So I’ll start off by saying that I’m not a TikTok user and what I do see from Tik Tok is reposted on YouTube.

Ideally this thread won’t turn into a rant about China and commies and how TikTok is a spy service, etc., it’s NOT A POLITICAL THREAD.

This probably came about from me watching a video where kids and mothers conspire and the kid tells mom to “shut up” in the presence of dad, and dad usually has a pretty Alpha dad reaction. A few of those I did find humorous, mostly the ones that were definitely NOT staged.



Now, this other “challenge” or “prank”, not so much.

The premise for this is to text your husband or wife when they are leaving: “He/She just left, come on over babe”.
I will start off with some of these are staged. Some, definitely are not.

At first, I did get a laugh out of a few. Girls coming back, pulling their hair back and throwing shoes at their BF. A common theme I noticed was people coming straight back and saying they’re waiting for so and so to come over. My first thought was he/she “accidentally” texted you, the person “coming over” never got the text, you got it, so how are they coming over?

What really got me was the ones who did believe it was real. The ones who came back and asked “why, why would you do this to me”, or the girl who was “halfway across town” and came back in half hysterical sobs. They girl going in the gym that came back and didn’t freak out, just asked him to come work out with her, almost started begging him.
Like the ones that thought it was real, you could see the heartbreak. It was genuine in a couple of them and you could really see that their heart was absolutely broken. Even though they were told it was a “prank”, they still had this devastated and hurt look to them. That look of “I love and trust you and you just curb stomped my heart for what, a fucking TikTok?”

Maybe I’m getting old, but it’s a fucking cruel thing to do to someone you love. I won’t lie, there are times I really don’t like my wife. She drives me fucking mad, but at the end of the day, I really do love her. I couldn’t imagine hurting her in a way like that. What a fucking ugly thing to do.

I hope I included enough options in the poll.

Please, feel free to explain your thoughts on this below. I am curious to other’s opinions and thoughts about this.

Question:
Would you ever “prank” your spouse by texting them “She just left, come over now babe.”?

Choices:
Yes, why not?
No, it would break her heart.
Yes, because that’s our kind of humor.
No, because she might actually hurt me in a fit of rage!

 

I think a good portion of them are fake, just trying to generate views.

TikTok from what I've seen (like you, posts on YouBoob) is a cesspool period.

Yeah 95% of the tiktok junk or the equivalent on YouTube are just clickbait brainrot. I'm single so my opinion here is probably worthless but this seems like a stupid "prank".

This staged/reaction stuff is just stupid, low brain cells, and just pure fodder. The ones where they do it in public, or someone’s business, even worse.

I’m not, and never will “prank” anyone doing anything. Life is too short. Children play “games” and now we have grown ass adults doing this stupid shit. Mindless behavior and a complete waste of time.

That's not funny, and I'd never do it.

Agreed. I couldn’t imagine hurting someone like that. It just seems so cruel.

Ticktock, FB, etc are all fake. “Watch until the end” is about money, plain and simple.

However, not all relationships are the same and some people have spouses/significant others with similar sense of humors.

There is another "tik-tok challenge" or whatever you want to call it.
According to news lately there are a lot of kids doing this.
Stupid kids are going to get killified doing this crap.

They run up to a house and try to kick the door in. Some run up at full speed, kick the door, and run off.
They do this for "likes" on tiktok. Idiots.

Here's an example I grabbed off of YouTube, there are many more. Hear the laughter as he comes off of the kick and runs off.

Some things can never be undone, no matter how the doer might apologize. This is one of them! It is incredibly cruel.

Anyone who has been cheated on in a marriage and then ended the marriage would not find this prank anything but deeply hurtful.

I don't think my marriage would survive if either of us did this "prank" to the other.

I think a good way to look at such a silly idea would be to see if from the other side. How would you feel if you received such a text after just leaving the house?

That "prank" is just nasty. Sub-human.

Let's see, the woman that I love (+++), was instrumental in raising two successful kids, stood by me through thick and thin (there was plenty of thin), and I look forward to seeing her every day when I get home from work. (FYI she doesn't like guns, sports cars, nor sport bikes yet has never said a word about me owning them). Dropping a piece of shit on my baby is not even in my universe of thought.

Being a confirmed stick-in-the-mud, I find practical "jokes" and pranks extremely annoying, profoundly un-funny and have a decidedly unamused response to them.

The vids mentioned in the o.p. are tossed in the " no reason to watch" pile.
Along with feeding babys sauerkraut, waking people with air horns,
Indiscriminate scaring the old people shitless,
And look at my thalidomide baby, animal or relative vids.


Put me down for giggling babies, cat and dog vids,
Cool custom or vintage cars and trucks, science and some dumbed down technology vids.

That's not a "prank". That's abject cruelty. No way you can claim to love someone and also do this to them. It would be a relationship ender. Some say the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference. No way you could pull this type of prank unless you were totally indifferent to the feelings of your "loved one".

I'm not married, but I'd never even think of doing anything like that.

At a couple of my workplaces, we would sometimes pull very mild, non-harmful pranks, but everybody did it to each other and the victim "mark" was a "good sport" about it. This goes way beyond that.

1. TikTok is 100% all phony BS designed to get clicks

2. It’s a Chicom weapon designed to make us all dumb as hell and easier to subjugate someday

3. The fact that the Chicoms won’t even let THEIR OWN PEOPLE use it tells you all you need to know about it

Thanks for threadcrapping, and reading the second sentence of the thread. You obviously didn’t read the whole thing.

Agreed on all parts. As FEV said, how would you feel. Could you imagine the feeling in your solar plexus, that “hurt feeling” hurt, and how for the duration of the “prank” feeling as if the world you know, love, and have created just came crashing down? But that damned feeling in your solar plexus. It’s really the worst feeling ever.

Then you would find out it’s a joke, but that hurt feeling wouldn’t just go away. The one you live and trust just hurt you in a way that is almost unimaginable.

Topping it off, now the seed of distrust has been planted. I don’t see how you could ever trust your spouse 100% again. Not just would the trust be wrecked from them causing you to think they are cheating, but when that pain is over, you have to deal with the fact they just treated you so poorly and cruelly. Now it’s coming to terms with the fact that your spouse doesn’t really live you and as XinTX said, they’re indifferent to you.

In all reality, I think I would rather my spouse was cheating on me, than playing that cruel joke on me.
