Today in speech class

July 25, 2008

Today our group assigmment was to exhibit odd behavior in an elevator while our classmates looked on and observed reactions. What i turned in:

A young woman entered the elevator with us, and i mentally prepared for my odd behavior experiment. As soon as the elevator doors closed, i immediately yelled out “JESUS CHRIST” and ducked my head down, as if i heard a giant explosion. The silent elevator was no witness to such an event, so the young woman reacts immediately, looking extremely alarmed, nervously laughing and asking if i was alright. Incredulously, i look around and ask if anyone else heard the imaginary explosion, and then wave the thought aside as if my imagination was playing tricks on me. She continues looking at me like and saying i scared her really badly. I act as if i realize something and quickly leave the elevator on the next floor. My classmates tell me she continued to laugh and look nervous the whole way up to the fourth floor, it seems my action really scared her.
