I'm collecting examples of human irrationality..

Examples of human irrationality
  1. Pro golfers putt more accurately from all distances when putting for par than when putting for birdie because they fear the bogie more than they desire the birdie.
  2. Israeli parole boards grant parole to about 35 percent of the prisoners they see, except when they hear a case in the hour just after mealtime. In those cases, they grant parole 65 percent of the time.
  3. Shoppers will buy many more cans of soup if you put a sign atop the display that reads “Limit 12 per customer.
  4. More to come..!
