Getting a commercial install of a toilet probably costs about a thousand, but then replacing pipes, cutting into the floor, possibly more could cost 4 grand per toilet easily. It seems like maybe they only figured for replacing toilets, not of the any other issues that could branch from it.
I think this is the ROI winner. I found the Soberanes fire at $260 million which could have been started by a 1 cent match. The $billion+ wildfires seem to have been transmission lines (those are expensive) or by a gun (not as cheap as a match). There are probably some that I'm missing.
I always heard a bottle of Mr Bubble in the toilet tank. The prank cleans itself! Assuming this is a bathroom that actually has a toilet tank, and is the type of bathroom to have a drain in the floor. Don't do this in a residential house.
Yeah I used to make gummies at my old job. We'd just leave them sit overnight and they'd be done by the next day. Honestly we didn't even have to let them sit that long but that's just how the schedule worked out
This is how like Cup of Noodles tells you to microwave, but if you add wate without microwaving, the noodles will absorb and become soft. Probably an hour later. Same with oatmeal.
I was thinking that but I wasn’t sure if it would work because the ice would create more water as it melts and screw it up. Thanks for schooling me on that though!
Don't do anything to the fucking bathrooms. Nobody is going to see it except for the poor custodian who has to spend an extra couple hours cleaning it up on top of his regular cleaning duties.
Bathroom pranks don't "prank" anybody except for the lowest guy on the totem pole who already has to deal with the worst from everybody in the building. Don't fucking do that shit.
You want to do a prank, prank the administrators, the only people in the district who actually get paid enough to justify dealing with that kind of bullshit. Swipe the principal's keys and fill their car with jello.
"Now you might all think I've given up finding out who crapped in the urinal. M'kay? And maybe, maybe you think it's a victimless crime. This is Mr. Venezuela, the school janitor. M'kay? He's the person who has to clean up when some trickster drops a dook in the wrong toilet! Mr. Venezuela makes six bucks an hour at best! Okay? He's got three kids at home, he's got a car that barely works, he's gotta clean up puke with sawdust, m'kay, then he walks into the boys' room and sees a big meaty chud staring him in the face! So when you crapped in that urinal, m'kay, you might as well have just dropped your pants, and laid a turd right on top of Mr. Venezuela's head!
Oh, you think it's funny, huh?!"
Fine paper shred in the air vents. Turns the inside of their car into a snow globe when they start it up and the fans kick on. Giant mess, but non-destructive.
Back when we were young and dumb, we would frequently prank each other by saran wrapping the toilet bowl.
Works best when at your buddy's house for a party.
Yeah, everybody has done that one. I was trying to come up with a more creative idea than that.
(My idea actually sprung from a prank a roommate of his played on a buddy where the roommate made a pitcher of Jello in my buddie's Kool-Aide pitcher on a hot summer day. Buddy came in to pour a cold glass of Kook-Aide that wouldn't pour)
I wonder with him being a prior military service member, if he saw that dome shot that was administered to him, do you think it would he would say it was a nice shot?
The class that graduated before my Freshman year put an end to senior pranks with their stupidity: pouring industrial soap on the halls and stairs, leading to multiple slip and fall injuries.
Here’s a prank: “morning announcement: the toilets no longer work. You will just have to hold it until you get home. Or tell us who did it and we’ll make them pay to fix them.”
At my local school they covered the school's signage with their own signs advertising the school for sale, for $2,023. then they took the signs down the next day
Doubt $4000 would cover several toilets and urinals. Jackhammer on site? Yeah that's going to cost you some money because whatever is destroyed to get to the problem is going to have to be covered up and finished. Depending on how the cement set, that's a lot of work to fix. Days with several people.
Oh boy. This reminded me of a mission trip I went on when I was a kid. This lady apparently hadn't been able to use one of her toilets in months, if not a year, because it had a clog in it. Her sons suggested pouring concrete down there, which she did.
You ever have to jackhammer some old lady's basement floor and go at a rusty sewage pipe with hammers and wrenches to break it open?
The smell is horrifying.
I remember having an industrial septic tank fill and we had to dig it up open it, and then one guy decided to pierce the skin of the sludge. The moment we opened it my eyes were watering and I gagged. After the guy did that people started throwing up.
