My teacher wants us to become social deviants...

[TheGreatCoolEnergy]

Also, read the cracked article "9 most devastating insults from around the world"
or something like that. Then swap out some of them for your regular curses.

Or just start a trend and see how long it takes before everyone else is doing it.

You can go to a restaurant, order some beef and then, when the waiter brings it to you you say "OH GOD NO! I'M A VEGAN! HOW DARE YOU SERVE ME MURDER!?" and eat it.

I was not aware that standing infront of people in an elevator broke social norms.

You could wear your clothes backwards, wear a skirt or wear a Family Guy t-shirt.

 

[AWAR]

Start talking to yourself in public.
Buy a large quantity of orange traffic cones and reroute whole streets.
As much as possible, skip rather than walk.
Ask people what gender they are.
Finish all your sentences with the words "in accordance with prophesy.
Make beeping noises when a large person backs up.
Repeat the following conversation a dozen times:
"DO YOU HEAR THAT?"
"What?"
"Never mind, it's gone now."
Thats all i can think of for now

Walk up the down escalator, or vice versa. Clearly and loudly pronounce your actions before you do them, to everyone nearby, starting with and "Excuse me, I am about to_____." (ex, "I am about to enter this building." Wear flipflops and shorts with a nice shirt, tie, and jacket. Proclaim history to be Non-canon. When someone around you hands you a paper, stop, read it, and ask them to explain bits of it, and right at a crucial moment, turn to the nearest stranger, reach out to them, asking "Hey, have you met this guy? Fantastic guy, he'd love to do that!", introducing them, then walk way. Compliment someone you don't know, on something that isn't the most attractive part about them. Talk to somoene at a urinal, in an elevator, on a bench, on the bus, etc.

Speak with a Really bad fake old English accent, like saying " 'elloo, guv'nuh"

Pffft, the responses here are awesome. Before I didn't know what to do, now I don't know what to choose. Thanks guys!

Play with your old childish toys (i.e. Ninja Turtles) in a public place. Make sure to make your own sound effects too.

Yeah, that's totally not normal...

Hey, you can say what you want, but whenever my little brother gets a new toy I start thinking about whether or not it'd be fun to play with. He gets action figures with articulated elbows. I never got those.

Recently I told a few friends of mine to go to a heavy metal concert wearing My Chemical Romance/Greenday T-Shirts, and go moshing.
But that wasn't so much to the purpose of observing reactions to perceived deviation so much as me trying to get them killed.

well, it kind of depends. if you do that at a real metal band's concert, nothing will happen, as metalheads are the most tolerant people walking on this planet.
if you do something like this at, let's say, a Korn or Slipknot or whatever concert... well, gl & hf ^^

oh and i liked the idea of that creepy smile right before entering a crowded (or not crowded, guess it mwouldn't matter that much) elevator

i sure know i'm gonna do this ^^
not doing a thing to the day you've got to have your assignment done, and handing it in the day after, sounds pretty nice though, although maybe a little too quiet for my taste

Well, I know that Greenday and MCR are anathema to a metalhead, and it was an AC/DC concert anyway, (Which is more hard rock) but yeah, there would still have been a chance that they would still get an offhand slap or whatever.
Well, maybe not, but whatever.

Say "hello" to every single person you see.

I actually like this idea quite a bit because walking down the street, etc. essentially ignoring everyone is what most people normally do, however greeting everyone is actually the nicer more pro-society approach. It sort of takes the assignment and flips it on it's head. You're not doing something that should be considered odd or weird like many of the other ideas (wearing clothes backwards, eating at a restaurant while standing, etc.) but because of the current connected yet disconnected state of society, it is considered odd.

Once, back in sixth grade, I took a vow of silence and upheld it for a fortnight.
For absolutely no reason.

Unfortunately, I have not been so lucky as to have an opportunity to do so since, as I can't find a stable enough base of people who would understand such a maneuver within my high school.

I beleive you refer to a lower class cockney accent, or something of the like.

Kill a man in Reno.

...Or sing in public without headphones in your ears. Don't do this in a mall because you'll scare peope. _> Not...not that I have any personal experience.

Day-O works wonders as a song because its the sort you have to deliberately yell to sing.

 

[CouchCommando]

board an almost empty bus or train carriage, walk up to one of the lone occupants and sit down in the seat right next to them. Come to think of it I think I was the victim of some one doing a project in a similar vein a couple of years back, some guy he didn't look like a whacko or anything did this to me. I got up and moved, it disturbed me so much. Hey even try in in a movie cinema.

 

[mshcherbatskaya]

Talk to everyone in pseudo-Shakespearian English.

 

[Irridium]

If you live in/close to the city. Go to a crowded sidewalk, stand on the edge, and look up.

I've done this a few times and always got a sizable crowd looking up, was pretty funny.
