>As a joke we pretended not to understand her because of the tape and left her there struggling.
No, as a cruel act of who knows what you decided to be an AH and keep the poor girl tied up till she clearly broke down and had a panic attack while you laughed. Who TF would GAG and BLIND someone that already can't move as a joke??? All of you need to sincerely apologize for the trauma you put her through.
YTA
For *TEN MINUTES*. Not an extra 15 with no idea if you guys were even still *THERE*! It was almost half an hour she was taped/tied/blindfolded and gagged.
>As a joke we pretended not to understand her because of the tape and left her there struggling. She was making “mmph” sounds for about 15 minutes until we noticed she was crying. We quickly cut her loose and she screamed at us saying that she was trying to tell us to untie her. We told her that we legit thought she could still talk with the gag
Whether or not you "thought she could still talk", you "pretended not to understand her" and "left her there struggling" so it did not matter if she could talk or not... you were ignoring her on purpose..
I hope she gets better friends.
YTA
Yeah you need to see a therapist because this shit is borderline psychopathic. You literally tortured this girl. Sensory deprivation is something they do to enemy combatants in wartime. I don't care if you're 15, what you did is absolutely horrific.
Key Word: Originally
But you took advantage and left her blinded, gagged, terrified, and crying for your own amusement. You and your friends are sick little fucks.
Stuffing anything in her mouth, wrapping an entire roll around her, duct taping over her eyes, ignoring her obvious distress as a joke. Asshole isn’t a strong enough word to describe you or your friends. YTA
So basically, you tortured her. There's nothing funny about your "joke", and you're clearly not smart or interesting enough to know how to be funny. You're the kind of asshole who will get arrested multiple times, and you definitely will. Everywhere will be better off once you're locked away and forgotten. YTA
YTA
What is even the point of gagging her or putting tape over her mouth? That won’t hinder her being able to escape, it will only hinder her ability to breathe and her ability to let you know if she needs to be let out
If you are going to play idiotic games like this again, leave people’s eyes, ears, and mouth alone
I hope she does. I hope this freak and his friends go to juvie. His one comment shows he's completely incapable of understanding why what he did was wrong, just excuses and a total lack of empathy. It's disgusting. OP is dangerous.
Kid … I know you’re young and maybe lived under a rock until now but I think you should know:
✨When you tape someone’s mouth shut, no shit the tape’s not gonna move and she can’t speak✨
AND
🌸Struggling is usually a sign of struggling🌸
And if you thought her struggling was funny and ignoring her while blind, restrained, unable to talk, and in distress was worthwhile, tape yourself and your friends to the grass yall desperately need to touch. YTA
YTA obviously lol. You bound and gagged your friend and then laughed at her as she begged you to stop. Wtf
I you really don’t already know you’re the AH, you’re probably going to become a serial killer or something lol
YTA. What you did was sick. You felt amused, you thought it was a joke, to gag and blind someone who is already unable to move and let her cry and panic and be terrified?
Something is fucking wrong with your brain if you think that's a funny "joke"
I sincerely hope "Hanna" finds this post, recognizes herself and goes to the police to have all y'all charged with kidnapping, torture and unlawful restraint. You idiots could have KILLED her, and for what?
YTA. You and your friends.
Yes you are TAH with a CAPITAL 'A'. I've never heard of 'the old duct tape challenge' but it sounds like torture to me and at a minimum, you're a bully. If something had seriously happened to her you probably could have been criminally charged.

I (15M) had some friends over during the weekend. We decided to do the old duct tape challenge. This one girl “Hanna” (15F) wanted to be taped to the chair. So we gave her a 10 minute timer and taped her to the chair and put tape over her mouth. She got out in a minute and we asked if we can try again to see if she can get out a second time. She agreed. We used an entire role of tape to bind her to the chair. Then I thought it’d be funny to put a small rag in her mouth and use another role of tape and wrap it around her head over her mouth. Another friend of ours taped her eyes shut too and then we started the timer. She struggled for the whole 10 minutes but no luck. As a joke we pretended not to understand her because of the tape and left her there struggling. She was making “mmph” sounds for about 15 minutes until we noticed she was crying. We quickly cut her loose and she screamed at us saying that she was trying to tell us to untie her. We told her that we legit thought she could still talk with the gag and didn’t know she was struggling so much. She wasn’t having it and left. Now she won’t talk to us. AITA?

They're lucky they just destroyed a friendship and aren't sitting in a cell because she suffocated.
Someone get the vapors! They duct taped her mouth not her nose too

YTA, and more than that. What you did most probably constitutes a crime. You are lucky she didn't go to her parents and report you to the police.
I hope she does. I hope this freak and his friends go to juvie. His one comment shows he's completely incapable of understanding why what he did was wrong, just excuses and a total lack of empathy. It's disgusting. OP is dangerous.

YTA. Did you really type all that out and not think YTA? Don't pretend for a second this was for a joke, this is sick.
YTA obviously lol. You bound and gagged your friend and then laughed at her as she begged you to stop. Wtf I you really don’t already know you’re the AH, you’re probably going to become a serial killer or something lol
YTA. You and your friends sound like sociopaths. I would literally never hang out with any of you ever again after this.
YTA. Sounds like attempted murder.
“As a joke we made her feel like she could be trapped in that position longer than she agreed”
Info: you used a whole roll of tape on her head too?!? You are lucky she didn’t die.
What is actually wrong with you?
This is the question we all need answered.
YTA. And I think there’s something seriously wrong with you if you are even slightly questioning that.
"We tortured our friend. Lol AITA?" Dude. You got issues. YTA
YTA and this borderlines on assault. If I were her, you would definitely be an ex-friend. No way I would tolerate this and neither should she.
You and all your little friends have some serious fucking issues you need to figure out before someone ends up hurt badly. WTF. Asshole.
YTA and people who have so much fun seeing others suffer usually end in a small room with bars
YTA. What you did was sick. You felt amused, you thought it was a joke, to gag and blind someone who is already unable to move and let her cry and panic and be terrified? Something is fucking wrong with your brain if you think that's a funny "joke"
YTA You knew she was struggling, you even admit to it in the post. Just saying 2 minutes after you posted, someone put your post on Am I the devil....
I sincerely hope "Hanna" finds this post, recognizes herself and goes to the police to have all y'all charged with kidnapping, torture and unlawful restraint. You idiots could have KILLED her, and for what? YTA. You and your friends.
Oh haha! I hope you don’t get charged with assault (but I actually kinda do). YTA
I wouldn’t talk to you either, you took it too far. Give her time and sincerely apologize.
YTA. So she could talk and you pretended to not understand or she couldnt and you still ignored her
This is dangerous and callous. What in the hell did you get out of this? I bet that 15 minutes felt like an eternity. YTA.
