Scruples Game

[SerendipityCrafts]

Post a scruples question. The next in line has to answer (& provide an explanation only if they want to) and then post a question of their own.

Your long standing boyfriend/fiance breaks off your engagement without any explanation. He asks you to return the engagement ring he gave you. Do you?

[NicksBride]

No, because he was the one who wanted to end it. If I ended it, then I would give it back. He dumped me, no way he is getting that back. :)


You go out with girlfriends for the night without your FH, they all dare you to go and kiss a guy on the check for $50. Do you?

[ladymelissa]

I wouldn't b/c I don't really need or want $50 that bad, but I do not believe it is wrong to kiss some guy on the cheek, esp. if it didn't mean anything in a romantic way. In many cultures (like France, for example) a cheek kiss is a standard greeting or goodbye, similar to a handshake. Maybe if the stakes were higher... but in any case I would also start to seriously wonder about my choice in friends.

You are getting out of your car at the mall and the wind takes hold of your door pushing it into the car next to you, leaving a gash in the other car's paint, what do you do?

[BriansBride07]

I would leave a note attached under their windshield explaining what had happened with my phone number so they could contact me.

You are housesitting for a neighbor and go to feed her pets when you find her in the living room with someone other than her husband. Do you say anything or polietly leave, or do you tell her husband??

[cowboysbride]

Turn around and walk out....none of my business...


You're standing in line at the grocery store and the person in front of you drops a 10.00 bill on the ground in front of you and doesn't notice....do you bend down and pick it up and put it in your pocket or hand it to them?

[hummingbird521]

since I saw the person drop it I would tap them on the shoulder and return it. Someone might do this for me someday.

If you saw your neighbors 10 year old sneaking a cig behind his house would you tell the neighbor?

[SerendipityCrafts]

It's automatic ... I would hand it back to them. I wouldn't even consider pocketing the money.

You overhear a collegue talking about quitting & going to work for the competition. Do you tell your boss what you know, either before the person has left or after?

[BriansBride07]

I would not tell my boss that is btw. them.

Your 5 yr old takes a piece of candy from the local dept. store and you don't notice till you get home what would you do?

[hummingbird521]

Take them back to the store immediatly. If not taught now might never be taught correctly.

If you know your child cheated on a test at school would you talk to the teacher or talk only to your child?

[BriansBride07]

I would talk to the child the first time. The second time it happened if it did then I would also bring in the child's teacher into the conversation.

Your out and about doing your daily errands and you see someone spank there child what do you do?

[Goin2thechapel]

I turn the other way. I had a problem with opening my mouth about such things in public before.

You and your FH are out and about and you bump into an EX. Do you introduce your FH and talk a little, or smile and walk by?

[rainbowtreat]

I intorduce them but not sure I would stay and chat.


Your broke it off with a guy and your best freinds moves in ( rather it just kinda happened or they intended it to happen ) do you remain friends with her or cut the ties?

[CindySue]

I guess it really would depend on how the relationship ended. If I was friends with the ex and I thought him and my friend made a good match, I would be happy for them and stay connected. However me and my friends have an unspoken rule that we do not date the others exs - no matter what.

You have a friend that has an arrest warrant out for them and they cant be located by authoritities, but you know where they are. Even though you have NOT been questioned, do you inform the police or keep your mouth shut and hope your friend takes care of things?

[SaralovesMike]

Wow, my FBIL's girlfriend's daughter's boyfriend (whew!) has a warrant out for his arrest. Total loser! It is very hard to keep quiet, but no one wants to get involved. FH keeps saying if this guy doesn't turn himself in he's gonna do it for him!

Your family member has a drinking problem, you know they've been drinking and they get behind the wheel of a car. Do you call the authorities or hope they get home safely?

[SerendipityCrafts]

Your family member has a drinking problem, you know they've been drinking and they get behind the wheel of a car. Do you call the authorities or hope they get home safely?

I would call the authorities if I was a direct witness. I would even go so far as to call while he/she was still there if they refuse to give me their keys. Sometimes, you just gotta get tough.

Your running late, the kids are screaming in the back seat, you just have to get to the bank before it closes, the parking lot is full with the exception of the handicapped parking space and some spaces at the far far end of the lot. Do you park in the handicapped space?

[Goin2thechapel]

Yup. It'll only be for a minute, and I understand thier are handicapped people that could use the spot, but with screaming kids in the back and being late, that qualifies a woman to be handicapped for a minute!

If you saw you best friends husband (Of 1 week) cheating on her, would you tell her?

