Throwback: part 2
Thinking about the documentary on human behavior we watched a while back, the incident that caught my attention the most was the McDonald's one. I thought it was rather weird how the manager and her fiance followed the procedure. I get that they thought the man on the phone was an "officer" but why wouldn't they have taken a step back and think "would an officer really call McDonald's to conduct a search over the phone?". I don't understand the mentality they had. Why would you ever think that an officer would call you to conduct a search? Why wouldn't you take a step back and think that maybe she shouldn't perform oral sex on you. But then I think, it probably all happened in a very short time frame and the manager and fiance probably really believed this con artist because he is most likely very persuasive. Another question that comes up in my brain is why would the man pretending to be the officer want the woman to perform oral sex on the fiance? What does he get out of it? Unless he saw it happen, I don't believe he got any sexual pleasures from it. I would like to know more about why he does these things and what he gets out of it.

I really have no idea why they placed so much stock in the phone guy. It reminds me of the human experiments like the Stanford prison , and Milgram experiment, where people will do unthinkable things when faced with authority.
ReplyDeleteI guess the same thing happened here, the Milgram coordinator was an official looking guy in a lab coat, and the phone guy was just offical-sounding. Human nature is really disturbing sometimes.
I still don't understand why some people could not logically think. seriously, who would believe a police man would call to work and say something stupid like that. At my work, only workers have the store number, no one outside of work can call directly to the store. Some people just don't think logically...
