Title: Whats New York?
Target audience: Any New Yorker
Offensive threat: Medium-high
Scheme: Let me preface this post by saying I love New York. It is one of the greatest cities in the world and if you have never been there I highly suggest you go ASAP. With that being said, it is toooonnnnsss of fun to make fun of the city and its inhabitants. This shenanigan will take place upon first meeting someone, so you will have to be on your toes (not literally, so don't worry if you have bad foot strength). Anyway, when you first meet someone one of the first questions during the conversation is always, "so where you from?" When you ask your potential annoyee the said question, and they answer "New York" this is where you strike. After their answer, simply look confused and say, "New York? Where is that? Is that in Canada?" This question will enrage the New Yorker. They will probably flip out on you, call you a redneck, and show visible frustration. Mission accomplished.
*Note- This prank will NOT work if you are from New York or in New York.
Why it's annoying: New Yorkers are among the most high strung people on earth, so not acknowledging where they are from is incredibly irritating to them. They also like to think that this country is New York, and then everything else; so they will be shocked by your ignorance. They will also be upset because they love comments like, "Oh, that's so cool you from New York! What a fun city." Let them get all worked up, and then laugh and walk away.

Ok, so I read this piece and I decided to take action last night with some douchy dude hitting on my friend.
ReplyDeleteScenario: San Diego is full of Philly people who expect you to love the Eagles as much as they do. Fortunately for me, the eagles were destroyed last night setting off a wave of drunk Eagles fans looking to take out their anger.
At about 12:30 AM, this dude started hitting on my friend. A bald man, clad in an Eagles jersey creepin on girls is always a unique if not anuncomfortable site to see. Upon introducing himself to me, I informed him of my origin of Cleveland, OH. He responded proudly that he was from Philly as if I didn't already know that.
After hearing he was from Philly, I decided to mess with him by giving him a blank stare and asking him "Philadelphia? Never heard of that place!" To which he replied, "Seriously, you're from hicktown Ohio and even I know where Cleveland is!" I then said, "Sorry man, I just have never heard of Philadelphia before, must be a small and quaint place or something."
After this last comment, the blood began to rush to his face as he became increasingly annoyed and pissed off. My friend started to laugh and the bald man in the Eagles jersey began to give me scathing looks due to my apparent ignorance.
Thereupon angering the bald philly dude, I then wished him a good night and told him that I hope the Eagles get a great pitcher this off season.
Nicely done Chuckley