[WebLady]

If you saw you best friends husband (Of 1 week) cheating on her, would you tell her?
I would probably tell her that I saw him with another girl and let her take it from there.

You and your DH/FH are out with friends (separatly) and you happen to see your man while out and he is talking with another woman you don't know. What do you do?

[BriansBride07]

You and your DH/FH are out with friends (separatly) and you happen to see your man while out and he is talking with another woman you don't know. What do you do?

Personally I would go up to my FH and say hey whats up nicely of course. Also while looking at his body language to see if it is just friendly.

Your daughter at the age of 15 comes home and says mom i'm pregant what do you say to her. Give it up for adoption, have an abortion, or we will get through this together and sit down and have a long talk with her?

[ladymelissa]

Your daughter at the age of 15 comes home and says mom i'm pregant what do you say to her. Give it up for adoption, have an abortion, or we will get through this together and sit down and have a long talk with her?

I would talk to her and we would consider all the options together.

You are in a major hurry to get to the airport to catch a flight for a business trip, on the way you stop at an ATM machine for some cash. You notice it accidently gave you an extra $20. What do you do?

[WebLady]

You are in a major hurry to get to the airport to catch a flight for a business trip, on the way you stop at an ATM machine for some cash. You notice it accidently gave you an extra $20. What do you do?This actually happened to me at the drive through once, but I returned it then. But if it was at the ATM, I'd probably just take it ... I rarely count it anyway, probably should.

You agree to pet sit for a friend and their dog is just awful while in your care. I mean this dog is the most ill behaved, untrained, destructive mongrel you have ever seen. Do you tell them the truth when they ask "How was the little guy?" Or do you just say he was fine?

[ladymelissa]

I would say something like, "we managed, but it was obvious Roofus missed you so much." I would only explain further if they asked why a doggie bed had been set up in the garage.

You are a BM in your best friend's wedding. About 20 minutes before the ceremony you overhear the GMs and the groom talking about how the groom had sex with an old flame the night before (as sort of a one, last time fling). What do you do?

[BriansBride07]

Wow that's a tough call but I think that I would have to tell the soon to be bride. Even though they are beginning to walk down the isle. Since he didn't think about there new life together the night before.

Your teenager is talking in a chat room you walk in and look over her shoulder to see what's she is typing about. You read that she/he are going to meet someone in a couple of days off the internet. What do you say to him/her?

[ladymelissa]

Your teenager is talking in a chat room you walk in and look over her shoulder to see what's she is typing about. You read that she/he are going to meet someone in a couple of days off the internet. What do you say to him/her?

First I would dig up some stats on people who get abducted, raped and murdered by doing such things. Then we would have a long talk about personal safety and when and how to meet people in a good way, (like school or church organizations) or at the very least in a very public place, when she is old enough to be a good judge of character. I would also stress the importance of her at least telling me where she is going at all times, so I would be able to effectively start looking for her if the worst were to happen.

Then I would search through the internet history on the computer and try to determine the age of the person she was supposed to meet. If they were an adult, I would turn the conversation over to the police so they might be able to catch that predator.


You are an advertising executive (and worked extremely hard to get where you are and it is your dream job) for a children's clothing line and are looking for models for the company's new catalog. Your sister keeps pushing her child for a position. In all honesty your sister's child is not model material and quite frankly really ugly and very overweight. You keep giving your sister excuses that you want someone with experience through a modeling agency, but your sister will not take no for an answer and insists that her child will catch on and be able to do the job. She even told her kid that you were looking for models, so now the kid is hounding you. If you did put the kid in the catalog, you would be fired or at least severely demoted with a huge black mark on your record. What do you do?

I would try to blame it on a "company policy" like not working with family and hope that would do the trick ;) If not then I guess I would have to politely tell her than the company was looking for a model with another body type.

You and your SO have been planning a romantic evening alone together (that you haven't been able to have in a long time) then the day of a friend calls and is having some sort a crisis. Do you blow off the friend or blow off the date?

[hummingbird521]

It would depend on what the crisis is? More than likely blow off the friend though.

You ask a girlfriend via email for some advice and instead of advice she responds with another email telling you what a sorry DH you have and how you should divorce him. Do you ignore the email because you know she drinks and says what she feels or do you respond back to her?

Ignore it and chalk it up to it being a bad decision on my part to even ask her opinion.

Someone knocks on your door. You see a well dressed woman, clean and well spoken. She tells you that she has locked her keys in her apartment and she has to take a cab to her husband's place of work to get his set. She offers to leave her purse with you if you could just give her money for the cab fair ($40). How would you handle the situation? No joke, this actually happened to us just a week or two ago.

