Welp, Smell Ya Later!

Title: Welp, Smell Ya Later!

Target audience: Strangers

Offensive threat: Medium

Scheme: This was a shenanigan my buddies and I used in high school all the time. You need to be in a setting with a large group of people. Typically bars, sporting events, schools, riots, and peace gatherings are good places to start. The first thing you need to do is find an unsuspecting, innocent looking stranger. When your target has been locked, walk up to them and make eye contact. Make sure your eye contact screams, "something awkward is about to happen to you." Once the annoyee knows its coming. Go in and sniff 'em. There are 2 ways to do this. Option 1 is that you almost rest your nose on their shoulder. Subtly sniff, loud enough for them to hear, but not too loud so it sounds like you're snorting. Follow them (with your nose still sniffing their shoulder) if they try to walk away. If they freak out and look at you, look them back in the eye, shrug and walk away. Option 2 is what I call the "cross sniff." A diagram below is an illustration of the target sniffing areas. This is a little bit more aggressive move, but is also shorter. What you want to do on this one, is sniff near their chest, and aggresively move your head (while continuing to sniff) up towards their shoulder. Like option 1, give them awkward eye contact and shrug and walk away when your done.

Why it's annoying: Being the smelly guy/girl is one of peoples biggest fears. It is up there with dying and public speaking (reference needed). By giving a random person the ol' sniffaroo, you evoke some of their greatest fears and insecurities. It will also cause confusion and pandemonium internally among the annoyee, which makes it even worse for them. A classic shenanigan.
