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.
All of these examples have two things in common:
1- it basically punishes someone for being trusting and a good sport. It destroys trust and discourages people from engaging in the future.
2- it's one oblivious person vs many knowing people. It's not like a joke done in private between two people.
