Day 3: First results(?)

Frustrated by previous days of experiments (or actually lack of people to experiment with), today I waited on the lobby for people to go to an elevator. I found my first victim and walked after her to the elevator. I smiled and thought positive things about her. The result: she spent the whole time looking at her shoes and seemed quite uncomfortable. Not what I was looking for.

I found my next victim on the afternoon. This time we were both waiting for an elevator in the lobby. Again: smile and happy thoughts. Suddenly this person started to talk with me. I knew this person by look, but we have never done any work together and I even don't remember his name. But he asked me how I am doing, how is business with my customer and so on. We talked for the whole ride from 7th to 1st floor.

Strange. People never start to talk to me in an elevator. Maybe this experiment is working after all?
