It was so good because I could be as rotten as I wanted, there was zero lasting harm. He immediately forgave me and found it amazing once he booted up the original drive and made sure it was all good

I did more things like checking a windows install on my laptop first, and cloning his drive off before I pulled it.
We would regularly pull pranks on each other, the rule was it couldn’t cause lasting harm. This fit well within that, and he got me at least as good multiple times. One of my best friends, ever
Um, our relationship? Have you ever had friends where you prank each other? The trust it engenders when you show you can play in that space but still not cause any lasting harm pulls people closer. At least it has in my experience. He’s one of my best friends ever
If someone who I considered a friend pulled that kind of stunt with me I would have one fewer friend. Screwing with people is rude and it’s plain bully behavior when you know they’re stressed and you mess around with a thing that is cruicial for them. You had fun at someone else’s expense.
That prank is so mischievous.
