My workplace can be a bit juvenile like this, but we all understand the key rule. No means fucking no. Sometimes the shenanigans start and someone says "Not today, I'm not in the fuckin mood" and its respected. Some people are shenanigans free zones, you leave those people the fuck alone.
But like you said, you threw a bottle of water at someones face... this shit always gets out of hand, it ALWAYS escalates. You have to remove yourself from the inappropriate behavior chain 100% and make it clear to people that want to persist that you are over it and it needs to stop, if they do it again straight up tell them thats the last time or you go to management and start naming names and demanding they do something.
Sometimes a workplace that is "inappropriate" is fun, not having to be some rigid corporate drone who never speaks unless its in some sanitised language. Sometimes its not.
