Free Money

For these encounters, I will go to my local apartment complex where people are always either walking their dogs or just hanging outside walking and talking on their cell phones or with friends by their sides. I will also go to the library where people are always either studying or talking on their phones with friends (depending on the floor). These kinds of people are people who are more relax and definitely students whom attend the University of Florida. To get the conversation started I will say, “Hey, I found this dollar, but I don’t have any pockets or a wallet to hold it, do you mind taking it from me please?” My plan for the conversation is to be very approachable. Out of five attempts I think I will be able to give away 3$.




My results overall were very different than expected because as I reflected from before it is very difficult to interfere with someone else’s business and someone taking a dollar from you is not “moral” in the eyes of someone. It was probably harder than expected and the results were quite as I expected!

One for the videos did not work, but still trying to put them in the comments. The first contestant as you see responded well, and the second in the library said "sure" so I took the money and walked away.

  1. Hi Alexa. I think that you had interesting approach to the assignment. I would think to use that excuse for why they need to take the dollar. I know that you predicted 3/5, but how many dollars were you able to give away? I took a more direct approach and if I wasn’t asked any follow up questions it was a give and I left.
    Here is my blog if you would like to see it.

  2. Hey Alexa,

    I like how straight forward you were with your dollar idea. You got straight to the point immediately and made a pretty valid excuse for giving away the dollar. Just wondering, how many out of five did you give away? If you want to check out mine the link is posted below.
