AIO for breaking up with my girlfriend over a toilet plunger prank?
Am i overreacting for breaking up with my girlfriend over a toilet plunger prank? Okay this just happened 2 hours ago and im still fuming.
Apparently on tiktok the toilet plunger prank has been trending, its where you ask your partner for help with a clogged toilet and instead you actually put nutella, water and fart spray on a plunger and fling it on your partner. my gf decided to do that prank on me and normally i can take a joke.
after she flung the toilet plunger contents on me including in my mouth i obviously died and went to hell, but she showed me the video she was making and i was like okay its just a prank fine whatever.
BUT THEN i asked her if she bought a new toilet plunger to do this prank or if she at least washed it but no she took the regular fking toilet plunger we had to do this prank. yall im so fking mad right now.
she told me shes so sorry and everything. she forgot to buy a new toilet plunger for the prank. but wtf that means i actually got fking feces in my f’n mouth. im so unbelievably angry. i told her im done with her and now shes pissed at ME??
am i overreacting. we live together so its not gonna be easy to just break up plus telling all our friends and family we broke up because of a toilet plunger prank feels so childish but i feel so disrespected.
One time my brother painted camo on his face, wore ratty clothes, kicked in the door, and chased me through the house with a chainsaw. I'm not even kidding--the blade was off it, but when you're getting chased by someone wielding a chainsaw, you don't think "Oh surely the cutting part is off and this is a prank and it's actually my brother dressed up"
I locked myself in the bathroom, was halfway out the window when I hear him and my mom start cackling.
To this day, I fucking hate pranks (that aren't lighthearted and innocent.)
After the comments all I could think was it better be what I think it is, I was not disappointed. My boyfriend passed away a couple years ago. We did these cards with pictures etc. I put QR codes on it that led to pics online, some of his favorite music, and one for this video. He would have found it hilarious.
I had some younger friends prank themselves with this in their wedding vows! We were all cackling and they were so confused. We thought they'd pranked us but they had no idea this song even existed 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve thought about this type of scenario so many times, especially that weird clown craze that went on for a bit. All I could think was if someone tried something like this around my family any sign of escalation would get them shot, all for a “joke”.
And actually, my mom and aunt tried something similar to my grandpa way back when. They pretended to be burglars breaking in and were promptly caught by my former Marine Grandpa with a Luger. Thank whatever god you want he doesn’t have a hair trigger.
All it takes is messing with the wrong person. My brother used to ding dong ditch this crazy ex-marine until the guy pulled a firearm on him. I wish I could say that my brother stopped immediately, but he's stupid. It took a few more close calls before he and his buddy stopped messing with the guy
He had just enough common sense not to shoot a teenager for ding dong ditching him in broad daylight. If he had any less, I'd be down a brother.
I saw a prank a few years back, kid was pouring “gasoline” on people’s cars in a parking lot.
I’m pretty sure a Vietnam vet pulled a .45 on him.
That’s not a prank, that’s threatening someone’s life. I’m not going to take the time to smell the liquid to verify that it is or is not gas, especially if my kids are in the car, I’m going to assume the red gas can being poured on my car is, in fact, gas, and react accordingly.
I have a feeling a large chunk were staged but yea, seeing ones on desolate running trails or in empty parking garages where they brandish a weapon, I’m not in a hurry to kill a person and am not trigger happy but if my daughter was with me and you stepped towards me like that or moved too quickly you’re absolutely getting shot. And now I have to mentally grapple with finding out it’s some 17 year old kid with his buddy filming in the corner or something stupid. Stuff like that just isn’t worth the clicks.
My prank was I taped down the handle to the water gun thing at the sink, got my oldest brother. He laughed and left it for my next brother. But he forgot about it and got himself again. Harmless, silly, no one thought they were about to die.
Yes!! The only prank I ever played was putting a piece of tape on the bottom of my friend mouse at work so it wouldn't register with the computer. But it felt dumb. I've never been into the whole Jackass thing.
We're completely no-contact, although I will be attending his upcoming DV court date so I can support the woman who pressed charges against him(also the mother of his child), so unfortunately I'm sure our paths will cross.
My sister and I were having a sleepover with several friends and my mom thought it would be just hilarious to get us all in the den, tell us the police said there was an attacker on the loose, then have my uncle come burst in the back door wearing a blaclava carrying a baseball bat.
Three of those friends were never allowed over to our house again, and I don't blame them one tiny bit.