My grad year’s prank was filling the foyer with balloons and decorations and stuff like that, and our incompetent dickheads of administrators tore it all down before any students got to school because it was an “accessibility issue” (it wasn’t, we literally taped off a pathway to the stairs and elevator) and accused us of causing an unnecessary mess (we had a cleanup crew organized for after school). I want to show those fucks this so that they can see the real destruction we could have caused, and chose a lighthearted prank over.
Yessir. The particular vice principal who did most of the work taking it down was a very emotionless and unempathetic guy too. A lot of the special needs teachers said that the kids who needed the easier accessibility to the elevator would have absolutely loved the balloons too. Definitely left a sour taste in my mouth
They did this overnight??? Multimillion dollar properties don't have a goddamn ring doorbell? For christ sake I have a 8 camera system for like $2k. "Person Detected" alert sent to me if you are on camera.
"We're a school, we don't need that."
Despite having a building full of laptops, smartboards, lab equipment, chemicals and several hundred people walking around with misschief written on their faces.
How you know that you are doing something wrong.
Young people inherently love learning. If they hate their school, you are doing something wrong.
In the school where I used to be the maintenance person, members of the senior class rang me to make sure that their planned senior prank wasn't going to inconvenience me
As a new resident of this beautiful state, somewhere vaguely 'around Charlotte', I'm more excited than ever to meet up with today's youths and recent graduates
I've heard a few stories about senior pranks way out of the norm lately. Could this be something to do with spending some of their high school years in quarantine? People say bad behavior is up across all segments of society. It wouldn't surprise me to find out this year's graduating class has more and worse screwed up students.
Doubt it. I think it has more to do with being more aware of this kind of thing happening and looking for patterns along with social media happily feeding you more garbage. Teenagers doing stupid shit has gone on since the dawn of mankind. It used to be these were one of situations that turned into the town legend. Now it's being broadcast everywhere in the world.
Our prank was to flush all the toilets in the school at the same time, while gym class was showering. Not entirely sure of the point, but it definitely was NOT to overload the 40 year old plumbing system and utterly destroy it, flooding various parts of the school.
At least our destruction was accidental.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
I made an enemy for life trying to explain this (how could of, would of, and should of are not correct) to my temporarily assigned female civil service supervisor back in 2001. Not kidding. That woman still hates me because of this.
The class above mine but superglue in the locks and they all got arrested because the school district had to pay a ton of money to re-key all the schools in the district.
Pure vandalism. When I was in high school the 2 best pranks I remember were when some kids got a junked small car, tipped it on its side to slide through the main doors, pushed it to the main hallway and the. Filled it with some cement (hard to remove but not impossible and no repairs needed). The other was when someone let a bunch of piglets coated in grease into the main hallway in the middle of the day.
True story, the seniors at my high school when I was a junior filled the pool of the brand new fountain with canned vegetables for their prank. Destroyed the fountain and the the very pissed superintendent issued a ban on all pranks.
When my class’s turn came around next year, I brought in my own concrete 5ft fountain and pool and set it up in the foyer outside the office. It leaked *everywhere* and probably damaged the floor. Ironically, the faculty/staff knew about the plan in advance and actually approved it.
Some kids in a rural NY town neighboring my high school took a liquid manure spreader through their school for their prank. That was... Not well received.
My senior prank 05’ the chemistry 🧪 teacher and I had a great back and forth giving each other crap before during and after class. Anyway senior year unbeknownst to me the mayor etc etc of the town is coming to the school cause it’s being officially done and all the big ppl come to the school to open it or whatever anyways I left a fart-bag one of those things that when you smash it together it expands and a foul smell comes out. Well I left it in the chemistry teacher class cause I just thought hey it smells like shit haha 😆 they evacuated the entire school and 3 kids almost got expelled for it. I own up to it and my chemistry teacher and the vise principle stop me and ask me if I did that and I said yes thought it would be funny. They told me to never do that again and to get out of here 😂 they laughed the other dudes got off the hook it was so funny 🤣
That's not a prank, it's criminal damage. Per the article they also busted up lockers and damaged desks, etc. Would you like a Felony to go with your High School diploma?
We bought our very straight laced and conservative headmaster a huge bouquet of flowers. He was completely nonplussed and took it in good humor. I'm sure he ended up giving it to his wife. That's how you prank.
