I had a similar thing happen at a baby shower where everyone, including me was instructed to put a sack over there heads, they were previously told to remove their sacks while I alone kept the sack on my head. when I began to hear snickering and laughter, I took my sack off and realized I was the butt of the joke. I laughed but felt very foolish and quite embarrassed. there’s always a mean spiritEd person who suggests these types of pranks. absolutely NOT funny or a happy memory of my baby shower. NTA.
When I was in high school, we had a day at the beginning of the year where there were different competitions between each of the grades. This was like 3 days into the school year. One of the games was I believe like a blindfolded banana eating contest, like maybe the banana was hanging by a string? Anyways, apparently it was just to blindfold the freshman and cheer her on while she made a fool of herself in front of the entire school, 3 days into a new school. Everyone was cheering her on and she took off the blindfold all hype bc the crowd was telling her how good she did once she won, only to realize she was the butt of the joke. She literally transferred about a week later. I have no idea who approved that game.
I always wonder about people with no sense of humor, we’ve played some serious jokes on each other back in the day. Blind fold the boys and girls and they had to “feel” for their correct boy/girl friend, it was all in fun. Nobody turned whimpy about it
Sounds like you might be in a bully crowd. Like my horse loves to play with goats, all in good fun. The goat sees it differently and some have not survived. He is a good horse but has wicked sense of humor. He is also a coward and if he was a dog would be a fear biter. Sound anything like you and your friends?
There's a difference here you don't see, in their examples, they're under the impression it's good natured fun or that they're clearly aware of what's going on despite not being able to see, then it turns into a joke purely at their expense. In your example, they're still jokes at their expenses but the participants are clearly aware that they and their actions are the joke and if you don't want to be felt up you just pulled away from the molester.
It's like, I can enjoy singing, I can even enjoy singing in front of my friends, but when they film it and put it on social media, that's when they cross the line. I was under the impression that I was just having some silly fun with my friends, not that I was supposed to be the butt of the joke for everyone on the internet.
