Chapter 1: What are the key themes of the pranks discussed?

586.514 - 598.101 Shayne Topp

Like, is that what you enjoy out of the prank? Because pranks have a lot of elements to it, but I feel like the ultimate joy is what you're seeking is for everyone to be laughing at the end. But some people, it doesn't seem like that's the case.

0

598.481 - 613.389 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

I don't know, yeah, because he just didn't think it through. Like, he said nope, and then they kept driving. They had a whole car ride after that. Like, do you think she's going to go, oh, ha ha ha. You fucked me over. You did. That was so funny.

0

613.609 - 621.813 Shayne Topp

Oh, my God. You totally got me. Oh, my God. Oh, that's right. Everything sucks. I thought things were going to suck for a second. That's right. Everything's just fucking awful.

0

621.833 - 632.678 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

If I was in her position, I'd be like, oh, yeah, that's right, because you can't buy a home because your crime is bad, Steven. Steven! Think it through, Steven. Tits.

0

633.719 - 636.42 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

That stands for think it through, Steven. Steven, tits.

637.181 - 651.26 Shayne Topp

Mini update. I posted this back around Christmas time and you guys had a lot to say. I just wanted to come back and say that as of yesterday, the wedding is off. He started to show some very negative tendencies that lean towards abuse. Thank you guys for your support. This is not easy.

651.661 - 672.236 Courtney Miller

Whoa! What happened? I think this is similar when some people, you notice a pattern that they find it funny when someone falls or like, And sometimes it's really funny. But if you notice that happening over and over again where it's like, oh, it's fun. Humor to you lies in someone else being less than or getting hurt or getting fucked over.

672.656 - 675.458 Courtney Miller

That's just a red flag for other shit, so I'm not surprised.

675.538 - 681.462 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

Yeah, let alone the love of your life. You want to see them in pain. Sounds like she dodged a bullet.

Chapter 2: What constitutes a cruel prank?

1447.916 - 1458.201 Shayne Topp

That's a show that they're doing. This is real life. These are people you don't know that well. Even your brother-in-law, you clearly don't know him that well. Don't do that to people. Don't mess with people's bodies.

0

1458.281 - 1459.982 Courtney Miller

Yeah, like Ashton Kutcher didn't do that.

0

1460.242 - 1466.247 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

Yeah, and even still, I would rather have a scorpion pinch my little booty than have super glue in my belly button. You know what I mean?

0

1466.327 - 1466.727 Shayne Topp

Yeah.

0

1466.847 - 1467.588 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

Jackass reference.

1470.69 - 1475.894 Shayne Topp

So we have two not pranks so far. Yeah. I think zero pranks have happened.

1476.475 - 1477.696 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

One not prank and one crime.

1478.076 - 1498.385 Shayne Topp

Yes. Okay, our next story. Let's see if a prank happens here. This comes from Am I the Asshole? Am I the asshole for calling the police on my coworker over a prank? I, a 25-year-old woman, just started this new job as a front desk clerk at a hotel. I work the overnight shift. I usually have a coworker, a 30-year-old man with me, but he never really talks to me.

1498.825 - 1515.65 Shayne Topp

A few nights ago was my first night alone. At around 2 a.m., I noticed a person in the parking lot. You can see the parking lot from the front desk. The lighting in the lot is terrible, so you don't really see faces until they get close to the lobby door. The person was just standing there. not moving for about five to 10 minutes. I thought this was strange and of course it creeped me out.

Chapter 3: How do personal experiences with pranks shape opinions?

2549.417 - 2554.96 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

Like, she started seeing his reaction and was like, oh, shoot, I shouldn't tell him, actually, and thought maybe she could get away with it by calling it a prank.

0

2555.28 - 2557.661 Courtney Miller

Like, what a funny joke to just be a sketchy partner.

0

2558.101 - 2578.291 Shayne Topp

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Verdict is not the asshole. Comments, not the asshole. The worst part about this, to me, isn't even the prank. It's that after the prank, she sees you're upset and instead of apologizing, she blames you for believing her and begins to question you. Also, just remember, she can make herself cry, so don't let tears fool you anymore. Someone else said, not the asshole.