Since I generally will not open the door to unexpected people who I don't know she probably would have to go elsewhere. If, by some chance she did catch me, I would let her use my phone to call the landlord or I would at least shout through the door that I would call the landlord for her.

Wait a minute, if she has her purse then she must at least have money or a credit card. In that case I'd tell her to get lost and assume she was up to no good.

The annoying, office gossip is about to make a sales presentation to very important clients. As she walks past your desk you notice the back of her skirt is tucked into her pantyhose. What do you do?

You always pride yourself on your professional attitude in and out of the work place ... your friend finally gets you to let your hair down and go out for drinks and dancing. While out your boss sees you having 'too good' of a time. What do you do come Monday morning?

Go in an invite him out for a drink next week :)


You're given a promotion to a higher position. You overhear people talking about how you didn't deserve it and it should have gone to someone else. Do you confront those jealous workers? If yes, How?

[WebLady]

Your best friend is dating a new guy ... She goes on and on about how great he is and that she just may be in love. She introduces you to her new boyfriend over dinner at her place. After dinner you offer to help her with the dishes. The BF offers to help too and says the friend should just relax ... while in the kitchen he makes comments about you and how he has always wanted to be with two women. Do you tell your friend?

I'd stand up and say (really, really loudly to make sure my friend overheard) something along the lines of, "Well, you'll have to keep looking! I am NOT like that, I am appalled!" Then I would leave the room.

You see a pregnant woman smoking. Do you say or do anything to her?

[SaralovesMike]

I guess it would depend who it is?
Family member or close friend yes I would say something. Someone I don't know probably not.

The teacher asks if you wrote your child's book report. Your son/daughter claimed he did it but the teacher's right. Do you admit it?

[ladymelissa]

The teacher asks if you wrote your child's book report. Your son/daughter claimed he did it but the teacher's right. Do you admit it?

I could not imagine actually writing a whole report for my child, no matter what. But if I did, yes I would admit it and vow to never, ever do that again. If you don't have open communication with the teacher your child would be the one to suffer the most.

You are dog sitting for your friend at her place and you are supposed to come by 2 or 3 times a day to walk and take care of the dog. Your afternoon meeting ran way over, so you got there really late. The dog had gotten into her closet and destroyed 2 pairs of very expensive, designer shoes. The damages are about $1000. What do you do?

Explain to her exactly what happened and how I ran late to get there. Apoligize to her but also explain that their was nothing I could do about it. IMO she should have shut her closet door when she left so really she is the one at fault here.

You are in line at the grocery store and are running late for a doctor's appt. Their is a much older lady in front of you who is handicapped and leaves the line to go to the bathroom. She asks you to hold her place for her. Do you do so or take her place in line?

Wow this is a tough one. I think that I would tell the cashier to hurry and ring me up and then continue to hold her space for her. She will be a min. in the bathroom then I can continue onto my doctors appt.

You are talking to your best friend on the phone and you hear her husband come through the door screaming at her over nonsense. You hear a crack and the phone drops to the floor. Do you hang up the phone, run over to see her or call the cops. Your not really sure what happened?
?

[WebLady]

Do you hang up the phone, run over to see her or call the cops. Your not really sure what happened??I guess it depends on if I knew they has a history of arguements or not. If she didn't come back to the phone and was close by I might go by there. If she had some 'cover story' and/or bruises the next time I saw her I would talk to her about pressing charges. As sad as this kind of thing is, you can't make the woman leave, she has to want to do it for herself. So I would just make sure she knew she had friends and a place to go if she needed.

You are out shopping and you see a woman with about 3 young kids in tow. The kids are rowdy and disturbing, and the woman doesn't seem to be able or care to keep them under control. Do you say anything to her?

[CindySue]

Yeah....and how do you know that you wouldnt have found the same mess if you had been on time?

Probably not, because most moms like that are just so frustrated they seem like they might go postal


Holidays have been fast approaching, and your inlaws have been really wishy washy on their plans then finally deciding on going out of state. Not wanting to make that drive, you and your hubby make plans with your family right down to the menu. Then less than a week before, your inlaws have changed their plans and are having a big thing at THEIR house and are very upset that you made other plans. Hubby kind of acts like he want to go to his folks just to keep the peace, but you have been helping your mom plan a dinner for 15 people and really have no intentions of leaving her stranded. Do you let hubby go his way and you go yours?
(FYI - this really happened with my ex - at several different holidays!!!!)

I would have to let him go his way as he is an adult. I would certainly express my displeasure, but that is all I could do. If that sort of thing happens all the time, we probably would not be together forever though.

