You are driving down the road in your Corvette 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. This is great, below.................... 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.'
Fuck that. I'd blow by all of them. It's raining and stormy. If I owned a Corvette, I wouldn't care about shit but protecting my Vette. They're likely wet and dirty. Gotta keep my ride in tip-top shape, so I blow by, maybe splash them all and pickup the girl in a week or two (girls like it when you treat them like shit, so I'd probably still score).
I would pick up my friend. That's the most honest answer. Most people are too chicken to hit on a hot chick at a bus stop, and most people would never notice or care about an old lady that looks sick. That's the truth. Hell, I'd be willing to wager that many people would walk past an old lady with obvious heart attack symptoms. There was that TV show that had the guy grabbing the little girl to see if anyone would stop him. The only people who actually stopped to help were three young black guys. Hell, most people would probably blow past the bus stop entirely if they felt they had somewhere to be.
I'd put the old bag in the passenger seat, let the blonde straddle the gearshift knob, drive 10 mph, and have my friend run alongside so I could argue Blazers.
This is a question my firm asks all applicants. Most people that apply here answer that they would use their cell phone to call for help and offer the old lady a seat in their car until help showed up. What;s funny about that is there is no need to call for help, so everyone who answers it that way is shown to be ingenuine
Well, lol, then those psychologists should see a psychologist who specializes in teaching sociopaths to stop being such insensitive assholes...
I'm going to play devil's advocate, ABM. How do you know this is the woman of your dreams? All you have is a quick glance of her at a bus stop. She may be drop dead gorgeous but she may also be shallow, self centered, vicious, greedy, backstabbing, stupid, violent, or an absolute sweetheart who is married to someone else. Also, posing this question to a male employee assumes he's straight, and also presumes the woman is straight.
Not to be confrontational, but how do you figure? The questions are: 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. Where is the gender-preference presumption? Sincere question...
Oh come on... if she's hot, she's the woman of ABM's dreams. The rest gets sorted out either before the wedding or in divorce court.
I would lend my car to the man whom saved my life, so he can drive that lady to the hospital. Since he saved my life, he can do the same for the old lady and obviously knows me enough to get the car back to me. Then I would stay with that sexy partner, as she would be so enamored by my act of kindness, that she goes into the bushes with me to get me off. EDIT: Fuck I didn't see your scroll down! Dude you should have left it blank until everyone answered dude!
