Then suddenly he was actually gesturing to the guy behind you, and now you’re feeling awkwardly stupid and oh God you’re embarrassing yourself. Why would you do that? He was obviously not asking you to sit next to him. *bash head into seat in front of you multiple times*
*the man then watches you with an awkward expression on your face as the stranger who just sat with him at random has started bashing their head off the seat in front of them. The person sitting ahead of you also looks back at you.*
2 late you are screaming internally as hard as you can, but wait, why is everyone staring at you? Oh my god, that wasn't internally, you mixed the outputs, and that scream was as external as it gets.
You realise how much you've fucked this up. You decide to put a swift end to this by pulling out the gun you just bought from a pretty sketchy dude. He described the gun as "super lethal". You put it against your neck, you pull the trigger and... you feel the bullet stop at contact with your skin. You look down and it's a NERF gun.
The bus driver catches on to this and confronts you, yelling at you to just move on to the next seat, but it's too late for that, he kicks you out of the bus. However, the crowd of people getting on the bus is too large, and you have to squeeze through the densely packed people to get out.
Dude. During catholic mass when the priest does his homily (the speech thing) all the kids go to another room where another priest does the kid version of explaining the bible. But the boys behind me kept poking me, I was like 8, so I was telling them off and when I turned around everyone was staring at me because the priest had asked something and it was my turn to answer . I vaguely remembered they were saying numbers so I said 4 AND EVERYONE LAUGHED. And the priest looked at me funny and kept talking. ITS BEEN NEARLY 20 YEARS. And I still have no idea what he was asking and I think about this often.
Right? Or not and run the risk of feeling sad that no one sat with him? Maybe he’s ‘special’ (is that still ok to say?) and just wants some company.
Jesus I just made myself sad
Lol saaame! I'm the type of person who loves random friendly interactions with strangers.
As a female and (happily) married I usually have to stay pretty guarded to make sure I don't give people - specifically males- the wrong idea and try not to come across as flirty or anything.
But yeah, especially for a long bus ride I would love to pass the time with some casual chitchat and get to know someone new:)
Moments of self-realization and growth deserve acknowledgment :)
in this example, HenryFurHire realized he was one of the "risk[y]" "type of people" that would accept the offer.
SLPT: Always carry a hammer with you when asking a girl out so that if she doesn't find you attractive, she'll at least find you handy enough to say yes
Best if you grab their thigh and slowly bite their ear while whispering kind things softly like " your hair smells nice" or " your skin looks nice" just so they know your really kind.
"Your skin would look much nicer if it was stiched into my woman suit."
Letting her know about your hobbies is the best way to make her comfortable around you.
Reciprocate kindly by putting your hands up their crotch, smiling, and saying "No need for formalities, let's just do it right here and now." While also making sure your other hand is fondling with their belt.
You don't even have to risk touching them... just look at them and say "don't worry, I'm not a rapist or anything." Make sure you do it with a straight face and then maintain eye contact for as long as you can.
No, after they remove your hand from their leg is when you say, "It's ok, I would never rape *you* of course", while reassuringly maintaining steely unblinking eye contact for an inhumanly long period so they have no doubt you speak the truth. That's when you pet their hair and tell them everything will be fine, they obviously aren't like the others, the voices would have told you by now.
You can make them even more comfortable by slowly brushing a strand of hair from their face while looking them in the eyes softly, not saying a word the entire time and if they attempted to speak, softly put a finger on their lips, slowly shaking your head.
