As in, yelling and cursing at each other at the table, for no real reason.
We kept breaking the spell by laughing, but we were definitely improving by the time we were ready to leave. I didn't realize it would be so hard to get in a fake fight with someone in public.
But, I've got to admit - it was fun.
It's just one of those things that people don't do - start yelling at each other in line for Starbucks for no good reason, or throwing things from their purse in the bank. It's not what you're supposed to do - you're supposed to smile and stand up straight and be polite.
And that's what I do, 98% of the time.
But I think 'acting out' on purpose every once in a while is actually a good thing, because if you have control over it, you're less likely to lose your shit otherwise. Perhaps if people yelled a little more often, there would be less road rage.
So, here's what I'm thinking. I'm going to post a daily* bad-kid suggestion for a while. I'll take part, and if any of you do, definitely let me know. It'll be programatic anarchy, if something of the sort can exit.
So for today, we'll simply go with what started the whole idea - I suggest you yell something inappropriate in while in line or at the grocery store. Get in a fight with absolutely no purpose - see how it feels. It's fun.
I'll do it again too. I'm about to go to the vet's office to see if little Jazz is over her (and my) ringworm debacle; maybe I'll make a scene there.
To be clear, I'm not suggesting that you act needlessly rude to unsuspecting people; more, that you just let loose and scream something at a friend (who will understand and forgive you). Enjoy.
*Daily = as often as I can come up with a new idea, and have time to sit down at the computer. Considering the semester is almost over and I'm about to have a lot more time on my hands, let's assume my posting frequency will increase to 3-4 times a week.

What a great, novel idea! I fully support it. I think your next idea should involve tomatoes. Tomatoes are always fun...throwing them on the sidewalk without being too destructive, smashing them against your face (I guess you'd have to wear a smock for that one), and so on.
