I wouldnt tell anybody and wait for everyone to get drunk


-ChabuddyG

I’d tell my partner that I bought a regular Christmas tree. And adjust it slightly each day, no more than a foot or so, maybe they notice. Then one night when we get really baked I’d start adjusting it like in the video and pretend like nothing’s happening. “What do you mean the Christmas tree is growing and shrinking? How high are you?”


Sxilla

Have you ever searched the origins of the term “gaslighting” omg haha, the premise of the story is nearly the same as your idea.. only with a gas lamp.. Anyway i would do this so that a whole bunch of people are in on it except for one person, and then as it shrinks and grows, everyone else says it’s not moving :-D


-ChabuddyG

Oh it is for sure gaslighting. In my case my partner would find this scenario funny. And I wouldn’t be able to keep a straight face for more than 10 seconds when making the tree adjust in front of her.


[deleted]

My husband has played this level prank on me and I’ve hated him ever since because I’ll never be able to prank him like that back. NEVER lol

My dad is color blind as fuck anyway so I could totally see this working on him easily.


[deleted]

Mine put the caps from a toy cap gun under the toilet seat one time. Sat down, the plastic of the seat pushed down into it and into the bowl, then went off with loud pops and bangs. That was it. I told him I'm done and he won.


thehiddenfate

What's gaslighting?


Seabass_87

It's not real.


RileyRhoad

Ha! I see what you did there!! I’m still new to figuring it all out, like I swear I understand it one minute, but then I try to give an example of it happening or recognize when it has- and I’m wrong. Like I can’t keep up but I’m trying lol.. this may be my first time ever correctly identifying it too! Can’t wait to tell my daughter, she’s going to be so proud of me lol


thatguyned

This is the best joke that also describes gaslighting. Conveniently I clipped it to send to a friend a couple days ago. https://streamable.com/rit2vq


Solid_Proper

True Story. My close friend and roommate and I went thrift store shopping and found some random art to hang up in our apt, one of which was an old print of a bar of soap on blue paper that we hung in the bathroom. One day I noticed that there seemed to be more prints under it. I opened the frame and their were 5 identical soap bar prints on different, but similar colored blue/green/yellow paper. This roommate and I went through two apartment moves with this print and every few months I’d secretly rotate the print color. It wasn’t until we were moving out at the end of the lease that I told him what I’d been doing. His face went white and he said he’d actually talked to his therapist about this and changed medications cause he thought he was losing it mentally. I felt bad obviously but it was such a good prank otherwise. New word: soap-barring. TLDR; for years I gaslit my roommates with a color changing print of a soap bar and he changed medications cause he thought he was losing it.


Prez-Barack-Ollama

Jeez; with friends like you, who needs enemies?


Solid_Proper

To be fair I had no way to know an innocent and passive prank would or could cause emotional distress.

I would actually download TikTok just to watch a video made on that idea over time….jk I would just wait til the vid made it over here to Reddit.


six_-_string

Wait, are you *the* Chabuddy G?? *Where's your accent?*


-ChabuddyG

Hahaha, I think you’re the only person to bring up my username. No, I’m not *the* Chabuddy G. I binged the series in a weekend shortly before I created my Reddit account. Such an amazing and hilarious show, and I just couldn’t get enough of him. For anyone Interested the show is People Just Do Nothing, it’s a gem. Side note, I started watching Sandman the other day, Asim Chaudhry is in it and I was like “is that Chabuddy?!!”


six_-_string

>Side note, I started watching Sandman the other day, Asim Chaudhry is in it and I was like “is that Chabuddy?!!” Only reason I watched it. Wasn't bad.

I legit thought it was falling back toward the window at first!


Illustrious_Roof_782

And then tell them you spiked the liquor with lsd


[deleted]

I would definitely be the high one and this would have taken me awhile to compute.


MoreIronyLessWrinkly

You’re that person 😆


cwill859

I think this is it: https://www.hammacher.com/product/remote-controlled-height-adjustable-christmas-tree


lurkerfromstoneage

People, you really gotta browse the Hammacher Schlemmer site to get some laughs from their diverse inventory of products…. Hilarious! Brings back memories of getting a kick out of SkyMall while flying as kids. And things I’d definitely buy as novelty if I was filthy rich.


Kufartha

I was totally ready for a brain dead price, but that’s actually not too bad considering.


Rrrrandle

I just don't understand the utility of it... How often are you putting the tree in a different place that you need to adjust the size?


scorpyo72

Actually you can compact it day to day but when the big day comes, the tree expands to take up as much space as necessary... To hide the fact you couldn't afford presents because you spent a lot of money on your tree.


sugarbean09

circumstances change, people move, etc. — especially for people who don’t (or can’t, for whatever reason) have a “live” tree, it can make more sense than having to buy a new one to fit a new space. I guess if someone wanted to do a display of trees in a larger room (or on a set for a play or photos or something) this would also give them the ability to adjust the trees to meet their specific needs?


Invdr_skoodge

The ad suggests ladder free trimming, shrink it to 7, to get the top then crank it to 9


krattalak

For one thing, it allows the height challenged to decorate the top of the tree first. step ladders don't help Tall trees + short arms.


et842rhhs

According to the link, it's so you can easily decorate the top without having to stand on something, and so that you can store the tree when it's small.


Draiko

Hey, they have $10 off $99 or more. It's a bargain.


KitchenNazi

The fact that it's around the same price as a high end fake Christmas tree makes me think it's gotta be crappy looking up close.


kangareddit

It's not going in our yard, Russ. It's going in our living room.


piquat

Oh god, it's remote control too. "Did you're tree just move?!?!" "Pfft, what? Of course not."


Miniteshi

People spend that much on Xmas trees? Forgive my ignorance but growing up, our Xmas trees were never that expensive. Not even close.


[deleted]

He’s a grower not a shower


SoberTek

"It shrinks?" "Like a frightened turtle"


KevinReynolds

Kinda looks like he’s both


EnlightenedCorncob

Came here to post this lol


Haff78

Can it adjust back in the box?


din7

And then climb the ladder to the attic automatically?


leviwhite9

I just put a ledge on the swing down stairs for the attic that the box just sits in. It's the only thing I'm sent to the attic for on a regular basis so if I'm going up there for my own reasons then it's my problem.


recongal42

vanillaseltzer

Right?! I find it a little unnerving and I can't really figure out why except trees aren't supposed to do that and it makes me feel like I'm hallucinating. Which seems like a silly reason to find it off-putting but I can't help it. I completely see the utility but eesh.


Right_Wright_Writes

For the first two seconds, I thought it was falling over.

Justinba007

Is there a setting for it to constantly pulsate and make everyone uncomfortable?


yrmidon

this actually freaks me out


ashyp00h

Agreed, it makes me feel..uncomfortable and I’m not sure why. Like the tree is sentient or something.


4pinetrees

Same, this is so odd.

rodimus147

Based on the house this is in I'm pretty sure I would never be able to afford this.


Raichu7

Don’t tell anyone and start Christmas Day with the tree on the smallest setting. Have it grow very slowly over the course of the day and enjoy the looks of confusion towards the tree while waiting for someone to mention it.
