Things to Do in Public

Just so you know, the public will hate you if you do any of these.

Draw crazy faces on each and every egg, then wait till someone opens the box and sees the faces.

Whether you're in Walmart, at McDonald's, or just some crowded area, there are always pranks to play on strangers. If you're a kid you might get away with them though (maybe). Whisper and shout and sing things to anybody who is forced to listen. Actually, maybe don't.