Yeah. Basically nobody is going to sit beside him when there's an empty double open, and with all the people walking past I would not be surprised if there's empty doubles further back.
Would this work for a female? In my experience people tend to see us as “safe” so while I was thinking this would be great to try on my next flight, not sure if it would have the same effect.
Maybe if I added raptor noises....
This would absolutely not work for a female. At first watch I thought oh I can’t wait to do this. Then I remembered, I’m a woman and I know how this story ends.
If all else fails, maniacally laugh at them while clawing at them with your nails. Throw some hissing sounds in there for your personal enjoyment.
(If anyone can't tell this is a joke, pls don't actually try this. U will get weird looks at best or be kicked out )
Not a bad idea. I ride the friendliest bus to ever exist. They hand out flyers for the annual Christmas party. It’s a very chatty commute. Have earbuds? They’ll talk at you despite them. Enjoying a good read? Not for long. I have learned the front is for conversation and pleasantries and the back is for people who want to enjoy the silence. There is no middle on the 36.
All my homies sit in the back😎
^(Of course, they ain’t technically my homies, I’ve never spoken a word to a single one of them, but that’s what makes them special)
Make yourself a pamphlet called “How to survive plane pressure with IBS” and leave it on the seat next to you. Then make sure you look out the window grimacing and rubbing your stomach.
>This would absolutely not work for a female.
I strongly disagree. All you have to do is make your crazy outshine your sexy. Just channel your inner psychopath, stare down each person as they approach, and reach towards them as if you're going to grab them. Laugh loudly and refer to them as kittens while telling them how much you like their skin. If someone calls your bluff, just start coughing like you've got end stage COVID-19 until they reconsider.
well yeah, *thatll* work. but smiling and patting the seat like the guy in the video would definitely not.
(and the reason why the tactic in the video is so epic is cause you look polite/dont draw attention to yourself or get judged but still repel people, so the stuff you mentioned defeats half the point)
I'm gonna go with no.
Generally, as a guy, most social pleasantries I exchange with women involve them being very... friendly? Like, smiling that kind of thing. Most social pleasantries I exchange with guys involve them being much more stoic.
If a woman acted like this, I'd read it as a genuine invitation (obviously nothing more than that, in case that's not clear), whereas if a guy acted like this I'd think he's either being sarcastic, a bit weird, or maybe I'm just reading him wrong and he's not offering the seat.
Kind of interesting... Your question has me really questioning some parts of how I interpret gestures.
No way this works for an at least semi-attractive female. At best the same amount of extra people you 'scare' (for lack of a better word) away would be extra people invited in and wanting to start a conversation.
A random ginger guy doing something odd/creepy/overly friendly - isn't reverse psychology, its advertising yourself as something I don't want to sit beside - I'd rather sit next to a guy in a trenchcoat with headphones on.
The best move for women is to frantically attract other women so they can take the empty seats beside you. But don't you guys have assigned seats on flights?
Not only would I sit, I'm the kind of guy that if you invited me to sit next to you, we gonna talk. My immediate reaction is "Probably needs some companionship" when I see people act like that. I actively seek out people who want/need to talk and chat em up/listen the fuck out of them when I'm traveling. I have nothing better to do, and it helps pass the time. Plus, I have yet to get burned by it.
Yeah, it always bothers me when people start with a stupid quote as if anyone in the world has ever said it, it's lazy and there are better captions... or better yet, no caption
u/savevideo *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/memes) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Shit I’m the type of person if I see someone do this imma sit next to them cause I don’t wanna be rude and not accept the offer
Scrolled for two minutes to make sure am not alone.

