    If someone who I considered a friend pulled that kind of stunt with me I would have one fewer friend. Screwing with people is rude and it’s plain bully behavior when you know they’re stressed and you mess around with a thing that is cruicial for them. You had fun at someone else’s expense.

      Or maybe I know my friends better than you do after reading a quick story.

      Idk man, maybe if this was the first time we did anything in this realm I could see that, but it’s an established part of our relationship. We trust each other. And maybe some levity with no real stakes actually helped lighten his stress during a difficult time, and that was the whole point? He was spiraling a bit and wouldn’t take a break, so just a bit of fun helped him chill and refocus, IMHO.

      He graduated cum laude so I think it all worked out pretty well. I think you need to chill a bit and not assume you know everything about everyone after like 3 lines of text
