View Full Version : Oddest thing you have made someone do on trust

Got me wondering the other day when I explained I got my previous boss to put his iPhone in the freezer for a while because I said so and he trusted me.
Anyone else got someone to do something odd (for a good reason rather than convincing someone that an electric fence isn't on etc)
I convinced a total stranger to go through a tried and tested (but quirky) cure for Hiccups in a shop in front of about 20 other people. :-)
It worked... and they didn't say thanks.. just walked off.

Tuh, ingrates. That's pretty cool, what's the method? I usually opt for holding my breath (and swallowing if holding my breath fails)

Anything distracting works, or anything that involves using your diaphragm (below your lungs, not the safe sex aid)

Not odd, but I told Paul the 6th's mate that if he booked a motorcycling trip to Thailand and did the Mae Hong Son loop with the company I went with then he would love it, even though it is VERY expensive.
He has duly booked, and by coincidence is going to be doing it the same week as me. So if he hates me he can beat me up there and then, but if he loves it he can buy me a Chang Beer for my recommendation.

I had a stalker for a while. He'd ring me at all hours and write me letters. He was also blind which says a lot about how pretty I am. Or not.

a diaphram is NOT a "safe sex aid".
unless of course you regard life to be a sexually transmitted disease. :p
It may prevent pregnancy, but it wont stop you catching a nasty.
i'd rather have an STD than kids as most STD's you can get rid of kids stick around for life.

At least the NHS pays for aids treatment.

I've got to ask.
Why would you put an iphone in the freezer?

I've got three although if I tell you, they'll not work on you when you do have hiccups. they have to be fresh to you.
The first one, just ask the person with hiccups "When was the last time you saw a white horse". They'll think about it and before they answer, they'll realise the hiccups have gone. next time round change the animal and the colour. this works really well.
Number 2 and even better, you have to lead them through this one miming the actions.
Tell them to pick up a phone and dial the operator. They mime doing this. When the operator answers get them to say "Hello? Operator? I have the Hiccups" and then get them to put the phone down.
Hiccups gone. I used this one in the example above in the shop.
final way is to drink water from the far side brim of a glass. So you have to bend over and put the far rim to your top lip and drink.
Hiccups gone.
Simples :-)

OK, iPhone in the freezer was because there was a known fault on some early 3G handsets where the wifi would overheat and drop out. The proof to get O2 to replace it was to cool it down, if the wifi worked longer and then dropped out it was close enough to proving it that they would swap it out. It was only in there half an hour, nothing excessive.
Berlin, never heard those cures but I can well imagine them working, as you say though knowing them kinda stops them working as well. Neat though!
