Super Powers - Invisibility

In this series of blogs I will be observing the various super powers that we'd all love to have. I'll look at the pro's and cons and see what we all think we could do with the powers. These powers won't necessarily be needed to act as a super hero, they could simply be thier to make your life easier. At the end of the each blog i will give a verdict on these abilities - Super? or Stupid?

From Harry Potter to Spongebob Sqaurepants, we've seen invisibility explored in many different ways and by many different people. I suppose invisibility wouldn't be that great for society, we would likely all be bumping into each other and just generally avoiding people. But if this power was just given to you, and you only...would it be such a bad thing?

Positives
Avoid annoying people
We all have people that sometimes we just can't be bothered to make the effort with, and just like that you can go unseen and sneak by without a word.
No need for clothes
For this blog i'm assuming you can turn your clothes invisible, but why would you need them anyway? Strut your stuff, and be as lazy as you want without fear of being seen.
Play tricks on people
Invisibility is perfect for tricking your friends and family, and they'll never know it's you!
Stal....*cough*....spying on people
If you are invisible it's perfect opportunity to watch whoever you want and for whatever reason, without getting caught.


Negatives
People walk into you
It's going to be hard to stay invisible on a busy street
What if you can't change back?
Being invisible might be fun, but what if you can't change back? It would be hard to get help when people are running around screaming because of the mysterious voice they keep hearing.
You could die invisible
Maybe that is how some people go missing. Imagine you die while your invisible, surely you'd then be invisible to the world...forever?
Hard to be a recognised superhero
If you try being a superhero with the soul power of being invisible, nobody is going to know who or what you are. You're not going to get any recognition for all of your hard work. What's the point of that?
Door in the face!
If your walking along, and nobody else can see you, thiers a good chance that a door will occasionally get slammed into your face. Ouch.

What you had to say
Twitter Responses - What would you do with the power of invisibility?

@Harpieclan1950 - um become a hero!!

@bryanjones63 - I'd convince people that I could fly too!

@RevTheMag - With invisibility and a couple million bucks, I'd change lives. I'd bring groceries, stop bullies, deliver sleeping bags ...

@spiritwasteland - lol hm... Sneak around and spy on hot people?

@GeorgeRoff - That'd be so cool! Go wherever I want to, whenever I want to! :D Nuff said! :)

@JaimeCarroll - I would use it straight after having sex with a prostitute just so I can avoid paying her.

@Dona300 If I had a power of invisibility I will go kick all the people I hate in the ass, enter my Boy friend's house & kiss him. Travel to many cool places like Disneyland & do what I want without people know.

Conclusion
Invisibility is a power which really makes you feel safe and in control. You can do pretty much anything to anybody and get away with it. But is that reall a good thing? What if you become so obsessed with being invisible that not only your perance, but your personality could to.
Thier are obviously flaws with this power. People will notice if you push through a door or if you step a puddle. Also what if a dog is sent to sniff you out? You can't make your scent invisible.
I don't really feel like thiers too much to gain from this power. Once you've played a few practical jokes, and maybe done some 'innocent' stalking, the funs pretty much gone, other than occasionally avoiding the people that annoy you.

Verdict - Stupid
