Have you scared someone?

[Fooz]

Not seeing how this was exactly mean, it's a good scare. The girls are 14! I'm pretty sure they are old enough to handle a good scare. It's not like he actually attacked them.

My family is not the scaring type of people, but i do remember i was watching "Ghost Ship" with my sister, brother, and a friend named Sarah who is i think at least 5 years older than me. During the middle of the movie, my sister walks out of the room. 2 minutes later, she walks in holding a big kitchen knife, and Sarah starts screaming.

That was about it, nothing big.

thank you, i fail to see how it is mean, it was just a laugh, and my sisters friend is just a pussy lol (i did say sorry though)

Does walking into places going 'hi.' count? That generally makes my Dad jump...

I have burst in on people with Airsoft BB guns. That makes them jump.

FInally, on a CCF camp I was on Stag (watch) looking out for the senior NCOs who were designated enemy for the weekend (they were possibly gonna shit-storm us in the night). I saw movement on the path/road and a small group of people whispering and looking through the trees at the platoon harbour so I crept up to the road and waited till they were literally 6/7 meters away from me before cocking my rifle and calling 'Halt! Advance one and be recognised!'

One of the random civvies (it's a public area when no live-firing is taking place) almost shat himself I swear... They were so shocked and even more so when I stepped out of the trees, slung my L98 and went 'Oh sorry sirs, There's a cadet training exercise going on round here so I'd appreciate it if you didn't mention this to anyone 'looking for directions back to camp'.

Me and a few others followed a friend around at night when he was walking and pretended to stalk him. He grabbed a gun went into his house and called the cops. Luckily got it all sorted out before the cops got there.

...We laugh about it now

Im a quiet person by nature, both in terms of movement and voice, so ive been accidently sneaking up on people for most of my life.
Oh and there was one time i was sat reading a book in the corner, my mum came in, watched a tv program, then had a fit when she turned on the lights (this was in the evening) and only then noticed i was actually there.

Nothing special. I'm just another natural ninja. Light-footed, swift and silent. At first I didn't intend to startle people when I appeared behind them but the reactions I get when they turn around have made it my intention to do it.

I knew this girl who worked at GameStop, and my friends and I knew she was working alone that night. So I bought a mask (some weird plastic thing), waited until GS was empty, and walked in wearing the mask.

Keep in mind I'm 6'3" and 250lbs so I'm kind of intimidating to a 5'6" petite girl.

Anyways, I walk in and stare at her for a second. She says "Hey." I don't respond and walk over to the Wii section and blatantly 'pretend' to be looking at games.

Finally I walk up to the counter where she was. She says "Can I help you?" and I notice she's clutching the cordless phone and turning red in the face. So for a few seconds I just breath heavily. then I remove the mask.

She tried to act like she knew it was a joke, but I felt kind of bad so I didn't call her on her bluff. When my friends came in one of them said "Holy shit, you are RED in the face." and at that point she gave up and admitted that she nearly wet herself and was moments away from running into the backroom and calling 911. It was pretty funny but also she used it as an excuse to yell at her manager and never be left alone in the place at night again.

Keep in mind that I KNEW her, anyone else doing this would have a high probability of getting arrested. That was about a year ago and the only time I've actually filled someone with honest-to-god fright.

So its impossible for you to wait somewhere else and get covered by insurance.
Good job there guy!

It's not impossible, I merely shouldn't have to. It's also not impossible for me to hand over my possessions if a criminal demands it, nor is it to cower and yell for help if I'm attacked, but I shouldn't have to.

I appreciate that we're allowed to use 'reasonable force' to prevent a crime, but when the reasonableness of that force is probably going to end up being judged as a calculated action (rather than as an adrenaline surged action) by a jury of my peers (and I've met my peers and consider them generally cretinous), it becomes easier to become a citizen who's not actively involved in ensuring the rule of law. That just seems, to me, to be a really bad place to be as a society.

EDIT: Actually, this is turning into a thread hijack, so I'll drop this here.

I tend to be pretty quiet, so it isn't uncommon for someone to walk into the room without noticing me. They then get mad when I startle them by saying hi.
