Fun with others...
From time to time I like to share some of my fun sociological experiments with others to try... Well, I have a new one...
The next time you find yourself behind the wheel, and at a red light... pull up right next to the person beside you. I don't mean get within inches of their car, but line yourself right up with the driver... sit there right beside them and see how long it takes before they creep forward past you. I noticed that just about everyone I tried this on didn’t care for someone directly beside them. Even if you don't want to try it, take notice of how traffic staggers at lights... You rarely see someone right beside someone else. Every time I did it this morning, the person next to me crept forward.
I must admit, it made me feel a little uncomfortable as well just even doing it. I'd equate it with sitting right beside someone in an empty McDonald's... or, peeing next to someone in an empty men's room.
