Seven ways to freak people out!

"Hahaha!

-Now could you please enlighten me with the fact why you are laughing and that too without a reason?

- Because that is how I celebrate my life!

- Pardon? So Hey..What are the other ways you have incorporated to 'celebrate' your life?

- Umm...I freak people out. Cheers!"

1. Say weird things. For example, walk into a shop, poke a fellow customer in the arm and say - "Hey! You silly, silly goose!". Or, have a very troubling conversation on the phone or a headset, and shout out sketchy things like- "I don't care how many pages there are! Keep eating!"or "Look, I'm paying you to do this. Take the shot. Make sure it's the head." 

2. Break into a frenzied jig while walking down the street. Incorporate the craziest steps you can think of at that moment in your dance. 

3. Act confused by everyday things. For example, carry a carton of milk to the cash counter of your local grocer's, and ask the cashier what it is. When enlightened, act like you had never heard of milk until that point of time.

4. Pretend to be any fantasy character. Dress and act like a witch, robot, zombie, vampire, werewolf, warlock or the like. For instance, if you choose to be a vampire, then wear a cape and hold your hand in front of your face as you hiss "AH!  Sunlight! I'm burning!"

5. Be too close for comfort. You could ask for advice regarding very personal problems, or propose random strangers in random places. Or you could shuffle upto someone, be hopelessly awkward , and say something like "Hey.... uhh..... um.. I like your nose." 

6. Creep people out. You could use the old classic- jumping out of  bushes and scaring the daylights out of anybody walking by. Or you could wear crazy clothes and make-up and be completely nonchalant about it. Or, you could carry suspicious object, like a suitcase labelled 'HEARTS.'

7. Strike a normal conversation with a stranger, and then suddenly, with absolute panache, slip in a weird comment or question, like - "Hey, want to see a dead body?" or "Gotta rush, have a murder to plan". 

But while executing these crazy pranks, you should be aware of the safety issues. You definitely do not want to be jailed or assaulted for trying to have a little fun. Know where you are, and act accordingly.  Happy freakery!!
