It was a spur-of-the-moment experiemnt, but maybe somebody else will be inspired?

Love it. I'm inspired

(The one time I did something remotely similar made me resolve to try a systematic experiment sometime, but I'd forgotten about it till now.
I was getting a b*llocking from a work-supervisor, and on impulse I put my hands above my head, as if he was sticking a gun rather than a finger in my ribs. It floored the guy completely, and seemed to defuse a difficult situation.
Or maybe not, come to think of it, since he obviously still hates me...)

I thought this was interesting as well, and well described.

I wonder what reaction you would have got to a 'homeless' or 'drunk in the daytime' approach.

Mainly lots of people ignoring you and trying not to catch your eye I guess.

Might be fun to play one of the Special Brigade. I wonder if I'd get thrown off the underground? That would be a first for me!