You are in line at the grocery store, someone cuts in front of you with only a handful of items. Do you say anything?

This happens to me every year what I do is this I tell everyone that if you want me their then you will need to have different time lines. What I do is have my own dinner around noon then clean up and go to my moms and stay for her dinner at around 2 then off to the inlaws for dinner at 5 that way everyone seen us and we are stuffed to the gills.

You are out at a fast food resturant eating some lunch with your friends when a lady walks in with a small child. The child is screaming that they didn't want that fast food that they wanted another one. The mother hauls off and slaps the child in the face and tells the child not to talk like that to her. What do you do?

[CindySue]

The thing is that she used the guilt trip BS on my ex to get him to do stuff. I refused to cancel plans with my family because USUALLY we tried to make plans with them 1st and when they didnt have anything planned, thats when Id get with mine.

You are in line at the grocery store, someone cuts in front of you with only a handful of items. Do you say anything?
Probably not. I let people with just a few items in front of me all the time.

This is a toughy because she could be arrested on the spot for that kind of stuff now days. I do know how it feels to want to choke the sh*t out of a disrespectful child.....havent done it, but oh how Ive wanted to. What I would probably do is say something to the child about treating their mom that way and then offer to buy the mom an ice cream.


A bill collector calls, do you take the call or "take a message?"

I would probably just give her a look or maybe say something in passing, but I am not going to get involved in all that. It was in a public place, I'm sure someone else would say or do something.

Probably just 'take a message' ;)

You are making a purchase at your favorite store, the clerk doesn't speak to you while ringing up your things and doesn't even tell you the total (assumes you see it on the screen). You pay and she just throws your receipt in the bag and pushes it towards you, all without saying a word. Do you complain? (This has happened to me before)

It really depends on my mood, what kind of store it is and how much time I had. If I really had some extra time and it was a store that gives commission to employees on their sales, I would say I changed my mind right after they neglected to tell me the total, then go get the exact same items and take them to another employee to ring up. If nothing else I would probably ask to speak to the manager.

Someone at the gym does not clean the equipment after their extremely intense cardio workout, despite the availability of towels and cleaner. In the gym's contract and rules of conduct, this would be unacceptable. What would you do?

I would probably just clean the machine myself (I use to do that anyway) if I saw the same person do this again, I would probably mention it to the management.

I dont know, I guess it would depen on if I coul tell if the dog is just difficult to walk or it looks like its a "dognapping". Mine will do good sometimes but then he will see something he want to chase and it takes everything Ive got to hold on to him. And yes, I will be jerking and yelling.:bbredface:

Your hubby has a best friend that drinks entirely too much and it a very loud and obnoxious person. You dont care to be around this person, but you do not deny your hubby from his friend because he doesnt act different when there together. Hubby doesnt spend a lot of time around this friend (thankgoodness) but when he does, he wants you there with him and wont go sometimes if you wont. The friend has made comments in front of several people that you are keeping your hubby from him and hubby doesnt clarify that its his choice not yours not to go(usually because he doesnt hear them). What do you do?

I would stick to my guns and not hang out with this person. But I would say to DH that I would appreciate it if he does tell these people that I do not try to alienate DH from them and it is completely his (DH's) choice (schedule, whatever reason other than me he decides to give is fine) when he does not go out.

You are cooking Christmas dinner for your whole family (like 15 people). Everyone is in another room socializing and you accidentally drop the prime rib roast on the floor while transferring it to a serving platter and no one knows. Do you serve it anyway?

[CindySue]

Absolutley. If Im having 15 people at my house then its going to be super super clean anyway. Besides theres the 5 second rule...........

You hear a friend/family member/DH relaying a story to someone else and they grossly exaggerate it. Do you say something in front of the other person or wait until your alone?

LOL yep! but only after I rinse it under the tap with scalding hot water.

If I am having 15 people over for dinner, I know my place was cleaned within an inch of it's life beforehand.

Secondly - I myself am not afraid of a little dirt. Apparently we consume about 4-5 lbs of it in our lifetime :) They are more likely to get sick off each other from shaking hands, or kissing goodbye.



You are out to dinner with friends when you notice someone pass by a table and lift the tip that was meant for the waitress. Do you say something? To whom?

Oooops ... me make mistake.

I say something to them in front of other people. "Hey hey hey ... that's not fair .... that's not nice ..... you aren't really saying that are you?"

Now my question -

You are out to dinner with friends when you notice someone pass by a table and lift the tip that was meant for the waitress. Do you say something? To whom?

[CindySue]

Id probably holler out "Hey thats not yours".

