"What would you give to get away?" (Train)

I'm infatuated with driving in East Texas; blue and green and sun are so much more here.
The latest assignment in my social psych class is to do something against the "social norm" and turn the experience into a coherent paper. This is quite possibly the hardest assignment I have ever faced. I am a huge advocate of being spontaneous and crazy, but deviant behavior is something entirely... deviant. At the malicious suggestion of a friend, and with a rather scant supply of courage, I went shopping at the Tyler mall -- carrying an umbrella. It was hilarious how many people pretended nothing was out of the ordinary, even when I struck up conversations or asked them to hold the umbrella over my head. Maybe I should be deviant more often... I'm sure it builds character somehow.
What is the strangest thing you've ever done in public?
