Never forget to 'Think Outside of the Box - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

2. An old friend who once saved your life.

3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?
Think before you continue reading.

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS....................

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. He simply answered: 'I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.'

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations.

Never forget to 'Think Outside of the Box.'

He would of gained the same thing if he just took the hot chick. Buy letting some old lady that is almost dead in his car, it probally smells like moth balls, then the wet guy got your seat wet.

What if your car crashes and the old lady and bff die, the families turn around and say your car was at fault. And when you finally creep the dream girl out. She maces you, kicks you the nuts, and brings you up on sexual harassment charges.

the sad thing is that this could easily happen in reality lol.

Outlawstar98 · 11-11-2009, 08:05 PM

I would let the old lady drive my car before I let any of my friends drive my car... HAHA.

I'd tell those slackers to go buy a goddam car.

but on a serious note, interesting dilemma and creative solution.

den9 · 11-12-2009, 06:08 PM

how about you call a god damn ambulance for the lady. who the hell is sitting around a bus stop watching some lady die?

Scapegoat · 11-12-2009, 07:09 PM

I'd drive through the puddle closest to them.

Buuuuut, i'd really pick up my friend. The hot chick is probably a complete psycho if she's my perfect mate... and the old lady dying... eh... I don't see old people
