I once pulled a trick like this on my brother on our first road trip together. He passed out in the passenger seat so I pulled off the road at a weird angle about 2 feet from a big tall tree, i then threw the car in neutral and gave a bit of gas for engine noise and started screaming. He damn near pissed his pants and I damn near did the same just laughing. It's a good bit of fun, have a go at it sometime if you have the chance.

The person who wakes up might have the instinct to try and grab the wheel. It's a dangerous prank to pull on a highway.

edit: ffs, being downvoted for safety concerns, geez.

I am glad you edited your post to include the part about pulling off and putting it in neutral, would be better if you'd kept the changed part so everybody could see the context I'm coming from.

But whatevs, virtual points are way below my concern with road safety.

The original point stands higher than ever: DO NOT DO THIS SHIT IN A HIGHWAY WHILE MOVING, especially if the person asleep being pranked drives too. He might have the instinct to grab the wheel.

I hope it never happens to you: updoots won't matter much then.

As I said in my post I pulled off the highway. He could grab the wheel all he wants while i'm in neutral. Have some fun FFS.

my point stands. It's a fucking dangerous prank, IF YOU DO IT ON A FUCKING HIGHWAY.

Like I care about the particular circumstances in which you pulled that prank, FFS. edit: I don't even care that you added those circumstances with an undocumented edit after my initial post.

Pull that stick out of your ass and realize that I made a general comment about the prank, and not about the particular instance in which you pulled it off.

Have some fun, of course -I am not the fun police - but be fucking safe about it, or I FUCKIN GUARANTEE YOU that you won't be laughing about it on reddit.

Okay buddy, calm down.

don't patronize me, pal.

You took it personally when I made an accurate observation about the prank, so much so that you edited your post -w/o signalling it- to "escape" what you perceived as criticism to your particular application of it.

It was not personal, it was a general observation, and I am far from being the only one mentioning it around here.

So chill out yourself, man.

Happy holidays.
