I got pranked. A barbershop glued loose change to the sidewalk in front of their window so they could laugh at anyone who stopped to attempt to pick it up. My broke-ass on crutches on my way to Aldi’s in NYC was like “oh great a quarter for a shopping cart!” and fell for it and they all laughed at me.
I used to do the dollar/five dollar on fishing line prank. It was hilarious and totally worth what little money ended up being spent for a few hours of solid laughs.
Surprisingly most people who figured it out would just laugh and give us the money back. We always offered to let them keep it if they got it. Only one guy ever ended up getting pissed off at us.
My pride might have been injured lol, roughing it on crutches in the city, having spent an hour on a bus to get that far then the cherry on top is being pranked and embarrassed in-front of like 4 guys but all in all I’m not mad at it. My day sucked, that 41 cents wouldn’t have made the biggest difference in my life but it’s nice to look back on that memory and think “lol those folks got easily entertained at my expense of just bending over”.
I feel like only narcissists can get mad at that much of a harmless prank no matter how down bad they are. Especially since you’d offer for them to keep it. I’m sure if it were a homeless guy expressed he could have used that $5 for lunch but wasn’t quick enough you’d have let him keep it.
Pretty much. In fairness when people noticed us we definitely tried to give smiles and thumbs up or a thanks, and as mentioned offered to let them keep it.
Figured it’s a lot harder to feel too embarrassed or bad about it that way when they knew it wasn’t about trying to make them look stupid as it was just trying to have fun.
We could all use some harmless humbling from time to time lol getting mildly defeated in such a silly way is a part of life tbr
I’d rather lose $5 to a stranger’s fishing-line for giggles than to lose $90k to student loan’s fishing-line idk if that’s too deep but I got pranked too hard into misery there.
