A Prank, A Panic and A Pet’s Demise: Who’s Really to Blame? ♀️
An innocent sleepover turned into a nightmare for a bug-phobic teen, who found herself at the center of a friendship feud after a prank went horribly wrong. Cassidy and Mia, the teen’s friends, decided to exploit her fear of bugs by placing Cassidy’s pet praying mantis on her leg while she slept. The prank ended in disaster when the terrified teen crushed the mantis in her panic. Now, she’s being asked to pay $100 for the mantis she inadvertently killed. But is she really to blame, or should the friends who knew about her fear and pulled the prank bear the responsibility? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this bug-sized dilemma.
