How would you respond? (A social experiment)

RE: How would you respond? (A social experiment)
You lost me at the second paragraph because I don't have a car.

I found the first paragraph really interesting though. I go to this restaurant that I love a lot more regularly recently... it makes me very happy. The idea of me going even MORE frequently... sounds pretty interesting.

(Like I get utterly obsessed with the place and keep ordering more and more food and stuff my stomach up so goddamn much and run out of money and then demand to see the manager and say "FREE FOOD PLEASE OR ELSE" and they are scared by my shouty voice and give me free food. if only. Nah don't wanna be a meaninepants.)

I just wonder how this thought experiment thingy idea (that I haven't read fully yet) can work if I don't have a car.

Oh wait it's the general sense of "you" I don't have to have a car. I just have to imagine if I did have one.

My initial thought is "They like sitting in their car. Maybe they're reading a book. Maybe they're jacking off. Maybe they just like sitting in their car."

Quote:Now, fast forward a week.  Imagine that you have visited your favorite place several times and each time you've seen the vehicle in the parking lot that same person is sitting in the passenger seat.  Granted, the vehicle hasn't been there every time you've visited, but just enough to make you think harder.  Now what do you think of this person?

That's the parking lot they go to to have a sleazy wank in their car in. Or a book. Or a sit in their car.

If I had a car I'm sure I'd have favorite places to drive to to sit/wank in it aswell. Or is wanking in your own car not legal in case people see through the window? In that case, no attention span for reading... but I still might like to take my car somewhere and sit in it. Maybe meditate? I've been meaning to meditate. I'd just be so happy to have my own car.

I doubt I'll ever be safe behind the wheel. If I don't trust myself behind it how can other people trust me?

Quote:Now, fast forward a month.  You haven't been able to get enough of your favorite place, and you have continued to see the same vehicle with the same passenger quite regularly.  What is going on in your mind?  Are you in any way concerned?  Will you confront this person?

Why would I confront someone's relaxing parking lot car wank/meditate in their most favoritest wanky parking lot meditatey place?

Imagine if you kick the door to their car wide open and discover a Buddhist monk squatting in a car, cross-legged.... having a sleazy wank? (Hey sure he could have been meditating but buddhist monks have to wank too you know. I know they often try to be celibate but life is hard).... what is going on in your mind then eh?
