Is the "three man deadlift" prank normal in the UK?

I wouldn't say it's normal but it's not as heinous as people on here are making out. Reddit is full of socially awkward nerds who've never been out in the real world and met different people, the guys saying this is sexual assault are a bunch of pussies. When I did some work on a building site years ago some lad had held a bag of cement over his head for a few seconds and said "fucking hell burns your shoulders quick that, a lad who could do it for over 30 seconds" or something along those lines so another lad piped up saying it'd be easy blah blah blah give me a go sort of thing. Anyways, he holds it up above his head and the other lads slashes it underneath with a Stanley, bag pops covers him in cement. Now I'm not saying you should cover your colleagues in cement but if you posted it here people would be saying it's assault with a chemical weapon or something. The lad was shocked joined in on the laugh and his payback was probably something like wiping his cock on the guys bacon sarnie. It's definitely a specific groups sorta thing and if you'd have swung for him after I wouldn't have blamed you but they weren't trying to rape you, they were genuinely involving you in their weird little group. Next time you see him buy him a pint you've pissed in or something lol.