Your best friend calls you and says she cheated on her husband (which you dont really care for anyway) and that she used you as an alibi. Her husband calls you and checks........what do you do?

I would have told my friend not to get me involved when she told me about the affair. Then I would try to avoid the husband, that is what caller ID is for ;)

Your sister wants to take you to dinner, but she wants to go to her fav restaurant (which you don't really care for) do you make a fuss or just go?

I would have told my friend not to get me involved when she told me about the affair. Then I would try to avoid the husband, that is what caller ID is for ;)

Great answer on Cindy's, I really didn't know what I would have done! Cindy, that was a really good scruple situation!

Back on topic:

Since she is taking me (meaning she's paying) then I would go where ever she wants. If we were each paying for ourselves I would let it go the first time, but after that I would say, it's my turn to pick.

Your MIL bought you a sweater for Christmas and it's not exactly your style (to say the least). Do you keep it and wear when you see her or do you return it for something you really love?

This has happened before but with a shirt instead, I thanked her for the shirt when I recieved it. The next time I seen her she asked if the shirt fit and I simply told her that it was to small and it showed my stomach so I had to return it for another one. It worked Thank god.

You are going to the bathroom in a fancy resturant when on your way a waiter comes out of a door and you can see into the kitchen and see one of the cooks drop a plate on the floor and then proceed to replate the meal. Do you continue onto the bathroom and just ignore it and hope its not your meal, or do you exit the resturant as fast as you can you don't want any part of that place again??

I probably have to leave ... I'm sure this happens from time to time, but if I actually knew about it I couldn't eat there, I'd wonder if it was my food, restaurant floors are nasty!

You are outside and happen to hear one of your neighbors fighting down the road. Then they bring it outside and you see the girl beating up on the guy ... what do you do?

Get out my binoculars! :bblol: I would call the police if it got really ugly, if it looks like he might be seriously injured.

Your best friend has bad credit, but begs you to cosign for a cell phone for her b/c she is on the road a lot for work, do you?

[SerendipityCrafts]

I would call 911 without hesitation (and exagerate the situation so that they move quicker) and then yell out to tell him that the cops are on their way.

Your coworker borrows money for lunch but seems to forget she owes you. The next time she asks for lunch money, how do you handle it?

[SerendipityCrafts]

LOL ok even our questions were similar.

Nope, I wouldn't cosign. If it was something that was required to do her job, then her employer should get the phone for her.

I would tell her no and then remind me that she still owes me from last time.

You are on the highway and see that a young women with a few small kids are on the side of the road you assume that her car broke down. But its been on the news that there is a murderer in the area and they think its a women. DO you stop or just call the police and get her some help??

I wouldn't worry about it...there is a difference in a work relationship,a nd a personal one. If I was treated differently because of our past relationship then the job REALLY isn't worth it.

My mom's a stylist I don't know how to answer this one without getting in trouble!
I think I would diplomatically tell her I was thinking about something different and if it was possible have her try to fix it.

You are a hairstylist and have been asked by your niece to do her hair for her wedding out of town. You agree and end up doing all her BM's as well as the MOB. The MOB's (who is also your sister in law) mother wants her hair done too, the wedding is in less than 2 hours, you haven't gotten yourself ready yet and you have to go back to your hotel to get ready. What do you say?
(this actually happened to my mom!)

You go through McDonalds Drive thru after a very LONG day..all you want is a crisy Chicken sandwich and a big Dr. Pepper. You get your food, and are half way home when you decide to open the bag and eat (because of the awesome smell, of course) and they gave you a Quarter Pounder, and a sudae that leaked all over instead of what you ordered...what do you do??

Your best friend asks you to baby sit her 2 yr old (a massive brat) while she goes to a big job interview. She says her ordinary sitter canceled on her and says you are her last hope. You don't have kids or a kid friendly home and really don't want to have to watch her kid, what do you do?

[CindySue]

Id come up with some sort of excuse and maybe offer to help her find someone else.

You share a job with another girl. You are constantly having to finish her work 1st before you can complete your part. You get fussed at by your boss for being slow with your duties.....what do you do?

EEKK that's a hard one. But I would have to confess to my boss the reasoning behind me being slow at my current duties in my job. Then I would let my boss handle it any way she saw fit.

You get a call that your DH just got into a car accident. Thankfully the only thing he suffored was a blow to the head that left him unconsious for 10 min. You rush to the hospital to see he is alright. The doctors state that he has some minor brain damage and he may never be the same. In a couple of days you are on your way home you realize that your husband no longer has the same personality that he had this morning. He is extremly rude and states that he no longer is in love with you. Also he tells you that he no longer wants to interact with you or your child. Do you stick with him to see if this is something that will pass or do you leave him and cut your 15 year marriage and go and find someone who will love you.

