Welcome back to another moral dilemmas poll, where we pick your brain a little by placing you in situations that demand certain calls to action. Do you truly know how you’d react if a friend did this or that, or a coworker said this and that about you?

This poll throws you into 23 compromising scenarios where morals clash with reality. There’s no score, no judgment, and certainly no hypocrisy here. Just the cold, hard truth about how you really think and act when no one’s watching.

Which begs the question: What do you do when there’s no clear right answer?

#1

You’re added to a group chat where explicit photos of your ex are being shared without their consent. No one else seems to have an issue with it.

Three people gathered around a table debating a moral dilemma poll on a smartphone, with coffee and a laptop nearby.

Why would other people have explicit photos of your ex? Does this mean the ex cheated, or is dating someone else in the group? Little confused over the wording.

It should read "Someone in your group chat hacks your phone..." or " In a fit of rage, I sent pictures of my ex to someone in my group chat...".

    You find a wallet on the sidewalk with $200 in cash and a photo ID inside. It’s late, no one’s around, and returning it would take time and effort.

    Hopefully the ID has the correct address to which I can return the wallet and it's contents to the correct owner. If that doesn't work, try call the banks to (most ppl now a days have a bank card) inform the owner of the location of wallet. .

    I'd keep the cash and put the wallet in a postal box for the ID to get back to its owner. It's the policy here: postal workers will deliver the wallet to the police who can track the owner (because IDs are valid for years and don't necessarily show the owner's current address) I wouldn't feel bad about keeping the cash because I'm *very* poor - I sometimes can't even afford food. I'd consider that the person who loses so much cash doesn't need it as much as me because my wallet is chained to me at all times and I make sure to *never* lose even a five-cent coin, it can make a huge difference in whether I get to eat or not.

    I found a wallet in a parking lot. No cash (and I prayed there hadn't been any cash in it when it was lot!), there was an ID. I searched the name on FB, and the match was a member of the local area group I'm in. So I pinged her via the group, and sent her a message on FB messenger. She was able to tell me what parking lot she'd lost the wallet in, and I got it back to her that same day. She was very grateful, asked if there was anything she could do for me. My mom had passed about a month and a half earlier, and I had been missing her terribly, so I said the only thing I really want right now is a hug. We hugged, it felt like a gift from my mama, and she went on her way.

    I lost a good friend because of this. She cheated with 3 different guys and was having an ongoing affair with one of them when she told me. I told her to break up with her bf or tell him the truth. She refused and kept insisting she loved him and didn't want to hurt him and didn't see why what she was doing was wrong as long as he didn't find out. I eventually told her that either she broke up with him or I'd tell him and she freaked out. She accused me of being jealous of her and trying to ruin her relationship, I just walked away and went NC, I tried to tell her bf but could never get a hold of him. (We were friends but i didnt have his phone no.) About 6 months later I found out he caught her cheating and left her

    One second of such micro-sleep is enough for the driver to lose control and crash the car into something. I've witnessed such accidents. Not taking the risk. Also, talk to the driver and maybe get him a coffee. The caffeine temporarily blocks the sleep substance in the brain, so he'd have time to get home safely.

I would feel tremendous regret if they went along their way after I got out and learned they caused a bad accident or killed someone when I could have done more to prevent that from happening.

    It depends on what their product is. If it's something harmful like diet pills, I'd obviously say no. But if it's something like their paintings or their songs that I don't personally like, I'd support them because I value friendship more than reputation and me not liking their art doesn't mean that all of my audience would dislike it as well. It's not causing any harm to anyone to share it.

    A person is liable for the damage their pet causes in ANY circumstances, in ANY location. Unless we're saying the OP laid on the ground to wrestle with the dog, and we're presuming the dog jumped up on the person, then the owner is liable for the damage it caused. The dog should be better-trained to NOT jump on people, and the owner is aware of its negative behavior.

I don't need him knocking down some elderly person, pregnant person or little kid. No jump harnesses have Zero effect.

    I used to hang out with one girl who decided to steal something at a big box store, with me and her baby along, putting us both at risk of getting in trouble. She didn't do it out of desperation or need. Only because she wanted to save herself the money and not have to pay. It gives you a whole other perspective of shoplifters. I work in a thrift store, and see a lot of thieves who go in like they own the place. But then there are homeless people who come in, go to the staff asking for free clothing during winter. There are people who are willing to help. Maybe a customer would be obliged to pay for the formula if asked. Maybe the shopkeeper could put it on a tab. Maybe the shopkeeper knows about an outreach or family community program. I want to make it clear, though, that I don't blame parents for struggling to feed their babies formula. It's insanely expensive. I blame the companies for making it so unaffordable. I just don't believe stealing is the right solution.

