what would you do?
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 was room for only one passenger in your car?
Think seriously about this 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 about 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 repay him. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

Give your car keys to your old friend so he can take the old lady to the hospital and then return to pick you up.
Then you stay with your perfect mate.

Let the perfect mate take the old lady in the car, and my friend and I would find a way to survive.

I'd go with the old friend that saved my life. Can you imagine how p.o.'d he or she would be if you drove up and let someone else in the car? Plus I'm a pretty loyal person, so I would feel horrible if I didn't go with him.

I would pick up the old lady,then go to a motel. Maybe I could bring her back to life.

partner because with my luck i'll NEVER find them again and i'll have that damn regret for the rest of my life, if that friend saved my life chances are they know me and love me enough that they'll understand and the old lady will prob be one of those pained lookin old women who you try and help and they curse at you....
so am i a horrible person now?

I want to say the old lady... I REALLY WOULD like to say the old lady, but honestly, I'd say my friend because I'd want to repay him/her for saving me.

i would have to pick #3 because there is always another chance to help other people but u only have one chance at happiness.
