Fun and Harmless Ways to Annoy Your Friends
When I’m bored on tumblr, I like to make “list” posts. So here’s another.
A few of these methods were inspired by my good friend Chris. In fact, I’ve fallen victim to a few of these thanks to his crazy shenanigans.
1) If you have access to your friend’s room, try to find their sock drawer. If you’re lucky enough to find it and see that they’ve already matched their socks…go ahead and start mixing them up. Match black socks with white socks, striped socks with polka dot socks…DIRTY SOCKS WITH CLEAN SOCKS! It doesn’t matter. As long as they aren’t matched anymore, it’s all good!
2) This one requires a little bit of timing. If your friend has a front door with a double lock, make sure the top lock is unlocked first. Then, when he/she is about to unlock the door knob and open the door…quickly lock the top lock again! Of course, you have to make sure you also have a copy of a key to your friend’s house (which is why this works on housemates the best). But it’s definitely worth it if you can pull this off.
3) When you’re at a fast food place with your friend and they have a medium/large cup for soda, wait for them to fill it up. Then, when your friend is about to close their cup with the proper lid…throw in a smaller lid at the last minute while yelling, “SMALLER LID INCONVENIENCE ATTACK!”. Watch the small lid as it floats helplessly around at the top of the drink. The look on your friend’s face will be priceless. (NOTE: this trick will not work if they have a “small” drink. Sure….you could just throw on a bigger lid….but it’s definitely not as funny. I tried it, and it just bounces off the top of the cup).
4) While you hang out in your friend’s room, wait for them to leave the room for something (i.e. a phone call, a bathroom break, an errand they have to run, etc.). When the coast is clear, find their underwear drawer and start hiding all their underwear in random places around the house/apartment. Chris actually did this to our friend Johnson (yes, that is his first name) once…and he was pretty mad about it. Johnson ended up finding most of his boxers over the course of the week…except for one pair. They turned out to be in the freezer behind some chicken breasts and frozen peas.
I highly recommend trying one of these on your best friend at least once. You’ll both have a good laugh. And if your friend doesn’t laugh at your crazy antics…it’s time to find a new best friend. I myself am available for the position if no one else offers to be your best friend. I charge bi-weekly.
Now I give you permission to imagine me giving you a smile and a big thumbs up with my left hand while offering a high-five with my right hand. Followed by an embrace.