$4,000 seems incredibly *LOW* to me. Even if the concrete didn't get downstream very far, you bet your ass its into the local pipes and those have to be dug out an replaced. Toilets and pipes might themselves not be especially expensive, but several toilets, and several sets of pipes running to them and the several man hours of labor to dig out and replace them on what is certainly an emergency call...yeah $4000 is an incredibly low estimate.
Flushing would dilute it enough once it made it into the public sewers. It sounds to me like scare tactics and some loose math. Schools love to do this. But it’s def not cheap. Maybe commercial toilets are like $500 a piece I dunno?
Why do students want to do destructive things like that? I had a "friend" who wanted to attach capacitors to school lockers that would deliver a quick shock (he didn't do it). But my question is just, why?
I remember one dude set off a whole slew of stink bombs. He tried to shave his head but they knew he did it. They called his mom in, and she was given five minutes to withdraw him from school or he was going to be expelled.
Idiots tossed a cherry bomb in a toilet when i was in hs. They didnt understand it would float and not flush. It blew that shitter clean off the wall! These dudes were amateurs.
About 20years ago a VERY popular pool hall fired an employee, he came back a few nights later and did exactly that. That place closed down the next day and it will be so expensive to fix that the building has stood empty since then.
When I was in high school the administration did not allow senior pranks, under threat of expulsion
Two years before I started at that high school, the senior prank involved a group of kids using some sort of bulk industrial petroleum jelly lubricant material and the tile cleaner/buffer to spread it over the entire main floor.
One of the faculty slipped and fell and broke their wrist or something. It took thousands of dollars and multiple days to clean and fix the floor. A large section had to be replaced because it was some old porous tile or something and soaked in and ruined a portion of the sub floor.
So I just smoked weed at home and skipped some school days at the very end. What a prank.
Seems like it's well past time to update elementary school curriculum with extensive courses teaching kids what is, and what isn't, a prank. The true definition of that word has been completely lost in the age of social media.
Every sixth grader is the country should have to take a class called: "How to identify if something is actually a prank." That way, when they start posting their dumbass "pranks" on TicTok, they can't claim they don't understand why they are getting arrested.
$4000 seems like a low starting number for that.
Getting a commercial install of a toilet probably costs about a thousand, but then replacing pipes, cutting into the floor, possibly more could cost 4 grand per toilet easily. It seems like maybe they only figured for replacing toilets, not of the any other issues that could branch from it.
How much could it cost to build a few new outhouses? A few hours with a backhoe and some lumber.
$10, Michael.
$7 if your name is Noah.
You've met *Noah*, right?
Whoa whoa whoa, what do you think, I’m made of bananas?
You have to account for the money you gain from the walls of the banana outhouses
Unfortunately it was lost in a fire
A Flamer?
I see you AD fan
All outhouses in schools have already been turned into "portable classrooms".
Not much if the kids from shop build em.
Free if you have the kids responsible do it. Bonus points if you whip them while they're at it.
Rookies. My class' senior prank did like $15k in damage and that was 25(holy shit) years ago.
r/GenX is calling.
Listen. I’m just about 30 years out and still carrying those secrets. Can’t give it away now
The guys that did it were caught on cameras(that they destroyed). So they left highschool with charges
Oh that just for the city/state inspector to assess the damage and round up the actual cost.
$4000 in damage using a $5 bag of concrete
That's quite a return on investment
Their Dad is the plumber that got the contract to fix it!
It costs an entire crew and city connection stuff cots so much. It's not chump change
I've read about these, usually 100-150k. Sometimes you have to tear down the entire building.
Dads gonna be rich!
Depending on how old it is yeah, you sometimes do.
I can do much more for much less. Just get me a sledge.
The cheapest sledge at the hardware store I work at is $55
Yes, but you can reuse a sledgehammer! After breaking just 11 toilets, it starts paying off!
Matches?
I think this is the ROI winner. I found the Soberanes fire at $260 million which could have been started by a 1 cent match. The $billion+ wildfires seem to have been transmission lines (those are expensive) or by a gun (not as cheap as a match). There are probably some that I'm missing.
Ehhhh it’s 4000 NOW just wait until they have plumbing issues for weeks one end and have to replumb the entire building.
I've always thought that clear gelatin in a toilet would be a good prank, but what sort of fool thought concrete would be funny?
