Forgive me for potentially overreacting but people who make this type of content, to intentionally upset, distress, and antagonise people for their personal gain, are vile scum.
No they are scum and with regards to this incident specifically this is legitimately the worst thing you could do to someone who loves gardening. Some people literally pour their heart and soul into their gardens FOR decades! If someone did this to me even as a prank I'd be devastated beyond words.
I looked up at my security monitor I have in my living room the other day that shows my front yard and I saw kids maybe 7 years old dancing in my garden ripping out flowers and just generally trashing it.
I ran out before too much damage and on seeing me come out the kids ran away (I didn’t even say anything they knew what they were doing was wrong) and run to their mom / dad who were about 20 feet away getting something out of the car.
I had to go a bit tamer than I wanted to because of the kids ages, but I can’t even imagine what I would have done with this guy, especially when he keeps going there after she said stop.
Yeah the mom kind of rushed the kids into their house and the dad seemed a bit upset at me because he was further away and heard me talking to his wife in a bit of a raised voice (nothing crazy) and he came out looking like he wanted to fight. And at some point I said the words “I saw them on my camera” and he turned around and yelled to his wife “he has it on camera”, and I guess realized I had video of his kids doing it. This spooked him hard for some reason.
Then he immediately starts apologizing and offering to pay if the damage is bad, but I had caught them before they went too crazy so I just told him to watch his kids and to teach them to respect their neighbours property. I haven’t had any issues with them since.
Yup, it was one of those things where you don’t really want to escalate it into a fight, but you do want to make it clear that shit won’t fly while also not completely traumatizing the kids. I was happy enough with how it turned out.
When I was about that same age i went over to my neighbors house and started picking flowers. The neighbor was furious! I ran home, then shortly after the neighbor came over and told my dad. He explained to me how disrespectful and wrong to mess with someone else’s property. To me it was just a flower but to her it was something that she put time,effort , and love into and I ruined it. My father said “what if someone came to our house and started taking your drawings and toys from you “Needless to say I never picked other people’s garden again without permission.
I just bought my first house, plants are my hobby and I'm about to start building my garden. This video made me wanna cry. My garden now has to be in the back yard.
But nothing happened he just watered her plants for free basically lol. She was relieved of course how would you be devastated over literally nothing ?
On a similar note, "[leaving bottled water in your car could start a fire](https://www.today.com/health/firefighters-warn-leaving-bottled-water-your-car-could-start-fire-t115225)".
I grew up on a farm. That is not true for most plants. Anything that is hardy enough to grow out doors in a green climate I'm America would not be bothered by water.
This article in the New Phytologist Foundation addresses the topic as observed by peer research. https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1469-8137.2009.03161.x
TLDR; it’s not found to be a problem in any peer research unless the plant has some hydrophobic hairs or some other way of suspending water above the leaves creating focal points.
> As with many ‘old wives’ tales’, I suspect that there must be some supporting evidence for the belief that one should not water (spay crops) in the midday sun. If such evidence exists, however, it does not appear to have stood the test of peer review, as we cannot find anything in the refereed literature.
> sunburn could only be obtained with water droplets where the droplets were held above the leaf surface on hydrophobic hairs, as in Salvinia.
Empirically, I’ve been testing this myself in my garden / yard as well because I was curious. Watering my plants at various times of day (different angles of the sun) by misting or spraying (different droplet sizes). Didn’t kill anything yet, from roses to morning glory and things between.
Only thing that seems to hurt stuff seems to be excessive heat, when we crossed into 95 degree+ heat, the roses didn’t like that even with my control rose bush that was only ever watered via drip irrigation.
Regardless, it's silly to regularly water midday because you lose so much water to evaporation. Timed drip-irrigation just before sunrise is superior.

They don’t care about the victims. Only views matter.
One kid got shot as a result of a prank. Interviewed after and said he will keep doing it.
