Refreshing! Too many “pranks” on the internet are assault or harassment.

Outside my high school there was a bench that was missing its seat boards, but it had all the back boards. So three of us would “sit” on it, using our backs to hold us up. When someone came by to wait at the bus stop, the person sitting in the middle would slide down to the ground, confused, and the other two of us would look at them with a disdainful expression. We tried to see how many people we could get to double-take at us.

I trip over nothing all the time

With a gimpy leg, this is me too often, lol. Though sometimes it is just a tiny uplift in the cement.

If nothing else it’s good to have video confirmation that once you get out of line of sight of people you trip in front of, they really are laughing at you! Thanks for that…

Right? But think of all the laughter we’re bringing into the world.
I agree. I also liked that after a couple or so trippers have passed, someone would get up and check the spot to try and figure out why people are tripping.
It reminds me of a human variation of the “pretend to throw the ball” trick that is played on dogs. “It has to be there!”

Would have been awesome if that dude on the bike had come along to the trip spot and done what we, back in the radical BMX days, used to call an indo!

Apparently a slight difference in step heights on a staircase can cause tripping over nothing:

THAT would have been commitment!

we know nothing of the world man. “Beirut” which I think of (because I don’t think much at all) is a bombed out war zone w/ combatants everywhere…and this looks like a scene from Santa Monica.

It hasn’t really been that since the 80s and 90s, and it wasn’t that before

Before the civil war and ongoing conflict with Israel, Lebanon was a popular tourist destination. It had one of the best club scenes in the middle east. That entire coast of the Mediterranean is gorgeous.
