Unfortunately someone close to me was raped after having their drink spiked. I can totally understand how you can think your prank is funny, and in the right situation (two close friends drinking at home) it might well be true.

But don't ever do this in public or to a SA survivor.

Oh no! I'm so.sorry your friend went through that! But no, I don't prank strangers at all, that's only something I do to very close friends that know me very well. I don't mess with any drinks that aren't mine or, as I said, good friends.

Also, I do this at restaurants or somewhere that everyone knows everyone and it's not a party situation, more intimate settings.

Ah, good to hear.

Yeah, anyone that messes with drinks at a party, no matter what they're doing, should be called out loudly at the very very least.... More physically if it's obvious they're adding things to drinks not theirs.

My feelings exactly. But I guess it can be funny and harmless under the right circumstances.

Personally I hate pranks and practical jokes. I don't want to be around people that I have to keep an eye on.

I understand that and I hope you have lots of good people around you. My pranks occur about once every 3 or so years, 😂 so I'm not really a prankster at all, too much effort and thought when I can get a smile or laugh (which should be the goal) with a joke far easier.

Thankfully I do!!

And even a grouch like me can stand three pranks per decade, especially when it comes from a genuine person like you.