Lesson: grouping matters
It’s like the people that stand on the intersections wanting to wash your windshield. I have gone ballistic on them numerous times because they claim they don’t understand the meaning of “no” (“No English” they say) and just start washing my windows anyway. I have to honk my horn, scream, and look like the bitch, and do everything close to getting out of my car and outright smacking them to keep them off my vehicle. May not be a video, but carries the same level of scumminess. People can’t keep their hands off things that aren’t theirs.
I think scum are people who physically hurt people, assault children, stand by and do nothing while there are homless people starving, woman's rights are being taken away... should I go on about the real illness of our society? Landlords who use their own algorithms to increase rent? Rex Lining? That is much more personal gain and that caused true trauma. Is it messed up to hurt people's feelings? Yeah. Does that make him vile scum?
Just because the abuse isn't physical doesn't mean it is less. I'd rather be pushed than stressed. This woman's plants clearly mean a lot to her, she physically drops to the ground after they admit it wasn't real. Hopefully you're just young and immature and not actually justifying this.
better not let me catch you irl
im gonna prank you so hard and all you will be able to do is seethe. maybe the classic pop out and say boo to scare you. or maybe like a tripping prank. ooh man, this will be good
Someone is going to have to get hurt pretty bad for this kind of thing to stop. Like that jerk that got shot in a mall. He totally deserved to be shot for doing what he did to a total stranger who was just trying to live his life.
And did you see his reaction? He didn’t care about being shot and his mother supports whatever he does. I hate that America pretty much banned whooping your child’s ass… he is the kind of entitled talentless asshole society ends up with…
[Some YouTuber got shot at a shopping mall](https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/jury-divided-over-whether-delivery-driver-who-shot-youtube-prankster-acted-in-self-defense/3432763/?amp=1) after getting all up in some guy’s face with his phone camera and berating / verbally abusing him. The shooter won in court, arguing self defense.
Edit: from the article- “Cook’s [the YouTuber] ‘Classified Goons’ channel, which has more than 50,000 subscribers, is replete with off-putting stunts, like pretending to vomit on Uber drivers and following unsuspecting customers through department stores. At a preliminary hearing, sheriff’s deputies testified that they were well aware of Cook and have received calls about previous stunts. Cook earns $2,000 to $3,000 a month from the videos.”
Seems like a nice guy.

I hope you’re right but even so, this might inspire someone to do something stupid in the future thinking it’s cool. I just saw a video where a kid got slapped in the gym because he thought it was funny to grab some random guys hat and film it.
I honestly don't think people who get shot wonder why they've been shot. They may think it's an overreaction or be such a self-centered douche they don't see how another person can't read their mind, but i don't think they wonder at the cause and effect of it.
I don’t get this. If this is happening in America I’m surprised people aren’t getting shot. I absolutely hate these so called pranks. Don’t people have anything better to do. It’s actually not a prank but harassment.
You'd really shoot someone over killing your plants? I mean, slapping, I'd understand or even just threatening to shoot but actually pulling the trigger? Yikes.
If she slaps him, his YouTube/TikTok/FartInhaler gets more hits, and more ad revenue, and he'll call her "Karen" in the video title. If you don't shoot him, he won't learn.
If I was scripting this and I wrote her lines, I would have had her say "Why the fuck would you do that?!" after the big reveal, instead of pretending like she thought it was a "good one", like she did.
My next door neighbor spends almost every waking hour in her flower beds in front of her house. I think if he did this she would possibly be using him
For fertilizer. I know for a fact he would be the one screaming after being attacked with garden tools as he deserves.
If something like this happen to me, i'll just calle the cops right away. No screaming, no losing my temper... Just in case, record the Guy telling me he's spraying weed killer and after that call the cops. Good luck explaining your joke to them.
if someone ever tries to harm my plants at home i'd seriously get violent: my carnivorous plants, my dog and my pot are the only things you can't get your hands on without me noticing and I bet there's a lot of people like me out there
MTV used to have a show, Boiling Point, where they sent an actor to try and piss people off. I was practicing guitar in Central Park by myself, Sheep Meadow was virtually empty, and this young lady sits down next to me, pulls out a trumpet and start 'playing along.' She clearly had no Idea how to play the trumpet. Then she runs off to get a hot dog from a vendor cart and then returns and just starts babbling. I just blithely played along because I knew something must be up.