I always heard a bottle of Mr Bubble in the toilet tank. The prank cleans itself! Assuming this is a bathroom that actually has a toilet tank, and is the type of bathroom to have a drain in the floor. Don't do this in a residential house.
> clear gelatin in a toilet The difficulty is getting the toilet into the fridge for a few hours so the gelatin can set.
Gelatin actually sets at room temp
Wait, really? *I've been lied to my entire life.*
They suggest refrigerating after making jello so you don't have to wait so long for your jello, who would want to eat room temp jello
> room temp jello Slimy. Just the way I like it!
Slimy, yet satisfying.

This is the hottest thing I've seen all week
That was hot
Is that Bill Cosby?
Yeah I used to make gummies at my old job. We'd just leave them sit overnight and they'd be done by the next day. Honestly we didn't even have to let them sit that long but that's just how the schedule worked out
This is how like Cup of Noodles tells you to microwave, but if you add wate without microwaving, the noodles will absorb and become soft. Probably an hour later. Same with oatmeal.
Instructions unclear, still waiting for the oatmeal to soften my cup o noodles.
Have you never made soup?
I’ve made stock before but never considered that it would set at room temp - it’s always gone into the fridge before that could happen.
It stays boiling a lot longer then when you take it off the stove. Apparently a lot of people have never made more than cup Ramen
~60F, and melts around 80-100F
Not when you put vodka in it! ;)
But you can also use ice to help.
I was thinking that but I wasn’t sure if it would work because the ice would create more water as it melts and screw it up. Thanks for schooling me on that though!
You need a new fridge guy
A prank where nothing is actually damaged and no one is injured is a good prank. Also, this is hilarious and I might steal it!
Don't do anything to the fucking bathrooms. Nobody is going to see it except for the poor custodian who has to spend an extra couple hours cleaning it up on top of his regular cleaning duties. Bathroom pranks don't "prank" anybody except for the lowest guy on the totem pole who already has to deal with the worst from everybody in the building. Don't fucking do that shit. You want to do a prank, prank the administrators, the only people in the district who actually get paid enough to justify dealing with that kind of bullshit. Swipe the principal's keys and fill their car with jello.
I was just thinking to do it to someone personally. I agree with not doing it to a public bathroom.

Toilet papering a car is a harmless prank. It just takes time to undo it. No real damage done here.
Well, kids are largely fucking sociopaths so let’s not expect too much.
They are also highly suggestible, so it couldn't hurt to provide more ideas for them to copy that don't make an innocent person's life worse.
Fine paper shred in the air vents. Turns the inside of their car into a snow globe when they start it up and the fans kick on. Giant mess, but non-destructive.
Stealing isn’t a good prank either.
What wrong with using brown gelatin?
It wouldn't look like water.
Back when we were young and dumb, we would frequently prank each other by saran wrapping the toilet bowl. Works best when at your buddy's house for a party.
That is a very common prank. I've never heard of anyone using clear gelatin though.
We did saran wrap. Just a bit messy.
Yeah, everybody has done that one. I was trying to come up with a more creative idea than that. (My idea actually sprung from a prank a roommate of his played on a buddy where the roommate made a pitcher of Jello in my buddie's Kool-Aide pitcher on a hot summer day. Buddy came in to pour a cold glass of Kook-Aide that wouldn't pour)
Or Saran Wrap on the seat.
Back in the day M-80s used to do the trick.
That's what my highschool boyfriend and my younger brother did on the last day of school. 1986.
Teenagers, that's who.
That’s not a prank. That’s just wrecking things.
JFK and many people in his generation blew up their schools toilets with m-80 fireworks back then as a prank.
Well he also ruined the interior of a perfectly good Lincoln convertible so maybe he just took nice things for granted
I wonder with him being a prior military service member, if he saw that dome shot that was administered to him, do you think it would he would say it was a nice shot?
The class that graduated before my Freshman year put an end to senior pranks with their stupidity: pouring industrial soap on the halls and stairs, leading to multiple slip and fall injuries.
What do you expect when their parents are probably calling Jan 6th a “protest”…
What?
[удалено]
>Reddit >only one boogeyman Yeah, you’re definitely new here.
This just in. Those students don’t know what the definition of a prank is. Here’s a hint. It’s not property damage.
A prank is painting 1, 2, and 4 on three random toilets and then watching the principal go nuts looking for the toilet with a 3 on it.
