A social experiment

6 replies

myfirstandonlylove · 08/01/2016 06:56

Is anyone else fed up with hearing about "social experiments"? 2 middle class plonkers trying to invent a media career film a woman haranguing a man about fabric softener or something to see if someone intervenes. How about as a social experiment people in London start speaking to one another, starting with the isolated elderly neighbour? Or stop sitting on the outside of 3 free seats on the fecking train...just a thought.

No I'm not, as I've not seen any of them and not very aware this is happening to an extent where I'd get fed up about it.

MY channels of "hearing about things" must be different to yours as I've heard a little of this but really not very much.

Maybe change who you follow of Twitter?

I agree that people should not pretend that I'm doing a social experiment is a good excuse for behaving twattishly or doing annoying things, but I don't believe that it's terribly common.

Think its all part and parcel of the cult of 'me-ism'. To be found on your nearest social media site which enthusiastically cultivates opinion to sound as if its fact.

I sit on the outside of three free seats. I don't like to sit by the window as I really feel the cold (aneamic). Is it really bad to do this?

I commuted by train for 30 years and never heard of that, Flats. You're probably ok.
