    ok I made a prop bet with my friend for only 60 dollars that he will sit in a refrigirator box for 8 hours.

    Here are the stipulations
    -he must sit on a bar stool the entire time
    -he has to stay awake the entire 8 hours
    - he has no contact with anyone or anything (need to figure this out due to the checking awakeness stipulation)
    -there will be little/no light(obvious problem with the awakeness checking)
    -no brake to poop or pee but if he wants he can do it in the box

    ok i was wondering if A. if you think he will be able to do it and B. what we can do about checking awakeness\light problem.. we were also thinking about just doing it in light(lamp connected to top and adding a webcam in there

    a couple things to add he is a 21 year old male and definity has a good motivation to do this(were both competitive with the each other and its definately possible for him to do it out of spight) and he is a typical college kid in that 60 dollars means a little something to him.

    ^^^^^^
    this is the hardest part of the deal

    If you feel like being cruel, don't give him a clock or watch and tell him he is done after 14 hours or so.

    just leave the light on and leave him in the room, checking on him every hour. i would also allow him a 30 pack of tecate because 1. he will be bored as fuck 2. he might get drunk as shit and fall off the stool, crushing the box

    the whole point of the 60 dollars was it being around minimum wage for him to do this and we just decided on 60 as close enough

    I think you should pay more than minimum wage. He's not doing work that is killing those 8 hours fast, he's sitting in a fucking box doing nothing. If he's allowed to bring shit like an ipod or psp in there then it's a completely different story.

    Is this going to be with the door closed? Refrigerators are made air-tight and are considered dangerous if left outside where kids can close themselves in one and suffocate. If you are doing this without the door then nevermind.

    This is def like a $200+ prop bet... I wouldn't sit in there for more than 2 hours for $60.

    Plus if he has to take a shit or piss his pants, the smell is gonna make it even tougher.

    I'd probably do it for like $500.

    ya 60 seems pointless even if your a broke student. Why not put him in a clean portopotti?

    What does he win after doing this? Just 60 bucks? Or do u owe him something on top of it..

    offer him $100 to sit in a portapotty for 8 hrs. Find one that has been used, but not too rank. After 8 hrs push that thing over, that way you both win.

    ok he INSISTED that he would be able to do this for minimum wage and said people wouldnt mind doing this for a job. there is a tiny drive through coffee box type thing near our place which is where this bet originated. i said it would be a shitty job he said it wouldnt be that bad and obviously we took it to the extreme with this bet as in a coffee place there is interaction and such but he deffinately accepted all the stipulations. and again alot of this is to just prove me wrong and such and again the money has very little to do with this bet and motivation so the whole "pointless" argument doesnt exactly work

    (they lock from the outside)

    (they used to)

    (I used to watch Punky Brewster)

    When I read this thread, I went youtubing looking for that clip. Cherry was the young lasses name. And that episode gave me an irrational fear of refridgerators for a solid 3 years.

    Eight hours sitting in the dark with nothing to do is a LONG TIME.

    Two hours is as long as I could stand it, after that the motivation would have to increase exponentially.

    I think in order to check if he is on the stool at all times and not sleeping. Is have the top of the box open with a camera pointing down into it.

    maybe have a small clock so he knows your not fucking with him. Plus nothing worse then staring at a clock all day. Have had jobs like that.

    If your nice give him a box of crayons let him Picasso that box up.

    cut a square piece out of the box where his face would be. tape a piece of window screen in the square. Then put the piece of cardboard back overtop the screen. Flip the piece of cardboard periodically to check on him abiding by the rules of the bet
