Simple rule of thumb if a prank is good or appropriate... No prank should ever be harmful in any way. Inconvenient, maybe, but it's a thin line. If whatever you do or say causes someone anxiety or fear that they're losing something important to them, that's not a prank, just abusive behavior dressed up as comedy.

Reply to 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
