I was just joking around like everyone else. WHy is that a problem?

first simply put you're there to work. Running from someone and yelling seems to me like you're acting like it's social time not work. Secondly yelling out at a job that someone is going to cannibalize or murder you is quite a bit over the top for the work place. Assuming you are yelling like you said, and this is a public place like you've worked before if I remember correctly it's even more out of place and inappropriate.
The question of whether it's ok to joke around or not I don't think is the foundational problem here. I'm going to venture to guess that your joking probably isn't within the same limits that most others have of what's appropriate.
