How would you feel if a stranger came up to you and attempted to hold your hand? Pretty freaked out, right? Well, that didn't stop college comedy prank group LAHWF from attempting the feat -- and making a video compilation of the best responses.

The video was made on the pranksters' college campus and reactions range from terribly creeped out to mildly amused, but they all have a commonality of being pretty hilarious. Watch the video, then make the call: What would you do if a stranger tried to hold your hand? Would you hesitantly embrace it or attempt a slap in the face?

I would give two quick squeezes, and say "It's set to go off in 5 minutes. Make sure you're out in time," turn a corner and escape.

Only if they needed support or something. Sure wouldn't ever try to hold a stranger's hand like in the video.

I might, if she were attractive enough, and I had enough of a context to figure out where she was coming from.

If it's a stranger that happens to be a beautiful looking girl with good love handles, what a way to signal a potential date, If she looks good and doesn't have AIDS or an STD why not?

and I have, I've been in Church fellowships visiting and if the pastor calls for prayer and asked us to join hands, often I am holding someone's hand that is a total stranger to me. It's no different than communicating with you, for some odd reason I don't feel strange about communicating with you or with those that I have friends with on this format and I just don't have a problem with that. I was at a political ralley in 2008 and the commrodery was great, people from all walks of life, different ethnicities. Joking, laughing and talking like we were all old lost friends. He who finds a friend finds a good thing, so the more friends I find , the more blessed I am.

Actually it's more complicated then that, there should be a thurd choice. ( ) It all depends.
If it was a male I would say deffinently NO. If it was a sexy female I would say deffinently YES. If it was a not so sexy female I would say 'ummmmmm... maybe.'.
