Patient Prank Gone Wrong

I’m a nurse at a bustling hospital where things get hectic, and sometimes you just need a little levity. One day, I decided to pull a prank on one of my colleagues, a harmless joke with a fake prescription for something silly like ‘Anti-Boredom Pills.’ But when the pharmacist called me out about it, I got caught red-handed. My face burned with embarrassment as everyone stared at me with raised eyebrows. It was supposed to be funny, but it just made me feel ridiculous. I learned my lesson that day, pranks aren’t always a good idea in such a serious environment. What are some other harmless pranks you’ve pulled that backfired? Let’s share and maybe find better ways to inject fun into our work lives!
