    Breaking social norms...

    I'm looking into an extra credit opportunity that looks to have potential of being really fun.

    I want to make a video of myself and a few friends/classmates breaking social norms and recording unknowing "victim" 's responses. I'm looking for ideas. There are a lot of good examples on you tube..

    What I have:
    free hugs
    standing in an elevator facing the opposite way
    sitting right next to someone when there are loads of empty seats in the room
    bringing your boom box to a popular reading spot to listen while you read.
    paying in all pennies or another small denomination coin
    driving through drive through backwards


    What do you guys have?

    I'm not so sure all of those would be social norms (well opposite or whatever) but some might be just common courtesy

    should be interesting though

      the boom box is really rude. I voted against, but I'm in a group of three and I must be the nice guy.

            these could be slightly amusing

            # Men often avoid conversation and eye contact in a public restroom, and might only nod or very shortly greet a coworker with whom they would typically start a conversation ("Hey").
            # Men should avoid adjacent or closely-situated urinals and toilets when others are available. One should look only straight ahead or down when there is someone at an adjacent urinal.[6]

                    i think this is a stupid idea.

                    paying in change/ not tipping is stupid.

                    this is usually where i'd say something mean, but this is AO, i'll restrain.

                      why is paying with change stupid? its the same value as bills, just a smaller denomination. Have you ever been at a cash register where they ran out of bills and they gave you your change in smaller bills or change? I'm not talking about something crazy like pennies. I wouldnt do it anytime someone is busy or cause other customers to wait for you.