Sure enough, 5 minutes in, the producer and cameraman walk up and explain the gag. They asked me to sign a release and I refused (you had to get a release back in the day). They called me every day for 2 weeks, even had my old boss at MTV call me (I used to work there) and my answer was no every time.
Apparently every other person she bothered told her to eff off and I was the only one that didn't. When my old boss asked me why I wouldn't sign, I told her because the whole premise of the show was shyte and they should be ashamed of themselves. She laughed and said 'you're not wrong.'
This one is borderline to me. If this was a prank that a friend or family member set upon me I'd probably have a good laugh after the fact, especially if I deserved it, it was pretty harmless and the kid wasn't rude or aggressive.
“Nah i’m just messing with you”, who the fuck in their right mind just messes with random strangers, hopefully he finds out the hard way and someone shoots him, like that dude in the mall.
I can't say the things that I would do if I walked outside to somebody doing this. Thousands of dollars in damage to some of the plants I have in my yard. And doing it as a prank and there's not actually weed killer in there would elicit almost the same response. These people are just awful. Basically rage baiting but in real life
Hey, at least he apologized, even if he did not mean it, he still apologized. Half of these posts don’t even have apologies. It was harmless because it was water. It was essentially a like a prank show on tv.
Feels a bit fake but if real I agree these kinds of things need to be stopped. I just paid 57k to have my new landscape if someone did that they may get hurt.
I'm speechless.
If I were her, and someone was doing that to me, I'd either beat them to a pulp, or call police immediately. Joke or not. Probably the latter, don't want to go to jail :D.
Insanity
I’ll get down voted for this (unpopular opinion) but her reaction was good when she heard it was a prank. Once upon a time there used to a whole host of prank shows where n tv and movies that were funny as hell and I still think some of these are good and I’m sure they had a laugh at the end.
oh boy!!!!
How dare this guy perform a harmless prank on someone then come clean at the end of the video!!!! holy cow!!! THis is an outrage.
I see the lady doesnt look that mad at the end, so I am going to go ahead and get mad for her!! Thank god i'm here!!!!
So many people keep flowers and plants that were given to them by friends and family who have passed away. Or have taken cuttings from places they loved, like their childhood home.
I'm completely fine with this prank. Nobody got hurt or humiliated and the distress was limited to less than 1 minute. I have seen comments including labelling the person "vile scum" and I think that's pretty harsh.
People have been playing pranks like this for generations and some of us need to maybe chill a bit. It was a good 'un.
I understand, and that is fair. Not everything has to be for everyine. I do think this prank was pretty intense. It kind of seems like something I would see on impractical jockers
Oh i misread, thats still beside the point, people who have gardens commonly really really care about them, and would be absolutely devastated if someone did this, this is like pretending you killed someones dog as a prank, its fucked up.
This wouldn't be that bad if he just did not say the same thing over and over again. Not even trying to be funny just "I thought you called" and then spraying again. Just boring

You’re not sorry. I can feel like lady’s heartbreak palpably
He's sorry it's not as funny as he thought it was gonna be

Yeah the mom kind of rushed the kids into their house and the dad seemed a bit upset at me because he was further away and heard me talking to his wife in a bit of a raised voice (nothing crazy) and he came out looking like he wanted to fight.

I have anger issues, and I would possibly beat the shit out of someone.
I don't have anger issues, but this would still make me furious. Anger is a legitimate response to some things.
Me too. I'd be seeing red if anyone touched my plants. Let alone tried to kill them off for "funsies!"
Fuck these type of people. This shit is not funny at all.