That actually happened to a couple i know, very sad!! I would keep on trying and trying but, like my friend found, things dont change and it becomes violent so i'd have to go then for the sake of my children!

If she is moaning and complaining then she doesn't have to be a part of MY day. I'd wait until the next time she acted this way and tell her that if she doesn't want to be the MOH she doesn't have to be. That or I'd just tell her I decided not to have a MOH and she could help if she wanted or she could just be a guest.

You are at a restaurant and you have somewhat bad service. The server is attentive, but not friendly. Do you complain, leave her a bad tip, or what?

[mariaandmanish]

I tend to tip more than the "expected" when I have a great friendly server and great service. When the server is attentive, but unfriendly, I generally will only leave the minimum required amount (meaning, I would simply double the tax).


You have a problem with your car and have to go to work late. You call your work and leave a message for your boss on the answering machine because no one answers the phone. When you get to work, you find out that your boss never even knew you were late. Do you tell your boss, or keep it to yourself?

[brewsells]

Well, it's already on the answering machine. I would still tell them.

[SerendipityCrafts]

"The teacher asks if you wrote your son's book report. Your son claimed he did it but the teacher's right. Do you admit it?"

I'd be honest and say no because there is NO WAY that I would ever do my kid's homework.

Kinda in the same boat here as well. I would try if possible and the distance was close enough to spend time with both families on the holiday. If this is not possible to do then I would alternate holidays each year. In turn I would expect my FH to do the same. If not then I woud spend it with my own family. and he could spend it with his.

It is raining one morning really really bad and all the kids in your house walk to school. step kids and your own child. step kids is on one end of the block while your own childs in on the opposite end. You don't have enough gas to take all to school. who do you take?

If letting one or the other walk (Which I would have the oldest do), then I would have someone get in touch with one of their friends and see if they ould get a ride to school.

You work for an aminal clinic and there is a sweet little dog there that has been abandoned. A certified letter has been sent to the owner relinquishing the dog. After 10 days she will be put to sleep unless someone takes her home. No one else in your office can take her and your husband has threatened divorce if you show up with another animal. You have even mentioned this one to him and he said it wasnt yalls problem. Do you bring the puppy home anyway and face the wrath of your husband?

**We actually had something like this happen at work. It was a guys dog and he went to work out of town. He and his girlfriend got into a fight so while hes still gone she brought the dog and dropped it off for a bath, and never came back to pick it up. We were finally able to get in touch with him and hes still out of town but will be back sometime next week and will come get her. His GF told him she thought the dog had been stolen.

[WhiskeyGirl]

I would bring the animal home until I could find a permanent home and since it's not a cat, Matthew wouldn't hate it too much! I couldn't let an animal be put down like that, it upsets me!

Maybe wear it while cleaning with bleach? Or tell her I was allergic to it or something.

You and DH had planned on spending Thanksgiving with his family. Then the people they usually get together with were moving to Oklahoma and the in-laws were going up there. You and DH didnt want to go that far so you discuss plans with your family. Yours might be out of town working (which for a bit looked like they would be), but if not then they will be having a Thanksgiving dinner there. You thought yours would be out of town and the in-laws would be gone too. Now both families are going to be in town and both planning a dinner (one set will be a hour drive one way and they other will be almost a hour drive in the other direction so trying to do both is out of the question.........what do you do?

[ladymelissa]

Your 14 year old son has gotten his 13 year old girl friend pregnant. what do you do?
Both sets of parents and the teens would all have to sit down eventually and come up with an agreement. In any event my son will be working to pay his share of any costs involved with whatever the girl and her family decide to do and spend whatever free time he had to support her and/or his share of raising the child if that is what was decided.

Your neighbor lets their cat out to room the neighborhood all the time. They also have a small dog and it gets out alot too. You have mentioned this in passing and they just make excuses and don't seem to care that the animals are out. The cat gets into your trash, poops in your yard and spooks your dog. The dog barks and chases you just about every time you pass their house while walking your dog.

Do you try one more time to get them to keep their animals inside or do you just call the pound?

Your new SIL is a real cow to you but everyone doesn't see why. They want you to basically hug and make up. Do you stand up for yourself and tell all of the inlaws off?

I would just tell the inlaws that it would be best if they stay out of it. I am capable of either working it out or not working it out with my SIL, without their help.

