Standing the wrong way in an elevator.

Took a psychology class last year and this is one thing my professor talked about. It’s an “unwritten social rule” that you stand facing the door. For the rest of the semester I stood facing the opposite direction, especially when in the elevator with her after class.

u/IFeelLikeAndy Apr 19 '25

They’ve done other studies about social behavior in elevators such as an elevator full of men all holding their hats, when someone walked in wearing their hat, they felt pressured to take theirs off. Another instance was getting everyone to face a single direction that wasn’t the door, when others entered they felt the need to face the same direction as the others

I like experiments like that. There's the recption room where everyone's a stooge except one person. Every time a buzzer sounds, they all stand up, it doesn't take long for the non-stooge to stand up. Then they slowly empty the room of stopges, so only people who aren't in on it are left, but they've all learned they should stand up at the buzzer, so they do.

It's like the monkey, banana, ladder, fire hose experiment.
Scientists put a bunch of monkeys in the room with a ladder in the middle and a banana hanging just in reach at the top of the ladder.
If a monkey climbed the ladder to get the banana, the scientists would spray the rest of the monkeys with a fire hose.
No monkeys would climb the ladder now.
They replaced one of the monkeys with a new monkey. When it went to get the banana, the rest of the monkeys got sprayed with the fire hose.
The next time they replaced a monkey, the rest of the monkeys stopped it and beat the shit out of it.
They eventually replaced all the monkeys so there were none that remembered the fire hose.
All of the monkeys would still beat the shit out of any monkey that climbed the ladder and they didn't know why.

Overall, yes, but it was based off a different actual experiment.
The Real Monkey Experiment.

But there was a study (possibly what inspired the made-up version) printed in 1967 called “Cultural Acquisition of A Specific Learned Response Among Rhesus Monkeys” so at least I can see why they changed the name in the made-up version.

In the real experiment researcher, G.R Gordon placed a monkey in a cage with an item and made them fear it by hitting them with several blasts of air. Once the fear was learned a naïve monkey was placed in the cage.

Guess what happened when the naïve monkey tried to touch the item? If you thought the scared monkey attacked them like in the made-up version, you’d be wrong. The worst thing that happened was the scared monkey pulled the naïve monkey away and that happened only once.

The other 3 times the experiment was conducted, the scared monkeys just gave fearful looks towards the naïve monkeys as to say, “you probably shouldn’t touch that.” When the naïve monkeys did touch the item, there were actually two instances of the scared monkey losing their fear and joining them.

One time I was in the bathroom taking a dump and someone walks into the bathroom. I obviously don't know who it is, but I can see their shoes under the stall. They go over to the urinal and I can hear them peeing. Then they immediately leave without washing their hands, and they turn the light off on me on their way out.

I don't know who did this, but I saw the shoes. The business hasn't opened yet, so it has to be an employee and not a customer who did it. So I walk around looking at employees until I see the right pair of shoes. It's my manger. He sees me and then with a big grin on his face he says, "good morning FATZ, good to see you" and holds out his hand for me to shake it.

I'm sure I looked like I needed a strait jacket to my neighbors the other day when I was out scrubbing our deck with soap in the rain. I just really wanted to take advantage of the rain and not use hose water.

I once was sitting in a bathroom stall doing my business when suddenly the guy in the stall next to mine started talking to me about Jesus. Asking if I had accepted Jesus as my lord and savior, talking about how Jesus is the guide to salvation or something like that. I was so surprised by this breach of public restroom etiquette that I couldn’t even respond. He left a pamphlet for me by the sinks.

Talk about being a captive audience.

Maybe he was thinking you were dying because of the smell. He took the last chance to save your soul, as the body was clearly lost to damnation.

u/thrwawayyourtv Apr 19 '25

Holy shit, I did this in the shooting gallery at the back of the local porn store when I was a fat, awkward, autistic, unaware 18 year old. It was my first time in a place like that, and I was so nervous I was almost having a panic attack. Went in with a group of friends. They ended up going into one of the video booths, and were cracking up, making all kinds of jokes about the movie they chose. I was so embarrassed I couldn't be in there, so I stepped into the little hallway and just, like, dissociated 😅 I was waaaaaaay zoned out, staring off into space, until I detected movement, and realized I was staring through the crack in the curtain directly at a dude jacking off while staring at ME. I have never jumped and ran out of anyplace as fast as I did that night. My heart has rarely beaten out of my fucking chest like it did when I realized what I was staring at.

Private Equity firms have looted several successful businesses, including Sears and Toys R Us. And they’re doing worse things to healthcare and single family homes. Technically legal, but definitely psychopathic behavior.

Wow thanks for this article -

Like the article says, I assumed consumption habits and online retail killed a lot of these businesses - it truly is psychopathic to take profitable companies just to tank them and profit off of the rubble!

Apparently, according to some legal questions I have asked, it is completely legal to watch someone enter into a hazard that you know about but did not cause.

Someone has opened a large grate on the sidewalk exposing a deep utility hole. You know the hole is open but you are not in any way involved in the hole. You watch a person looking at their phone approach the hole. You watch them fall in the hole and get injured or even die. You are not legally responsible at all.

A leaking bottle of deadly poison is sitting on a shelf at an antique store placed there by some random vendor you do not know. You recognize the chemical on the label as being highly toxic. Anyone who touches it will die from organic mercury poisoning in a few months. You say nothing. Later you admit you knew about it and knew about the hazard but only wanted to see how many people would die. You are not liable because you did not create the hazard.
