He Blocked His Friend For Pulling A Dangerous Prank Involving His Car That Caused Him To Get Stuck In A Storm
While occasionally pranking a friend can be fun, you should never risk pulling a prank on someone that could lead to dangerous consequences.
A man blocked his friend after he pulled a prank that involved his car and put him in a dangerous position.
He’s 33 and works as a delivery courier. He used to work alongside his 30-year-old best friend, Bob. They used to be really close, spending their days making deliveries and having long chats.
At home, he has a wife, who is from another country, and a toddler son.
He and Bob previously worked for the same boss, but he eventually was hired to work for someone else, so he didn’t see Bob as often as he used to.
When they worked together, he remembered Bob talking about wanting to prank him someday.
Sure enough, Bob did, but it was a terribly dangerous prank.
One day, Bob got off work before him, around 2:30 pm, and decided to mess with his car.
“He [took] a pink string and tied it through all four doors and my hatch on the back and both mirrors across my windshield,” he explained.

Later that day, Bob asked him if he had any knives or scissors in his car, which he thought was odd, but he told him no since he doesn’t want sharp things around whenever he’s driving his son.
After clocking out, while he was trying to rush home to his wife and son, who were dealing with a power outage at home, he realized why Bob asked him that.
He had just hung up his phone to tell his wife he’d be home soon to fix the power and get her and the baby out of their house.
“Upon going out into the parking lot, it started to rain harder, as predicted on this day, and the rain just started downpouring like a flood,” he recalled.
“I get to my car only to find out the string is blocking me from getting inside.”
He could hardly force his car door open due to the string and almost broke his mirrors while squeezing into his car as the rain poured down.
By the time he made it inside, the inside of his car was soaked, and water had gotten all over his console and phone chords, which he needed, as his phone was about to die.
Since he didn’t have anything sharper than his car keys on him, which Bob knew, he couldn’t cut the string, and they prevented his windshield wipers from working properly, which was extremely dangerous, as the storm only got worse as he made his way home.
Thankfully, he made it home safely after about one hour and decided that day he was done with Bob.
“I told [Bob] I was done with him and have had him blocked ever since,” he said.
“He was a good friend before but is certainly rough around the edges. He, of course, has apologized, but to me, this act was extremely childish.”
Bob has apologized several times over the years and claimed he had no idea it would rain that day, which he suspected wasn’t true.
Now, after learning that Bob recently went through a divorce, he’s wondering if he was too harsh for cutting him off.
Was he too harsh, or would you have done the same thing after that prank?
