In the course of my interactions with my friends at work, I've come to be tricked into (a harmless) buying a few cups of drink for them. Which also confirmed my initial thoughts that it was an attempt at a prank.
Though no offense was taken at having to buy stuff like this (I'd have gladly bought for them even under normal circumstances), the way it was carried out did change the trust model somewhat: not broken nor even damaged, but changed somewhat.
I don't know what it has become now, but I'm guessing it might be that I'll be more wary/sceptical in the future.
The wrong stance to take? Or just simply learning/forgiving and moving on?
