These have to be legal, but I'd like Bungie.net help me to make a list of strange things I can do to gain unusual responses from shoppers. It's part of my psychology final, and I have to do some 'naturalistic observations.'

What I have so far:

1) Walking around in an orange jump suit.
2) Putting a sign that says "Wet Paint" on a large pane-glass, storefront window.
3) Standing in the middle of the food court and screaming.
4) Blast Duel of the Fates through a food court, then duel your friend with plastic lightsabers wearing Jedi robes.
5) Look in other people's baskets and ask if you can have certain items. "Can I have those oreos?" And if they tell you to get your own, say "but I want those specific oreos."
6) Stand in the checkout lane backwards.
7) If you want to be really obnoxious you could start reshelving baskets of stuff. Like shooper steps 5 feet away from their basket to compare soap prices, and you start grabbing things and put them on the shelves.
8) Stand next to the entry of a busy store with a clipboard ... pick certain people you see approaching the entry, look at them very closely and then pretend to make notes about them.
9) If you're sitting next to someone, stare at them then quickly look forward when they look at you. Repeat.

11) Take something out of someone's bag and eat it. It doesn't have to be edible.

In that case, wear a bunny suit and start break dancing in the food court.

i saw this on a stand up comedy show:

Fill your grocery cart with booze, beer, vodka, and other alchoholic beverages, and put in a pair of diapers. Then at the checkout lane, pretend you dont have enough money for it all, and put the diapers back.

godam that sounds fun!

Nevermind. These ideas don't leave much room for testability.

Edit: That, and the ideas are really bad.

i saw this in jackass, take a diaper, smear the inside with chocolate pudding, then go around public places licking off. put one in a public trashcan somewhere, then come back a little later. fish around in the trash can, then get the diaper and open it up. get in line for a restaurant of shop or just stand there licking the pudding off.

get a long piece of string and walk aroun the perimiter of the store and let it trail out on the ground behind you, when you reach the place where you started again, make sure noone is looking than tie the ends together and spend the reaminder of the day following the string atound the store

Place signs that say "Out of Order" or something of that sort in random parking spaces and see what people do.

Someone a while ago posted on the HBO forums, 20+ things to do in Wal-Mart(I think he got them from funnyjunk.com but I'm not sure). One of them was to put condoms in ppl's shopping carts. You could observe their reactions.

Pull down your pants in the middle of the street and start taking a -blam!-.

I just remembered some more from that list. Go sneeking around Wal-Mart while humming the Mission Impossible theme.

Put one of those 'wet floor' signs on the carpet areas.

Walk around with a box of Lucky Charms and when someone comes close, jump back and say in your best leperchaun voice, "THERE AFTER ME LUCKY CHARMS!" You then run a little ways and watch their reaction.

You can walk around under a huge box singing the Metal Gear "Encounter Music".
