| How To Get A Friends Attention |
Step 1: Assess the Threat Level
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.
- MIA for Minutes: Your friend might just be engrossed in a captivating cat video (respect the feline overlords). A playful nudge or a well-timed meow imitation should do the trick.
- Radio Silence for Days: This requires a more strategic approach. Have they been abducted by aliens? Did they discover a hidden Narnia in their closet? Channel your inner Sherlock Holmes, but avoid the deerstalker hat – it's a fashion nightmare.
Tip: Review key points when done.
Step 2: Deploy the Attention Arsenal
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
-
The Bat-Signal of Boredom: We're not suggesting a giant neon bat symbol (although, epic points for style). Get creative! Flash a disco ball keychain, unleash a flock of trained origami pigeons, or simply yell, "Hey! Remember that time we accidentally dyed our hair purple?" Nostalgia is a powerful weapon.
-
The Hunger Games of Hangouts: Warning: May involve mild bribery. Lure your friend in with the promise of epicurean delights. Bold the following for emphasis: Pizza. Ice cream. Pie. You get the idea.
-
The Force is Strong With This One: Master the subtle art of the Jedi mind trick. Walk by muttering about a secret sale on the rarest Pokemon cards (or their favorite band's merch) – they'll come running.
Step 3: Operation: Befriend Complete
- Celebrate Victory (and Avoid Future Neglect) Now that you have their undivided attention, undermine (just kidding... or am I?) their newfound social butterfly ways with hilarious stories and outrageous dares. They'll be begging for your company in no time.
Remember: A strong friendship is a two-way street. If your friend's constantly distracted, there might be a deeper reason. Open communication is always the best policy. But hey, if all else fails, this guide should at least provide you with some amusement (and maybe a story or two for future blackmail... but we didn't say that).
