Got it, don't approach anyone ever.
Considering the general consensus so far is that it's better for a woman to approach a wild bear than a random, unassuming man, if that's the best game we've got, I think you're right.
I am just tempted to print out that wikihow thing onto 15 pages, approach someone, and start following it step by step, reading it from the paper.
Do it. Obviously stop if the person isn't responding well, but that's some primo performance art
cool, yah. as long as the audience can decline and leave, it's a performance. Otherwise it's harrasment -- fortunately the other article covers the finer points of avoiding cornering people or behaving like a stalker pretty well.
Honestly it might actually be funnier to do it on a street corner at nobody and everybody. And be sure to pick a place that's friendly to performance art
yes!
