Not sure whether you have the chance to notice this interesting thing around us these days. Here are some of the interesting "happening" around me and not sure whether you could agree with me in some of it:
1. When you go out in a group, especially to a foreign place, you tend to order the same thing/drink as the first person would order. For instance, if the first joker order a barley ice, 80% of the people in the group will order the same thing.
2. We tend to complain that we dont have time to do our own things and blame it to our work and traffic jam; but we have alot of time to kill infront of the TV set or in Cinema even in the midst of business.
3. We tend to follow the crowd in deciding what to buy in the supermarket, this is called peer pressure. For example, a promoter will tell you that alot of people buying this stuff and instantly you'll lower down the alertness and tend to buy the unnecessary stuff just because everyone in the world having it.
4. While driving through a toll booth we tend to go for the one with cars and dont dare to try the one without cars especially at the Touch N Go booth fearing that the bar will not work at our turn especially true when you have a bad experience with it before.
5. (just added) Do you notice that the way you dry yourself after taking a bath is the same sequence since you were young? The moment you change the sequence you'll just feel "something is wrong somewhere" :)

erm.. i agree with Tim....
all these are called peer pressure or in a more scientifically terms it is our sub conscious mind that follow as it is a well proven paths... it is nothing to do with self-control..
but u see.. once you said it here... the next time u go out with ur friend, they will tend to consciously order other drinks that you had ordered :)

Next time, when i go out makan with tim, i will make sure i order different drink from tim OR mayb i be the 1st one to order. Btw, barley ice is a common drink can be found in any kopitiam.