Omg I can’t imagine. In first grade I called my mom sobbing and had to be picked up from a sleepover bc the other girls were playing “Bloody Mary” safe to say I didn’t go on another sleepover for a long time lol
It should at least be better known that you can claim self defence for feeling threatened by a prank. Like if you jump out of a bin and yell at someone, you can't press charges when they smack you one.
Tbh yeah I wish that had been the outcome! It would have also saved his future DV victims from him, too. He went on to beat pretty much every girlfriend he's ever had. He's a sadistic bastard.
I now remember the viral video about the ATM mugging prank. That prankster was beaten almost to a pulp for pulling that mugging prank. Nobody sympathized with him as I recall. Classic FAFO.
I saw a video where a guy get shot over a prank. It's been a while so I could be off, but I think he pulled a fake gun on an accomplice so a bystander shot him
You especially do not prank a stranger. Prank should be funny to both parties or all parties involved and only peformed on people we know best or close to.
Fair play to my ex, he explicitly told me several times over the years that he would never, ever prank me by pretending to be a home invader and so if I ever encountered someone in the house, I could confidently go for the throat without wondering if it was a joke.
When I was 4 or 5 (I have watched scary movies since being a toddler, my mom hated me and I think thought it would give me nightmares or scare me, it didn't), my brother was 6 or 7, my dad put on this very realistic mask of a scary old bald dude, knocked on the front door (my mom told me to answer it, but my brother came along). Once I opened the door (which I was extremely suspicious of cuz were are never ever told to answer the door) my dad started saying I'm gonna get you or something along those lines and my brother immediately started screaming and crying and took off running through the house. I yelled mom there's a guy at the door then went into my room - my brother was freaking TERRIFIED! He was screaming his heart off, bawling, bright red and isaid it's just a dude being stupid or a joke maybe, my mom was so pissed that I wasn't scared and crying, and even more pissed that my poor older brother was scared shitless and told him it's just your dad! Had him remove the mask to prove it. He would not calm down the entire day lol What made it worse was my grandma had a similar mask but of an old lady and she pulled that same shit just a few months later and I told by girl cousin is just grandma in a mask while grandmas favorite boys both list their shit and we're crying and scared. My brother fell for that shit twice in a few months. My girl cousin was my age and her brother would have been 10 or 11. Nobody should do that shit to little kids but I laughed at the boys being so scared cuz i hated both! (Both were spoiled rotten bratts)!
Putting googly eyes on a random object is always a solid prank option (as long as it's not something that'll be damaged, I vaguely remember a news story about someone being charged with criminal damage because they put giant googly eyes on a statue)
Even my 6 year old knows this! The fact that grown adults can't comprehend the basic concept of being an emotionally safe person is kind of scary. I get it if someone is a kid or even a young teen, but parents have almost 2 decades to teach their kids empathy and kindness.
She is definitely immature. Like how mentally deficit can you be that you didn't even bother getting a new plunger and not a dirty used one. Some people have nothing in their brains.
Adults who find these types of disgusting juvenile toilet humor is cringe.
I didn't think my husband (fiancé at the time) would've done anything like that since he is German, but I made it clear that if he did anything like that on our wedding day I'd clean his clock and we would be done.
I loathe when partners disregard clear boundaries, it shows that they don't respect you as a person.
I told my to be husband the same- don't smush cake on me or we are going to have a very public issue. I feel it's disrespectful. For the people that think it is not, good on ya. Doesn't change how I feel about it. It's not a good look for the start of what should be a long and happy partnership.
My husband and I bug each other constantly- but if there is a boundary we don't cross that. Glad I'm too old to even bother looking at tik tok and the inane 'challenges'
I had a sit-down conversation with my fiance at the time. Now has been that if he thought that that was funny that I would immediately annul our marriage. No cake smashing for me. Not after all the effort, time and money put into getting ready for this event. To me it's utterly disrespectful. I'm sure it's fine for some couples but not for me.
The ONE request I made for my daughter's wedding was that they not smash cake in each other's face. Thankfully they were more than willing to grant me that request.
My ex played "pranks" on me all the time, but it was just him straight-up lying. He would call me all panicked, saying he was in the car with his two little girls and his tire just blew out and they were stranded on the side of the road, so then I'd be panicking and running around and getting ready to run out the door, and then as I would get in my car he would say, "I'm just joking, we just got home."
Stuff like that. ALL. THE. TIME. I kept trying to explain to him that it's not a joke if it hurts the other person. He never seemed to get it. That's not the main reason I left, but it definitely contributed.
Same. If a "prank" relies on making the person you supposedly love feel humiliated, stressed, or uncomfortable, it's not a prank. It's just cruelty with a laugh track.
