@twohottakes.us: I accidentally sent my sister’s husband to the ER after he jumped out at me as a “joke” while I was holding a kitchen knife. Now my family is divided and I don’t know how to fix this #redditreadings #redditstories #twohottakes #aita #Relationship #aitareddit #storytelling #fyp #marriage

Shaz :

Pranking is aggression. It’s not funny.

DRiv :

Here’s the apology “I’m sorry you didn’t take my boundaries seriously and you hurt yourself in the process of again crossing my boundary. I hope we both can heal from your mistake.”

user7020677355305 :

No, you just need to set your boundaries and move on

SwiftSunrise :

No contact with everyone who blames her.

Marina the Mermaid :

The flipping of the image is irritating

if the prankee doesnt laugh then it's not a prank its just being mean

Goordarder :

Prank culture is toxic. Jump scares cause psychological or in this case physical damage.

Jennifer Nelson Crim :

Not the consequences of his actions

L Gentry :

NTA. It wasn’t a prank. It was abuse.

oregonmama86💙💙🇺🇲💙💙 :

we teach our kids that the kitchen is not a play room, no goofing off in there because people get hurt (ive seen nasty things happen because people dont care)

Sarah :

Consequences of his own actions. Not at all on you. At all.

Rsy Aveunalliv :

sue

🇨🇦🏴‍☠️sXeKhaos🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ :

Why are we jumping out at someone holding a knife? That’s a stupid thing to do.

Clairee (pjo version) :

That is a trauma response. She has made it clear she doesnt like the jokes

dark rose❌️ :

if you let people know the boundaries especially one that is due to trauma AND he continues then you can NOT be held responsible for YOUR natural reaction and the trauma response

kittycatheaven93 :

I feel like people lost the plot when it comes to pranking. if it causes injury or emotional harm its not a prank. if the person you pull a prank on isn't laughing its not a joke.

Bradcraz 🥓 :

All I needed to hear was title. NTA

Priscilla :

No

Heidi T :

Get a no contact order.

tribiancaa :

how tf would she know it was him?

Andromeda_Potter14 :

everyone who knows me, knows not to jumpscare me, expeshialy from behind, because I instinctively fear punch, very hard

briana_be.you_do.you :

Naw, he decided he didn’t want dinner at home.

Abby :

Even without OP’s triggers from the home invasion, it’s incredibly stupid to startle someone holding a 🔪 in general
