This may be the best idea I’ve ever had. For two weeks, Irelinquished(放弃,放手)control over my decisions. I turned thereins(肾脏,腰部)over to perfect strangers.
At a Starbucks, I wasperspiring(流汗)heavily from a bike ride when I started to ask the woman beside me what I wanted to drink. She cut me off midway through myspiel(流利夸张的讲话)about how I was conducting a social experiment andwhatnot(放古董的架子,不可名状的东西).
“Just have a water, she said, snatching a bottle from the front case and thrusting it at me.
She herself ordered something that took thebarista(咖啡师)11 moves to make, but I was suddenly a model of simplicity: a sweaty man drinking cold water.
Moments later, I asked a man at the newsstand if I should become a night shaver instead of a morning shaver. I always wanted to be a night shaver—go to bed cleanly shaven and wake up with sexystubble(发茬,须茬)that would bealluring(诱惑的)until at least noon and...
“Absolutely not, the gentleman said.
I’m sure he’s right.
Later in the day, when I asked a sandy-haired woman at Old Navy to pick out a shirt for me, she quickly devoted herself to the cause.
“I want you to have acrisper(保鲜盒), cleaner look, she exclaimed.
I was still feeling crisp and clean when I stopped at the library. The mission: to give a stranger the chore of selecting a book for me to read.
