Lights, Camera, No action

Title: Lights, Camera, No action

Target Audience: Girls work best, but anybody that needs a picture taken

Offensive Threat: medium

Scheme: This one you need to be careful with, because if a riot ensues you will have somebodies highly guarded possession, in your possession (how's that for wordplay?). What you need to do is find a group of people about to take a picture. Usually people will try and take a picture of themselves, and end up getting a close up of their nostrils, or being something completely off-center; and then describe it as 'artistic.' Instead of letting them make a mockery of photography, offer to take the picture for them. They will most likely oblige, and now you have the rights to use their camera. Get them all situated so it will be a hallmark card type picture. Then start your typical picture countup (not down). 1,2,3 picture right? Wrong. Once you hit the 3, turn to your left or right, and take a picture of whoever is standing next to you. Some people will laugh, some may cry, however all will be annoyed. Once the emotion wears off, get everybody back together for real this time. Then take the picture for real, but take it on 2 instead of 3.

Why It’s Annoying: Picture taking is an art that takes time and patience. By pulling this shenanigan, you have effectively wasted 30 seconds of somebodies precious time. It is also difficult for people to "replicate that perfect smile they had the last time" and will make them inevitably annoyed because they don't look as beautiful as they did 30 seconds ago.
