Sorry, but no one hurts family without getting a decent payback first
#3
You witness a stranger collapse on the street. Helping them will make you miss a once-in-a-lifetime job interview.
TotallyNOTAFox 2 months ago (edited)
Helping another person in an emergency situation has priority over a job. Jobs come and go, death is eternal
#4
You’re a surgeon with one available transplant organ. You must choose between a 70-year-old scientist who may discover a cure for a major disease or a 19-year-old student with a long life ahead.
#5
A distant relative leaves you an inheritance that actually belongs to another family member who was cut out of the will unfairly.
PirellisMiracleElixer 2 months ago
Really surprised this is so close. The relative chose you for a reason. Take the money but don’t tell anyone you received it.
#6
Your sibling needs an organ transplant and you’re a match. The surgery is risky and could permanently damage your health.
#7
You witness a teenager vandalizing a memorial site. They look shaken and regretful.
#8
Your friend is convinced their partner is cheating and asks you to spy on them.
#9
Your teenage child wants to drop out of school to pursue something extremely risky. They are determined.
#10
Your sibling wants to disconnect your unconscious parent from life support. You believe your parent might recover.
Data1001 2 months ago
You can't ask a yes-or-no question like that and expect to get an answer that will be true under every circumstance. Is the parent elderly? What was their quality of life before they were hooked up to life support? Would they be in pain afterward even if they recover? Would they have brain damage? What are the *parent's* wishes?
#11
Your friend wants to adopt a child, but you know they’re not emotionally ready for parenthood. The agency asks for your honest opinion.
#12
Your friend wants to borrow a large amount of money you know they won’t repay. Refusing may ruin the friendship.
Emilu 2 months ago
If the friendship is dependent on money, that isn't a real friendship. It's called 'being a mooch and seeing how long you can get away with it'.

I just was in that same situation although she (the friend) might repay it, we’ll simply have to see. It’s someone I haven’t known that long. I can tell you one thing...I don’t see this friendship being one of the best ever. But then again I may be wrong. I do hope I am.

This one actually happened to me. Friend was desperate and actually cried when I said yes. I did so under no expectation of getting it back, knowing how terrible he is with money. A few months later, he paid me back in full.

Dint got money to lend , n defo ain’t if im not gonna see it again , ONLY LEND MONEY YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE !
Emilu 2 months ago
This. Consider it as you giving them a gift and that you're not going to get it back; it saves the potential disappointment if you don't.

IMO - it is "gifting" money vs "lending" money when the relationships are close. If it is a regular thing then it becomes a loan. Family and close friends are too important to let money come in between. If I got it then they got it too. However, taking advantage will result in a "That's a No from me dawg".
Zig Zag Wanderer 2 months ago
It really, really depends how much, and how good a friend. I'm willing to go a LONG way for good friends.

the 8% that want to lend it out, A Nigerian price asked me to ask you a question.................
MalayDragon 2 months ago
I had this happen to me very recently, my friend called me one night and asked me for $400 because he was in little trouble with a bill or couple of bills. I refused on the spot. It has not damaged our friendship at all because i didn't make any excuses or lie to him. He asked, I said no because i can't afford to give the money.

Lending money to a friend is a good way to lose both money and friend.
#13
You’re driving and accidentally scratch a parked car. No cameras, no witnesses, minor damage.
Michael Largey 2 months ago
But the note should NOT say "The people watching me think I'm leaving you my name and phone number. But I'm not."
#14
You’re on a jury. Everyone believes the accused is guilty, but you secretly have doubts that no one else shares. A guilty verdict means life in prison.
#15
You learn your child has been bullying another kid so severely that the school is considering expulsion. Your child begs you to lie for them.
Flickers_and_Sparks 2 months ago
Bullying is wrong, in any form. Covering up for the chid will only make them a bigger narcissistic bully in the future, and in time they could turn on you too
#16
You’re hiking with a group and someone slips off a cliff edge. You can save them, but doing so may drag you down too.
#17
A team member at work is clearly having a mental breakdown but insists they’re “fine.” You’re the only one who noticed.
#18
A teacher accidentally gives you access to the test answers before a huge exam. No one else sees it.
Ray Ceeya (RayCeeYa) 2 months ago
Delete it and inform the teacher. They will appreciate your honesty.
#19
Your partner wants children, and you absolutely don’t. They assume you’ll change your mind.
#20
A coworker is about to be blamed for a mistake you made. Speaking up puts your job at risk.
#21
You discover your parents have been lying about a huge family secret for decades. Confronting them would tear the family apart.
#22
A stranger sends you a large sum of money by mistake. The bank won’t notice. Legally, you don’t have to return it.
Virgil Blue 2 months ago
If its a big corporation or similar? Keep it. If its obviously a real person, report it. Banks are insured for this BTW.
#23
Your company offers you a promotion, but you must fire two people you know are hardworking and innocent.
Zig Zag Wanderer 2 months ago (edited)
My son had a similar dilemma, but regarding salary amounts. He discovered that a woman he was training to do his job would be getting significantly less than he was, even though just as qualified. He challenged his bosses. They said it was none of his business. He thought it was, and they BOTH resigned in protest.
#24
You uncover evidence that your town’s only factory is poisoning the water supply. Exposing it saves lives but leaves hundreds jobless.
#25
At a wedding, you overhear the groom admitting he’s unsure about marrying the bride. She’s your close friend.
#26
You witness someone secretly filming women at a beach without consent.
#27
Your partner asks you to lie and say you’re sick to skip a family event they don’t want to attend. The family will think it’s serious.
#28
A student in your class plagiarized an essay and is about to win a major scholarship for it.
#29
Your partner’s sibling admits to cheating on their spouse and begs you to keep it a secret. You’re close to the spouse.
#30

I know these sort of questions have to be black and white, the reality is though, in life, in circumstances like the above, there will be grey areas.
Emilu 2 months ago
Right? I like the quizzes (my inner teenage girl always loved/loves quizzes 🤣) but I can count on one hand the questions I could answer without saying "well, this needs more information, but given this is all I have, I guess I'll pick this..."

Which sibling and what impact on my health? Will helping compromise my ability to support my own spouse and children? What kind of family secret? Why does the friend need the money? What is the prognosis for my parent, what does the doctor say, is this a real thing or false hope? Why do I believe they aren't guilty, is it a gut feeling or something supported by evidence? The most difficult decisions in life aren't black and white, they are grey and they require context.
