This is one of those questions that tells you way more about someone than you’d expect. Some people answer instantly. Others say, “I could never do that.” And then you see them five minutes later mumbling someone’s name under their breath.

For me, it’s the person who replies-all to an office-wide email with a thumbs-up. Or the one who loudly brags about their third vacation this month. Or maybe that friend who says “we should totally hang out!” but disappears when it’s time to actually make plans.
It’s less about harm, more about catharsis. A tiny electric exorcism of everyday frustration.
And I swear, it’s all in good fun. Probably.
