“What Do You Think Would Be The Funniest Thing To Ask A Stranger?” (30 Answers By Our Community)

Most people avoid awkwardness or awkward situations because they make them feel uncomfortable. But some people like to create awkward and cringy situations on purpose. When that interaction is observed from a distance, most of the time it will be perceived as funny.

So, if you are one of those people who love or would like to experiment with awkwardness, share what would be the funniest approach to a stranger. I myself have been walking up and asking: “what is your favorite flavor of hair” - but it’s starting to get old…

“What Do You Think Would Be The Funniest Thing To Ask A Stranger?” (30 Answers By Our Community) I've always wanted to run up to a complete stranger in hysterics and yell, "Whatever you do, DO NOT look at their eyes!" and run away. I don't know who the "their" is referring to, and neither does the stranger. I just wanna cause unnecessary stress because I'm a menace.

“What Do You Think Would Be The Funniest Thing To Ask A Stranger?” (30 Answers By Our Community) Sit on a park bench and wait for people to sit with you. "It's done. Do you have the money?" - Not original from me; saw it either on YT, Pinterest, or BP.

Print this page out, put it in an envelope marked "Top Secret" and sit down on a park bench. Slide the envelope towards a stranger. Nod politely, then walk away.

“What Do You Think Would Be The Funniest Thing To Ask A Stranger?” (30 Answers By Our Community) Sometimes I imagine myself asking a stranger, "Hey, whatever song you have in your head right now, sing it out loud!"
And then they break into the whole song and dance, musical style haha.

Never actually dared to, though.

“What Do You Think Would Be The Funniest Thing To Ask A Stranger?” (30 Answers By Our Community) Do you like pet chickens?

I normally ask this and they are confused and then say they like to eat chicken, but I say back "Do you like living, walking, breathing chickens?" And then they get creeped out.

“What Do You Think Would Be The Funniest Thing To Ask A Stranger?” (30 Answers By Our Community) I know this is old, but I’ve always loved the idea of asking a stranger who says anything to me, “Can you see me?” in a panicky voice and run away.

You can also yell, "Marco!" at a group of strangers at the store.

My family yells "Marco" at the store all the time when we split up/get separated. I have heard other people do it a couple of times too. I always tell "Polo!" back. This is even funnier if they are a couple of aisles over and it goes on for a couple of rounds.

“What Do You Think Would Be The Funniest Thing To Ask A Stranger?” (30 Answers By Our Community) Assuming you're outside, ask if they know where the waiting room is. Or the front desk. 'Do you work here?' - is a good one as well.
