I work in an office where we mildly prank one another, but I may have made a grave mistake. I rigged a bag of buttery popcorn to fall on the head of a fellow co-worker when he walked in his office the next day.
Forgetting that we have a cleaning crew, the first person through the door was a 70 year old cleaning lady who is the absolute sweetest. Needless to say the bag fell on top of her head and popcorn scattered all over the floor she had just cleaned and the one she was about to clean. She actually got a laugh out of it but other people want blood.
I think my co-worker knows it was me but he’s keeping it to himself thank god. Our bosses are up in arms though now about office pranks and I feel like I ruined the fun for everyone now. Even though she laughed it off, I also feel really bad she was the first one through the door. Her and I are very friendly too, but I don’t think I’ll ever tell her.

Any cameras in the office?
Well this went in an entirely different direction than the title implied….
Slip her an anonymous sorry card with 2 100$ bills inside…
Time to leave your cleaning lady a nice gift certificate to a movie with popcorn
Nice anonymous gift card
Get her an anonymous gift, and a bag of popcorn for her to have herself this time LOL
Terrible thing to do
This calls for cash apology
No adult would think a greasy prank at the start of a shift would be a good idea…. You should have been fired.
sounds like she would’ve had to clean it even if it hit it’s intended target so you owe her anyway
I’m also recommending the anonymous gift. $100, an apology card, and a bag of unpopped microwave popcorn.
Find out who she is and send her flowers/chocolates/money/all expenses paid holiday, or you will never sleep again.
“Pranking” is about the most ignorant thing I can think of.
Yeah this prank is too far, embarrassing. I would be mortified if I was found out.
