When friend groups struggle with cross-cultural physical humor

Our international friend group does these elaborate prank wars and practical jokes, but what's hilarious in one person's culture is deeply insulting in another's, and we keep accidentally hurting each other's feelings. We want to keep playing but we're all walking on eggshells now.

More people experience this than they realize.
