As you walk by someone, thump the heel of your hand into your forehead over and over, and quietly say under your breath, "shut up, shut up, shut up..."
by Jenniferocious on March 21st, 2007
Say "Hi", then when they look up confused, say "I love you." and smile in a slightly creepy way :)
Sounds like fun to me!

I got freaked out when someone ran up to me and Mewed in my face like a cat. Then walked off.

Every once in a while, take care to pick an imaginary bug out of your hair, look at it, then eat it.
If you want to do more than MILDLY freak them out, look at them straight in the eye and say, "I was crazy once. They put me in a room. I died there. Then the worms came. I hate worms; they make me crazy!" (It's all in the delivery.)

Put an empty baby basket on top of your car and start slowly driving off.
Maybe thats more than mild.

People hate it when someone is in their space. Next time there's someone sitting on a bench that is otherwise empty, sit extremely close to them. It'll freak them out because you could obviously have sat as far away as possible! My Psychology professor calls this "Bench-Sitting Ethics."

Dress up like Prince and tell people you're getting paid to do one of those (annoying) advertisements for Geico; ask them if they'd like to be the clientele? Oh, and make sure the costuming and make up is really bad and un-professional, and have someone accompanying you with a cheap camcorder, and some worthless props.
Have one of those mystery taste testing booths with a sign that says "Which one tastes better?" and have one sample be coke, and the other sample be the unknown. When they ask what the unknown is, you can can just laugh manically.
Or, you can carry around a full big, black garbage bag, and ask people where a good place to "get rid of the evidence" would be...might be taking some risks with that one though... hahah.

it always freaks me out when people walk or stand directly behind me and only a foot or two back

I had to do a sociology experiment based on this... I would talk into my purse on elevators full of people... Like going "Are you okay in there, enough room?" It was great!
by Friartuck on March 28th, 2007
As you exit a lift full of people, jump, grab your bum and say "Ooh!" like someone has pinched it.
Then turn around and glare at one of them...

Get a recording of a girl screaming, as if being attacked by someone. Then, play it as you walk around a crowded area.

When I was in the navy I was aboard a ship that carried marine troops. The first few days were really rough on them until they got their sea legs. They couldn't eat anything, everthing came up. What we would do is get raisins from the mess deck and insert them into the tip of our nostrils after which we we go topside and find some marines leaning over the rail. Pretending to have a cold one of us would blow our nose, look at it intently and then eat it. With any luck we could get 2 or 3 to heave up at a time. Oh,how I long for the good old days.

1) ask them if they have change for a apple; tell them that 2 lime and a lemon would be best for the bus
2) ask them if they would like to rent a body part to place an advertistment.
3) pretend you are looking for your lost boa constrictor
4) order a espresso drink from them
5) ask if they would help you count nits.
by Lindzdog on April 27th, 2007
i would nudge the air next to you and start up an extremly interesting conversatin with this air then start arguing with the air and scream as if the air is attacking then run away..
a little less attention drawing way would be to stare at someone for a little while then approach them and say "ok, i will do it tonight, keep everyone off our trail, the cops are smart but we are smarter" and walk away.....

In high school once, I made my face up to look like alice cooper and I carried a bible with the front cover facing forward for all to see. Only thing was I also drew on lines coming from the edge of my mouth to the chin and the lines under the eyes going to the cheeks were darker on me. And yes, I did the dark black around the eyes.
People were stunned and couldnt keep from looking at me and I refused to look at anyone- I just stared straight ahead as if all was normal...One woman on a city bus, did turn to me and say "excuse, me. Does that hurt?" She thought they were wound marks! My friends that were close by watching were hysterical all the way to high school...

