Ways to mess with people.

[Bofus Teefus]

Go to a store, buy a bottle of KY jelly, and stand there holding it, looking contemplative. Yes, I read XKCD.

Did I throw you out of a store a few years back? Seriously, I walked into an aisle and there was a guy taking a drop of each type of lubricant that we had (incidentally- this is a drug store, not adult books) and rubbing his fingers together with it. So I guess this is a win for how to screw with people.

Change the location in all desktop short cuts to ---> shutdown -s -t 60 -c " " <---
This will on Windows XP cause the computer to start a 60 second timer that will shut the computer down and cannot be stopped unless you have this code ---> shutdown -a <--- in either a shortcut or in the Run box.

---> and <--- are start and end points of the code and not part of it.

Start randomly yelling swears and see how many look at you

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Either.

When someone asks you 'have you got the time?' You look at your watch and you say 'Yeah'. Then Walk away.

OR.

In a club, maintain eye contact with someone, widen your eyes, then hip thrust twice to the left, then twice to the right, and vice versa, moving forward as you do. If they run, well it's expected.

If they stay and are interested, well Billy, you've probably got yourself a whore/mental patient!

while walking in a hallway when no ones looking, pu some tape on each wall, then when you see those peices of tape, stop and then pretend to tep over something, then everyone behind you thinks that there is something there and will step over it too.

recipe for awesome

When somebody comes to sit next to you on a bus, just pat the seat and smile at them.

 

[T-Bone24]

I carry a small teaspoon around with me in my inside coat pocket. Whenever someone asks to borrow a pen or something, I just take out the spoon and say, "No but I have a spoon?"

 

[MurderousToaster]

Kick them in the balls and mutilate them.

Oh right, psychologically?

Wait until they hit you a little and pretend to be seriously hurt.

 

[MurderousToaster]

Don't add any inflection at the end of your sentences, implying that you will say something any moment and creating awkward silences.
Finish all your sentences with "In accordance with prophesy".
Reply to anything anyone else says with "That's what you think."
Signal a conversation is over by clapping your hands over your ears and running away.

I love you. Seriously.

 

[Anarchemitis]

There are more than enough ways to mess with people. The Comedy genre of Hollywood has made that abundantly clear. There are not enough creative methods devised to appreciate or compliment people.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

Steal someones wallet and replace their money with monopoly money.
Also put a card in there that states "I know where you live".
Put wallet back in persons pocket.
This works best if you are in or approaching a store of some kind.

My friend in maths kept looking at my other friend who was across the room and she kept seeing her looking as she looked the other would look away we then convinced my friend she was seeing things and going mad, we had to tell her when she was about to try :/

 

[Agent Larkin]

I placed a wireless speaker in the office of my schools nun. I started playing very holy music through it. She got scared.

Also I once filled someone's locker with paint filled condoms. Works a treat.

Also i love to mess with people in shops by giving them advice and when they ask me if I work there (they always do) just looking completely deadpan and going "Oh I don't work here Im just stalking the cashier"

I suppose that this is more of a real life thread, but I found a way to mess with people in WoW. Pretty simple, all you have to do is find a box or something to hide behind in a crowded city and type "/e picks your pocket for 1 gold 45 silver." If you put in believable increments of money the more likely they'll fall for it.

Fuckin' hilarious!

Turning all the clocks forward afew hours when they have to get up early for work or anything important. Alot of effort if you have alot of computers ect but well funny.

The old screenshot desktops a goodun.

If your still in school, slightly unplugging someones mouse is funny once or twice.

oooo pressing "alt + shift + print screen" on a windows machine makes it go into high contrast mode. Funny at school where most Teachers dont know about it either and just blame the pupils computer you did it on.

Im in computer mode right now so can only think of computery ways to mess with people
+ I miss school.

Edit: Dont really think these are messing with people but...

A "mate" of mine had a really creepy ability to randomly vomit in public.

I can do that, ive also taught others howto. If you can fake a burp by like breathing air into your stomache, (Not explained very well but its commen, sure you know what I mean) then you just burp it out but keep pushin. Usually your sick within 5/10 seconds of pushin.

I can also fart with my eye. I have no fucking idea how to explain how I do this, and never met anyone else who can, nor have I been able to teach it. Kinda pull the eyelids out and trap air in then push it out it makes a farty noise. Dunno how I found that out and ive worked out how to do high pitch/low pitch aswell

God I feel like a kid right now.

I've done that try to burp thing and end up puking before...

It's really gross because you either full on puke or it just ends up in your mouth and burns.

Bah.

OT: I can make my eyes twitch spasmodically (the actual eye, not eyelids) so my pupils are vibrating back and forth really, really fast, I have no idea what it looks like, but it freaks the hell out of some people I know.

If someone is walking behind you, stop and pretend your stepping over an invisible wire. With a little luck the person will stop where you did it and look around for a tripwire.

Have you seen the episode of Green Wing where they do that in the office? It's fantastic!

 

[Thunorg]

Get a friend and stand either side of a road, and every time a car comes pretend to pull on an invisible rope between you. Then see how many cars slow down when you pull the "rope" tight.
Also works with people instead of cars.

 

[Wilfy]

Get on their computer and make an image of their desktop with all their icons in place. Then set that image as their desktop and delete or move all their icons.

You should be worshipped for that idea.
Anyways, there are two things me and my friends do.
Two of my friends are a very deep sleepers. One time when they fell asleep and the rest of us are awake, we laid one of them on top of the other and placed some empty beer cans by them. Their reactions when they woke up were priceless.
The other thing was when one of my friends was in an open-topped shower. We got about ten freezing cold water bombs and chucked them over at him.
Another thing to do is tell someone you know someone fancies them, and them not tell them who.

EDIT: Tie loads of string from one side of a corridor to another. The reactions you get when people walk into it are great.
