Do we ever grow out of pranking our siblings? No, but is there also a time and place for a woman in her 20s to be blasting her brother's new car with silly string? Yes–and it's not when he's bending over backward to do you a favor. This childish little sister took her pranks to another level at the expense of her older sibling, although, things didn't go as planned when he didn't see the humor in getting accosted. 

At a certain point, getting pranked incessantly turns into straight-up mean behavior. When a person's not in a 'prank receiving' mindset and they get a bucket of pudding dumped on their head, the only ones laughing from behind their hidden cameras are the ill-timed pranksters. 

Well in our next story, there was no Ashton Kutcher to jump out from the inside of a prank-rigged surveillance van, only an irritable older brother who was fed up with his baby sister's childish pranking. After this, here's another story of a younger sibling with poor timing and selfish antics who was furious when his brother couldn't attend his last minute, spontaneous wedding.

    AITA for leaving my sister and her new husband stranded on their honeymoon because they wouldn't stop pranking me?

    I (28M) have a younger sister (26F) who's always been a prankster. I've usually gone along with it, but during her wedding and now her honeymoon, it's been way over the top. She and her new

    husband planned their honeymoon in a beautiful mountain cabin a few hours away, and she asked if I could drive them there since they didn't want to rent a car. I agreed since they're family and it was a way for me to contribute without buying an expensive gift.

    From the moment I picked them up, they were in full prank mode. They switched my GPS to another language, hid my phone when I wasn't looking, and kept messing with the radio. I laughed it off, but I was also kind of annoyed because it

    was a long drive. When we got to the cabin, they convinced me to stay for a bit to "check out the view" and grab a bite to eat. Then they took my keys and hid them. I spent almost 45 minutes looking for them while they laughed their heads off.

    When I finally found my keys, I told them I was done and ready to go home. My sister begged me to stay longer, but I'd had enough of the "honeymoon pranks." As I was leaving, they sprayed silly string all over my car, which I'd just cleaned before the trip.

    So, I got in my car and left - but I didn't realize until I was halfway home that my sister had left her purse and my brother-in-law left his phone in the backseat. They started blowing up my phone, begging me to come back, but I was exhausted and honestly didn't

    feel like dealing with another prank, so I said they could come get their stuff when they got back. They managed to get a friend to bring it to them the next day, but now they're mad at me for "ruining the start of their honeymoon."

    My sister says I'm being too sensitive and can't take a joke, but I think they went too far. AITA for leaving them stranded?

    shammy_dammy NTA. Someone else can go get them and you can stop being around them. They're exhausting and completely rude.

    CPA Lady They would rather spend their honeymoon pranking OP by hiding car keys so OP can't leave as opposed to getting OP out as fast as possible and being alone? Make it make sense.

    rebekahster This was my thought. If I were the newly weds it would be "thanks so much for the ride! Love you! See you when we get back!" I'd want alone time with my new husband, not to have my sib 3rd wheeling.

    Agoraphobe961 You took her purse and his phone as a prank! She really needs to learn how to take a joke

    BubblegumxBliss I agree. They took things too far with the pranks. If they can dish it out, they should be able to take it too. You were more than patient, and at a certain point, enough is enough OP. NTA

    Zealousideal Till683 The way I see it, you didn't so much leave them stranded, as you played a prank on them. You took their stuff - how hilarious! Tell your sister that she is too sensitive and needs to learn to take a joke.

    Jess Belll I totally agree! Sometimes people just need to lighten up and learn to laugh at themselves. It was all in good fun, and if they can't see the humor in it, that's on them. Not every joke lands with everyone, but it doesn't make it mean-spirited!