    It can be expensive. About 23 years ago I was paying $20 cdn for a can of Good Start, which was the only brand of formula that didn't give my daughter colic. Today, it is $53.97 cdn at Walmart. I'm not blaming parents for not being able to afford formula, though. I think it's criminal how costly it is, and it's the fault of greedy companies who are out of touch with the finances of parents.

    This happened in the 1979 terrorist attack on Nahariya, Israel.

Racism is wrong. There is no difference of opinion. There is a moral way of thinking and an immoral one. Because of you think "I voted for Joe Biden"= "You're a *****r" than you're the racist.

    The first time I met my ex-boyfriend's parents, his father told me I was taking a job away from men and that there was more important work for women to do (I'm a doctor, he meant I should stay home and have babies). I called him out, my boyfriend screamed at me in the car on the way home for embarrassing him. We didn't last long after that. His dad was a misogynist racist, sèxist, bigot moron and the son turned out to be not much better.

    There are ways to call it out, often simply questioning it. Like.. 'why is that funny? I'm not sure i 'get it'" and then wwatch them stumble to find a non-racist way of explaining. it can make it ackward but iits not rude and can move on from ackwardness quickly.. there are diffrent ways, thats just an example of one way i think works fairly well without being too disrespectful.

    There’s no real option to simply get up and leave, and speaking out in that moment (in their house, which is essentially an echo chamber) wouldn’t change their behaviour, only reinforce it. Worse still, it could put you at risk; racism rarely arrives alone, and it often drags along other unpleasant traits. As much as I wish I could say I would challenge it, the truth is I would probably walk away, Racism tends to stay no matter what is said.

    Unless you had a good look at the car before, you won't always know if you really caused that dent or if it was there before. This is why a tow truck driver, or anyone working on cars, may take pictures of your car and close ups of the flaws before and after they touch your car. That way the car owner can't blame old damage on someone else.

    Even setting aside the fact that crediting the other person is the ethically and morally right thing to do, I think most managers have a true appreciation for people who publicly credit others where credit is due. They know that you are a 'team player' and aren't just in it for yourself -- and a good manager wants a team that works well together and trusts each other.

    I would be more surprised if I was offered a job with a company that actually had ethics at all. Name one, I'll wait. Meanwhile, I need money to live, so I'll do what I must until a better option comes along.

    really depends whether the ethics i don't like are worse than the ethical problem of being unemployed and relying on other people's taxes to live.

    You come across a significant sum of money that was left by a deceased relative. They’ve been estranged from you for years, and no one else has claimed it.

    How does it happen? Do you just find it in their house? How much is it? How many family members do I have? How close were they to the late family member?

    Is the family unaware? Should they be made aware? Not enough information.

    Yes. Obviously the correct alternative is to tell all the other relatives that have a right to the inheritance and hope you get a reward.

    That would be really awkward, considering how toxic and a*****e my family is/was. I'd take the money, it would compensate for the years of therapy and for the skin reactions I still have when someone is screaming at me.

    Not enough information in the question. But I would very likely tell the others. I already don’t have that money, so my life won’t get any worse.

    You do the same as if the owner was alive. In either case, it's not your money. Now it belongs to the diseased estate.

    NDAs are designed to keep proprietary and other information from competeing firms. Disclosing information to an individual would really depend on whether that individual's possessing that information would harm the former employer. (If they were taking over your old position, the company might be advantaged by you unofficially filling in the new employee.)

    I bet the same 40% that say they would tell the friend are the same people who scream about insider trading, nepotism, and people hired based on "who you know."

    “Compromising” suggests cheating on a spouse or something. That I would probably ignore. On the other hand if I saw a celebrity a*****t someone or worse, i’m going to the cops, not the tabloids.

    They are already harassed by paparazzi so unless it's a*****e behavior, I'd leave them alone.

    I think a mega celebrity has the means to screw me over in court, even if their career is ruined they probably still could take me down too. As long as it's not a*****t, harrasment or worse I'd mind my business

    Very likely the child will be showing symptoms soon too since they've obviously already been exposed. Knowing my luck, I probably would've been part of the 90% that's dead >_<

    the kid can come and I'll help it but if it's a good parent they should know the best thing they can do for their kid is to stay away if they're sick. give parent help from a distance until they get better or die. if so much of the world is dead what is there to live for besides helping others

    I'll give them a parcel of food and supplies, and if possible, quarantine them.

    I'd compromise by telling them I'll leave provisions by the door if they move back a certain distance that I thought was safe. I don't think I could live with myself if I didn't help as best as I could.

    It's just not that black and white. You could also tell them to find shelter, then leave them supplies at a halfway point. That's helping out but not risking everyone's health.

    Where’s the option for “Give them some food and supplies, but don’t let them share living quarters”? I *really* don’t want to get sick. And I don’t know if it’s something serious or just a cold; if it’s contagious, etc.

    Admitting them has a far greater chance of killing you than of saving them. Give them some supplies maybe and send them on their way.