I'd ask them immediately to step down. starvation diets (as I'm sure everyone knows) are extremely unhealthy and can lead to anorexia or worse. I don't know why people think they need to be skinny to be in a wedding party! Sigh! Tell them right away that you don't like it and they are no longer in the wedding party UNTIL THEY EAT regularly and don't worry about their weights!!

Your FIL and BIL are coming to town and need a place to stay. Unfortunately they think they can stay at your place by hinting instead of outright asking.

I would just invite them to stay and add that if they ever wanted to stay with us in the future they should just come out and ask. I think they are just trying to be polite as it's not exactly PC to invite yourself over to someone else's house.

You are a board of elections worker and an absentee ballot was sent in, but the sender did not put their name on it so their vote cannot be counted. They also used an old, classic stamp worth about $200,000; again there is no way to track the sender. According to procedure, even though this vote does not count it must be sealed in a box, never to be seen again. What would you do?

[lea m]

I would remove the stamp, place it in ones pocket,and then put the envelope in the sealed box!! OOOPPS im sooo bad!! Well no-ones gonna know..... are they?!??!?!?!:innocent:



You go to withdraw some cash out of a machine when it tells you your balance is $1000 more than it should be, you've heard recently about a few mix ups with your banks computers and figure it must be a mistake do you still keep the money, or go into your bank and explain what has happened???

I would immediately go into the bank. They will take the money back anyhow so there is no point in spending money that isn't mine. The bank isn't stupid, they'll figure it out and fish it out my account anyhow!

You go to a fast food resturaunt and suspect that the worker spit in your drink, do you kick the c r a p outta them? Lol. (never happened to me but I couldn't think of a better one! lol)

[mariaandmanish]

If I truly felt that my man was cheating on me, I would go after him first, and her second! So, then, yah.. they would both get it!!


A person in your workplace recently got a promotion that your boss wanted. You find out that the only reason said person got the promotion was because s/he slept with the hiring manager. Do you tell your boss?

Do you tell your boss?Nope, none of my business, I wouldn't want to get involved ... besides, what could you do at that point anyway?

You work at a bank in charge of loan approval. You are out at a bar with your friends one day and see a man drinking and acting a fool. The next week at work you see this man at the bank asking for a loan ... what do you do?

Wouldn't that all depend on his credit history on weather or not he get's approved. Not on personal judgement.

You have a friend who has treated you ok in the past and you have been friends forever, she announces she needs a place to stay but your afraid she'll over stay here welcome. Do you let her stay with you?

It would depend on how dire her situation, definitely if she was trying to get out of an abusive relationship or if she suddenly lost her job. I may also write a little contract saying that she would be expected to find other arrangements within 6 months (or other reasonable amount of time), especially in the latter case.

You get a call from the producers of the Jerry Springer show and they tell you that your best friend has requested your presence for an upcoming taping. They won't tell you exactly what it is about. What do you do?

Tell them to forget it! There is no way your going on their show!

They then bribe you with money to be on the show. Do you do it for $10,000?

probably not, I've seen that show and wouldn't want to be a part if it. Even though the money would be nice, I'd hate to have to explain it all afterwards.

You are at a business meeting with a big client when you get a call, from your friend who is watching your dog, saying that the dog got hurt and she is taking it to the emergency vet. Do you leave the meeting early or wait until you close the deal?

I would leave. I might not tell them that "Fred" is my dog though :)

You are contacted by the Red Cross (or whatever organization might do this) and they tell you that you are a possible match for a child who needs a bone marrow transplant. Do you go in for further testing to see if you might be a perfect match?

In a second, absolutely. There was just a segment on the news the other day, about how the procedure has gotten so much easier, and not painful anymore. It's now just like giving blood, which I do once a year.



You go outside one morning and find a small dent on your front bumper. You're almost positive that the neighbor who parks in front of yours every night did it, but have no real proof. Do you confront them anyway, or let it go?

Since there is no proof I'd probably let it go this time, but I'd try to keep an eye on it.

Your friend calls and complains to you about all her problems, you offer her advice and she never takes it, and sometimes argues with you over your conflicting opinions. So you grow tired of hearing her complain, what do you do?

[WhiskeyGirl]

(Oh how did you know I deal with this often!!!) I tell her that I can no longer give her advice or else she'll have to start paying $20 bucks every time she asks for advice because I'm sick of giving it to her and she doesn't take it.

The talk around the water cooler at work is that two of your married co-workers (not to each other) are having an affair and you know both of their spouses quite well. Infact the wife of the man is your good friend. You know if you tell her about the affair it will crush her and she isn't very stable and could do something bad to herself if you tell her. What do you do?

