called "Grandiose Verbiage" Is it inappropriate to send him a can via interoffice mail half way across the country?
Send an exploding can with a glitter bomb - that'll fix things.
They've got a fruit loops/fruit roll up styled beer, but it's too out there for me to even try. I also don't dislike the guy, I just want to get his goat.
Is this one of your good buddies at work? Do you text about non-work things and make fun of your co-workers over beers?
If not, you might want to chill.
No, but we are friendly and probably at the same level in the corporation. I mean the title alone is probably slightly dick-ish, but wouldn't you like to get a decent craft IPA in the mail, regardless of the name? I feel like the mild snark of the post-it ('read your note, and I thought you needed this for it') and the name of the beer is countered by the fact that I literally am sending the guy a beer.
Am I out of line here?
Honestly I can't tell you because only you know if that would be cool in the friendship or not. The fact that you're having to ask about it, instead of just busting a guy's balls, makes me think that it probably wouldn't.
'just sending him a beer'
could be a dancing midget dressed in a pinstripe suit presenting him with an Arrogant Bastard ale.
too much?

my sense is if you have to ask, then don't do it. You obviously know you're dancing close to the line
That prank isn't very good, I'd recommend this one instead:
1) Piss on a paper plate 2) Put it in the freezer 3) Pop the frozen pee disk out from the plate 4) Slide the disk under his door late at night 5) He'll wake up to a random puddle of piss in his house 6) Profit
I mean, put a paper plate of pee into the freezer? Ehhhh This sounds like a terrible plan with lots of spillage. How do you plan to do this actually - hold it with all your fingers spread out under the flimsy paper?
Nah bro, not me.
Step 1: Get a ziplock bag
Step 2: Pee in it and zip it up so it freezes nice and thin, enough to slide under a door ...
profit
Trust me.