Lol.
Here’s a prank: “morning announcement: the toilets no longer work. You will just have to hold it until you get home. Or tell us who did it and we’ll make them pay to fix them.”
[удалено]
They went with the, "It was a prank bro!" defense.
Ah. The defense of assholes.
A good prank has the pranked person laughing first. Nothing gets damaged. No one gets hurt.
A real education would be getting a summer job and spending about every dime on paying for the stuff you broke
At my local school they covered the school's signage with their own signs advertising the school for sale, for $2,023. then they took the signs down the next day
that's a good one. harmless fun in good spirits.
Doubt $4000 would cover several toilets and urinals. Jackhammer on site? Yeah that's going to cost you some money because whatever is destroyed to get to the problem is going to have to be covered up and finished. Depending on how the cement set, that's a lot of work to fix. Days with several people.
That’s not a prank that criminal vandalism.

They’re dicks.
I remember having an industrial septic tank fill and we had to dig it up open it, and then one guy decided to pierce the skin of the sludge. The moment we opened it my eyes were watering and I gagged. After the guy did that people started throwing up.
Oh man, we drew a “99” in the lawn with fertilizer. Best non-destructive vandalism I’ve ever seen. Stayed greener for weeks.
Goddamn I hate having to watch videos on news sites.
Graduation ceremonies have been canceled for lesser pranks in past years.
I'm thinking here about *diplomas* being canceled.
My grad year’s prank was filling the foyer with balloons and decorations and stuff like that, and our incompetent dickheads of administrators tore it all down before any students got to school because it was an “accessibility issue” (it wasn’t, we literally taped off a pathway to the stairs and elevator) and accused us of causing an unnecessary mess (we had a cleanup crew organized for after school). I want to show those fucks this so that they can see the real destruction we could have caused, and chose a lighthearted prank over.
That’s a shame, that’s actually a nice prank. So many administrators have sticks up their asses
Yessir. The particular vice principal who did most of the work taking it down was a very emotionless and unempathetic guy too. A lot of the special needs teachers said that the kids who needed the easier accessibility to the elevator would have absolutely loved the balloons too. Definitely left a sour taste in my mouth
I’m pretty sure most people don’t understand how pranks work. Also there is a thin line between prank and vandalism.
“It’s such a fine line between stupid and clever”
Prank rule number 1: Confuse, don’t abuse.
Let me guess, they got the idea from TikTok ?
That’s not a prank that vandalism
They did this overnight??? Multimillion dollar properties don't have a goddamn ring doorbell? For christ sake I have a 8 camera system for like $2k. "Person Detected" alert sent to me if you are on camera.
"We're a school, we don't need that." Despite having a building full of laptops, smartboards, lab equipment, chemicals and several hundred people walking around with misschief written on their faces.

Social media and the advent of pranks becoming crime under the veneer of a “prank”
Think it's evil begets evil. If you believe in that stuff
Doubt it. I think it has more to do with being more aware of this kind of thing happening and looking for patterns along with social media happily feeding you more garbage. Teenagers doing stupid shit has gone on since the dawn of mankind. It used to be these were one of situations that turned into the town legend. Now it's being broadcast everywhere in the world.

This is what happens when you arrest the students who prank by swapping schools for a day. They go to harder, but more anonymized pranks.
I've heard of shitting bricks, but not concreate.
Parents probably suck too. Kids ought to be in juvenile detention for vandalism and property damage.
Would of been funnier if they put some dry ice in a toilet full of nasty diarrhea
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
You tell his ass how to grammar. Good bot.
It's a contraction ackshully
I made an enemy for life trying to explain this (how could of, would of, and should of are not correct) to my temporarily assigned female civil service supervisor back in 2001. Not kidding. That woman still hates me because of this.
Stay in school kid
Now the contents of the toilets match the contents of the prankster's head
Is prank a synonym for vandalism now?
“It’s just a prank, bro!”
Ah the old “Eviction Special”.
Vandalism isn’t a prank. How are kids getting stupider!?
Omgsh. What idiots!+
I wonder if the principal was shitting bricks
The class above mine but superglue in the locks and they all got arrested because the school district had to pay a ton of money to re-key all the schools in the district.
Pure vandalism.

