We might have thought we'd seen it all with TikTok challenges.
From the water bucket challenge to raise money, to planking on unsafe surfaces, to eating entirely questionable and dangerous items, the range of what people will do for clicks and likes on their profile is apparently unlimited.
The latest TikTok challenge is of the irresponsible variety, as the goal is to literally trespass onto someone's property.
The Trespassing Challenge involves going on to someone's lawn or even inside their home and seeing how comfortable you can get before getting caught or being thrown out.
In a recent video, four young men in the U.K. took on the challenge and approached a family's front gate. Upon letting themselves through the gate, they caught the wife on camera, who was cleaning the front garden. They went up the front porch steps and into the house, followed by the wife's calls to her husband.
The men copied her and called out to the husband, who hurriedly approached them and ushered them out of the house, but not before one of the men sat down on their couch to capture a selfie in their home.

Trespassing is legally wrong, yes, but there are other issues inherent to trespassing that takers of this challenge might not be considering.
First of all, a home is a person's safe space where they believe they can relax, be themselves and only have the people in their home that they've allowed.
Second of all, there are countless people, reported and unreported, who have been abused or assaulted in their lifetime at least once. An interaction like this, whether guised as looking for a study group or not, could bring all of those feelings back and be incredibly triggering.
And as Twitter pointed out, this absolutely would not fly in some homes, especially those located in the U.S.
\u201c@ClownWorld_ These boys would have had a bad day walking into my house like that. Not sure they understand the destruction a shotgun can cause and it\u2019s one of the most popular home defense options where I\u2019m from\u2026\u201d— Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21 (@Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21) 1684363495
\u201c@ClownWorld_ Dear people,\n\nMy house has several pro-2A and law enforcement signs outside of it. Please consider those as you\u2019re planning your prank. I can promise you if you walk into my house uninvited, your little prank is going to go sideways *real fast*. I\u2019m not going to be able to tell\u2026\u201d— Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21 (@Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21) 1684363495
\u201c@ClownWorld_ When I see mass shooting I feel like guns are bad.\n\nWhen I see this I see guns are absolutely necessary.\u201d— Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21 (@Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21) 1684363495
\u201c@ClownWorld_ hi, snacks..\u201d— Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21 (@Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21) 1684363495
\u201c@ClownWorld_ Good way to get shot at my house (in most of my little town, actually). A disabled neighbor was beaten so bad he died in ICU; no arrests yet. \n\nI lock my house when inside and when I\u2019m outside on the property. Nobody is just walking in on me without use of force to enter.\u201d— Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21 (@Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21) 1684363495
\u201c@ClownWorld_ If 4 young men forced their way in to my house, with my children in it, there would be four very dead or seriously injured young men.\u201d— Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21 (@Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21) 1684363495
\u201c@ClownWorld_ Well that's just asking for bodily harm.\u201d— Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21 (@Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21) 1684363495
\u201c@ClownWorld_ I would not recommend that in the south\u2026 its a ask questions after situation..\u201d— Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21 (@Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21) 1684363495
\u201c@AFMBlog @ClownWorld_ I don\u2019t think most Americans would put up with that, if you aren\u2019t met with a gun, it may be a Louisville Slugger or any blunt object. \n\nRemember in an active shooter situation: Run. Hide. FIGHT! \n\nYou don\u2019t know what weapons they have.\u201d— Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21 (@Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21) 1684363495
\u201c@ClownWorld_ One day they will run out of luck. And i wanna see if they'll share the video of them getting man handled.\u201d— Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21 (@Clown World \u2122 \ud83e\udd21) 1684363495
This is hardly the first questionable challenge that's worked its way across social media.
This, however, is likely to be illegal trespass no matter the country. Whoever thought this was a reasonable entertainment choice didn't think this one all the way through.
