Step 1Staring

Staring
You should probably start with this. While your victim is near or talking to you stare at something stationary, preferably a wall. This will make people feel slightly uncomfortable and prepares them for the next step.
Note: This will take a little bit of time to work and you may have to repeat it to make yourself seem permanently weird.

One time, I was talking somebody who worked at a tanning salon, I asked her if somebody could die if your in one for too long, the I asked if it was possible to get locked inside of the beds so you couldn't get out... Sadly, you can't... One time, I was at my friend Graduation party, and I started following her sister (who is a year younger than me, and is one of my friends). I just followed her, and acted like I was in love with her... always standing about 3 feet behind her, smiling, and staring at her... It creeped her out alot...

Another great method that works every time is to make "eye contact" with the top of someone's ear. They'll think you're trying to look them in the eye while conversing, but they will never actually make eye contact with you. It works very well if they're a new acquaintance, because they have no way of knowing you're screwing with them.

Nothing like standing "too close" to creep people out. At least here in the US. Just stand a little too close to some one. If you are too close in your mind, you are probably too close in theirs. I would do this to my professors in college (after Psychology 101.) Dumb profs were so used to standing alone in front of an audience that it didn't take much to creep them out. Hahaha. Yes, I passed all my classes.

Aw man this reminds me of band camp last year, every night I would walk around in my boxers (we had 4 people to a dorm) and stare at myself in the mirror for like 15 minutes. Then I would just yell loud and deep (like death metal and stuff) and all the guys would freak out. Finally at the end of the week I just stood there and stared out the window for like 20 minutes, my friend was like Dan... dude. And then I jumped at him and yelled he fell off his chair and another kid sitting on his bed jumped I swear to god 3 feet. Then the kid that was on the bed tried to sleep in the hallway It took us like 45 min. to get him back in the room. This year I'll bring my camera and try and record some stuff.

In the spring time, ring a ding time... You know, having a steel core, by default, does not make ammunition armor piercing. The core must be of hardened steel. However, because of the danger of breech rupture with the barrel filled with water, modern firearms are considered a poor choice for hunting squid.

In addition to staring, you might try making slightly "odd" eye contact. Instead of looking at someone's eyes when talking to them, stare at their ear. They may attempt to move to the left (or right) to center themselves in your line of sight, or become confused/creeped-out in general. A good way to mess with people!

Don't forget to stand in front of the elevator doors and face the people in it mumbling to yourself