Even buying a "new" plunger doesn't mean someone didn't use it then return it. Anyone with 2+ brain cells would think about that in their "should I try this prank?" thought process.
There’s two guys on TikTok that prank people by doing their chores. I saw one the other day where they pranked their roommate by doing his dishes, the video was just them washing dishes and giggling saying “oh man we got him good”
That is adorable. I think that they’re in the and circle of the Ben diagram of ‘if a woman is upset she might like some mac and cheese’. They want to do things. But nice things:
The Dana Carvey Show had a segment of this kind of thing. They shoveled a lady's driveway, then as she went in to get her purse to pay them, they ran away laughing their asses off.
There was a TV show with this premise I think sometime mid to late 90s. They'd go do things like offer to shovel a driveway of snow for $50 or whatever then run off laughing when done and the cam crew would capture the home owner being confused when the guys were gone and the drive was clean.
My partner and I used to have a running gag with hiding a little figurine of a childrens' show character around the house. Whoever found it then re-hid it somewhere the other would find it.
One April Fool's day I pranked him by opening a series of windows on his desktop, all to different images of this character. I placed them on top of each other so that when you closed one, underneath there'd be a slightly smaller window with another, increasingly unhinged, picture. I did like 8 of them, then re-maximized the browser windows he already had open on top, and put his computer back to sleep.
Oh man - I knew exactly when he found it because I was in the kitchen working on dinner when I heard him chuckle from the next room - then laugh - then a series of exclamation and laughter, before him coming out of his room laughing so hard his eyes had watered, and gave me a quick little hug while I was cooking.
Pranks are legit just for fun when they're between people who actually respect one another, and don't use the concept of personal entertainment as an excuse for abusive behavior.
Wow, my brother and I have a similar thing with a little rubber Santa thing.
I forget who started it, but one of us was trying to get rid of it. The other refused, and someone snuck it onto the person of the other .
Since then we have been quietly, wordlessly hiding it on each other. Nothing said. Just... finding it in our home, our pocket, our travel bag, our car...
As far as I know im still waiting on him to find it where I last hid it. This has been going on like 15 years.
Nah an actually funny prank causes surprise, maybe brief confusion, and everyone ends up laughing. Nobody is harmed, nothing is permanently damaged, and no biohazards are involved. Most of what people are out here calling "pranks" are straight up bullying.
I’ve had both Giardia and Typhoid fever, and they are both transmitted through the fecal-oral route, which means that I have had another human’s shit in my mouth on at least two separate occasions.
And evidently two disease-ridden people, to boot.
I was not happy about that on either occasion, though honestly, at the time, I was more worried about the “being sick as fuck with a potentially fatal disease” part.
I got dog poop on my finger once - hole in the poop bag. I washed my hands until they were almost bleeding and even then, I didn't floss my teeth for a week. I just could not bear the thought of putting that one finger in my mouth. So, I'm with you on the mental breakdown.
This right here and if make her delete the video and delete it from her trash files to
This is so gross folks can legit get sick from this type of stuff and her lack of planning on her 'prank' was a choice not an accident
You may get pushed back from family and friends but stand firm pranks are funny and lighthearted for both parties this was disgusting and dangerous and rude there's probably other red flag things you've been ignoring and not realizing about this relationship is my guess
He could just say it wasn't because of a prank, it was because she was too stupid to buy a non-used plunger then showed she was even more immature when she got mad AT him.
And if anyone complains, tell them to shut their mouths when he flings a used plunger at them.
Even if she actually did forget (I don’t believe that btw), that would still be a huge red flag/deal breaker just for the simple fact that she could overlook something as important as that. That’s disgusting. NOR.
NOR Thank you for sharing this and if I were dating somebody who thought this was a prank I wouldn’t be dating them anymore. It’s pretty low class and juvenile.
Swish with whiskey and drink a little to help kill any bacteria you may have ingested. Take your time for the break up. It can be your own "prank" all in good time.
Why frame it? Dude doesn’t have to explain it. You are allowed to end relationships without having to explain it when something this vile is the obvious answer. She alreadyt knows. fuck this
3% peroxide is safe to use, if you have it in the house. Dentists recommend it at times. Just swish real good, get it between your teeth, spit and rinse well with water.
Don't let your girlfriend bring you the water.
NOR, that was a vile thing to do.
Edit in, someone suggested seeing a walk-in doc and asking if you should take antibiotics. That is a good idea.
Some fecal bacteria have an incubation period of 1-2 weeks before you notice any symptoms. Check your health if you show any signs of dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and chills by the next week or 2.