0

2578.311 - 2595.717 Shayne Topp

The reason cheating ends relationships is for the same reason lying does. It breaks the trust in the relationship. She may not have a pattern of cheating, but she does have a long pattern of lying. And that's why you didn't trust her enough to immediately reject the idea she cheated on you. She's the one who has deliberately eroded the trust in your relationship for laughs over the years.

0

2596.057 - 2608.626 Shayne Topp

Of course you don't trust her. She's made an effort to convince you not to trust her. How do you even know which part she's lying about this time? Maybe it was just a prank. Or maybe she really did cheat, but then she pretended it was a prank when she started to doubt that you would forgive her.

2608.986 - 2623.202 Shayne Topp

I think at this point you might want to consider couples counseling to see if it's possible to rebuild the trust between you. You can't have a stable relationship without trust, and it's clear that you justifiably don't trust her enough for a stable relationship. Lastly, someone said, not the asshole. Sorry, but jokes are meant to be funny.

2623.362 - 2638.396 Shayne Topp

And this, if a joke was just cruel, messing around with your unborn child's paternity, then gaslighting you for believing she wouldn't stoop that low to joke about it is a serious red flag. Whether you admit it to yourself or not, you will always have a doubt in the back of your mind about the baby's paternity.

2638.736 - 2650.325 Shayne Topp

So I would demand a DNA test to alleviate your doubts and if your wife is upset, remind her she created this situation by trying to be funny. She crossed so many boundaries and really needs to grow up and stop with her hysterically funny pranks.

2651.525 - 2672.771 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

Yeah, it's a scary joke. I would feel bad even trying to say those words to you. That's just so wrong. So the fact that she was so comfortable to commit so hard to supposedly if this is a prank, it's like, I don't know, there's some, you need to be more empathetic to your partner.

Chapter 4: What is the fallout from a prank gone wrong?

3096.187 - 3109.658 Shayne Topp

Someone said, as someone who loves pranks, I have definitely started prank wars with guys I like as an excuse to flirt with them. I have also pranked male friends of mine with absolutely no desire to bang them. So I don't think anything in the post is evidence enough to prove that she wants to cheat.

0

3109.978 - 3127.61 Shayne Topp

This sub is really suspicious of friendships outside of relationships, but I don't think that suspicion is always warranted. You can't put your foot down in that you can't tell her what to do, but you can at least ask for some insurance. She sounds competitive and like she doesn't want to get beat. So that may be why she wants to continue the pranks even after she got hurt.

0

3127.93 - 3145.956 Shayne Topp

Continuing shows she's tough and not scared in her mind. That prideful mindset can be hard to get over. but explain that you're worried about her and worried about how this is escalating. You can ask her what the hell she's getting out of this that's worth getting her nose broken. Maybe that will at least make her pause and think about her motivations.

0

3146.416 - 3156.398 Shayne Topp

Lastly, someone said her friendship with this guy seems inappropriately close, but I have to admit, that clown costume sounds impressive. If you do break up with her, ask her to teach you some paper mache skills first.

0

3156.752 - 3163.154 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

Please teach me paper mache. Please put Arasha in a paper mache class.

3164.034 - 3167.316 Shayne Topp

Class. Class. Update number one.

3167.916 - 3177.499 Courtney Miller

Oh, there's multiple. They're going to break up. They're going to a speakeasy. They're at the speakeasy. Update, we're both in paper mache. Paper mache.

3178.154 - 3195.277 Shayne Topp

Didn't think I'd have to do an update so soon after posting my original post, but here goes. I talked to my girlfriend about Declan and I told her that the pranks are getting dangerous and she is unreasonably close to a guy she's only known for such a short amount of time. She refers to him as her brother and her BFF, but it's literally been five months.

3196.958 - 3203.539 Courtney Miller

Brother and BFF. I remember, honestly, in youth group, when I had a crush on a boy, we TP'd his house.
