[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 277862, member: 3907"] Alyssa, I hate hate HATE practical jokes. Don't understand the humour, don't like them at all. But even if you do like practical jokes, this fellow took things WAY too far when he made comments about you in front of other people. And suppose for a moment that you did take a lot of medication and were easily confused. Someone moving your car like that could cause serious disruption to your routine, and cause you tremendous problems. I think talking to your boss about it a few days later, once you had a chance to cool off, was a good thing. Do you feel comfortable talking to the person directly? If he's reasonable, then telling him that you don't like that sort of humour should make him back off. If you tell him, and he escalates, then you have a case to make a formal complaint of some sort that he is bullying you. Years ago I had a co-worker who used to call me highly inappropriate names in the office (both sexual and racial), in front of other people. I told him very clearly, in front of other people, not to call me anything of the sort again. When he continued, another co-worker reported him to HR. Because I had made my wishes clear, HR was able to make a definite case against him for workplace harrassment. Trinity [/QUOTE]