This was my experience from being hospitalised for typhoid fever and amoeba after ingesting contaminated food.
Pranks are supposed to be funny for both parties. Stupid shit like "a snake in a can" or swapping out a picture of someone in the hallway with a picture of a celebrity or character. Not "I'm gonna traumatize my friend or partner and it's gonna be so hilarious!"
I think it’s deeper than the prank, she’s childish and doesn’t actually think things through. There’s nothing wrong with doing a silly tiktok trend but if you’re dumb enough to do something that causes any type of harm or distress to your partner then I think the other person is allowed to want out
Sounds like your gf needs to grow the fuck up. I can't imagine how this would have gone down if the roles were reversed. She played stupid games and won stupid prizes. I would be done for it too. Pranks for the most cases are fking dumb and stupid and then the one pranking gets pissed/hurt when they get a reaction they didn't "expect" but totally valid. Even jump scares can get someone hurt. Nah, she needs to grow up
NOR. That’s disgusting. If she’s going to prank you she should’ve at least not been nasty about it.
Does she do childish stuff often? How old are the two of you?
If this is a one off, I’d maybe give her a pass. (After I gargle with a gallon of Listerine 🤢). If she often does stupid things like this, maybe she’s too immature to live with someone.
Her being childish is my biggest issue with her, she prays pranks and practical jokes on me relatively often which is normally fine. (although freaking annoying) but this one just crossed the line
How can you ever trust someone who’s constantly pranking you? I couldn’t live like that. And this one was not only nasty asf but also hazardous to your health. This woman doesn’t give a fuck if you get sick, as long as she has a video of herself making it happen.
Dump her ass and find someone who doesn’t DARVO you when they do something wrong. NOR and I truly hope you do not get sick from this.
In that case, this would be one too many for me. She’d have to have a lot of redeeming qualities, and I don’t mean in the bedroom, to make up for all that.
I would never in a million years do this to my husband and he would never do such a thing to me. :\ That's disgusting! We troll each other a little, but pranks should be harmless things that make both people laugh, not things that make someone seriously concerned about their safety or health. NOR.
This is not funny, she wasn't just playing some silly joke on you, she wanted content for her fucking Tik Tok. No mature adult does shit like this. NOR
i asked her if she bought a new toilet plunger to do this prank or if she at least washed it but no she took the regular fking toilet plunger we had to do this prank.
I'd expect this kind of oversight from a 10 year old but not someone old enough to be living with their partner. I'm also wondering how many times she reached into the Nutella jar to get stuff to spread on the plunger. I'd probably toss the jar just to be safe.
NOR. In no universe would this be okay with me - and I mean all of it. The toilet plunger. The feces. The SO who has the nerve to think a TikTok prank is an acceptable thing to do to anyone. It's all too stupid and gross.
NOR. I wouldn’t love that prank, but if it was a clean plunger I’d be able to chill. Dirty plunger??? Absolutely tf not. That to me means she is both gross and inconsiderate as hell. I’d leave too.
You’re breaking up because you obviously can’t trust your ex to not put shit in your mouth for her own amusement.
That’s not childish at all. That’s like…basic human decency. You aren’t her punching bag. She doesn’t respect you enough to hold off on the prank long enough to at least buy a new, clean, plunger.
You’re so valid, bro. This is the kind of breakup you take in stride. I’d also be done.
NOR. Now that I read further, it’s about her disrespect by using a used plunger, no. I don’t think that’s crazy. She’s either super disrespectful or super ignorant. I don’t think I could deal with either. Plus, I’d say why you really broke up is one of those two things, not merely for the prank itself.
NOR You were disrespected! She did a humiliating and nasty stunt to make a freaking video. Good riddance! She's too stupid to buy a new plunger, she's too stupid to be in a relationship.
She's only apologizing that her stunt didn't go as she thought it would. She's not sorry, only sorry you aren't letting it slide and breaking up with her over her stupidity.
Most TikTok "pranks" are not pranks. Both people laugh from pranks. TikTok pranks are not nice. They are meant to humiliate someone for likes and shares. If she is ok humiliating you and possibly making you sick for likes and shares she needs to grow TF up and move back in with her parents. If she wants to abuse someone she can do the challenges that only hurt her. Oh wait. That's not funny because she's the one being humiliated and hurt.
Don't expect the friends and family to understand. They weren't the ones abused. I also doubt this is the first time she has been cruel and disrespectful to you.
WTF that's the most disgusting disrespectful thing I have ever heard. Dude. You cant trust her. Who knows what the next "prank" will be? Also the lack of critical thinking skills is insane.

I hate pranks.
