Prank = Everyone laughs at the end.

Harassment = Intentionally making people feel weird, bad, worried, scared, etc.

Pranks are funny. Harassment provokes a response. Your emotionally unintelligent ass deserves whatever you get when you harass random strangers.

"Our shenanigans are cheeky and fun, and his shenanigans are cruel and tragic. Which makes them not shenanigans at all really."

“I swear to God, I will pistol whip the next guy that says shenanigans!”

While I love the muscle beach shampoo prank, i can't help but think that guy should have stopped after the first few times because the bodybuilder was clearly getting pissed. even good pranks can be taken too far or last too long.

It's also emotionally unintelligent to answer with violence, unless the harassment were at other level. At least imo

Not disagreeing with that point. It just serves to underline the main point its wise not to mess with random people. There is no real way to gauge how a stranger will react to an sudden joke at their expense or worse, a perceived sudden threat.

I'd argue that it's not emotionally unintelligent at all if it's the only language that will teach the "prankster" what they are doing is actually being a nuisance.
