Someone decided to prank the people of San Francisco – by printing and pasting stickers of Apple AirPods at various places. Many fell for the prank and stopped to pick up what they thought was a fallen AirPod.
This guy decided to print lots of AirPod stickers and stick them at various places to see how people responded to this.
Some years back, there was a similar fake electrical outlet at airport prank which had also gone viral.
Some thought that this was a nasty little prank to pull.
People also conjectured whether the aim of the prank was just to watch people bend over.
It couldn’t have been nice for those who got taken in by the prank, thought some of the tweeple.
Many decided that if they saw just one AirPod they wouldn’t be interested. I agree; I wouldn’t be interested in just one of a pair either.
For reasons of hygiene!
Good question.
So what happened?
Many of the tweeple wanted to know what the results of the AirPod sticker prank were.
Some people ignored the stickers, others stopped to check them out. Some even took a video.
Some were really amused at the prank idea and how it panned out. They also wanted to print out their own stickers and prank others.
They thought this was just littering and that this would create a lot of work for some people.
This Twitter user shared their story of finding actual, real AirPods and not knowing what to do with them.
Apart from the littering issue with the stickers, people also have problems with the actual AirPods themselves.
On Twitter, we can always be sure of encountering comments about serious issues – even when the issue at hand is something as silly as a prank involving AirPod stickers.
