Playing a Prank on a Friend

I'm not a fan of getting pranked, and I probably never will be, because most times I tend to overreact to things like this, especially due to how far most of you like to take your pranks. But there have been few pranks that I've seen online that I liked, the kinds that make both parties laugh and don't cause harm to anyone involved.

Well, inasmuch as I don't like getting pranked, there was this one time last year when I played a prank on one of my very close friends.

Sometime last year, my friend and I became increasingly concerned about alcohol and what it does to our kidneys. So we would spend time online, researching symptoms to know if our kidney is healthy or not. And one of the symptoms of an unhealthy kidney had been foamy urine.

What that meant was that if your urine foams often, it probably could mean that your kidney is starting to show signs of it getting damaged. So one day when this friend of mine had visited me at my place, I had secretly gone to my toilet and poured some soap in it, the type that kind of becomes transparent when it hits the water.

After about an hour, my friend decided to go use the bathroom, and as you can imagine, the entire thing became foamy, and I can still remember how terrified he looked when he walked out of that bathroom, almost like he was about to die.

He had told me about his urine, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud while also pretending like I knew nothing about it. He immediately started making plans to go run some tests the next day to know what next step to take, before I eventually told him the truth and we both burst out laughing.

It definitely was a good prank on my end, one I wouldn't mind doing on my other friends.
