Stephen Hawkins style abuse
I used to hang out a lot with my friend who owned a video shop.

In said shop he had linked of his fuck off sound system to his video player, music system and computer. One day I remembered all the fun that used to be got when I was a young adult making the speech programme on the PC shout out abusive messages.

We spent a good hour with the message "Stop looking at the porn! You pervert" on speed dial, waiting for couples to come in. The man would always gravitate towards the bongo vids, as they always do, venturing just to the side of the display so they could have a sneaky peek. When our target was in position, with the speakers turned up, we would press play and much childish sniggering would ensue. Man would look shifty, wife would look cross, couple would leave followed by the strains of our laughter.

This may not seem a good business model (my friend has gone bust now) but in the end we had about 10 fully grown adults (well, 30 year old boys) waiting in the shop, shaking with silent laughter as we all waited for the next victims.

We also refused to speak to customers, using only the Sam voice.

Now I see why his business did not work out.
