Something Fishy by Rin Brooker, Jesse Roberts

Rin: Fishing for something that isn't fish is a surefire way to get strange looks, so why stop at that when you can engage nonplayers?
Today Jesse Roberts and I went our fishing for compliments. Our method of getting compliments was simple, carry around signs asking for them. The two that worked best were my "How do I look?" and Jesse's "Do you like my pants?" We started at around noon and got our last compliment of the day around 10:30pm. In between those times we got well over 100 compliments but most people were camera shy and wouldn't let us take their picture. We managed to get just short of a dozen who would repeat their compliments for the camera.
Something I was surprised about was that while some people averted their gaze with steel determination, not a single person jeered or was unkind. Fishing for compliments was an overall good time!

I loved the guy with the Health/Science book who almost told Rin that he loved her, because hey, what's not to love?
Too bad we didn´t got to see the so-thoroughly-liked pants.

Excellent! I always wondered how effective fishing for compliments would be.