This one has steps.
1. Make a piece of toast and cut it in half.
2. Put toast in you're pocket.
3. Get on a public bus.
4. Sit next to someone you don't know with a very shy and nervous expression on.
5.Ask them if they have butter.
6. when they ask why, say you need it.They'll ask why you need it.You'll say "For my toast."
7. Grab the toast out of you're pocket and clench it tightly. Keep the nervous look on your face, if you can, shake a little.
Afterwards, sit back, and enjoy when they're gone that is.
by BWhisKey on July 26th, 2007
Introduce them to your pet ice cube. Then, when you look in your hand and nothing is there, i.e. it melted, start crying hysterically about it's death and how it was the only one who loved you.
by Gracin the Strange on March 21st, 2007
I saw this lady on the bus one day and she had those cheapie stretch gloves on and she kept blowing her nose directly into them and then putting both her index fingers into her nostrils to give a booger swirl and just kept doing it and using the gloves she was wearing as tissue... I was a little more than mildly freaked out! If you can handle walking around with booger layers on your gloves this would be a good one.
by anonympus on February 18th, 2008
What freaked me out is a lady I had never seen came right up to my face,and she said "I had a dream about you last night"
by King of Sexytown on January 22nd, 2008
When I was living in Washington someone asked me if they could borrow my underwear for a magic trick they were doing. Amused, I gave it to him. He just put it on his head and ran away. Do that.

Walk up and act they're long lost friends you have not seen in forever. Most people will actually pretend to know you!

My husband used to catch people sitting on the benches in our mall, there were plants sitting next to the benches. He made a wild face and opened his eyes up as wide as he could, then took a huge bite out of one of the leaves, and chewed it up right in front of them. They were definitly freaked out.
by salmonella on August 26th, 2007
If you are on an elevator and there is someone on there with you and it's quiet, turn to them and say very quietly "I'm wearing new socks today..."
by bigdefense02 on August 4th, 2007
I do this one all the time, & it especially works well with several people. While driving down the road, when a car is just about to pass you, have everyone in the car point at the car that is passing, then start waving frantically. That person in the other car will be pondering who was waving at them for the rest of the day.
by fattie on March 28th, 2007
if you're in an elevator draw an imaginitive line in front of the other person and say here is my space and here is yours
by sssherri on March 21st, 2007
While walking your dog, go up behind someone with a spray bottle & squirt a little water on their leg. You can mildly freak out someone like that.
Another one with a spray bottle: go up behind someone & spray a little mist, while at the same time sneezing really loud.

You should find something there.
Sample: In an elevator, call the psychic hotline & ask them if they know what floor you're on.
Ask people to prove everything they say ("Hi, I'm Bob, nice to meet you..." "PROVE IT!!!")
In a public bathroom... Fill up a large flask w/ Mountain Dew. Squirt it erratically under the stall walls of your neighbors while yelling, "Whoa! Easy boy!"
Become a mime
In the computer lab.... Bring some dry ice & make it look like your computer is smoking.
On the beach.... Go swimming in a full business suit. If people notice, act like they're the weirdos.
Find someone to tell your life story to.
Tell the people your problems. They really want to know.
In the office.... Every time someone asks you to do something, ask them if they want fries with that.
Annoying a pizza man.... Change your accent every three seconds. Alteratively, haggle for your pizza.
If someone has a bad toupee, whack it off.
When the cops come.... "I thought you had to be in relatively good physical shape to be a police officer..."
Constantly wink at a person you don't know. Follow them around and blow kisses to them.
"I've just been treated for tapeworms."
At a funeral.... Tell the widow that you're the deceased's gay lover.
At a drive-thru.... If you are a male, have a female friend place the order by speaking VERY seductively and suggestively into the speaker. When she finishes, have her hide and pull up to accept your order. See how many of the order-takers fellow employees have been called over to the window to "check out the babe."
See if a yawn really is contagious.
Bring a dartgun. Be inventive.
Repeat every third third word you say say.
At a restaurant.... Help yourself to other people's meals. If they complain, pretend to stick your fingers down your throat and ask them if they'd like their food back.

(guys) start screaming like a girl..
run up to them, have a fit and beg them for their autograph

Go up to someone and ask frantically "WHATS THE DATE?!?!" when they answer, ask "no, no, whats year is it?!" then say "oh my god...IT WORKED!!! I HAVE TRAVELED INTO THE FUTURE!!" then laugh maniacally.
by Nelson - Jetpacking from bed on July 26th, 2007
This one is fun. When you get on an elevator, face the back (everyone walks in and turns around normally). Pick the stuffiest looking person, and look at them. Say to them while smilng "I got new shoes". Everyone will look at your shoes then look at your face with an odd look. Really effective if you have old beat to crap shoes.
by randomness - is now a Maestro on April 3rd, 2007
if you're in an elevator with lots of people, get a pen out of your pocket, stretch your arm out so that everyone can see that you are holding a pen, stare at it for a while and then drop it. leave it there. when someone tries to pick it up for you, scream as loud as you can "HEY!!! THATS MINE BIATCH!!!" and snatch it from them.
by xxxxxxxxxx on March 21st, 2007
you could do what my bf's brother does sometimes, he will buy fart spray and then walk up to someone and make a fart sound and spray the stuff. and then sit there and bask in the glory. and brag about how good it felt.
by Psycho the kid on March 21st, 2007

