An NHL fan has cruelly pranked his partner while attending a New York Islanders game at the Nassau Coliseum in New York.
The cheeky fan was picked out on the stadium's big screen, with the expectation he would give his partner a kiss for the whole crowd to see.
However this fan was intent on turning the whole procedure up a notch. After kissing his partner, he stood up from the seat and dug his hand into his pocket, as if he had a special gift to present to her. With the whole crowd's complete attention, and his partner holding her face in excitement, he got down on his knee – and tied his shoelace.
The prank left the packed crowd in hysterics, and his partner stunned.
Watch it unfold below.
It also quickly went viral on social media, with thousands of retweets on social media and many onlookers commenting that the man might be in a fair bit of trouble with his partner.
