Fun prank if you have some young male friends:

1. Create profile with hot babe pictures

2. Set search proximity to lowest setting

3. Swipe furiously until you find your friend

4. Wait for a match

5. Screencap the ensuing conversation

I did this to a couple guys in my platoon. The results were definitely worth the effort.

People like you are better called "forced acquaintance" than "friend". Like, I'll be on good terms with you if I'm forced to be in your social circle, but you'd be out of my life the moment I don't have a compelling reason to interact with you every day.

Here is a better one, how about call a random people and tell them that their kid had terrible accident and they need to come to school imidetly. Its hilarious. /s

Hope there is a special place in hell for people who have cheap laughs at cost of emotional damage of others.

>Emotional damage

Just for clarity, I'm talking about adult males whose job description is essentially "jump out of planes and kill people." We're not made of quite such fragile stuff as, apparently, you are. It sounds like your life must be very difficult.

The level of well-I-never and pearl-clutching in these comments really speaks volumes about the HN commentariat.

I agree with your overall point that what the parent comment is suggesting might be not a nice way to treat your friends.

However, if someone feels an equivalent amount of distress from having a convo with a fake person on a dating app as they would from thinking that some terrible accident happened to their kid at school, I believe they might have some larger personal problems to address first.

It's cool to be kind. It's not cool what you did.

You should have fed the messages to a real woman you matched with and then used the good and bad results as teachable moments.

It would be like making the class walk through a math problems people did right and wrong.

It could have been a great team building exercise.

What were the results?

Getting a request for a provocative picture of eating a corndog was definitely the most funny to me. The Chris Hanson moment was usually when the victim suggested a real date or offered to send a pic of his willy. I'm not THAT committed to humor.
