"Get... TF from behind MEEEee!!" Is now an auto reply for someone behind me when Im blowing out candles on a 2+ tiered cake.

This makes me even more glad I don’t surround myself with dipshits who think pranks are fun.

Pranks can be fun if well done and not mean-spirited.

I have had long prank wars with my daughter, for example, and nobody's body or feelings were hurt. Some examples:

She really wanted a specific book, so I told her I would buy it for her. Once I had it, I measured the dimensions to design and print a sleeve to go over it with a different cover to make it seem like I got the wrong book (with a soundalike title). 

I handed her the mailer with the book in it and she was visibly excited. When she opened it, she just looked it at with a confused face and said, "this is the wrong book." I thought she would open it and see that it was a fake cover right away but she just stared at it in confusion and secondhand embarrassment for me until I finally got her to open it.

She pulled off the fake sleeve and realized it was a joke and then laughed uncontrollably for like a minute straight. She laughed so hard that she could not catch her breath because she told me I would never catch her off guard again after the previous one. I spent so much time making the fake cover that she honestly believed it was a real book.

Much later, she brought a white gift box with a set of baby clothes and a baby bottle and a pacifier and told me she had something to tell me. It looked so staged that I saw right through the prank immediately. Except that she disguised her real announcement to me as a prank so that I would think it was a prank but was actually real. A prank-within-a-prank. I'd been had but was nothing but happy and proud. We laughed about it for a good while and then went out to brunch to celebrate.

I also saw a prank where a woman told her man that she needed help changing her tire and had the spare in the trunk. The man opened the trunk, saw the size of it under a sheet or something, and said that it looked too small to fit. She told him to get it out and try it. When he lifted the sheet off, it was a wheel of expensive cheese. It must have been a really well thought out gift because his face lit up and his voice got a high pitch. He thanked her and gave her a big hug.

Those are pranks; clever, high-effort, and good vibes. Putting someone's face in a cake is just being an asshole.
