That is courageous. Frankly I'm not sure I'd have the balls to do it.
In The Four Hour Work-Week Tim Ferriss writes about overcoming discomfort and fear of embarrassment. He'd do an experiment where he'd just lie down in the middle of the floor of a busy plaza. Because it seems like such an odd thing to do, most people are terrified to try it. Once you realize that nobody really cares if you're a bit weird, you feel liberated to do what you need to pursue a crazy business idea.
I like your approach better, though. If you're going to do something weird and uncomfortable, why not make it something kind, something that'll actually improve someone's day.
Thank you! I don't remember that being in T4HWW, which I listened to on audiobook several years ago. That's probably where it came from, because it's a Sneaky Card mission (you're supposed to do it until someone asks if you're ok and then give them the card). But I saw that and thought, no, because people might think something is wrong, and that's not nice. It's one of the few Sneaky Cards I ruled out, lol. I mean, one time I saw a homeless guy just lying down on the sidewalk - not under a tree or on a bench or something, just right there in the middle of the sidewalk. I thought he had passed out. I woke him up checking on him. I'm not gonna do that to someone as a "challenge"!