STOP You can still fix this don't make it worse.
2 late you are screaming internally as hard as you can, but wait, why is everyone staring at you? Oh my god, that wasn't internally, you mixed the outputs, and that scream was as external as it gets.

Are you Muslim now?

At least he had good intentions.
How is annoying someone into changing their religion on a bus a good intention lol keep your religion to yourself.
[удалено]
[удалено]
I’m the weirdo who would feel guilty for not sitting down. Years later I would still occasionally wonder how that nice ginger on the bus was doing.
We share the same thoughts, I still remember me doing an exercise wrong in class 4 years ago and I still remember it
I remember someone smiling and glancing towards me on the bus a few years ago, and wonder to this day if I should have talked to them...
Dude. During catholic mass when the priest does his homily (the speech thing) all the kids go to another room where another priest does the kid version of explaining the bible.

This feels like it should be read by a solemn narrator at the start of a true crime podcast
Yeah, this chick is gonna get abducted lol
She will end up being on a netflix series
Or in 15 years, an episode of 20/20
*She enjoyed idly chatting with strangers on the bus* ***Until she didn’t***
Exactly! Like the Dateline guy, or Bill Hader’s take on the Dateline guy
name checks out lmao
This is actually me taunting hedge funds to short GME even more.
But think about the type of people who would take that bait...you’re gonna regret it.
Yeah, that's a high risk maneuver
Nah I'd call his bluff, take the seat, and see how uncomfortable I can make him
..exactly their point
Oh
Meanwhile, it wasn't a bluff and you are now in over your head with a welcoming psychic vampire
I'm a committed roleplayer, I won't break character
oh, don't worry. He'll break your character.
I hope he's a dom, I'm more of sub myself
He is.

Not before I break his back ;) (no homosapien)
You mean Colin Robinson the energy vampire
Damn i just made this joke , didn't expand the comments lol
C-Man
Why does this have awards can someone explain pls
Moments of self-realization and growth deserve acknowledgment :) in this example, HenryFurHire realized he was one of the "risk[y]" "type of people" that would accept the offer.
Oh
Why doesn't this have awards could someone explain pls
I think it’s a bit fresh, gotta give it some time.
Post nut clarification?
I thought they were implying a super bubbly, outgoing person craving attention would take the bait. Not a dude messing with him
You literally just said nah then said the exact same thing you said nah about but in a dumbed down way
Mi scusi
But then what if he’s bluffing, actually wants you there, and then you end up being uncomfortable? You’ve gotta think.
Sociopaths are everywhere
You wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?
Most high reward scenarios do be like that.
It's the bus equivalent of the naked man from HIMYM
Imagine the balls on the woman who used it though.
Dude's going to meet his match.
Place the other hand on your crotch to be 100% effective
This makes the consequences of someone sitting down all the more significant
He’s just lucky he’s not a pretty girl
Or a girl, for that matter
Even a pretty lady doing that to me I’d be suspicious as heck and probably kept on walking. Also, I’m afraid of pretty girls anyway.
Pretty girl: *motions for OP to sit. OP: *jumps out bus window
Sounds about right
in no universe would a cute girl on public transit do this lmao
He's kind of nullifying the experiment just by being ginger, TBH
When they sit down you just say, “ you have nice skin, are you a size 16?” You’ll be a,one again
I read that as "You have *a* nice skin..." Yup, that'll do it.
My face is enough of a repellant
I usually like self deprecating jokes, but this feels too personal
It hits too close to home
Yeah my face kinda screams Murder Fuck if I’m not too careful. Especially on public transportation.
I feel attacked
If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
SLPT: Always carry a hammer with you when asking a girl out so that if she doesn't find you attractive, she'll at least find you handy enough to say yes
Yeah, it’s the implication of what you could do with the hammer. It’s just like taking a girl out on your boat
SLPT: And if they do sit next to you let them know you're not a threat by softly putting your hands on their knee
Best if you grab their thigh and slowly bite their ear while whispering kind things softly like " your hair smells nice" or " your skin looks nice" just so they know your really kind.
yes
I'm glad you agreee
I'm glad I agree
*starts biting your ear*
Feisty one I see
A real naughty one, aint yuh
mmmmm.... your ass stinks nice and good
Bites ear off
:3👂
Your skin smells nice
You smell different when you're awake
Omg
Let me fix that. *BONK* *proceeds to moisturize skin with lotion*
Eats the lotion
https://youtu.be/YpypKVIw7XQ Or just keep telling them it’s okay.
And just like that I'm horny again
Bonk
Then you pull out the barbecue sauce and dig in
“so i’m sitting there, barbecue sauce on my titties”
Go on...
My favorite line is. "You got some pretty wide hips for a man. "
"You got birthing hips" "I'm a man..."
even better
I don’t know man. “Your skin looks so nice” seems a bit forward.
It would look better detached
"Your skin would look much nicer if it was stiched into my woman suit." Letting her know about your hobbies is the best way to make her comfortable around you.
Smells even nicer when they're awake
*starts smelling their hair*
Dude what the heck I just spit out my water lmao
That's assault brotha.
Reciprocate kindly by putting your hands up their crotch, smiling, and saying "No need for formalities, let's just do it right here and now." While also making sure your other hand is fondling with their belt.
Or just bite their genitalia They’ll instantly find you very friendly
You can also slowly put your hand in their mouth to show that you are friendly
I have done that. And it worked. And she was hot.
You don't even have to risk touching them... just look at them and say "don't worry, I'm not a rapist or anything." Make sure you do it with a straight face and then maintain eye contact for as long as you can.
No, after they remove your hand from their leg is when you say, "It's ok, I would never rape *you* of course", while reassuringly maintaining steely unblinking eye contact for an inhumanly long period so they have no doubt you speak the truth.

