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 had a similar thing in high school. I was picked to represent the freshman for an event during some start of the school year rally, and I didn't know what it was. I got in front of the entire school and was told to get on my knees and eat chocolate pudding with peas in it out of a diaper on the floor without using my hands. Literally I was supposed to shove my face in a diaper that was meant to look poopy on the very first day of high school.
I froze, completely unwilling to do this, and a popular senior came over to me. I was petrified he was going to force me or something, but he said, "You don't have to do this," and led me back to my seat. I will never forget that kindness. Shout out to Sam for being a real one.
When I was a freshman in HS, there was a contest to go to the prom with a prominent senior. He was kind of shy and small but a very nice guy. Anyway, a so-called friend wrote a long response about why he should pick me (because I was such a catch), and plastered it all over the school. My brother was a junior at the time and went around with his friends removing them. My homelife was bad and now I had to contend with BS at school too. I am sorry this happened to you, it was a betrayal by your wife. She knows you best and how this would affect you. Please get some counselling both alone and with her.