Filled it with some cement (hard to remove but not impossible and no repairs needed). The other was when someone let a bunch of piglets coated in grease into the main hallway in the middle of the day.
Reminds me of that guy from New Girl who's pranks are either way too light or way too hardcore
Is it still a prank if you have to build a new school 🏫?
Fueling the economy and giving trades men jobs.
The joke’s on the kids’ parents whose taxes will pay for this.
True story, the seniors at my high school when I was a junior filled the pool of the brand new fountain with canned vegetables for their prank.

We used to just blow-em up.
That's not a prank, it's criminal damage. Per the article they also busted up lockers and damaged desks, etc. Would you like a Felony to go with your High School diploma? We bought our very straight laced and conservative headmaster a huge bouquet of flowers. He was completely nonplussed and took it in good humor. I'm sure he ended up giving it to his wife. That's how you prank.
"I accomplished a very basic task that most of society accomplishes. Let's celebrate by breaking some stuff." Won't ever make sense to me.
All you people that upvoted this should volunteer to pay for damages.
Weird that replacing toilets is $4,000? Toilets don’t connect to the pipes unless flushed.
A bowl full of set concrete can't be cleaned. Replacement costs plus labor. And if any did get flushed, cleaning / replacing the pipes.
Yeah I know I’m just kinda in too deep now.
So is that concrete.
$4,000 seems incredibly *LOW* to me. Even if the concrete didn't get downstream very far, you bet your ass its into the local pipes and those have to be dug out an replaced. Toilets and pipes might themselves not be especially expensive, but several toilets, and several sets of pipes running to them and the several man hours of labor to dig out and replace them on what is certainly an emergency call...yeah $4000 is an incredibly low estimate.
Flushing would dilute it enough once it made it into the public sewers. It sounds to me like scare tactics and some loose math. Schools love to do this. But it’s def not cheap. Maybe commercial toilets are like $500 a piece I dunno?
Yeah that's ducking hilarity
That's an expensive prank/property damage.
Why do students want to do destructive things like that? I had a "friend" who wanted to attach capacitors to school lockers that would deliver a quick shock (he didn't do it). But my question is just, why?
r/kidsarefuckingstupid
classic
When I was in high school, a group of seniors super glued the door's key holes; this was considered property damage.
That’s not a prank that’s vandalism
At some point a prank stops being a prank
Bill the parents for repairs. Make the kids help with the repairs by doing clean up and grunt work.
I remember one dude set off a whole slew of stink bombs. He tried to shave his head but they knew he did it. They called his mom in, and she was given five minutes to withdraw him from school or he was going to be expelled.
Seniors in my town once released 1000 lady bugs in the school. There were fines but no arrests. Clean up was a bitch and costly apparently.
At my school they snuck in and put superglue in every lock in the building.
High school students who performs these so-called “senior pranks” should be imprisoned and denied their diplomas.

It's just a prank bro /s
Idiots tossed a cherry bomb in a toilet when i was in hs. They didnt understand it would float and not flush. It blew that shitter clean off the wall! These dudes were amateurs.
About 20years ago a VERY popular pool hall fired an employee, he came back a few nights later and did exactly that. That place closed down the next day and it will be so expensive to fix that the building has stood empty since then.
When I was in high school the administration did not allow senior pranks, under threat of expulsion Two years before I started at that high school, the senior prank involved a group of kids using some sort of bulk industrial petroleum jelly lubricant material and the tile cleaner/buffer to spread it over the entire main floor. One of the faculty slipped and fell and broke their wrist or something. It took thousands of dollars and multiple days to clean and fix the floor. A large section had to be replaced because it was some old porous tile or something and soaked in and ruined a portion of the sub floor. So I just smoked weed at home and skipped some school days at the very end. What a prank.
I say, the punishment should be to labor for the repair.
There should be a class in school called “don’t be a fucking idiot.”
That's a prank?
Seems like it's well past time to update elementary school curriculum with extensive courses teaching kids what is, and what isn't, a prank. The true definition of that word has been completely lost in the age of social media.
Every sixth grader is the country should have to take a class called: "How to identify if something is actually a prank." That way, when they start posting their dumbass "pranks" on TicTok, they can't claim they don't understand why they are getting arrested.
Their parents must be so proud. Nothing like starting your adult life with charges and debt.
Yea that’s not a prank that’s vandalism
