Guide On How To Freak People Out

Just like everyone else, I often find myself bored and looking for ways to entertain myself. And if I’ve learned anything in my 21 years of existence then its that entertaining yourself at some one else’s expense is way better than just watching T.V or going to the movies. Now when I say ‘expense’ that doesn’t mean go out and get your kicks by beating an old man in the knees with a baseball bat; it’s much more fun to be subtle when having fun at someone else’s expense. Your goal is to leave a lasting impression that may cause your victim to miss a night or two of sleep while not doing any actual harm to them.

Step One: This is a simple yet effective way to freak someone out more than you could ever know. Drive your car over to a busy intersection while the light is red, as cars approach the light, line your window directly up with theirs and stare hypnotically into the driver of the car on your left. It won’t be long before the driver gets that feeling someone is watching him.

Watch closely as the driver will try to look your way to verify that someone is looking at them without actually looking at you (when they do this their head will resemble a spring action sprinkler). If for whatever reason the other driver does make eye contact with you, just nod your head slightly, they will think that there’s some kind of scheme in the works that someone forgot to tell them about. Eventually the other driver will cave in and pull up just slightly so that you don’t have line of sight into their window, when this happens simply follow ahead and continue to stare. If you have confidence in your driving then you may be able to never break your stare as you pull up. Variations to this tactic include using lots of black eye makeup and/or having a person in your passenger seat also stare to increase the effect by 100%.

Step Two: This one can be a little harder to pull off, but can really do some lasting damage and give your victim a story to tell for weeks to come. Go to the mall (and if you’re anything like me, you despise the mall but this is worth it) and find a group of three or four friends walking and talking together. Approach from behind without alerting them to your presence and just begin to walk very closely behind the group. Listen carefully to their conversation because sooner or later your presence will be mentioned.

The best part about this method is that most people are too embarrassed to ask what the hell you’re doing floating behind them. If they do confront you, just pretend like you were checking out some linens in the window and you didn’t even know you were too close to them. Or another option would be to throw on that Dutch accent you should have been practicing and reply that ‘in your country everyone walks this way’ and then smile. The most important thing to remember when facing a confrontation is that you have to keep it up afterwards. Once again the effect can be increased by lots of black eye makeup and/or a friend to help.
