While at home:
1 Accuse your roommates of their “sniffing glue addictions” while friends are around.
- I had a roommate who used to randomly accuse people of stealing his food (not true), but it was hilarious; I can only imagine the hilarity of “confronting” a roommate with a “sniffing glue addiction”.
2 Ask 1-800 operators out on dates.
- Back when I was 12 (before cell phones were around), my friends and I would prank call 1-800 operators… although we never thought to ask them out.
3 Light a road flare on a roommate’s birthday cake
- And I thought trick candles were bad… try blowing out a road flare.
4 Stand over someone’s shoulder and mumble as they read
- My brother used to do this to me all the time, just to piss me off… not funny, but annoying.
5 Lick the filling out of all the Oreos and stick the cookie pieces back in the tray.
- I did this to a kid back in the fifth grade, except instead of licking all the filling out, I would lick the center of the filling out, fill the rest with Elmer’s glue and offer him the “rest of my cookies”. Worked every time! …I do feel guilty now.
While at work:
1 Repeat everything any co-worker says to you back as a question.
- I actually had a co-worker who did this, but it was not to be funny or annoying, that is how they really were.
2 Only type in UPPERCASE
- A current friend of mine does this, but she blames it on having to use an application that makes her type in all caps… yea, right.
3 Set alarms for random times
- An ex-boyfriend used to do this, and yes, to be funny (or annoying).
4 Staple papers together in the middle of the page
- I once worked with a woman who did this, although she claimed it was because she was in too big of a hurry to pay attention to where she was stapling.
5 Refer to your co-workers as “Champ” or “Tiger”. Refer to yourself as “Coach”.
- Gotta love this one! My friend would do this all the time, hilarious!
While with friends:
1 Repeat the following conversation over and over again, “Do you hear that?” “What?” “Never mind, it’s gone now.”
- My oldest brother would do this, and yes, to annoy – it worked once we caught on.
2 Surprise old friends by showing up on their doorstep at 3am to reminisce on old times.
- I have an old friend that wouldn’t surprise you at your door, but call you on your cell until you would pick up at 3am.
3 Insist on giving weather forecasts every 30 minutes while at the bar with your friends, stating that you are AMS certified.
- Do it, I dare you.
4 Buy large quantities of orange traffic cones and re-route whole streets
- I recommend you do this at night when no one is looking.
5 Inform your friends that they exist only in your imagination
- Convince them you are psycho.
While out:
1 Go to an upper class restaurant, and refuse to be seated. Simply stand by the cash register and eat their complementary mints.
- A friend of mine had done this, only because her date hadn’t arrived yet, the staff totally glared at her until her date finally arrived.
2 At the laundry mat, use one dryer for each of your socks.
- Cruel, yet funny, and costly.
3 Wonder around a restaurant asking other guests for their parsley or a bite of their food.
- Only in the movies have I seen this done, I would die laughing to see it in real life.
4 Order a side of pork rinds with your filet mignon.
- Classic!
5 Ask people what gender they are
- I used to nanny for a toddler who was confused on gender (he was just learning the difference), it was actually quite funny.
