I've been thinking a lot lately after I received an interesting proposition on UMD. A pperson, not to be named, messaged me out of the blue, asking me if I would be interested in conducting a social experiment. They claim that they are a psych student, at a local college, and would like to conduct an experiment to see how people react to actions they perceive as going against public social norms. Apparently, they want me to go up to strangers in a public park and ask them if I can pie them or if they will pie me. I would then be obligated to accept the consequences, whatever they are. Payment would be $100 for two hours work, but that offer caught me off guard and really got me thinking...

I've been into pies all my life and have always fantasized about pieing strangers or being pied by them. There's a spark of that public humiliation that really makes me curious. But then again, those thoughts have always been fantasy, in the safety of my own head, and I really don't know if I have the courage to do that. Obviously, I'll insist on meeting this person in person to discuss the experiment in more detail, before diving into anything.

What would you do, if given the offer? Are you ok with getting messy in public, at the hands of strangers? Or do you prefer it in a safe and comfortable environment, with someone you know?

Anyways, thank you for indulging me and who knows, maybe I'll come back with an interesting story to tell!
