Do pranks get childish after certain age?

[Vesuvius87]

I can't remember when was the last time I've ever played a prank on someone. I think I was 18 or 19 years old, not sure and it was a silly one (similar to the good old ''there is a spider'' or ''your car has a flat tire'' ones), nothing in comparing to the horrible ones seen on Youtube nowadays.

I'm 37 and haven't played a prank for the longest and not really in the mood for it. I can't think of any to be honest. Or maybe I just don't have any time for any pranks. Do pranks get chidlish after certain age?

I remember playing some pranks when living in a college dorm when I was as old as 21. But after that age, no I don't recall playing any pranks. One thing I remember was getting together several athletic type guys, and got them to pick up someone's small sportscar and put it up on the sidewalk. Not sure how the guy reacted the next day when his car was on the sidewalk... LOL

No you can prank at any age. Sometimes it can even make you feel more alive and be fun in relationships.

Great one. Those are the good pranks that make people laugh. Unlike the cruel ones, they are just horrible. Horrible pranks I've heard certain people doing nowadays include ''I cheated on you'', ''fake marriage proposal'', ''fake pregnancy'' or a ''Your mom, sister is dead''. Terrible. Those are never ever funny.

[HawkPerception]

The cheating, pregnancy, or death related ones are never cool and it doesn't matter if I'm 16 or 60... I'd break up with someone immature enough to do those kinds of pranks.

[Vesuvius87]

Exactly. Those are things anyone should already know it hurts people's feelings. Any prank involving playing with people's emotions or humiliating someone has gone too far.

[HawkPerception]

As long as there's no emotions involved, I think they can be funny though.

Serious emotions***

The last one I did was sending a friend a pic of their phone on my kitchen table about ten minutes after they left. About 22 years ago.

And yes, it was somewhat childish...

[Redstang88]

No age limit on fun, just gets more challenging to pull off a successful prank as we get older and wiser

[ProbablyClueless]

They do, yes. But I'm a firm believer in never taking yourself too seriously in life.

[RavVid]

Yes. But still like persuading a FF that the locals of a town pronounce the name in a different way and everybody looks at her when she follows my advice.

[NathanDavis]

and then they get dangerous... lol

Pranks will be funny til the day I die 😂

What's your point?

[Vesuvius87]

I was wondering what you think of them overall. If you think there is an age limit to play pranks.

[Opinion Owner]

No. I mean a little common sense goes a long way. Throwing a pumpkin off a bridge while it sounds funny at some age you should understand could kill somebody. So your pranks just tame as you get older. But they never stop. Unless you lose your sense of humor.

About the age of 11 or 12

[DrPepper12]

Absolutely not!!

[Bklynbadboy12]

Absolutely they do

[Vesuvius87]

Exactly. For the longest, I've felt it was just not age appropriate for me. Yet some people just never grow up from that.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Most people that are grown playing pranks are very immature

[eagle1951]

yeah
