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!

Entering an elevator full of people and not turning to face the door
I've done this on many occasions! I had no idea it was considered weird.
One of the politicians in our country bit into a hotdog sideways and in the middle, like a sandwich.
It was so weird that it was in the newspapers the next day. Slow news day obv, but made him look like a nutjob.
Digging holes in your backyard at night.
Just doing some night digging.
I was serving a very green, Chinese businessman at the pub and he ordered a burger and after a few seconds of sizing it up, stabbed it in the center with his fork and started eating it like a candy apple. I asked him if he was good, and he shrugged and said "sorry. I haven't figured out how to eat these yet"
Going out to the gym or something and using a Hershey's syrup bottle as a water bottle
Having carpet in your kitchen or bathroom
Lived in a house with kitchen carpet once, never again. Talk about impractical.
Hissing at people on the bus so they don’t sit next to you
walking around in public with a glass of water from home
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
Eating a onion whole, like an apple
This is what will happen once you got Covid. No sense of taste. So gobble it up while you can.
Run while keeping your arms perfectly still at your sides
Put toothpaste directly into your mouth. Then brush teeth.
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.
The urge to make a sudden loud noise and frighten him would have been overwhelming 😅
Standing next to someone at a urinal even when there is an open one at the opposite end of the row.
When someone is holding a door open for you when a place has double doors and you just say f**k it and take the other door instead.
When you just happen to be going to the same place as the car/pedestrian in front of you. It's even creepier when it's a long distance and they look behind them and see you.
Oh god. This reminds me of a uni friend. He would pick a car on the motorway that was travelling at the speed he wanted to go and just follow it. For miles! I get worried people will think I'm following them if I happen to be going the same way as them for more than a couple of turns!
While shopping, pulling what you want out of other people's carts before they buy them.
stop responding midway thru an irl convo, but maintain eye contact
Casually eating a stick of butter during a business meeting
Eating a banana with the skin on
My boss used to apply his lip balm while making firm eye contact with me at the end of the day.
Speakerphone conversation on the bus.
Paint yourself orange, dye your hair green, then stand in a hole, and pretend you're a carrot.
Pulling your pants/underwear all the way down to pee at a men’s urinal
Sitting next to a stranger on the train, when the rest of the carriage is empty.
Putting a leash around your neck and walking yourself
Watching a video on your phone at full volume in a public place
Lifting up your shirt in public and rubbing your tummy
Writing an s from the bottom up
My 10 year old writes several letters incorrectly like this. It bothers me so much.
I was thinking the same thing about my 6 yr old! And numbers, too! She does the 4 the hardest way humanly possible.

Screaming in public at nothing except the existential dread you’re feeling.
Going to Starbucks and ordering milk with ice.
I used to order chocolate milk with ice... Sometimes I'd ask for mint so the barista wouldn't feel weird... Never did it when it was crowded.
Wearing a wedding gown everywhere. And I mean everywhere.
Using your knife and fork to slice each french fry into small dainty pieces.
Eating cereal with water
My father did this all his life insisting milk made him ill but he ate many other things that contained milk.
Watching strangers eat dinner through restaurant windows at table height.
taking the escalator facing the opposite way.
sending orange juice and coffee to random people in a restaurant at dinner.
A friend of mine eats the crust of the pizza first.
Like he eats the complete pizza crust of the whole pizza and then the "rest"
Sitting on a park bench, opening a jar of mayonnaise, and furiously eating the contents with just your bare hands.
Vacuuming your yard. A great chemical-free way to keep dandelions from spreading.
Not making any attempts to dry your hands after washing them
Putting your shoes on before the pants.
You should have large legs pants to do that. Or the NBA buttoned/"rippable" pants.
Brushing your teeth in public
Walking around in public in a bathrobe.
bite the kit kat without breaking it in half
Doing yard work at night.
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.
Eating the toppings of the pizza and leaving the bread behind
I did the opposite. Scrapped all the toppings off and only ate the dough until I was a teenager. Bread with all that delicious flavor is wonderful and nobody hesitated to accept my extra toppings. Now I scarf down the whole thing. There's nothing about pizza I don't like.
Framing photos of yourself.
Instead of holding the door open (especially at a restaurant with dual double doors) you close them right after you enter/exit the building.
Getting ready to leave the house by putting on sock-shoe-sock-shoe instead of sock-sock-shoe-shoe.
What's wrong with this? I don't want to put socks directly on the ground once I put them on.
Going into a fast food restaurant and using your own Plates and utensils

Presuming they are actually nail scissors, what's wrong about that?

Walking around a store then leaving said store without actually buying anything. I always feel so awkward when I leave a store that needed up not buying anything from.
Too bad nobody mentioned waving to random stangers as you are driving along.
That used to be common in the southern US. In rural areas it still happens. I like it. ☺️✌🏾
