Prank Safety

At Fun Size Moments, the goal is simple: create laughter, connection and memorable moments. But not every prank is right for every person or situation. Before using any prank product, take a moment to think about the environment, the people involved, and the possible outcomes.

A good prank should leave everyone laughing afterwards, not embarrassed, distressed, injured, or dealing with workplace or personal consequences.

If the Prank Involves a Workplace

Workplaces can have different expectations around humour, conduct and professionalism. Before using a prank product at work, consider whether it is appropriate for the environment and the people involved.

Things to think about:

  • Check with a manager or supervisor if you are unsure whether workplace pranks are acceptable.
  • Consider whether the prank could impact your professional reputation or future career opportunities.
  • Think about how the other person may genuinely react, not just how you expect them to react.
  • Consider whether the prank could interrupt work, create safety issues, or make others uncomfortable.
  • Ask yourself: would they find this funny too?

Consider Someone’s Physical, Emotional and Mental Wellbeing

Even harmless-looking pranks can cause unexpected reactions depending on a person’s health, stress levels or emotional state.

Before using a prank product, consider whether the person may be:

  • Pregnant
  • Living with a heart condition
  • Living with asthma or breathing-related conditions
  • Easily startled or physically vulnerable
  • Experiencing stress, anxiety, grief or emotional overwhelm
  • Processing personal or workplace issues

If there is any doubt that a prank could negatively affect someone’s physical or emotional wellbeing, it is best not to proceed.

Consider Your Relationship With the Person

The same prank can be hilarious between close friends and completely inappropriate between acquaintances or strained relationships.

Before proceeding, think about:

  • Whether your relationship with the person is currently positive and stable
  • Whether there is existing tension, conflict or unresolved issues
  • Whether you know the person well enough to understand their sense of humour
  • Whether they would feel comfortable telling you honestly if they disliked the prank

A good rule of thumb: if you are unsure how someone will react, or whether they would openly communicate discomfort, reconsider the prank.

Consider the Environment

Before carrying out a prank, think carefully about the surrounding environment and whether a startled reaction could create a safety risk.

Even a harmless prank can become dangerous if someone suddenly jumps, trips, drops something, or runs unexpectedly.

Consider whether the area contains:

  • Sharp or breakable objects such as knives, plates, glassware or tools
  • Stairs, slippery surfaces, tight walkways or trip hazards
  • Doors, corners, furniture or other obstacles
  • Hot food, hot drinks or cooking equipment
  • Moving vehicles, machinery or workplace equipment
  • Other people who could accidentally be injured during a reaction

Also consider how the person may physically respond if startled. Some people may instinctively jump backwards, swing their arms, drop items, or move quickly without awareness of their surroundings.

If there is any reasonable chance that a prank could lead to injury, property damage, or an unsafe situation, it should not proceed.

Keep It Safe and Respectful

Prank products should never be used to:

  • Cause physical harm or injury
  • Frighten vulnerable individuals
  • Damage property
  • Bully, harass or humiliate others
  • Create unsafe situations while driving, operating equipment, or performing work tasks

Always use common sense and prioritise safety, respect and consent.
