UPDATE: 20-year-old woman tells step-dad and mom off for pranking 17-year-old brother: 'You might be laughing now, but you'll be crying later'

Pranking is always fun for the person pulling off the joke, but it's a mixed back for the dude who got pranked. 

If you're a prankster, you might be constantly finding ways to poke fun at those around you. That's all fun and games for you, but people react very differently to getting pranked. It's not just the joke itself, but the timing of the prank and the people involved matter a lot too. A lot of folks, myself included, really dislike pranks. Why? Well, in general, they give a lot of satisfaction to the person pulling the prank, but they often just irritate the person on the other end. There's not a lot of benefit to being pranked! As the person pulling the prank, you get to laugh or record some video content, but you're doing this at your friend or family member's expense. 

This 17-year-old just found out the hard way that his own family members are pranksters who are willing to take a joke way too far. They sound completely awful, and it might be best for that kid and his sister to cut them out of their lives and find a nicer life with people who are more respectful.
