Not the video game but kinda like it. I’m sure everybody has seen people acting like lemmings in everyday life. It happened to me twice Saturday night. I was at the regal and went to get tickets. Everybody is in one line. Why? I don’t get it. So I walk through the other one and walk right up to the window. Then, I go to get some popcorn. Same thing. Everyone is in one line again. There are two other registers open! This shit baffles me. ---

I see it all the time as well. People don’t like to think. Then again, I’ll be honest and say I’ve done it a few times if I’m out with friends just shooting the shit and we jump in line. I’m more into the conversation than whats going on around me so I just go with the obvious flow. :shrug: ---

what really fucks with me is the way people park. people always clump together. humans have a natural herding instinct. If i leave a 5 spot buffer around my car, i will always find someone near me when i come out of the store. And i don’t think it is someone fucking with me, because it is usually some mom in a minivan. Speaking of minivans, any car that isnt mine should have sliding or lambo doors. ---

A phenomenon I have noticed all too often. I always park way far out. I have legs so I might as well use them. Without fail, when I get back to my car, someone is parked near me. ---

next test (yes I’ve done this): Go to a mall, or semi-crowded area. pick a random spot in the hallway / promenade. Stand perfectly still and stare at a random point on the ceiling / sky. Within 5-10 minutes You’ll have a small crowd gathered and all looking up. Note-very few of them will actually ask what it is they are looking at. :noes: ---

How about if you ever go somewhere with automated checkouts? (tops,wal-mart,home depot).They are always empty and 10 people are in line with the normal cashier.Maybe people dont want to bag the stuff they buy themselves :gotme: . ---
