People can be stranger than fictional characters. I had this classmate who would always try to get everyone's attention with ridiculous stunts like cutting his hair during History or trying to fit his head into the toilet before English. He succeeded. But at the expense of earning himself a lot of crazy nicknames.

Earlier this month, Redditor LordP asked other users:" What's legal but if you do it, you still look like a psychopath?" and their post went viral, getting over 46K upvotes and nearly 20K comments, many of which prove that the boy I told you about isn't the only lunatic. Just because you can doesn't mean you should!

    Once my hubby didn't manage to finish his coffee before we went to work so he took cup and saucer with him when we left home. The crazy thing is: we get to work by bike and he's really good at driving free-handed. So he rode his bike with the saucer in one hand and his coffee in the other as if this was the most normal thing in the world. The people looked at him as if he was an alien. I've never seen so many huge eyes... :D

    A manager I once had been reading a “how to manage people” book, which ended up with him telling me I was doing a good job, shaking my hand normally, then just standing still for 30 seconds, still holding my hand, in complete silence, staring directly into my eyes. Was supposed to be a reassuring show of dominance or some such s**t, but it was just weird and creepy.

    Asked teenager to mow the lawn for days. Had to run errands and said I want that lawn cut before I come home. Neighbor across the street called me while I was out, and by that time it was dark and there was a light rain. She was laughing and said "Just wanted you to know your kid is mowing the lawn in the dark with a flashlight and its raining". She also said "My kids used to do stuff like that too". Never ratted out neighbor, thanked teenager for mowing the lawn and came home with requested snacks. A win all the way around.
