Free Money

I walked along University Avenue near my house. I approached people that seemed like they were heading home from some type of event, either a party or a gathering of people. I just introduced myself to them and asked where they were coming from. I wanted to see what they had been up to that night and then ask them if they wanted the dollar. Only one was given away, which was surprising. Out of of all 5 people only one took the dollar which surprised me because I feel like generally would want free money. However, I am not surprised that people do not want free money when they are offered it. I feel like this makes them feel cheap and petty. I think that generally my predictions were wrong because of what I said above but I now understand why they were wrong.

  1. That was an interesting way to start those conversations. You did not even seem to need the dollar for that. I was also surprised by how many people did not accept the free money. Great post! One thing you might want to check is the videos, they don't seem to be working.

  2. I was very surprised that so many people did not accept the money. Maybe it had to be with the place where you decided to give out money. I went to Dunkin Donuts during their happy hour, and people were happy to accept the money. Also, just like Gator Grey said your videos do not seem to be working. If you would like to check out my blog the link is below.