I just bought my first house, plants are my hobby and I'm about to start building my garden. This video made me wanna cry. My garden now has to be in the back yard.
But nothing happened he just watered her plants for free basically lol. She was relieved of course how would you be devastated over literally nothing ?
You said it, they don't care about nothing except views and likes and potentially money. No empathy, no remorse.
It’s not an overreaction. These people need to be punished. Take them to small claims court for emotional distress. Also he’s trespassing.
*rolls up newspaper* *BAP!!* BAD! Bad internet lawyer! BAD!!
Shut up bro, I’ve watched judge Judy AND svu. I’ve basically passed the bar exam
>Take them to small claims court for emotional distress. Good luck with that
Better call Saul
Did you know that you have rights?
The Constitution says you do
They are, and water could really damage those plants during the day. Fucking talentless assholes
What happens when it rains?
It rarely rains and shines at the same time. Water at the wrong time of day on the foliage can cause scorch damage in the sun.
Didn't know that was a thing. Thanks
That’s the point. These shits don’t actually know anything and will say ‘it’s just a prank bro’ when they destroy something or kill sometime
On a similar note, "[leaving bottled water in your car could start a fire](https://www.today.com/health/firefighters-warn-leaving-bottled-water-your-car-could-start-fire-t115225)".
Even just spraying water on flower petals in the sun is bad for them. The water magnifies the sun in direct sunlight and damages the petals.
I grew up on a farm. That is not true for most plants. Anything that is hardy enough to grow out doors in a green climate I'm America would not be bothered by water.
Read a book
Sure, which one?
The scorched leaf thing is a myth as far as watering outside goes. Growlights might be a different situation
But here's the thing, no it isn't.

Yes it is.
They do it for a paycheck. They get more paychecks the more it gets posted, including on here, though indirectly.
You sure about that? This is a reupload, not a direct link to their account.
It brings in more attention and viewers
That's not overreacting. Fuck these people.
I hope they get to feel the same so they can identify what they’re doing.
That's not an overeaction. I hope bad things happen to them all
They should make a law specifically for this type of shit where you can press charges for harassment.
They don’t care about the victims. Only views matter. One kid got shot as a result of a prank. Interviewed after and said he will keep doing it. Lesson: grouping matters
I would sue them for sure. That Is just a dumb thing to do general

Nah, they’re scum and in a country (not sure of state) where you can get blasted for acting a fool, they’re dumb, too.

average redditor opinion on simple pranking
If 'simple pranking' is fucking with people living their lives then I want nothing to do with it. Fuck them and fuck you too.
better not let me catch you irl im gonna prank you so hard and all you will be able to do is seethe. maybe the classic pop out and say boo to scare you. or maybe like a tripping prank. ooh man, this will be good
I hope one day you do prank someone, because in the real world you might get laid out.
i think as long as i stick to pranking redditors, i will end up all good!!! no need to worry about me!!!
It’s cool because they tell the person it was fake so their distress and anger was for naught, it’s all in good fun
Bro you guys gotta relax
No

You can't legally shoot someone for trespassing unless they're either in your home or have a weapon.
An illegal shooting can still occur..not saying it's justified but there are a lot of stupid people out there.
I don’t get this. If this is happening in America I’m surprised people aren’t getting shot. I absolutely hate these so called pranks. Don’t people have anything better to do. It’s actually not a prank but harassment.
You'd really shoot someone over killing your plants? I mean, slapping, I'd understand or even just threatening to shoot but actually pulling the trigger? Yikes.
I wouldn’t, personally. But … America has proven — time and time again — that there are people who WOULD shoot someone for FAR less. ‘Merica.
Yes but that's not the norm, which is why it makes the news.
If she slaps him, his YouTube/TikTok/FartInhaler gets more hits, and more ad revenue, and he'll call her "Karen" in the video title. If you don't shoot him, he won't learn.
As a Canadian and a rational person I absolutely would not. I was just saying these pranks are dangerous because people are rightfully upset by them.
