To ask what you'd do first if you were invisible?

I'm such a bore. I'd go into the nearest shop and take all the scratch cards. Pour myself a cuppa and scratch the day away until I win

You can only be invisible for 24 hours in this scenario and people can still hear you

Rob a bank

Go and slap a few politicians around

My ds is disabled and goes to a specialist placement at college. I’d go with him and watch all he does because he adores being there and I’d love to see him and all his friends just once.

But, if you were invisible, you'd be completely blind!

Eh?

If you were invisible you could sneak into his house and wee on his sitting room carpet.

Show quote history

Or in his bed when he's got a girlfriend over

Go to North Korea, Iran, Somalia, all the countries I'd be too scared to travel as a lone women (or human in many cases).

Look at stuff.

Cloudhoppingdancer · 09/03/2023 22:25

I can't think of a thing I'd do. This is oddly disappointing.

But how would you get there.

My toddler believes a variation of this but I don't see where you're coming from with it as an adult.

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/03/2023 22:28

Sneak on a plane. Nick stuff from Duty Free and the carts. Sit by the in door once the doors were armed and whatever. And the thingies were cross-checked. I'd like to be in the cockpit but I'm not sure there's room.

Failing that, cargo plane.

Tramp steamer?

Right. Terrifying trying not to bump into people though.

I read the invisible man and it really wasn't fun, he ended up pretending to be visible.

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/03/2023 22:31

I've got it @Cloudhoppingdancer HAMMOCK

Hang it from the ceiling of the plane and dangle.

No bumping issues.

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/03/2023 22:32

I do agree it wouldn't actually be fun. Unless you could switch it on and off.

ProjectsGalore · 09/03/2023 22:33

@MeMyCatsAndMyBooks Matt Hancocks already beaten you to it with his WhatsApp messages!

Cloudhoppingdancer · 09/03/2023 22:35

@MrsTerryPratchett I see you'd rise to the level of the circumstances, I fear I wouldn't. Definitely a hammock.

Abcdefgh1234 · 09/03/2023 22:41

Rob a bank 🤣🤣🤣

Youdoyoubabe · 09/03/2023 22:42

As an older woman I already am quite invisible so I do whatever I like!

Babasghost · 09/03/2023 22:44

I'd kill my stalkers.
Can my fingerprints be invisible to?

Friarclose · 09/03/2023 22:45

Sneak into my exes house and get back my ds12's baby mementoes and my scan photos and some other bits which I know I'll never see again.

gettingolderandgrumpier · 09/03/2023 22:47

Because I’m really nosey I’d listen in any management meetings especially the MD then I’d go round the company and listen to whatever they are saying .

OldSkoolLikeHappyShopper · 09/03/2023 22:47

One year at Glastonbury someone I know set up a table along one of the walkways with an A4 bit of paper on it saying ‘invisibility cloaks £10’. Just an empty table and her bit of paper. She made a fucking fortune selling invisible invisibility cloaks to people off their tits.

PremiumB · 09/03/2023 22:57

I think I’d go to a racehorse yard and just enjoy the atmosphere and admire beautiful horses .
i also wouldn’t mind a look at how they organise food in restaurants and how they don’t lose lots of ingredients if people order the wrong things that day

PyongyangKipperbang · 09/03/2023 23:10

Go to the Vatican and find out all those secrets that they have kept hidden for centuries......

midlifecrash · 09/03/2023 23:10

Apropos of some threads on here atm (don’t think they’re all genuine) I would hang about over people’s shoulders whispering “you really are a CUNT aren’t you”

Dogman · 09/03/2023 23:15

Take off my bra.
Stand at the bus stop at my kids school and shout at kids who were mean and praise kids who were nice.
Go to tesco and throw a load of extra bits into the food bank bin - possibly all the veuve cliquot.
