So there are 2 friends here and me
I’m an engineering student from a close-knit, non-toxic batch. Recently, five people pulled a fake MNC interview prank on our group. Some fell for it, some didn’t. I accept it was morally wrong, but we saw it as mutual banter.
We have smaller subgroups too. Some of my friends joined those five in pranking us. I fell for the fake interview, they made memes about me, and I made memes about them. It was always mutual. But today, Friend 1 took a meme personally and showed up with a whole mob against me, even though he had done the same to me before. They even threatened me with death. I told them they shouldn’t assume I’m afraid of them in any way. All this happened on College Gate today.
Later
My Friend2 whom i considered brother force me to drive bike to his room. As a good gesture , I decided to drove him there. He asked me to be seated in his room . The Friend 1 again showed up with same mob there threatened me again and Again . All this because they were assuming i made his videos viral ( which i didn't). I obviously made memes because Friend 2 doing same with Friend 1 but Friend 1 had no objection with meme created by Friends 2 , Friend 3 and so on...
Hurts.
But I told mob thrice , not afraid of anyone .
TL;DR: A harmless, mutual meme prank between friends turned serious when Friend 1 took a meme personally and confronted me with a group, repeatedly giving me death threats at the college gate and later at Friend 2’s room. They also accused me of making his videos viral, which I didn’t. I had only made memes as part of the same banter everyone was involved in. It hurts, but I made it clear three times that I’m not afraid of their intimidation.