Since it's still just talk around the water cooler, I would have to ignore it and hope "it ain't so".

You are in the "big city" to do some Christmas shopping. You pass beggers and/or buskers (street performers). Do you toss some change to any of them, all of them or walk by as if they aren't there?

I hate to say it but I would walk by as if they weren't there. I have given before only to watch the majority of them walk into the nearest liquor store.

You are driving in from work late one night after midnight and you run out of gas about 10 miles from home. It is snowing and below freezing outside as well. You have no cell phone to call with and the nearest town is your home 10 miles away. A man stops and offers you a ride home. Do you go with him or wait till your DH realizes you aren't there on time and comes looking for you.

First I would pray really hard, then it would depend on the impression I got from the man.

A friend of your was widowed a few years ago and her husband was your cousin and you were very close. She has been seeing a new guy and announces that she is getting married. You are happy for her and want her to be happy, but feel weird because you still miss your cousin. She asks you to be MOH in the wedding and you feel even weirder about that ... what do you do?

She is a friend of mine and I would really be happy for her that she is able to find happiness again, so I would proudly accept the position.

You see a man that is so drunk that he is unable to stand straight, trying to unlock his car and drive off. What do you do?

[WebLady]

You see a man that is so drunk that he is unable to stand straight, trying to unlock his car and drive off. What do you do?Probably call the police or tell someone inside if it was outside a bar or something. Maybe try to distract him, I guess it depends on the time of day and if anyone was with me.

I would be afraid to get physically involved, you never know how drunk people are gonna react.


You are out walking your dog at dusk and you see a stranger in dark clothing at one of your neighbors house. He appears to you to be trying to break in, what do you do?

[hummingbird521]

As I try never to go anywhere without my cell phone I would call 911 first then if I knew the neighbors number call them and tell them. No way would I approach the dark clothes person.

If your sister has no one (man) in her life would you possibly join them into a online dating site without their permission?

[BriansBride07]

If your sister has no one (man) in her life would you possibly join them into a online dating site without their permission?

I would have to say no. Just for the simple reason that this is sometimes a personal reason for them not wanting to date at the time. Some people are just happier w/out another person in their lives.

Your mother/father just passed away and there is 6 other sibling's in your family and you are the only one that will inherite everything. Do you split it up between your sibling or say nope my parent(s) wanted me to have it so that is the way it is going to be?

There would have to be a reason the entire inheritance went to just me. So I guess it would depend on the situation and how close I was with my siblings, and how much they had been in my life and/our our parents lives before their death.

You and your best friend from high school loose touch after graduation, you both move away and move on with your lives. Years later you find each other again, but your lives and interests are very different and you find you no longer have anything in common. Do you still try to rekindle the friendship?

It all depends on if there was a really good reason they did it that way. If the siblings were "dead beats" and refused to help with the parents' final days or even refused to come to holiday celebrations or maybe there are specific things that the assets need to be used for and the others can't be trusted, then I would respect the parent's wishes.

But if I felt that the parents were unfairly playing favorites, I would share. In the latter case, I would liquidate the assets and then give the others monetary "gifts" as to still respect the wishes in the will, but at that point the money would be mine to do as I pleased and if I want to give the others some, then it would clearly be mine to give.


You are standing in line with your 5 year old daughter at the bank. Masked robbers enter, create a lock down scenario and proceed to rob the bank. What would you do?

Oops we posted at the same time.

I would probably go to lunch or something at least once and if nothing could become of it then I would just let it go.

Do everything I can to protect my child which includes doing EXACTLY what the robbers instruct. Staying calm and not being "obvious" could save your and her life.

A fellow co-worker has been doing all sorts of things at work that they shouldn't (personal calls, internet use etc) it has begun to effect their job and yours (you are taking up her slack)...do you tell the boss and risk her finding out you complained or not?

I would probably try talking to her first, if that didn't help I'd go to the boss. That way you can say you tried but she didn't listen.

You are having lunch alone at a local cafe, you get up to go to the bathroom and see a couple fighting in the rest area near the bathrooms. When you come out, you see the fight has gotten worse and the guy is man handling the woman ... do you say anything?

Yes regardless of who was hitting whom at the time. It is uncalled for and I don't believe that either person should be hitting the other for any reason. If I got no where in trying to speak to them then I would go and get someone else and also call the police.

Your child doesn't return home from school on the bus, you call the school and they tell you that you will need to wait for the afterschool bus to get to your home b/c there are to many children staying afterschool to be accounted for. What do you do?? ( This actually happened to me about a month ago with my son I could of rung his neck)
