A TikToker is getting backlash after pulling a very cruel "prank" on passers-by, which involved him dumping coffee over a balcony onto a stranger and then sprinting away so he wouldn't get caught.

The TikTok, posted by @chrisboat, was taken at a Target in Stamford, Connecticut. He runs away before we can see if the coffee connected with any of the patrons he aimed it at.

Fellow TikTokers were absolutely not amused.

Coffee stains clothes, smells and comes in several different temperatures, all of which are incredibly unpleasant to come into contact with on your bare skin.

The original poster, or OP, did qualify the coffee he found was "cold old coffee" from a stranger he found laying around the Target. So though it was old, at least it wasn't scaldingly hot.

"I maybe would've laughed if it was water, but that's ruining their shoes and clothes," wrote one person.

"Water dries and comes off... coffee stains are really hard [to get] out and you ruined that person's clothes," said another.

We may never know exactly what happened to the people who got hit by the coffee, but we can assume it was probably very unpleasant.

Hopefully nobody else on TikTok gets the urge to do this.
