10 Things To Do Just To Mess With People

Sometimes you just want to freak people out because it's funny.

1. Extremely prolonged eye contact

I know it has been done before, it's a cliché, but if you really want to freak someone out this is a great starting point.

2. Asking someone if they have been crying, when they clearly haven't been.

This will make anyone question whether or not they are hiding their sadness... from themselves.

3. Laugh really hard in a genuine manner when you are alone in silence with a person (keep laughing until it gets extremely weird).

This would definitely freak me out, I highly suggest.

4. When you meet someone for the first time tell them you had a dream about them.

Straight up terrifying, try and give a weird amount of detail when explaining the dream.

5. Correct someone on your name, making up a new name each time you meet them (causing them to think they are going crazy not knowing what your name is).

This is a good one if you don't want to be friends with someone but they can't take the hint.

6. Drop something in front of a stranger and stare at them until they pick it up.


Great to do in a quiet, yet crowded place, like an airplane or a play.

7. Take a picture of someone you don't know that well, make it your phone background then show it to them.

Preferably a close up of their face. Also, this is super creepy so make sure you pick someone who at least kind of knows you.

8. After someone says something say "that's what I just said", even though you didn't, and look at them confused.

You really have to stick to your argument with this one. Also, try to do it when someone says something really specific to make it extra weird.

9. Randomly start breathing really loud and fast and tell everyone you don't know what they're talking about when they ask if you're okay.

This will definitely freak people out... maybe too much.

10. If someone lightly touches you scream and jump back.

This will make for some serious awkward silence, always remember to say "I'm just messing with you" after this one.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