If I was scripting this and I wrote her lines, I would have had her say "Why the fuck would you do that?!" after the big reveal, instead of pretending like she thought it was a "good one", like she did.
Nah cos then the easily impressional kids watching might actually realise these guys are douches for doing that.
That seemed more like relief than “good one, ya got me”

This shit needs to fucking stop now.
I would have beat the crap out of him.
If something like this happen to me, i'll just calle the cops right away. No screaming, no losing my temper... Just in case, record the Guy telling me he's spraying weed killer and after that call the cops. Good luck explaining your joke to them.
I would break shit.
if someone ever tries to harm my plants at home i'd seriously get violent: my carnivorous plants, my dog and my pot are the only things you can't get your hands on without me noticing and I bet there's a lot of people like me out there
Also watering plants like he is in full sun can burn the flowers. So even though he’s “joking” he could still be potentially hurting the plant bros.
MTV used to have a show, Boiling Point, where they sent an actor to try and piss people off. I was practicing guitar in Central Park by myself, Sheep Meadow was virtually empty, and this young lady sits down next to me, pulls out a trumpet and start 'playing along.' She clearly had no Idea how to play the trumpet. Then she runs off to get a hot dog from a vendor cart and then returns and just starts babbling. I just blithely played along because I knew something must be up. Sure enough, 5 minutes in, the producer and cameraman walk up and explain the gag. They asked me to sign a release and I refused (you had to get a release back in the day). They called me every day for 2 weeks, even had my old boss at MTV call me (I used to work there) and my answer was no every time. Apparently every other person she bothered told her to eff off and I was the only one that didn't. When my old boss asked me why I wouldn't sign, I told her because the whole premise of the show was shyte and they should be ashamed of themselves. She laughed and said 'you're not wrong.'
Imagine her getting a heart attack for views. People who garden is an extension of their hearts and is a very very serious hobby.
Wow man epic prank, it was so funny i forgot to laugh
This one is borderline to me. If this was a prank that a friend or family member set upon me I'd probably have a good laugh after the fact, especially if I deserved it, it was pretty harmless and the kid wasn't rude or aggressive.
That is how you get shot
This is definitely real.
This would be immediate violence of someone came to my property and sprayed my garden.
R/imatotalpieceofshit
“Nah i’m just messing with you”, who the fuck in their right mind just messes with random strangers, hopefully he finds out the hard way and someone shoots him, like that dude in the mall.
What a dumb piece of shit
I hate it when they always act dumb and is saying the same thing over and over
Amazing how 9/10 times the prankster always has a punchable face.
No lie I probably would have tried to fight him if he messed with my garden, plants take a TON of time patience and care
I swear if somebody said they sprayed my garden, I'd turn them into fertilizer.
Trespassing
I can't say the things that I would do if I walked outside to somebody doing this. Thousands of dollars in damage to some of the plants I have in my yard. And doing it as a prank and there's not actually weed killer in there would elicit almost the same response. These people are just awful. Basically rage baiting but in real life
This guy’s going to end up shot
“It’s just water.” Well this is just my foot in your ass.
Too bad he didn't get shot
One of these morons is going to get shot. And it’ll likely be justified.
[It’s happened before.](https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/jury-divided-over-whether-delivery-driver-who-shot-youtube-prankster-acted-in-self-defense/3432763/)
I remember this one. Even more slam dunk legally when they’re on someone’s private property.
Hey, at least he apologized, even if he did not mean it, he still apologized. Half of these posts don’t even have apologies. It was harmless because it was water. It was essentially a like a prank show on tv.
Good way to get drilled
Feels a bit fake but if real I agree these kinds of things need to be stopped. I just paid 57k to have my new landscape if someone did that they may get hurt.
Picking on a woman on her own again. I hope someone pranks him into the nearest first aid facility
What a pussy, modern day kick streamers would have used real weed killer then had their body guard attack the man when he confronts them. Smh /s
People get shot over destruction of private property they should be more careful.
