Clicking the “X” next to “like Mitt Romney” suggestions on Facebook and clicking “misleading” when it asks me why.
Your turn!
It’s a riff on this line of xkcd comics, in case anyone is wondering.
When approached by a stranger who thinks we’ve met (happens way too often) I always do the same thing. I give them a dead eye stare, and ask, “You ever done time?”
Some people get really freaked out. Some people go on to become friends of mine.
ETA: Let the record show, I’ve never done time, unless you count my first (and last) marriage.
After someone I’m talking to gets a phone call, and stops to talk for a few minutes, I ask
them if it was a wrong number.
*and I think about “my hobby” comments alot. I wish XKCD did them more often.

When I’m in a public place, if somebody walks in, looks around, and starts waving at somebody behind me, I smile and wave back. They usually get a nicely confused look on their faces. If they don’t, I stand up and start to walk over to them, at which point they usually panic.
I go into Games Workshops stores and ask them if they have the new MageKnight expansion.
When driving with my sister, or sometimes others, I like to wave and smile freakishly at random pedestrians who have made eye-contact with me, as if I know them and haven’t seen them in a long time.
A vast majority smile and wave back. It brings me a bit of happiness.
I still enjoy muttering to myself in a crowded elevator and thumping my head moaning “Stop It! Get Out Of My Head!”
Really clears the elevator out quite nicely.
I’m stealing this one.
While someone is observing me, I sometimes pause in what I’m doing, look thoughtful for a moment, then let a slow smile cross my face. If they ask me about it, I tell them, “Oh, nothing” or “Never mind” in the most faux-innocent tone I can muster.
I get a dog leash & collar and walk down the street with it dragging behind me. If someone asks where the dog is I get sad and tell them he had to go live on a farm.
I make the jedi door-opening hand gesture in front of automatic doors. It always works, too – the Force is strong with this one!
