messing w/ppl's mind

any good ways to do this? i wanna do a few good psychology experiments. for example, doing stupid random stuff in the middle of class, or when you go follow ppl into an elevator, instead of turning around to face the door, stay facing everyone else to see what their reactions are.

about a week ago, in my 7th hour class, everyone was quiet and doing their work, when out of nowhere i slapped myself really hard. everyone, including me, was laughing. then everyone else in the class started doing it.

i would like more things like this to do. just for fun. any ideas or stories of your own is appreciated.

 

Does your class get to school by a short yellow bus?

I can't really think of shit. It's more of a spur of the moment thing and you have to be in front of me.

 

Ummm......pass out shroom choc's to the whole class, and then repeat speeches made my adolf hitler over and over?

 

lol. can you imagine sending a 'secret admirer' to a teacher with shrooms. lol. that would be cool.

the number thing isn't stupid. and i would like to see how many ppl pick 7....

no, its not a short yellow bus...most of my 7th hour is freshman, if that helps any....

 

Offer to tell a knock-knock joke...

Begin by having your audience say "knock-knock" and then you say "who's there?"

hehe...

After thwe doors close in an elevator ask "is this one heaven or hell?" And look worried.

 

repeat everything someone is saying right when theyre saying it.

 

Start talking and throw in a word like pamsons or yogourt or something and insist that you never said it. Begin to look worried about the person the more they point out that you're saying it. Most people get so confused they just walk away.

Another way to skrew with people is to dress up funny and give them the exact reason why you're doing it. Almost no will believe you're doing a psychology experiment or else they will and seriously question why they're involved. Though this isn't really skrewing with them in the strictest sense but the point behind this one is that they'll think you're skrewing with them but they just haven't figured out how yet.

 

Psychological mind games are a favorite around here, and just seeing a brightly painted school bus seems to be mind-fuck enough for many folks (brings about a 'am I having a flashback' look from drivers by) but we have a tendency to push it furthur. We've done many weird & fun things but a favored experiment range are the bubble experiments that have been played in many forums, from coutry outdoor festivals to war protests.
A personal favorite was the time we had 2 ft. bubbles bouncing off the UT tower; our bubble 'soup' mixture was extra strong that time. People were tripping out.

Off the bubble subject, anyone ever try to give away stuff for a smile in babylon? It works at Rainbow but the mainstream folks can't cope. They frown, desperately try to hide smiles, say 'no thank you' and scurry away. It's too funny!

tell people you're gay, and then through the nazi sallute and yell at the top of your lungs "ZEIG HEIL!"

you'll definately get that 'what the fuck?' look.

 

cut your ahir or dye it drsticlly and then wehn someone says sommething swear that its alwasy been that way and look confused and worried and maybe a little scared of them.

this works with aquantances- not friends

 

I don't know, some of my friends tripped out bad when I went blonde; they woulda taken it better if I'd gone for purple...........

 

when you're talking to somebody, look just above their eyes. at their hair or slightly above it, most people will start looking around to see what you're looking at.

 

in an elevator walk around clockwise going up and counterclockwise going down
1. it's cool when the elevator stops
2. people freak out

Yell look at me in the middle of a crowded place, then when people do look at them like there is something wrong and hurry off worried

everytime you pass behind a half wall "walk down stairs"

This one works best for family, get an inanimate animal (teddy bear, turtle garden light, you know) and move it, every time their away move it closer and closer They can't see you move it obviously, get someone else (preferably an unsuspecting neutral party) to draw their attention to it, gradually alter it's appearance also to look more aggressive, I had my sister thinking that the solar turtles wanted her dead

 

HAHA wow there are a lot of elevator ones. Here's another, stay in an elevator by yourself, when more people start to come in, start panicking and shout, "YOU GUYS ARE HOGGING ALL THE OXYGEN!" then face the wall and start heaving.

 

or pass out name tags

 

LOL...Great thread !!!

 

Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a
horrible crisp no one would eat?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll
squeeze these dangly things here and drink whatever comes out'?

Why is it that when someone tells you that there are over a
billion stars in the universe, you believe them, but if they tell
you there is wet paint somewhere, you have to touch it to make sure?

my friend for her psychology project stood in the lift (elevator) with her friend with clipboards, and when ppl came into the lift they'd make "notes" while watching them. freaked loads of ppl out apparently and they were asked to leave by the manager of the shopping centre! tres amusant
