Just that, nice and lighthearted. I sometimes beep and at random people I don't know as I'm driving and wave enthusiastically as if I know them. Their reactions are so funny sometimes, especially the ones who wave and look totally confused 😂

Use a Sharpie to amend product packaging. Like with the "motivational" text they've got on Coke cans at the moment, I've changed "What better time for us to start over than now" to "What better time for us to start ovulating than now".

I do this too! I've currently got 'Gay Leaves' and 'Arse Sea Salt' in the cupboard!

That's brilliant - it seems we are the only 3 who do stuff like this 🤣

When my DH is making dinner, every now and again when he turns his back to it to get a knife and fork or some other necessity, I hide his plate in the cupboard. He figures out it is me in about 3 seconds flat but the look of confusion he has for an instant when he turns back and his pie and chips has disappeared, fills my heart with joy. Works just as well with a cup of tea when he takes his tea bag to the bin. I'm sure I had a life once.

Sometimes I pull my own finger.

My DSD went through a phase of not sleeping. We would come down in the morning to find the fridge contents gift wrapped. Even eggs.
We now have a vacuum packer, so we pack random things to see what will happen. Cheese is good, especially soft ones like Brie. We found out that Boursin doesn’t vacuum pack well...

One day the little swine gift wrapped my motorbike.

Moving the cardboard letters in craft shops around to make rude words.

TheChip · 23/02/2021 16:11

I make odd arm and leg movements when going up and down the stairs. Sometimes I flap my arms on the way down as if im a bird flying.

I have a habit of saying "beep beep" to people instead of excuse me. I didnt even realise until an ex told me how embarrassing it was.

Quite embarrassing really when I add on that I am I my thirties 😁

Emptybox · 23/02/2021 16:18

Ah! I’m in my 50’s. Nobody would ever believe I’m the one writing ‘arseholes’ in cardboard letters in the craft shop...

Snowymcsnowsony · 23/02/2021 16:24

I pretend I can't see ddog waiting for me to open the back door (which she has managed to open for the 6 years we have lived here) .. She then climbs onto the picnic table. And presses he face to the kitchen window - until it is all squashed!!
Never fails to make me laugh!

FuckyouCovid21 · 23/02/2021 16:26

A little bit similar to yours OP, but when another driver thanks me for letting them out, you know with a little hand wave, I wave enthusiastically back.

When I was getting ready to go out of an evening with my DP, I'd backcomb my hair into what looked like a lion's mane and say "ready" whilst walking into the living room

Regularly empty the hole punches into my colleagues going home shoes - brightens my day.

Re-arranging the letter mugs in Tesco to spell 'cunt'

CounsellorTroi · 23/02/2021 16:33

Going upstairs on all fours. Don't fancy coming down that way though.
Blowing up my washing up gloves.

LizzieBirmingham · 23/02/2021 16:39

Every now and then I’ll tell my husband in a serious voice that I have something I have to tell him and then when he looks at me in concern I sing the chorus of Galantis’s Peanut Butter Jelly. Drives him round the bend Grin

YesPleaseMary · 23/02/2021 16:40

I have conversations with my cat. Only she can’t talk so I have to do her bits, which I do, in a silly voice.

RickJames · 23/02/2021 16:41

Draw faces on things.

IAmJackieWeaver · 23/02/2021 16:43

We have a write on board on our fridge for stuff to add to the shopping list.

I write items on it spelled deliberately incorrectly.

I'm easily amused

RedRec · 23/02/2021 16:45

Am guessing this will be deleted, but I pretend to struggle with Sam Smith''s pronouns when talking to my 17 year old daughter. If they comes on the radio I say something like "oh haven't heard they for a while. Was wondering what them was up to". I play the part of the boomer I technically am, and she plays the part of the long suffering woke teen, exasperated by her out of touch mother. Cracks us both up though. Me especially.

TeeBee · 23/02/2021 16:56

Hide round corners and scare the living daylights out of my teenagers.

myBumJuiceSmellsLikeRoses · 23/02/2021 17:05

Add random stuff to the shopping list like cat fud (haven't got a cat), choc-lit, loads of gin.
Oh no, loads of gin is normal....

ElsieMc · 23/02/2021 17:12

My friend used to alter labels at the shop she worked in, changing all the sheepskin rugs to sheepskin bugs as in "care of your new sheepskin bug..." The owner was not impressed. I was mystified to receive a leaflet in the post about said bugs. The final straw was her dressing the shop mannequins in rude and offensive gear when they were meant to be wearing outdoor waterproof hiking ensembles.

Peterbear · 23/02/2021 17:12

Omg these are brilliant! So glad so many other people are a bit bonkers - I have long chats with the cat which I find hilarious- also do stupid voices for people when I have stopped to let them in or cross the road.also have a fake cat poo that comes out once in a while much to daughters annoyance😂🤪

HighlandCowbag · 23/02/2021 17:17

I've found that if I shove my bum down on my computer chair and fart, I get really long squeaky ones and they make me laugh louder than they should.

I also jump out and scare the kids or dh. And we have chickens and I make chicken noises at them that sometimes they answer.

I do this too!
TeeBee · 23/02/2021 17:56

My OH and I share a shopping list app. So if I'm shopping he'll start adding little love messages to the list. I'll add things like 'big dog's cock' or 'massive hairy fanny'. He'll give me a full report when he gets home on why they were out of big dogs cock this week.