by Chosun One on March 21st, 2007
Get some of that silly slimy stuff from Toys r us and when they walk pass you, sneak real hard and sling some in their direction. Not on them though! We want you alive! lol
by LoyalTubist-CountryClub Life in Mindanao on March 27th, 2008
Get a diaper, any style (disposable or cloth). If it is a cloth diaper, fold it as you would for a baby.
Take about two tablespoons of peanut butter and smear it on the inside seat area of the diaper.
Next, get either Mountain Dew or lemonade and spill a little bit of it on the inside front of the diaper.
Now, when guests pass by put the diaper up to your mouth and eat the peanut butter and suck on the drink.
by XGAAHDX on March 19th, 2008
wear red color contacts and a Walmart name tag that says Lucifer
stand next to ATMs and wait until people enter their pin# then yell GOT IT! and run away
walk up to people and say "I want to play a game with you"
by Anonymous on February 2nd, 2008
look them in the eye and immediently start twiching violently for a few seconds. then, walk away, like nothing even happended.
by Bartman on August 25th, 2007
You need a friend for this one. Buy some potato chips. Position yourself on one side of the victim and ur friend on the other side. Casually offer chips to your victim. After couple of offers, when he brings his hand out to grab them, go, "no. not you! its for him (friend)"
by Christ IS Lord on June 30th, 2007
1. Declare your yard an independant country and fire at overpassing aircraft
2.Go to Walmart and in the gun section ask if you can hold one of the guns, if they let you ask the person if they know where the anti-depressants are
3. Dart around Walmart suspiciously, humming the Mission IMpossible theme

by Granny on March 21st, 2007
I've got a suggestion about what NOT to do... This happened recently to us:
Two young men (17ish maybe, and obviously trippin' on something) bounded over our fence one afternoon... bounded over the gate to the porch, also, and pounded excitedly on the door.
Both were talking on cell phones and hollering (into the phones and at us), "Call The Police. Please, Call The Police. Aren't You Going To Help Us?"
The hub (my husband) gathered his thoughts and answered, "I'll call the police in a moment. First, I'm gonna shoot ya and let the dogs out."
They left, quickly.
by orsonwelles on September 21st, 2008
Get into a crowded elevator, stand at the front then after the doors close, turn around and say, "You've probably wondered why I have called this meeting."
by Derek DuCote on February 9th, 2008
Try hugging them.
Or if they want to sit down next to you, pat the seat.
You could try bombarding them a pointless fact like: "did you know, a female Yak is called a Nak?"
by CheddarCatsKiss is Queen of Sexytown on November 29th, 2007
I get disposable drink cups, from Starbucks, or McDonald's, or wherever and wash them out. Then I use a resin mix and color it like coffee or soda, pour it into the disposable cup, tip the cup over on a sheet of wax paper and let the resin dry. After its dry, peel off the wax paper and you have a "spilled drink that you can take anywhere. I took my spilled Starbucks coffee to Walmart and set it on the photo machine, then just stood back and watched. The attendent flipped out and started bitching about people being pigs. When she picked it up her jaw dropped and my friend and I lost it. Then she put it back and called her manager to get him with it. Then the manager took it all over the store pranking other employees with it. Take it to a stor or someplace fancy and set it on good furniture or carpet. Best I have pulled off was on my bosses desk, right on top of a new batch of incident reports that he needed to read!
For sodas, I add in glass chunks that you can get at the craft store, makes it look like crushed ice. I know its a little involved, but the gag is worth the preparation!
What pranks never seem to work, regardless of practice?

Pick your nose with your index finger and then look intently at your pickings, muse at it for a while and then lick your second finger .. Its all in the delivery!
Made a girl puke in my class once with this :P
