I have this breaking a social norm project for AP Psychology class. The assignment is to do something that is socially ridiculous/looked down upon, but not stupid enough that people know you're fucking with them. (Small Examples: Walking up a down escalator, sitting next to a couple at a restaurant). Anyone have a good idea? Thank you in advance for your input TL!

do some weird hygiene things in a public place, like put your hands down your pants or make yourself look really bad and dirty. Good luck^^.

Better answer: obtain a portable instrument that you don't know how to play, go to the mall and screw around with it while leaving a case out like you expect people to give you money.

By not doing the assignment, he would be doing the assignment. Thus, that is an impossible task.

Also, his teacher would fail him.

Tell your classmates, friends, family, and teacher that you're not doing the assignment. Record how they react. Turn it in.

I had this assignment in my Psych class like 10 years ago when I was in college, and was assigned a partner. My partner was uncreative, and just walked around backwards while we did everything. People in general just thought he was stupid.

I, on the other hand, was more creative. I went to the food court at various times through the night (not close enough that the same people would be there), walked up to the cashier (different restaurant each time!) who would normally take my order, and instead just stood there and made small talk. Talked about the weather, the sports teams, whatever. Depending on how patient the cashier was, somewhere between 2-5 minutes later, I would just say "see ya" and walk away without ordering anything, like it was the most natural thing in the world.

The results were varied between annoyed, amused, and just plain confused. Be sure to also note the attitude and anxiety of the people behind you in line. I had everything from a guy who was about to kick my ass for wasting his time, to a group of ladies who thought it was hilarious, including a girl who thought I was made of balls and gave me her number after I walked away.

Enjoy!

Talk to the person beside you when you're sitting on the bus, or talk to the bus driver.

Compliment random strangers. Say how you feel about them out loud to them (if it's not an insult).

Thank everyone for everything (waiter, bus driver, McDonald's staff).
There is no one like you in the universe.

I do that all the time.

But I agree, I get weird looks sometimes. Not from the people I'm talking to or complimenting (if you're serious about it, they very much appreciate it), but from others.

I had an assignment like this, I didn't feel like actually doing this but I just made up a situation where I went to a urinal in the guy's bathroom and stood right next to another guy. Got 100% on it, of course it was a gen ed class so it wasn't that hard..

Top comment if you're lazy:
Answer a phone call in your psych class. Proceed to talk loudly. This is revenge for professors giving every psych class the same stupid fucking assignment.
Bonus points for:
-Shushing the professor if they interrupt you
-Standing up, putting your hand over one ear and talking even louder if people start booing
-Very obviously placing the phone call yourself (turn on the dial pad tones?)