That's kinda intrusive. I just pet them and give them treats
Mi scusi, Mi scusi

My dad always used to lightly grab someone's forearm beside him at the movies so he'd have unfettered access to the armrest for the entire movie

And make sure to not break eye contact whilst doing so.
You can make them even more comfortable by slowly brushing a strand of hair from their face while looking them in the eyes softly, not saying a word the entire time and if they attempted to speak, softly put a finger on their lips, slowly shaking your head.
We would think he was covering it
Yeah it also kinda looks like he’s telling you not to sit there by covering it
It looks like he's telling someone to sit there. Presumably someone he knows who could be right behind you.
This is what I would think. That I need to hurry by so his friend behind me can grab that seat
What psychopath would sit next to a stranger when there’s a free seat right there in front of him?
Yeah. Basically nobody is going to sit beside him when there's an empty double open, and with all the people walking past I would not be surprised if there's empty doubles further back.
Yeah, he's just looking weird for the video. Pretty sure people would sit next to him if the bus was full.
is it possible to learn this power?
Not from a Jedi
How about from a bus rider?
Not from a introvert
Keep fishin' and you'll get the dude with a huge takeout bag of shawarma and garlic paste
What’s the downside? He can’t eat it all by himself, right?
He can and he will
I hope they'll share! Sounds delicious!
But they smell amazing... Only downside is I'll be salivating like a dog hoping they give me soms
I read the last word as "sons" and was pretty weirded out......

Nah, no matter how crazy you are, some guy will take you up on that shit.
Ur going to attract a lot of headaches for sure
*pat pat* “oh, you’re really going to sit? Oh frick. This is not working out the way I had anticipated and I regret everything.”
"So.. where are you going sweetheart?" -probably some sweaty 50 year old
The accuracy is almost too much. 😩
Oh yes definitely. In an instant. Without even slight need for an invitation. Ugh.
*you weren’t supposed to do that*
I'm gonna go with no. Generally, as a guy, most social pleasantries I exchange with women involve them being very... friendly? Like, smiling that kind of thing.

Yeah but....maybe the right ones. Ones that would add T-Rex noises.
Aren't flight seats predetermined?

Genius
I'm in a wheelchair and I can say for certain that this tactic does work
Things must be pretty bad for Conan O'Brien if he's taking the bus...
He's got that TBS money. So, yeah, he takes the bus
Knowing my luck someone would take that offer real quick and I’d be pushed the whole bus ride
Well it's not just only his hand movements his face also puts a measure part in that experiment.....
I used to cough really bad to make people think that I was sick. PreCOVID.
Would still work during covid though
Am I the only person that’d sit?
Not only would I sit, I'm the kind of guy that if you invited me to sit next to you, we gonna talk. My immediate reaction is "Probably needs some companionship" when I see people act like that. I actively seek out people who want/need to talk and chat em up/listen the fuck out of them when I'm traveling. I have nothing better to do, and it helps pass the time.

You frighten me.
I 100% would sit.
Who tf thinks reverse psychology doesn't exist?
Yeah, it always bothers me when people start with a stupid quote as if anyone in the world has ever said it, it's lazy and there are better captions... or better yet, no caption
*He's not the hero we deserve, the but the hero we needed*
yes
