As they are not only annoying, but also boring, here are some ways to make what ever journey you're undertaking more interesting:
- Complain loudly about how crowded it is in here - be sure to ask people if they've noticed
- Pass out sexual health leaflets
- See how much skin on skin contact you can achieve
- Fart loudly - stare down anyone who looks at you
- Attempt a series of stretches on the grounds that you can get cramp from standing still for too long
- Fail to discreetly tell other passengers that you suspect another passenger hasn't showered in a while
- Loudly state: "well this is awkward"
- Chose one person - stare at them
- Release bees - lots of bees
- (lifts only) As the lift begins to rise, put one hand in the air like superman and exclaim "to the skies!"
- See how many times you can revolve on the spot before the journey ends
- Record all your thoughts on the journey so far - using a Dictaphone
- See how much clothing you can remove before you are stopped
- Clumsily grope people on the grounds you stumbled - make it clear this is not the case
- Attempt non verbal seduction
- Attempt very verbal seduction
- Put headphones in, and play loud music from a concealed source - fail to notice people's complaints as you bop along
- Swoon
- "you know, we're only a few layers of clothing away from an orgy" - followed by a wink
- Attempt to prepare a substantial meal - bring cooking equipment if possible
- Inform people, for their own safety, that you have "a condition". When they ask what, grin maniacly and say "you'll see soon enough"
- Hold a number of referendums on various contentious topics
- Attempt to start a brake dancing contest
- Clutch a stranger and say "If we crash and die, will you hold me?"
- "I just want to let everyone know, i'm no longer contagious"
- Begin humming a favourite tune, built in volume, and then explode into the chorus, complete with air guitar
- Attempt to bless people, using various holy substances if possible
- Challenge someone to a duel for invading your personal sovereign space
- "Has anyone seen my bomb? I put it down around here somewhere"
- Ask people if they know what the correct procedure for dealing with a flash flood is
- Accuse people of stealing your oxygen
- Count out loud
- Try and escape
Author's note:
I wrote this on my phone while sharing a space just large enough to fit a small horse in (or just over 2 pandas) with approximately 10 strangers on a long train journey.
One man looked over my shoulder to see what I was writing, and when he'd seen, he looked at me imploringly, as if begging me not to actually try any of these.
I gave a sinister grin in response.
Love it! It would be cool to conduct an experiment and walk around recording people's reactions to someone who actually did any of the above!
