I mentioned those as examples, it is not the only 2 things we make fun of each other at work place, but it is quite common that these 2 come up quite often.
I was simply inputting my opinion on what op should do when he starts in a new environment. You cant expect people to just kinda go away if you just sit there and do nothing when they are making fun of you, because it will only get worse, turning joking around into bullying.
Please dont compare flipping burgers at macD or shaking bubble teas as a real working environment. I been to big corporate office like op did so i know exactly whats going on because it happened at my office as well, photochopping craps etc.
All in all, my advice is you are the best protection you can seek out there when it comes to bullying, how you approach is up to u, im offering how i approach it in a corporate world. Going HR is only when you are ready to quit your job
edit - i dont laugh at ppl to "elevate" myself over others, but sort of trying to mix in in a sense? Because when you and majority of people are living under the same roof, they will also protect you when things go out of hands. If you try to go complete clean hands in a corporate world, good luck, you will be on your own and gets bullying without a doubt, it is just how it is nowadays unfortunately

i don't know where you work, but it sounds like you need to get out of your work environment.
you CAN NOT generalize what happens in your work environment, is the same in ANY work environment.
whatever corporate/office environment you came from, it definitely sounds fucked up.
if everyone is on board with the same type of jokes then sure, its all fun and games to enjoy your break. if you seriously lack interest of your job, and resort to such jokes just to pass the time, you are definitely also in need of a new job.
and no matter what happens, when one person says stop, it definitely means stop. and murd0c has stepped up and did what was right and it still continued. every company is suppose to provide a safe and harassment free workplace.
