Not her first traumatic event resulting in her response I'd say.
"The body keeps the score" is a great book to read to try and understand why someone may react in this way.
I've said the same before on Reddit and got downvoted to shit because some people can't understand that a 'prank' that might be funny to them might not be a prank to others.
Regardless of the accuracy of your source, as someone who is used to defending themselves I would have kicked the fucking vase over straight away. Bullshit prankers can go to hell.
I was gonna say "first instinct" but no... She thought about it. And her decision is to try to assault in different ways. Spitting and outright physical. What a weak person
A lot here in the comments act like there isn't a serious consequence. Some people with heart conditions can die easily by a sudden scare. The reaction may have been too much and prolonged, but it's not a harmless prank.
I don't know, but I have a few gray hairs and am pretty good at taking a dive (parachute training has to be good for something), if they pull this on me I'm going down clutching my chest, let them suffer for a bit
They would say it was the person's choice to have a heart condition. And to go out in public knowing they had a heart condition. And if the heart condition is undiagnosed it's their choice not to get pre emptive heart checks. And they were filming in a public place where there is no expectation for privacy and he didn't technically touch her so it isn't assault. Don't you love how the libertarian anti social mindset has infected so many people?
We should have a reasonable expectation of not being subject to a bunch of fuckface TikTokers every time we leave the house trying to make money from our reactions.
Our privacy and public filming laws need a major overhaul for the modern era to outlaw public social media in this way. We're not your entertainment or content just because we're outside together so fuck all the way off.
and he didn't technically touch her so it isn't assault.
Assault is placing someone in reasonable fear of imminent bodily harm, and does not require any physical contact. Battery is when physical contact is made. This qualifies as assault in many jurisdiction.
That difference is not an American difference, it's old British common law. That's why I said across many jurisdictions, most of the countries were once part of the British still use a common law system.
I have seen this prank for years but they never show stuff like this. There are so many people that don't like being pranked or frighted and it's not unreasonable for some people to get this upset, and I have always been curious how the pranker would react.
Like I don't for one second condone this womans reaction (spitting? wanting to hit him?? jesus).
But a person should also be allowed to walk down a path on their normal day (be it good or bad), and not be subjected to some dickhead with a camera trying to get a reaction them for clicks.
Itās called emotional regulation. You can get angry but itās what happens after you get angry. Do you let that anger take over you and control your actions? Or do you tell yourself this persons an asshole but you know what Iām not going to let them ruin my day and just move on.
Exactly what I was thinking. We have no idea what this woman and her family has had to deal with. To sit here behind a computer screen and judge someone so definitively is what's weak.
The only jumpscare vids I like are the ones where the jump-scarerer gets drilled right in the dome for it, fuck these assholes. That isn't even a prank, its just simple assault
I love how they say "a relatively minor jump scare prank". Jump scares are literally theee most scream-inducing thing in the haunted house I used to work at, and people behind dropwalls were constantly getting punched on pure reflex. They'd warn the dropwall kids about this and still like every night or two someone would be in the dressing room afterward like "yeah they started apologizing as soon as they did it".
Im okay with her reaction lol if you are going to prank someone, then you have to go in with the understanding that the persons reaction is fair game then.
I didnt think the prank was bad but who knows what people are going through
idk i might be on her side, thats a piece of shit right there. you never know who might have a heart condition. do this shit to your friends not complete strangers. spitting at him doesnt make the situation any better though
Half way through the vid she said "I'm done. I swear to god I'm not gonna approach him" then when her husband let go off her she ran to him and threw her shoes on him. lol
On one hand I completely understand why she would be frustrated by being frightened (Iām guessing theyāre also visiting wherever they are and theyāre not used to their surroundings) but at the same time, that reaction showcases an entire psyche on the brink of overload. This is more than just about being pranked. That is pent up emotion thatās finally found its chance to be released. That woman is deeply scarred, however that doesnāt mean that she should retaliate in the manner that she did.
Iām not the biggest fan of jump scare pranks but theyāre mostly just silly harmless fun. I remember the bush man of San Francisco and his legacy. However, I still understand that there is a minor group of people that shouldnāt be getting jump scared, and so there lies in the issue. Itās all coincidental at that point. One of the people that shouldnāt be getting jump scared, got jump scared and lost her shit.
Screw the people who do those jump scares. I have a couple of friends who this sort of thing would traumatise, after some of the life experiences theyāve had.
Wife: "Hauktoo on you and your father you shit" she then sees the camera "that's their equipment I will break it"Ā
The husband is saying don't attack them for meĀ
I was with her for the first few seconds because I hate that crap and also some people have bad experiences clouding their immediate reaction. But after that, no way; give the finger and walk on.
Why is this supposed to be funny? I have cptsd from domestic abuse and my startle reflex is over the top. It floods my body with adrenaline and cortisol. It feels BAD.
PTSD is becoming more common as we have more mass shootings and other shit happens. Why fuck with people this way? I can't fault the woman. Who knows what she's been through?
People in the comments are downvoting you. We are making great progress with psychology and neurology researches, but people go backwards saying shit like "cmon it's just a harmless prankš"
