Ding-Dong-Stay

I recently saw a video on the internet that both amused me and got me to thinking.

The video was of some British guy pulling a prank where he would ring someone's doorbell and then when they answered the door, he would just stand there quietly. Usually, the person that answered the door would eventually ask why the guy had knocked on the door, at which point the guy would accuse the person who answered the door of being the one who had knocked on the door in the first place. The goal was to see how long it took before the person became frustrated and closed the door.

I think that it would be funnier if you just stood there saying nothing until they shut the door. I think that it would make people feel very uneasy.

And then I wondered if it would be possible to intentionally screw up other types of pranks in an effort to really confuse people.

For example, you could toilet paper someone's house in broad daylight while they were working in the yard, and just pretend that you don't see or hear them. Just go about your business and leave.

Or you could put on a scary mask and follow a family member into their bedroom, turn on the light, and hide in their closet while they were watching you, then jump out and try to scare them.

You could walk up to a friend, kneel down, and tie his or her shoelaces together while they were watching, and then walk away.

Try making an obvious attemt to tape a "kick me" sign to someones forehead.

Loosen the top of the salt shaker during the middle of the meal while everyone is watching.

The possibilities, once again, are endless.
