'You'll want something from me. You'll see': Coworker pranks employee by pretending their wallet got stolen, employee gets even the next time she needs help

Playing pranks on your fellow employees is a dangerous game. First of all, there's the obvious: it's unprofessional behavior. That's a given, but of course, there's more nuance than that.

Furthermore, you never know how your fellow employees will react to a prank. Perhaps they will explode in frustration and anger. Or, as was the case in this situation, perhaps they will enact some petty revenge on you that you were not expecting.
