“i Left”: Man’s Tiktok Prank On Gf Backfires When She Decides That Enough Is Enough

For most of us, internet pranks were a short-lived and ultimately kind of dumb phenomenon from over a decade ago. However, some people still think they are the pinnacle of humor and keep carrying that torch forward. To each their own, but dating a prankster comes with its own risks and difficulties.

A woman had a TikTok prank pulled on her by a BF, after she explicitly asked him not to. She later shared an update on how she chose to handle the decision. Readers also shared their thoughts on the BF’s actions. We reached out to OP via Reddit and will update the story when she gets back to us.

Internet pranks are generally pretty dumb

Pranks and pranksters tend to not have a great reputation

Internet pranks were notorious for a while, as Youtubers would either fake the reactions of people or, even worse, go out of their way to harass regular individuals just going about their day. This was quite a while ago, and even almost a decade ago, the authorities had already taken measures to punish this sort of behavior.

For example, a UK prank group that called itself Trollstation had some of its members jailed for “prank” robberies and kidnappings, including one well known example at London’s National Portrait Gallery. This was in 2016, a time where most of the world was sick and tired of this sort of behavior. While there was perhaps a small window in time where it was seen as cool and creative, it grew old pretty quickly, leading to more and more extreme pranks that veer into cruelty.

This is all to say that OP’s BF appears to be the last of a, thankfully, dying breed and that she is undoubtedly better off without him. Perhaps she is indifferent to pranks until they happen to her, but it’s hard to imagine he is particularly popular out there. This story also demonstrates that he is absolutely going to keep crossing boundaries in the name of making “content.”

Grossly overstepping someone’s boundaries is a pretty big deal

As questionable as pranks can be, particularly ones so much at a random person’s expense, the real issue ultimately is his crossing of her boundaries. Even worse, he didn’t seem to acknowledge her dislike of this behavior and attempted to make it seem like it was nothing. Undoubtedly, this is exactly what most of their arguments look like in general. This is a classic example of just some time and proximity being enough to end a relationship because one person in it had very questionable ideas.

Because if he is willing to downplay something like pantsing his own girlfriend in public and then shaming her for not having any panties, what other behavior does he engage in? It actually seems difficult to imagine what he could do that might cause him some momentary pause. Importantly, he only apologized when she explicitly broke up with him.

This calls into question the entire validity of the apology. All in all, OP is better off without him, although it might have been best if the sign to leave wasn’t literally having her pants ripped. All in all, this is perhaps not the place for second chances, as he already violated her trust then refused to accept any accountability. A relationship is all about trust and effort, and this boyfriend, like so many other’s online, seems to not have the time for that. Good riddance.

Readers did not have many nice things to say about the BF
