Honk if you see me!

Title: Honk if you see me!



Target Audience: Your driver for the time being as well as an unsuspecting patron



Offensive Threat: medium-high



Scheme: I used this one last night, and it almost got me into trouble because we got stuck in the snow and it was pretty awkward. Anyway, this is an easy, low pressure shenanigan that anybody can pull. The only prerequisite to this prank is you need to be sitting shotgun. When your driver is chauffeuring you, all you need to do is honk their horn at people you see. In the past I have honked my friends horn (that's what she said) at students walking to class, joggers, and last night some irritated guy trying to shovel his car out of the snow. When you honk at these unsuspecting people, awkwardness is sure to ensue. I am still waiting for the day when the person being honked at comes up to the car asking what the driver needs, and the driver blames it on me. At that point I will call the driver a liar, and pin all the blame back on them, and watch as the awkwardness erupts.



Why It’s Annoying: For the person being honked at, it will be extremely uncomfortable for them, because they are unsure what they did to merit being called out by an automobile. The driver will be very uncomfortable too, because 'they' just honked at some innocent bystander for no good reason. Playing the blame game is key to a successful annoyance here.
