Example. It’s around my birthday and I receive a knock on the door. (In the 90s this was still normal). I open it to find a lady with a bunch of pizza boxes , at least 10, asking for payment. I quietly go in circles with her that i didn’t order and thus payment, from me, isn’t happening. Then she bursts into song. A paid prank from a friend.
Judge it as you will. No one is touched. No one is hurt. Friend got a good laugh. I’d call it a neutral experience. I don’t understand why you’d spend money on such things, but there it is.
A prank isn’t physical.

A prank. The story OP posted is about an assault.
