Nah. Turnabout is fair play, and the very first rule is to do no harm. Move nothing. Delete nothing. Second rule is be to be obvious, both in effect and solution. Third rule is to be amusing for the recipient.

That's _why_ rule #3. If nobody is amused, then do nothing. I agree. This might be a team-by-team thing; my team self-reinforces, your team has quarterly training. If I end up on a team like yours... I will take the training, and long for laughter.

"For something that literally takes five seconds to fix? Hm." So you really think a bro in the lab will take 5 seconds out of their day to undo a prank they just did on a non-technical/-coder lab member? Or instead will the target spend hours pulling their hair out?

On someone who is suggesting a bunch of rm aliases and then failed to log out? Yes. For all others, including someone non-technical? The obligation would be to hang around, yes, AND provide guidance on how to fix if necessary.

You realise wasting their and your time to run this prank is literally the kind of shit that drives managers to get rid of people because they create a combative atmosphere and waste at least three people's times.

Me too. Oh, well. May the "bros" in your lab restrict themselves to pranking only each other. Outside. Enjoy the rest of your day.

I think what you're really missing is there aren't any in my lab. That's the point. What I said all along: to cultivate a good atmosphere. In fact, the PI does that actively:http://bradlove.org/blog/ipa-motto
