One of my coworkers does this all the time. She will send an email which is obviously intended for only her supervisor to the entire call center. I would like to say that it is because she is older and not very computer savvy (which is the case) except that she seems to do just fine gossiping via chat – so one must assume she does know how to use our communication tools, she just doesn’t _care._

_sigh_
Another coworker did this to me just this morning. Again, not because she has a sense of humour – she is ancient and I honestly think our remote control scares her. She asked me (pointing at the remote which was literally 2" from the end of her finger) “how do you use that to change channels? I want to see what the weather is supposed to be tonight.” I just gave her a weather report based on what I had just seen online instead – to be honest, she scares me. She’s the coworker that coughs up a lung all day long, I don’t ever get too close to her, just in case whatever it is she has is contagious. Yeh, I am a horrible person.
Gods, this speaks volumes for the people I work with, eh?
As for my fun little quirks, I always stick my tongue out at the cameras – I know the guys in IT get a good giggle over it.
In stores, I like to point out the mannequins’ boobies to my 8 year old son – he’s a boobman, and it gives him a chance to blush and giggle.

Answer every question you’re asked with a random number and a nod or a chuckle.

Work on your research project for the Ministry of Silly Walks.
Stand in the middle of the sidewalk and look up. See how many people you can get to stop and look up too.

That was done as part of a TV show about herding mentality.
Someone would stand and point at the side of a sky scraper. Before long there was a huge crowd of people standing and looking in that direction, trying to spot what everyone else was looking at.
Humans :rolleyes:

Walk up to a stranger and hug them. Yell “We are the same McLeod! We are brothers!”
Wear a space suit to Bed, Bath And Beyond. Tell them you’re looking for “beyond”.
Sing in public. Encourage people to sing along.
Hand out Cthulhu pamphlets at street corners.

In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that one of my cats did that to me once. He was sitting on the back of my armchair and looking up, obviously fascinated by something on the ceiling that was moving, judging from the way he kept moving his head. I glanced up, expecting to see a fly or moth, but there was nothing there. I ended up standing next to the chair staring at the ceiling for several minutes before I finally figured out that he was following the light from the TV which was being reflected in the crosspieces of the suspended ceiling.

Cats have a habit of this type of behavior: My cat recently was staring wide-eyed at an insignificant point near the door to the room. The expression on the cat’s face was one of complete terror (or possibly delight).
It always makes me think of ghosts. The cat is seeing a departed relative who is standing in that part of the room which she is staring at.

Coat yourself in chocolate.
Get a banana. Get a cell phone. Make a banana phone.
Get a megaphone. Stand on the street preaching that ‘Jesus really really likes you, but is not ready for a commitment.’
Wear a smiley mask. Change to other smiley masks as your mood changes.
