Pranks. You either love them or hate them. But as with many things in life, pranking has its limits. It’s safe to say that playing practical jokes should never cause physical or emotional harm to anyone. The point, after all, is to elicit a good giggle. Not pain.
A 22-year-old guy learned the hard way when the prank he played on his brother’s girlfriend backfired in spectacular fashion. He’d tried to scare her in her sleep but instead ended up being the terrified one when she retaliated in self-defence. The entire situation has escalated to the point where police are involved, the family is feuding, and the girlfriend is considering leaving the relationship. Her boyfriend is caught in the middle and is seeking advice.
