I would have assumed you had a plan before you stood on the corner asking questions. Maybe you decided:

- how many people you wanted to talk to - the type of people (kids, working adults, homeless, men, women, etc) - the response you were expecting from the interaction - the number of responses you were expecting

Now, did the results of your experiment meet the criteria for your test and if so, were the responses actionable?

I would say you were crazy and wasted your time if you didn't already have an idea of what you were trying to accomplish. Otherwise, I'd say, "Great! What did you find out".