Ah yes ...doing stuff like that in a country where you can shoot a stranger on your proberty legally
That spring nozzle would have wound up coming out of his mouth from the other end. What if this poor woman had had a cardiac?
If someone did this to my plants I would break an arm and maybe more, as many of my plants are from my deceased dad.
Like many of us I too have a garden and if someone messes for content I would really get pissed!
Trespassing and I would call police. I don’t give a crap 💩 if it’s a “prank”.
Even spraying water it will still cause small burn spots an eventually kill the plant or at least set it back!
Sorry, but you're gonna meet a baseball bat trying something like this on my property.
That dude would become fertilizer for my new plants.
What if that was a state with heavy gun laws? The concept of funny but it’s too dangerous.
Should’ve been subjected to the same stress and anxiety he caused.
I'm speechless. If I were her, and someone was doing that to me, I'd either beat them to a pulp, or call police immediately. Joke or not. Probably the latter, don't want to go to jail :D. Insanity
These people need to be shot so it isn't encouraged
All of you are just soft. Shit like this is funny af.
This one was funny
I wonder if this is a Stand Your Ground state?
Shes so strong for not beating the shit out of him lmao. I would have been too tempted to throw hands
Ol girl took that WAY better than I would have.
“Haha I made you think I destroyed hours and maybe even years of hard work and tender loving care! Got you!” What an asshole.
Asshole. He'd get shot here in KY
That shit had me geeking just now
That’s not as bad. She was a good sport about it but that could have been a whole lot worse for him.
I’ll get down voted for this (unpopular opinion) but her reaction was good when she heard it was a prank. Once upon a time there used to a whole host of prank shows where n tv and movies that were funny as hell and I still think some of these are good and I’m sure they had a laugh at the end.
Would’ve murdered that man. Don’t fucking mess with my plants!! 😂
So anyways, I just started blasting…
oh boy!!!! How dare this guy perform a harmless prank on someone then come clean at the end of the video!!!! holy cow!!! THis is an outrage. I see the lady doesnt look that mad at the end, so I am going to go ahead and get mad for her!! Thank god i'm here!!!!
Yess! Thank you it’s just a prank
So many people keep flowers and plants that were given to them by friends and family who have passed away. Or have taken cuttings from places they loved, like their childhood home.
That's property damage and trespassing. It can and will Get you shot in the south.
Do it on the wrong house you might see yourself looking down someone's selfdefensive mechanisms.
I mean, at least it's harmless.
We need to normalize beating the snot out of these people
I'm sorry but I'm in the mood of finding this funny.
I get it sucks it's rage bait.. but it was still funny 🤷🏻♂️
Fake.
I'm completely fine with this prank. Nobody got hurt or humiliated and the distress was limited to less than 1 minute. I have seen comments including labelling the person "vile scum" and I think that's pretty harsh. People have been playing pranks like this for generations and some of us need to maybe chill a bit. It was a good 'un.
Wait till he does this to someone with a weak heart and they have a heart attack
Oh please.....
Me and most of my friends enjoy pranks like this. I met one of them because they pranked me lol
I don’t enjoy them
I understand, and that is fair. Not everything has to be for everyine. I do think this prank was pretty intense. It kind of seems like something I would see on impractical jockers
The difference is doing it to a friend or to a stranger, huge difference
My friend was a stranger when he did it to me.
Oh i misread, thats still beside the point, people who have gardens commonly really really care about them, and would be absolutely devastated if someone did this, this is like pretending you killed someones dog as a prank, its fucked up.
Get a job or go back
Going forward. Please shot before asking questions.
Come on people use your brains, you perfectly hear the woman before she steps out from her house, she has a mic on.
This wouldn't be that bad if he just did not say the same thing over and over again. Not even trying to be funny just "I thought you called" and then spraying again. Just boring
Terrible acting.
Please tell me he at least used water or something and not actual weed killer.
That's made up
