Reply to comment by NoVaFlipFlops in LPT: Since April 1st is coming up. A good tip to live by is that everyone should be able to laugh at your prank at the end. If everyone ends up laughing at the person getting pranked, and they are just the punchline, chances are you're just being a jerk. Don't be a jerk. by moosepooo

I had a similar experience in my 20s, then one day the thought of "the people telling you these things care about you and wouldn't make this up to hurt you" popped into my mind and it was a huge turning point.

"Consider the source" has a negative connotation usually, but really works both ways.
