Who you callin "Normal"?

For my Consumer Behavior class we had to change up a few norms. I was too embarrassed for most of them, but here are the two I tried.




At a family dinner with about a dozen family members there, I decided to ask my grandmother for the check, I took it further by telling everyone else, that "this one was on me."
There were two main reactions; most of the people started to laugh, but my grandmother and a couple older folk did the "Ehhhh, why do you do these stupid things" face.



The second norm I broke was inside of an elevator at the Beverly Center. I took my friend along, and we both stood up against the floor buttons, with our backs to the people. Looking at people's shoes, I noticed 3 people walk in, and leave almost immediately without saying a word. Then one Asian man grabbed my friend from the shoulders and scooted him slightly to the right, pressed his button, and scooted him back. We both burst out laughing and walked out.
