Next time you're on the bus, try whistling quietly. I betcha someone else will start almost immediately!

Next time you are in a crowded mall, look up curiously at the ceiling...everybody else will look up, too.

And if you beep and wave at strangers while driving past, 95% will wave back.

We are of a pack mentality...

I've done that celing thing before. My best friend and I staired at the celing and within five minutes people walking by were looking up too. Then people were stoping and standing there, staring upwards. it took them thirty minutes to actually question what they were doing.

One to try at WDW.

Find a "door to nowhere" Like in one of the buildings in adventureland. Stand there. If there is more than one of you in a group, form a line. You'll be surprised how many people join your line.

HEHE... I think its the book Mousetales where the author talks about how anyone will get into a line not knowing what the line is for. His example is the Indiana Jones ride in DL when the lines used to go all the way into the hub and by that time people just got into the line not knowing what they were riding. If you asked people at the back they thought they were in a line for free pancakes. So DH and my joke is to ask eachother when waiting in a line if it was the line for pancakes or not.

TerryKitten, we actually tried it once just to see if it worked... we had abouyt 15 people in our line within 5 minutes. My 2 friends and I stood in a row and didn't talk to each other, so it was like we were strangers. Ater a while, I just said I was tired of waiting and would come back later. They staggered after me. I have no idea how long the rest waited.

There's even a play about this called Line. It's short and very funny. Each person thinks they are in line for something diff.
