Titled by someone who doesn't actually watch Doctor Who... as the Weeping Angels can only move when not observed, and not the moment you look at them...
Call me a sourpuss, but this is just mean spirited and dumb. My mom gets the shakes and starts crying uncontrollably when she's spooked like this. I'd report anyone who did this to strangers in a heartbeat
I've punched my own kids when they startled me. Growing up, I had a brother who used to scare me all the time, so my reflex now is to swing. & Yes, they'd accidentally startled me, & were warned
I've never understood the acceptance of "scare pranks". It's only a matter of time before they run into some one who's fight instinct is stronger than their flight. And people will blame them for instinctually reacting on basic survival mechanisms bred into us over millions of years of evolution.
yeah the reaching out to grab people (who didn’t touch first) seems pretty sketch. one guy did that to my (then 14 y/o) sister with anxiety once. that ended up not being a fun time for anyone involved.
This is a harmless prank and funny, but yeah: I’m a veteran and I might have some mild PTSD. My friends don’t prank me because my immediate reaction is defense.
There's one in Dublin. nickxar on youtube. Is much nicer, he doesn't jump out at folks like this. Just a small movement, but it's still enough to startle people.
Apparently I'm incredibly light footed and stealthy for a fat chick. I've scared or startled family members and coworkers more times than I care to remember. Though it was funny when it was my brother.
I scare the shot out of people energy day at work. Hel, I've literally walked up to someone staring towards me and had them freak. I really don't understand how that works.
My partner gets so easily startled, she can get jumpscared just by her re-entering a room and me being in another part of the room than before. My love...we live together for 7 years, we're the only two people here, you gotta get used to me moving through the apartment.
Oof she would hate to work/live with me, even tho I'm a fat bastard, I walk super softly because I don't want to bother my neighbours 😃 my current work friends get a heart attack once in a while, since I "suddenly appear" behind them after they turn around and back to me.
Oh my goodness, same! I didn't know I walked super soft until I could judge where my fiance was in the apartment by how loud her walk was. I had been startling coworkers for a while, but I thought that had more to do with working in a loud factory than my gait :P
SimpDaddyDee
yeah, people would react this way no matter how you were disguised, if you suddenly lunge out to grab their junk like that.

She bounced boobily

I love scare videos. They're my guilty pleasure

Is he allowed to do that? That could be a statue-tory offense.

Now you've done it. Anything that has the image of an angel becomes an angel. You have turned all our computers into weeping angels!

I see that and raise you Nickxar in Dublin! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU8gvnRP8YcqDZwthyJmzbxNWK1QH1OXZ not as much jumping up, but still very effective.

As someone who does living statue: this is a good way to get punched in the face.
AgainstMethod
Deservedly so. He's not just startling people with the fact that he's a person. He's aggressively jumping towards them with his arms outstretched.

I was prepared for him, setup the group i was with by making them cross the street to him

i take all my friends to be scared by the bushman when they come visit me in sf

I think Bushman passed a year or two back.

If you have ever accidentally done this to someone, you know the fright is real.
CatskinnerKeen
I've done this for pay. It is FUN but, now and then, you're going to get punched.

I once thought that a woman watching clothes was a mannequin, my soul nearly left my body when she suddenly moved 😃 she was confused.

That does indeed sound very strange

It's super weird. I can be calling people's names from afar and they still get surprised when I get within a few meters of them.
KnifeKnut
Sounds like you are one of the more benign SCP entities.
bannatoosmallforscale
Happens to me too. I think we’re just one of those people that seems to blend into the background

I'm just under 2 meters I really shouldn't be unnoticeable.

This is exactly my gf and I. She is so jumpy, and I walk very quietly.
