Not sure... ESC is a key on your keyboard... You can't really "click" it...

If the target of your prank doesn't find it funnier than you do, you are an asshole.

That may be an exception. Confused or weirded out should not turn into scared, upset, or angry. It loses its status as harmless at that point.

Not really, there are really funny harmless pranks where bystanders just get confused or weirded out.

I went hard on my mom one year in high school. I drew a tiny spider in marker on the toilet paper. I flipped two cups of water upside down on the counter (so the water stayed in them). I searched all of her shoes so they were the left on the right and the right on the left so when she put them on, they’d be on the wrong foot. I taped a sign to the trunk saying to honk at her. I can’t even remember all of them anymore but it ended up being like 13 pranks. The only thing I didn’t mess with was the coffee. And I made sure none of my pranks would actually make her late for work. I did wake up early that day to her scream in the bathroom but I just kind of laughed and went back to bed. Apparently she took one look at the counter with the cups and was like “she’s cleaning that up”. She said she’s did spend her entire first cup of coffee trying to figure out how I got them on the counter without spilling them before she decided she wasn’t awake enough for that shit. Then she couldn’t figure out why everyone was honking at her going into work until she checked the car when she arrived. We got a good laugh out of it when she got home and she made me demonstrate how to flip the glasses and clean them up without spilling using a plastic table mat.

Exactly, I've seen one stylist use scissors while another uses a razor for the same hair cut, all while using completely different ways to cut it. And they don't come out the same in the end.

Reply to LPT How can I get better at being more approachable and making eye contact? by SuccessfulManifests

I'd recommend you stop caring about the eye contact. You are who you are and that's fantastic. Embrace that's just how you do things. By feeling more comfortable with exactly who you are not who you want to be, you'll show your charismatic side sooner.
