What's the most outrageous stunt you remember someone pulling?

This is my grandmother's super passive-aggressive one:

I don't remember what kind of cake it was, but my grandmother made my grandfather a specific cake for his birthday every year for some 50 plus years. It was a specialty and he always thanked her, but didn't eat his. At some point, it came out that the reason he didn't eat it was because he hated that cake.

A year or 2 later when discussing plans for his birthday, my mother was out shopping with my grandmother as she began to pick up the ingredients for the cake, and she turned to her and said "I don't know if you're aware, but he actually doesn't like that cake". Grandma replied: "Yes, I know". This
left my mother so stunned speechless she was never able to bring the topic up again - but it's now become a famous family story!

One man sees things and says "why?" - but I dream things that never were and I say "why not?"

hmmm... well, not that outrageous (more just obnoxious :) but me and my friends were at the mall a while back, and my friend Jared and I were walking past the makeup section in Macy's, and Jared started playing with this Elizabeth Arden blush. So, one of the workers walked up to him and asked him what he was doing, and he goes, "Are YOU Elizabeth Arden??" and he just had this awed expression on his face. The lady told him to stop playing with stuff, at which point he ran over to me and said, "Hey Rachel, do you want to meet Elizabeth Arden? She's right over there!" I forced him to leave before we got kicked out...

Unfortunately, a little while later, in the dress department, Jared was being obnoxious again, and this lady (who didn't work there) walked up to us and said, "You know, this is NOT a place to play. If you want to act like a bunch of 5-year olds, go find a sandbox to play in, this isn't a place to play!" So Jared looks at her and goes, "Fine lady, maybe I will." Then the woman threatened to call the manager and get us kicked out, so we dragged Jared out of the store once again...

And that's about it for Macy's...
Maybe later I'll get into all of Jared's Wal-Mart stories :)

Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
