"Eviil, like fruits of the deviil!"

Hah. Sometimes I am so funny. As I was walking into town last night, this happened:

Gang of studenty lads: "Do you know where the Sherman Theatre is?"
Me: "Yes."
Gang of studenty lads: *expectant looks*
Me:...
Gang of studenty lads: *confused looks*
Me: *Smile*
Gang of studenty lads: *Nervous shuffling*
Me: "Oh! Do you want to know where it is then?"
Gang of studenty lads: "Yes. Please."

When I'm walking down quiet streets at night, I sometimes walk quite closely behind people who are heading in the same direction. Not weirdly close, but just close enough to freak them out ever so slightly...

I am mean.

If I can't be bothered when someone asks me for directions, I either shrug or send them in a random direction and let them fend for themselves.

I also occasionally stare people out on the tube. That's a lot of fun, I must say.

I quite enjoy smiling randomly at nothing when I'm on the tube by myself. People generally tend to think that you're a bit loopy.

I think you should try looking concerned and staring at someone's forehead/shoulder/knee and see how long it takes them to start checking that it's OK.

I've been doing the random smile thing lately - mostly due to my good mood - and people keep looking at me like I've just threatened them with a can of petrol and a lighter.
It's like when you let people get on a bus/train first or give up a seat - people just don't seem to be prepared for niceness.

Americans always seem to be very nice and polite and helpful. It's scary. I don't like it.
