Would you do something if someone (your friend) told you to do something with a smilling(or) laughing face? My friend doesn't really use computer that much and we were in computer class and it juss so happened that he had magnets with him, then i told him to put it up close to the monitor (i had like a laughin/smilin face on), then he just put the magnets all up close on the monitor and got all freaked out. The monitor became all weird in color and he was all scared cuz the teacher might get mad at him. When I told him to put it up close he did it without a doubt and just did it. I don't really want to be writting a paragraph here but another story was... I was in a school bus from a parade (band) back to school. It was around 8:30pm so it was pretty dark. While on the way back, this one student wanted to pee badly so he took 2 bottles of water and pee'd in them (he was sittin all the way in the back, it was pretty nasty). After we got to school...i told this one gurl "you should congratulate (name - person that pee'd) and shake his hand" [again with a laughing expression] Then she went up to him and said congratulation while shaking his hand. After congratulating him and shaking his hand she asked "so what'd you do?" and the student said "i pee'd in the bus" So the gurl got all mad at me wiping her hands on my shirt. would you do something like that? (not the magnet/shakin hand...but the question that i wrote in the beggining)

I don't know... Maybe I already did and don't remember. But from now on, I think I won't do just because the person is smiling. I found this pretty interesting! You know, by the way you say it sounds like, when you smile while asking a favor, you are hypnotizing the person. Maybe something inside the person makes her do the thing just because you're smiling. I am going to check that out tomorrow, and let's see if it was just coincidence.

well at both of those events...there were other ppl that knew what happened and was there when i told them to do something like the magnets...there was another guy there and he was laughing too (bcuz he knew what would happen) and the gurl, there were 2 other ppl on that bus when i was there also and they also laughed when i told her to do it but my question is mostly...if someone asked you, wouldn't you have suspicion and be kind of cautious?

I sincerely have no idea. I use to be cautious a lot when people ask me strange things. But it sounds like hypnose!
