    Interesting thing I discovered..

    Okay, now this is what I have discovered. When saying "Hey <name> high five!" or just putting your hand up as to get a high five, there is an unspoken rule. I have noticed that the person that puts their hand up first, is the person that does the slapping.

    To test, stick your hand up to a friend for a high five, and dont move it at all once it gets to the maximum height. Just smile and stare at them. See how creepy the reaction is when they realize they have to do work and slowly slap hands and walk away.

    Tell me im not right!

    When people do that to me, I smack them in the face.

    Actually I like to be playful, people expect this type of stuff from me. Sometimes on the car ride home from school I'll point at people or take an umbrella and open it and just wave it around etc.. I got others too, just lemme think of them

    Okay heres another.

    Someone sneezes.
    You said "Bless you"
    They say "thanks"

    There is no "Your welcome" or anything..So slip one in and just look them in the eyes and say "Your welcome" and the person will be kinda creeped and not know what to say. I like this one too

    When sitting at a table, having beer with friends, you'll occassionally have a silent moment when nobody has anything to say. It's at those moments that everyone will look away from everyone else. (The same applies for family gatherings)

    Either

    A) Place your foot, raised middle finger or any odd item directly in the field of their vision
    B) Stare at them intently

    Has happened to me many times.

    The probability of someone not hearing your greeting is proportional to the number of people around.

    Its kinda embarassing.

    You ask someone to get you some coffee (or anything). When they come back and give it to you, don't instinctively say 'Thanks', say 'You're welcome' and see how long it takes before that registers with them.

    I have noticed, in most cases, 4-5 seconds before they realize it. 7-9 in the case of women.

    I like it when bosses tell you to do something, and you just sit there... they expect you to do it and you don't. They sit there with an odd look on their face. I have had a LOT of bosses that have done this, if you can believe it...

    Re: Interesting thing I discovered..

    Coworkers send you an email, and come to your desk to personally inform you, "I've sent you an email." They then proceed to tell you exactly what they wrote in the email.

    Potential ideas:

    A) After the task is complete, go to their desk and tell them you're GOING to send them an email that says that you're done with the task.
    B)

    Here's an observation for you.

    I have noticed that when people on the metro system (tube,subway) collect the free paper from the pile at the station they NEVER pick the top one.

    They always grab one from the middle of the pile as if the top one is diseased when in actual fact it is almost certainly the cleanest as noone touches it.
