This isn't hazing, is a father son joke. People thinking this is hazing is my point.

Hazing: " The imposition of strenuous, often humiliating, tasks as part of a program of rigorous physical training and initiation. "army cadets were hospitalized for injuries caused by hazing" humiliating and sometimes dangerous initiation rituals, especially as imposed on college students seeking membership to a fraternity or sorority. "seven officers of the fraternity were charged with hazing" "

Walking to a store for paint that doesn't exist does not align with the severity described in the definition from Oxford languages. OP experienced a prank.

I'm not a boomer.

Yes 'it's just a prank' that magic excuse which works 100% of the time at convincing no one.

I'm not playing semantics, what I'm saying is that this type of behavior however you label it is often harmful in a number of ways.

You disagree and that's why I likened you to the boomers who used to say 'I was beaten and it never did me any harm' society will continue to improve and one day people will look back and say 'wow watching old media is hard, they're all such needless assholes, no wonder they were always having so many proplems'

Being sent to walk to the store is not a beating. It is not hazing.

Not being able to take a harmless prank (yes I mean harmless. Walking to a store and asking an employee for a product that does not exist is not harm) is fragility.
