I need to break a social norm for my social psychology class. Please give me some ideas!! It can't be unethical or illegal in any way!

Just wear something odd:
-A helmet, a bathrobe as suggested by so many, underwear outside pants, wear only one sock, wrap toilet paper around your waist.
have fun, be creative!

Touch someone once for every word you say to them. You will have to becareful with this one since some people may get violent with their personal space being invaded.
Dance in the grocery store while you shop. Safer, but you will get some looks...lol
Avoid all eye contact or stare at the person you are talking to. This will make people really not sure if they can trust you.
Pick a random word and say it every 3 words, no matter what the conversation is. Pick something like a color or you can say your pets name.

Not saying hello to anyone(?) No please, no thank you or you're welcome. No handshake when meeting someone but instead just staring at the person after they've introduced themselves. How about not looking at others when they are speaking or when you are speaking.
To add to what someone else mentioned, how about keeping one's cellphone on one's desk while the ringer is left on. And how about walking past someone while talking loudly on one's cellphone instead of going off to the side of the room for the conversation. Also, wearing a baseball cap indoors especially at work or in school.

If hardly ever every physique wears suits at your college then wearing a healthful could desire to be seen a wreck interior the social norm. you will possibly prefer to video show reactions very heavily for this one as many will purely prepare their concepts by using their physique language. good success!

Wear a kimono/bathrobe all day long? Or even better... a bathing suit.
Chew with your mouth open/eat with your fingers. Plates optional.
Walk on the left side of a crowded hallway (right side if you're from England).

My first thought was...nah, nudity is definitely illegal.
How about bringing a boombox into class and playing it loudly. I don't know if this is socially acceptable or not anymore, but you'd be breaking something (eardrums maybe.)

Break wind in the middle of your class and act like nothing happened. Then pray it don't stink.
