Not really related but one time I went to a movie showing and no one else was there. Two individuals came in at separate times and sat on both sides of me right next to me and I was so uncomfortable at this situation I left. In hindsight it was a horror movie and maybe they were too nervous to see it alone but it’s often on my mind.
I had a friend in college who took a course where they were supposed to break nonverbal norms. They decided to break the norm that you’d don’t sit right next to people in a movie theater. They & their partner went to a nearly-empty theater for a film and sat on each side of the only people there. I now have headcanon that that was you.
Directing students to go out into society and experiment on nonconsenting strangers is so gross. It’s very mild in the grand scheme of unethical shit that some scientists have done over the years (ex:Tuskegee Syphilis Study) but still, it is a lazy and thoughtless way to gather data.
