However, some of them have taken this daily irritation as an opportunity to get creative and mess with the people creeping them out.

And the results are hilarious.

It's hard not to imagine the guy who fell for this ruler trick looking up an average size, doubling it, and then thinking he could create mystery and intrigue by spouting out "what u wanna see?"

Not that it'll help matters that much if they get specific, but it's probably time to change tactics if they see this cat enough to give it a cute nickname.

For instance, not asking strangers for nudes is a solid plan.

Her first answer made it clear that she wasn't interested. Just move on, dude.

At first I thought he was just copying and pasting the same message over and over, but judging by how the question marks move, he's actually typing it each time.

Before long, she'll probably be able to beat her high score of time spent before they realize what's going on. Sadly, the only prize is a declining faith in humanity.

Something about Jon's simple "Damn" and disappointed emoji just gets me every time I see it.

I don't even know how someone would actually answer that question. Like, if I said Canada, where would that fit on the scale?

Unless there's a website dedicated to naughty thermostats that I'm not aware of, it looks like somebody should've just realized when to admit defeat.

And dude, maybe you shouldn't have led with Petco. It doesn't exactly scream "luxury leather collar." It you're going to try this, at least namedrop the fanciest, most expensive pet store you can think of.

Apparently, that's not what he wanted, but he didn't have much hope of ending up as anything but her "back then" anyway.

Nothing lets you know you've done your job well quite like getting blocked by the guy who wasn't welcome in the first place.

You've already matched. Just introduce yourself and maybe give a few fun facts about you that don't include measurements. There's only one correct response to this guy's question, and she got it right on the first try.

I'll give Taylor some credit here: they spelled "you're" right and everything is capitalized. That's a diamond in the rough.

But I can't get rid of the mental image of them sitting and staring at their phone as Christmas slowly ticks by.

If there's room to give you what you literally asked for without it being what you obviously want, it's time to rewrite the wish.

Note that this strategy only works on genies.

If it starts with "roses are red," a limerick is going to beat it every time. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

That line is classically awful, but if you're trying to put a new spin on it, this is not the correct way to do it.

On the other hand, compared to some of the other listed here, his question is pretty straightforward.

Otherwise, that first reply should've at least inspired some kind of reaction. Even a "WTF" would've at least demonstrated that they bothered to read it.

If we have learned anything from all the hilarity shared above, it's that these guys are not as smooth as they think they are.

Just wanting to hook up is fine, but when you're typing out that first message, please remember the rhino.
