What do you think of this: people react strictly on the basis of their own experience?

Question

Say you walk around with a $10 bill trying to give it away just by saying "here take this." what would happen?

What if your appreance was that of a wallstreet businessman or whatnot?
Or that of a homeless person? would that have any effect on this?

Answer 1

people react out of fear or on instinct. it's that old fight or flight survival code in our DNA. it would be (for most) what the hell you're in my space, threes a catch, he's nuts I'm outta here, bye bye. a few who've dumbed down their reflexes would probably take it be very appreciative and clingy . oh thank you thank you so much blah blah these people are victims waiting to happen, always trusting everyone without a thought as to what might happen.

Answer 2

Some people would be cautious about taking it, other might take it and run figuring what the hell. But acting strictly based on personal experience is the base some people used to form their own opinion is their only option at times.

Answer 3

What, other than experience, do we have to base our actions on? I believe some people would turn me down, and some would accept the money.

Answer 4

People would shy away because they would think you were nuts. I will settle for 2 points. Have a nice day.

Answer 5

I think that some might be hesitant in taking it simply cause I'm from NY and ain't nothing free.

Answer 6

People would take it.

Answer 7

Someone would happily take it from you. They might even thank you for it.

Answer 8

it's very unusual behavior and people would be very suspicious.
because they are expecting a catch.

Answer 9

they will take it
