What do you do under peer pressure?
Speaking gibberish on internet talkboards since last Michaelmas. Plus here on Twitter -
I would never drink pints of Stella - or any other pish poor Lager.Originally posted by MrMark View PostDrink pints of Stella? Empty your tray in McDs?
Does McDs have trays? -
I empty my tray at McDonalds, but not because of peer pressure, but because I am happy with the meal and it is an easy thing to do. But if the service is poor or the table dirty, I don't bother.
I do react to 'peer pressure' on the road sometimes, which I have to be on the alert for. Say on a 30 mph stretch and someone tailgates. Unless the tailgater is very close, in which case I allow plenty of room in front and watch the tailgater in the rear view mirror and my speed avidly. It's a shame you can't legally thump those people, as they are endangering life as well as being annoying and provocative.
I, too often it seems, need to scold myself for following the crowd and not thinking or doing for myself, as the herd is all too often wrong. Can't think of an example at present. Oh hang on, there is McD again. You can be eyeing up the queues and some McD person directs you to one and you go as directed, instead of choosing your own. Their choice is not in your interest. Not quite peer pressure or following the crowd, but not acting for oneself is a related phenomenon.Comment

I have no peers.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
