Agreed on all points.

It’s actually worse than stripping to their underwear and grinding in each other; the thought process was “Let’s traumatize my boyfriend! It’ll be a laugh riot!” I don’t understand people who think that deeply hurting their loved ones is a great idea. Couple months ago here on BP, some family members broke into a lady’s house, tied her up, brandishing weapons, and I forget what else, but IT WAS A PRANK! Don’t be angry; we were just goofing! What the hell is wrong with people that they think TRAUMA is funny?! I think their punishment shoulda be traumatic, too, like a fake terminal cancer diagnosis, or a prank arrest for rape and murder. Those’d be hilarious! 🤬

He should have dumped her just for being immature enough to think that was funny.

Amen.

I think people watch videos of pranks on the internet and think it’s a good idea to try it themselves because they found it funny in the original video, which is probably either staged or between two people who enjoy pranking each other. They don’t consider the feelings or personality of the prankee.

You saved me writing the same.

Exactly. They claimed it was a prank when they got caught.

... does sound right. Even the prank actually being a cover up - that was my very first thought on this. It's either that, or stupid beyond my capabilities in the nice english language...

People who aren't you.

In the “best case scenario” and it was actually a joke, that’s my big question too. And _how_ is it funny? (for the record, breaking up was the right call. The whole thing is weird and suspicious) Edit: grammar

Calling it a 'harmless' prank... Clearly harmful prank. I'm with you - what exactly did they think it would do? The person would immediately be hurt and of course it's not going to be easy coming back from 'I've been cheated on'. I know the idea of a prank is 'feel awful - realise the truth - feel relief then laugh as the relief is so great'. The latter stage is often lacking in pranks.

Girlfriend probably watched a similar video on the internet where it was either staged or between a couple that enjoy pranking each other. She didn’t consider OP’s feelings and personality when she tried to recreate the prank for internet likes.

I don't know, initial horror into relief then laughs. It isn't hard to imagine. I know nothing about these two people, but I know there are people who would laugh if this prank was pulled on them.
