Person 1 is sat on the sofa feeling ill.

Person 2 walks in with mug of coffee and trips, pretending to throw coffee over person 1. Cup is actually empty and it’s a practical joke.

Person 1 very annoyed and doesn’t find this funny.

Person 2 cannot understand why person 1 would be annoyed and thinks they are unreasonable for overreacting to a joke.

Vote YABU if it is funny and person 1 should not overreact.

Vote YANBU if it is not funny and person 2 is being a dick.

Nothing is funny when you are ill.....

It's not particularly funny at any time, but definitely not when someone is ill. I'd think up something diabolical and have my revenge. Or possibly just do something not very clever but merely petty, like hiding their slippers of pajamas...

*or pyjamas...

Is the an involved normally childish or can you forgive as a one off lapse

I guess if you are ill you are not likely to have your sense of humour tuned.So yes, it would be annoying.

it’s not particularly funny but neither is it so annoying I’d give it a second thought never mind have to consult mumsnet over it

You beat me to it. It’s a bit of a non event tbh.

It wouldn't make me laugh but it wouldn't make me very annoyed either.
