Messing with complete strangers is such fun

Two just came to mind.

In a grocery line, I told a cashier I wasn't going to pay for the 2 12-packs of sodas under my cart because I was practicing shoplifting, but I am not very good at it. She stared at me for about 10 seconds not knowing how to respond.

At work my coworkers bought me Brokeback Mountain as a secret Santa gift (inside joke). They also gave me the receipt. When i returned it to BestBuy, she asked me if there was anything wrong. I said [lisp]I am waiting for the unrated version to come out GIRL[/lisp] and gave her a little wink. I could actually HEAR how uncomfortable she was.

I know I am not the only one who derives pleasure out of this, right?

Bareback Mountain was better.

I have gotten on to a crowed elevator, let the doors shut and not turn to face the door. make people uncomfortable. Twice I looked at everyone on the elevator and said "I am sure you are wondering why I have called you all here today" .... that has never gone over as well as I would have liked.

You mean Brokeback Mountain 2...Riding bareback?

I'm sorry, but I'm calling shenanigans, this was going around Twitter a while back.

My mom went to see her doctor (she is diabetic so regular doc appt)

Something in the office out of the blue just fell off the coutner without anyone touching it.

So at this point my mom starts telling the doctor about this place in mexico she visited last year its believed elfs live in. There is toys and small tiny furniture all around for them and they claim if you take an object with you and off the premisses they will follow you home and taunt you untill you return the item.

At this point she then says "maybe one followed me back home" she turns her head to her left side where there is no one and sais "stop that and behave we will leave shortly."

Absolutely not! I love doing this!

I would have loved to seen both cashiers faces! Hahahaha!

I've only been brave enough to attempt such shenanigans with my family. But I have quite the reputation for saying the most absurd things but in such a believable way, they believe it about 90% of the time. It helps that I can keep a straight face.

husband has been doing this for years. He has never been exposed to either Twitter, or Pinterest. Or Facebook.

He just gets on the elevator, keeps his sunglasses on, and faces in. Doesn't speak. He thinks it's hilarious.

Nope, I saw my dad do this when I was a kid and copied it from him back when I was in High School. I am sure he got the idea from one of his odd friends. I am not claiming to be the first to do this or the last. both times I did it, I ended up more embarrassed then the folks on the elevator.

and now I have to go Google Pinterest.

I can say anything with a complete and earnest face.

When I was 7 1/2 months pregnant with my daughter I was at the front desk handing some paperwork to the receptions. A lady standing infront of the desk asked me how many months I was to wich I looked at her dead in the face and replied I was not pregnant. About 2 min of akward silence after that I busted out laughing.

I like to go to a crowded place full of tourists like Disneyland and then find a random place and strike a pose. I don't move for a few minutes and usually they end up thinking its like a trick or something and take pictures with me.

My last name is Hispanic and I obviously don't look it. But often its assumed I won't speak good English. So when I get asked if I want a translator I respond in Spanish "yes, I don't speak Spanish" it usually takes a few minutes before they realize what I said.

I love throwing people off their game.

LOL, both very funny, but that first one could have gotten you in some trouble.

Actually I do this regularly and I hate twitter...sorry Edited to add I didn't see it anywhere. What you say to them may not be the same every time but I've used something similar.

you dont even have to say anything my favorite is just to stare really creepy at one person the entire ride FREAKS PEOPLE OUT!

I have to try this. If only it wasn't going to rain this weekend! I have a D'land pass.

I can say just about anything with a straight face, so most of the time people don't realize I'm being an @$$.

I used to hit the bars and speak with an accent or pretend that I didn't speak English at all. When people dont think you can understand them, it gets really interesting.

I also loved it when I was extremly pregnant when people would ask "Are you having a baby?"..Nope just smuggling a midget under my shirt.

My daughter is a college junior at age 16. Not dumb at all. She just quit her job cashiering, due to all the dumb-@ss customers. You do know that cashiers are told to be polite, don't you? They take a boat-load of crap from people who, I swear, like a passive, easy target who is being paid to be nice to you.

Civility is going to pot with clowns leading the way.

Are they? Because I've had some super b*tchy cashiers.

I like going to the hospital and dressing like a doctor. I tell people "I'm sorry but your loved one has passed away" The looks on their face is priceless. When the water works start pouring I say "you're the relatives of (insert ficticious name here)" When they say no I'm like " I'm sorry I have the wrong family" Then I look around and say "Oh **** I actually have the wrong hospital. See you later folks"


Btw ALWAYS wear a mask when trying to pull this off!

You do know some of us dumbass customers do things to try and make them crack a smile right?

A sense of humor will get you though life. Stop being so serious.

I was a cashier once. The dumbasses and people with a sense of humor got me through the day.

_VoV

My daughter is reading this over my shoulder, and just said all those 'original' jokes you make, she hears 50 times during the day. So, those 'cracked smiles' are forced.

I have a sense of humor. You just aren't funny.

I don't normally mess with complete strangers - but I will with my family... and one day my brother decided to do it back to me...

we were shopping one day and I had bleach, garbage bags and some rope and bag of cement and he walked up and goes "you forgot the axe, how are you going to dispose of the evidence with out the axe?"

The cashier called security and I was detained until the police could come and question me.. while he sat outside in his truck laughing at me.

I do things like this all the time. Here are a few of my favorites:

When a couple is walking hand in hand I always try to walk right between them so they have to separate. They always get so pissed.
I wave to random people, then when they wave back I tell them I was waving to the person behind them, they always look around and there never is anyone behind them.
When I am with my sisters anything goes, we've renamed waiters, butt into other people's conversations, constantly draw strangers into our convos, etc. One time my sisters were giving me a hard time on a Haunted Hayride so I got up, walked over to some strangers, sat in between them, linked my arms in theirs and told them that they were my new sisters. I sat with them the rest of the hayride and bashed my sisters to them, they didn't say a word to me, they drew the line at letting me get into their car though (I was just down the street they could have dropped me off.)
