"Are you going to pick rock, paper, or scissors?"
piemaster3200
That last one is true I met T.I and all I remember about him is how cold his hands where.

Ever wanted to clear Grand Central Terminal?! Just take out a gun! (this is a joke btw guys, pls don't do this)
thevortexmaster
Can I hold up a dollar coin? Dollar bills don't exist here
NoCheez4u
This made me yawn -.-
mycatToastwasafatasshole
I don't think the Dollar Auction would work with a "group of friends". Maybe in a Teacher/Students setting.
RosettaShaw
Are there really people in Grand Central Station who don't try looking the direction they are going?
whoeveryoulike
pure bullshit..at least in New Jersey...none of these tactics will work...you'd probably get your ass kicked for at least 3 of them..
StTriniansHeadBoy
So we're to believe that if you're looking where you're going then you'll never have anybody in your way? 1/2
StTriniansHeadBoy
2/2 If everybody always looks to see where everybody else is going, then why does anybody ever get in anybody's way?
haruspex
It reduces people in your way, doesn't prevent it entirely
highevolutionary
I just like the colours in this post.
boomer0001
The yawning isn't true. It can be passed through walls
amynanamouse
Dollar Auction assumes I have 3+ friends...
amynanamouse
And a dollar.
MacDs2frontteeth
i yawned reading the "yawn trick" and the kid sitting across from me yawned too so
randolphjcarter
I actually started using the 'Path Finder' the last time this was posted and it actually works a fucking treat.
acranus
Just act like you are scratching the back of your head and put your elbow out in front of you. People don't want to get elbow to the face.
StTriniansHeadBoy
I feel that how well the Dollar Auction works is inversely proportional to the intelligence of the people being asked to bid.
ImguriansFillMySaltReservoir
Whoever came up with the broccoli trick has never met a child in all their life. "Do you want 2 or 5 broccoli?" "NOOOO! I DON'T WANT ANY!"
Bobloblaw1129
Does that work with "rock, paper, scissors, shoot"? Or just "rock, paper, scissors"?
Reportable
So for the first one, if the perosn is telling me how there mother died, and they say my word, I should smile?
mattbl
For the dollar auction my friends would just bid 3 cents, 2 cents, and 1 cent then split the dollar.
popemorganCDXX
My wife does the talk and pile to me all the time

The path finder one is a lie. Who makes eye contact in nyc?

Most people will dig a shoulder into your gut before moving out of your path of travel
showstoppa77
I'll take 5 broccoli every time
ModusPonens
Broccoli is awesome. I love its cool flavor
ISleptWithSomeoneFromImgurAndAllIGotWasThisStupidUsername
"Hey, Katie, how's your mom doing after chemo?" "Oh thanks fo-" "ROCK PAPER SCISSORS! HAHA I WIN AGAIN KATIE YOU FOOL!"
EmergencyAustralian
I hope you were nodding as well
ImScOtTmAlKiNsOnAnDIGoTdIaBeTeS
Bahahaha that's a knee slapper
mycatToastwasafatasshole
For the stalker, that won't work with a sociopath, they don't do empathetic signals, like yawning.
artsystuff
The broccoli one is Politics 101. It's so easy to get people to agree with whatever you want, just offer something worse along with it.
CausticLemonEnema
My head would fly off my shoulders if I nodded everytime my GF said "like". I started openly counting them on my fingers instead.

How to be a Sociopath: 101
pineapplepuppy
OneFoodPlease
in fairness, these types of tricks are good for people with poor social skills. I mean, not THESE. These are bullshit. But in general.
Kavrae
What does any of this have to do with being a sociopath?
StonerCatJay
You could say because sociopaths are known for being able to manipulate people, but this isn't that bad
mikesayshey
Nah I'll wing it
Gidyup
Hopefully not in a "Hey! Hold my beer" kind of sense.

GermanShepherdMasterRace
As someone in sales, I use most if these regularly. Mirroring, assumption selling, soft closing. It's a lot of fun
Dontyouforgetitdirt
What is assumpstion selling and soft closing?
GermanShepherdMasterRace
Assumption selling is telling the client what you're going to do vs. Asking "how does that sound?" Soft closing is getting g the client to
GermanShepherdMasterRace
Say yes indirectly. So I tell them what I'll do then ask a question like, what is your address. By answering the question they are agreeing
NationalAeronauticsAndSpaceAdministration
I can say for near scientific fact some of these arnt true.
Blue5679
The yawning one
simulationlife
Cog psych PhD here; IMO they won't be sure fire but all of these should work at least a little.
GermanShepherdMasterRace
Which ones?
NationalAeronauticsAndSpaceAdministration
Believe the majority of them. Maybe one or two have a general idea behind it but isn't always true. 1st is BS I know that as I'd choose rock
Valondra
I can say for near scientific fact. Followed quickly by that factual scientific word we all use in factual science. "Believe"
whoopsywoo
Nah, its worked for me many times. Its anntadotal but trust me.
Kavrae
The "rock" thing is also circumstantial at best. If you choose rock but 99 others would choose scissors, then the theory is sound.
PostMoThoin
Pretty scientific
Valondra
100% success rate tho
Kavrae
Sorry, but some of them are real. Pathfinding, dollar auction, and broccoli trick I can certainly confirm. "Talk and Pile" seems plausible
derek04jim28
"Talk and Pile" works really well, I use it all the time, and have it used against me
definitelynotawolf
I just tested it with three different coworkers each one picked scissors
NationalAeronauticsAndSpaceAdministration
The fuck? Huh... I'll try it too. Still, most of them are BS.
definitelynotawolf
I think it's because "scissors" is the last word they heard and they hadn't had time to think
VertigoMonkey
I think most people tend to throw scissors for their first throw or when distracted because that's typically the last word. Recency affect
NationalAeronauticsAndSpaceAdministration
I'd choose rock since it's the easiest to form.
VertigoMonkey
Totally. It's more the idea that it's *more likely* that the average person will throw scissors in that situation, but no guarantee.
faerieflyinfree
I get weirded out if their hand is warm. I'd rather have a cold hand.
itsybitsyspider
Cold hands are acceptable where I live depending on the time of year. Just means you've just been outside.
Grant0
Warm & dry's fine, but sweaty handshakes are the ick.
TheCreamster
What about cold and sweaty?
Grant0
A clammy handshake is just as bad if not worse than hot & sweaty.
