It may not have hurt anyone. But a good rule to live by is: If you find yourself considering lying, then you have made some poor choices somewhere along the line. Every time you find yourself wanting to lie, think about it, and you may come to realize this is a solid rule to try to live by.

I'm actually not opposed to lying as part of a prank. The issue I have is lying when the target essentially says "oh, haha, you're pranking me, right?" At that point, the prankster should just say "yep, I got you good, the end."

or if you're committed to the bit, play it coy and deny it in a way that makes it obvious you're lying.

Your grandmother buys you an ugly sweater. Six months later, close to death, she asks you if you like the sweater she got you.
