Breaking social norms...

[trevorjk]

walk up to some random person and accuse them of steeling your bike. also, act a tad slow

when in an elevator, stand as close as possible to the other person in there. works best when its only you and some one else. and when they move, move to them again.

dress up like on halloween (not cheap costume but face paint ect) and go into stores.

sing really badly in a store. and sing loud.


all those are pro for getting great reactions. tried and true

not sure if anyone said this but its probably illegal to go through the drive through backwards, it may not be because its private property but better check that out.

i agree that the boombox is a bit disrespectful and i dont think it would prove your point.

if your doing this for school or legit study you have to keep in mind the ethics of it, they are pretty serious about that. i know for my senior Psych study for college, i had to go infront of a review board (IRB) before my study could be approved... and it was basically just a survey.

when your doing experiments on people you have to take a bunch of stuff into account...
cant cause harm psycological or physical
there has to be a debrief and sometimes a follow up
etc...

just a few thoughts, i work in the field and the program i work for is based on Normative Culture.
