[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harmless prank = nobody is harmed.  Like the example of calling your friend's house in the afternoon and asking if their refrigerator is running.  Or putting toilet paper around the tree of a girl you have a crush on.

Not harmless prank = somebody is harmed, even if that harm is just being briefly frightened or inconvenienced or woke up from sleep before a day of work. Now, to do one of these types of pranks on a complete stranger at 10pm- that's no longer funny. [/quote]

I usually don't throw this word around, but if your definition of "harm" includes "being briefly frightened or inconvenienced or woke up from sleep before a day of work," you truly are a snowflake.  [/quote]

Yes, frightening someone on purpose- not like shouting "boo!" which is also cruel to do to some random adult stranger, but by pounding on their door in the middle of the night- is harmful.  People are harmed by being terrified that an intruder is about to enter. Who are you? Can I start tapping on your bedroom window with the butt of a gun while you're asleep with your babies, wearing a mask, and call it a harmless prank?  [/quote]
