Girl me TOO and let me tell you I think you’d love a guy called Rory Sutherland, advertising guy and behavioural economist, he has so many examples of this! He’s on tiktok and done loads of podcasts. My fave one was about a workplace who had an insane amount of consistent complaints about their elevator being slow, we’re talking over many years. Instead of them paying for faster elevators, they put mirrors in the elevators. The complaints stopped! They had something else to occupy their time!

My dad told me the story of a library that was moving buildings. They got a huge quote for moving all the books across town. So they asked their patrons to come check out at many books as was reasonable for them (a trunk full or a backpack full, whatever) and return them in a month to the new location!

The best one I heard was about this guy who would cross the Mexican American border on a bicycle with two bags of sands and the guards would search the sand daily and he’s actually smuggling bicycles.

a guy built a machine that when you deposited a bottle cap a small bird treat would come out. he then trained a crow how to deposit & get a treat. apparently he lived near a huge bar area that was LITTERED with 1000s of caps. within a short time the whole area was totally clean!

A memory care facility had issues with residents wandering off and having to track them down and keep them safe, so they came up with this amazing idea to create a bus stop shelter (where no buses stopped) outside the building and resident wanting to wander off would go sit waiting for the next bus to head to their perceived destination. The staff could then go sit and chat and distract them to get them back home and settled. ❤️

A university used to build sidewalks right away when constructing new buildings, but people kept ignoring them and creating their own shortcuts through the grass. So, when they added a new set of buildings, they tried something different—they didn’t build any sidewalks at first. Instead, they waited a few months to see where students and staff naturally walked. The paths that formed in the grass showed exactly where people wanted to go, and the university then paved the sidewalks directly over those worn trails.

Theres the example in India where people were getting hit by trains while crossing tracks due to the optical illusion that made it seem the trains were moving slower than they really were. The solution wasn’t to build barriers or anything extensive or slow like that, it was simply to spray paint horizontal yellow lines along the parts of the track where people walked across, which removes the optical illusion resulting in a huge decrease in fatalities. Great topic by the way!

In ancient China a General was very low on arrows so he lined the outside of his boats with slabs of cork, then he sailed his boats past the enemy, who then fired arrows at the boats. He ended up with plenty of arrows for the upcoming battle

My mam put some wooden dining chairs outside her house with a sign saying "free", 2 days later they were still there. She changed the sign to £20, and someone stole them that night 😂

I was re-designing a donation form for an organization. There were checkboxes for $1, $5, $10, $25 plus a blank field. When I moved the “fill in your own price” field from before the $1 to after the $25, donations came pouring in. People were interpreting it as “I can give less than a dollar.” based on the placement. Afterwards they thought “I can give more than $25.”

A guy tried for years to get the council to allow him to put up a shade structure a roof and four poles for his horses so he built a gigantic table with two chairs because there's no law on how big your tables and chairs could be!

Working in a tough housing estate kids used to climb on the church roof, my colleague would get shouted at and get abuse from kids on the roof (even when the police where called) so I instead got out my phone (got abuse) but said ‘no I’m not calling the police, I’m waiting in case you fall to phone an ambulance cos it’s a 12ft drop and you’ve weakened the roof- the kids camedown and no more issues after that

Young "punks" would hang out near a business and ran off their older customers. They piped a high pitched sound outside that the young ears could hear, but was too high for the older crowd. Cleared them out right quick.

Someone at Ford had the bright idea of getting the night workers to compete with the day workers. By chalking up the number of cars the night shift produced. The day shift worked harder and produced more. Then the night shift saw they were out done etc....

There was a woman who was constantly late or missing work because she had OCD and was terrified her hair straightener was still on, so she had to go back to check. Her therapist told her to start putting it in her purse and bringing it with her. Problem solved.
