    I was reading another thread about guilty-pleasure names, which reminded me of something my husband and I do for a laugh amongst ourselves. Ordinarily, I wouldn't tell anyone about it, because I'm not 3 years old, and I generally don't conduct myself that way. But sometimes he and I revert into a childlike mischeivous mood, and indulge ourselves.

    By no means are we hurting anyone, but sometimes we fill out comment cards with a bunch of nonsense at restaurants for the amusement of imagining how the poor soul might react to the ridiculous non-answers we write. All of the answers usually have nothing to do with the product what-so-ever, so it can't get anyone in trouble. The name we usually assign to the false patron is Teurde Ferguson after the Norm McDonald rendering of Burt Reynolds on SNL.

    I know, I know.... shameful. But we can't be the only couple out there to play social pranks. What do you do to fulfil your little inner child's spirit?

    Hey you guys aren't the only ones. My guy and I have pruposely "rearranged" a store. We would put things out of place just for fun.

    @bearshoney: I'm glad we're not alone. I once witnessed a not-so-funny prank. Someone sitting at a table before the victim had mostly unscrewed a salt-shaker, and when the next person picked it up, the whole contents of the shaker poured onto the poor guy's food. He didn't seem amused.

    Another goodie: Watching people erase select letters off of an advertisement board to reveal obsenities.

    My Fi and I have gotten into nerf sword fights in the store on more than one occasion. If we're in a women's clothing/shoe/accessory store too long I guarantee he'll start trying on women's hats. It makes me laugh, part of why I love him.

    @JulesSchnooks: Girl, I would never do it, but you don't know how tempting it is when all these fast food places advertize ANgUS beef.

    @JulesSchnooks: I'm wondering what kind of stuff you write?

     

    @JulesSchnooks: Ooh, that last one is hilarious. When FI and I took a short vacation, the hotel we stayed at was across from a restaurant called Damon's. The O was burnt out so it said Damn's... we thought it was the funniest thing ever and he took pictures for FB. Haha, now it's just funny that we were so amused...

    I dance around my apt and sing silly songs, looking goofy

    @JulesSchnooks: We also like to make faces at other people when we are driving down the freee way or at a stop light. See peoples reactions are hilarious! 

    I'm glad we arent the only funny ones out there.

    @galloway111: Oh boy, we write some heinously embarrassing things... nonsense, mostly. Like for sections asking for suggestions on new  menu items, we might ask for the addition of adhesive medical strips because we are a family of hemophiliacs.... YOu know, things that will crack us up while we have a pen in hand, but we never write anything malicious about our server or anything.

    @JulesSchnooks: & @kaylee26: When I would waitress, I'd spend my free time making scrambles of the huge board outside. Seriously, they were giving me GOLD to work with, but I didn't want to loose my job.

    My favorite night was when a huge drunk bachelorette party went outside. They were gone for a long time, so I went out to find them trying to rearrange the sign. They were too drunk to figure out how to reach it, so I taught them how to stunt base (former cheerleader) and they jacked the sign up *all on their own* Innocent

    @JulesSchnooks: Just wondering... I once lost all my hours at a former job for 2 weeks because of a bad survey "I" got when it really had nothing to do with my performance... so, PSA: When filling out surveys, be careful what you write! Your negative reviews don't change anything, they just hurt the lowly employee who has no control anyway.

    @bearshoney: We love waving at random people in cars and on the street. Almost no one waves back :( We get flipped off more often than a returned wave, it's sad.

    @kaylee26: Stunt base is the proper way to lift someone up for maximum support. Less injuries that way.

    @galloway111: Oh yeah. We NEVER leave names of wait staff, and only leave comment cards if there is a box in the lobby... we never leave it on the table.

    @JulesSchnooks: Ah, good. Then it's funny :P FI has tried writing on tables in ketchup but I get mad at him because I've worked in food service and ketchup is just awful to clean up! So then of course that encourages him even more, haha. It's like I'm preparing for the terrible 2s of my future kids!

    @JulesSchnooks: I don't even remember anymore, it's been years, but I do recall the words 'hard' and 'dick/cock.' And that fact that management couldn't figure out how they got up there and it took a few days to fix because they didn't have the necessary ladder. I didn't volunteer my skills, bahahaha.

    @kaylee26: Oph, sorry, I was browsing other threads. If you and I were facing one another, we'd place our own hands at our chest, wrists together, and hold a flyer's feet (I'd have one and you'd have one). So she's basically an extra 3/4ths of a person taller. These gals were impressive learners, even while hammered. Haha.

    @galloway111: Mr.ND has poured a server of pancake syrup on his head at IHOP. He also drank an ENTIRE server of it at Perkins...I don't even want to know what disasters our future children will be. Men = large little boys.

    We are dorkalicious. My DH is like the pun-master, most of them so gloriously horrible that I have to laugh. Pity laughing is fine with him :D

    I like the comment card suggestion. I'll totally try that.

    We make up stories sometimes about people while we're driving. Usually based on their combination of bumper stickers, car, and clothing. They can get very detailed and ridiculous.

    @kala_way: That sounds like fun. Sometimes, DH and I will mute the TV and make the people have their own conversations a-la MSTK 3000. We are such nerds. I love us. Laughing

    @JulesSchnooks: Oh my god.  Teurde Ferguson.  Hahahahaha.  I love it.

    I think there's no problem with embracing your inner child.  We engage in a lot of general goofiness and have been known to make some immature jokes.  I'm trying to think of anything really outrageous we've done in public.  One thing comes to mind right off the bat - FI does a really good impression of Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.  It's hilarious and creepy, it's so dead-on.  Once when we were Christmas shopping he had an entire conversation with a sales clerk in a store using his Buffalo Bill voice.  I don't think the poor girl knew whether he was messing with her or whether that was really his voice.  I had to walk away because I couldn't contain my laughter.

    DH and I don't do a lot of child-like stuff together.

    But I am totally a child at heart and love zoos and coloring and Disney ....
