“What Would You Do In These Situations?”: The Ultimate Moral Dilemma Poll
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?

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.

#2
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.

Keep it until the next work day to either drop it off at the right adress or the police or try to reach the owner, if that is possible.
#3
A friend confesses they’ve been cheating on their partner and are torn about what to do. You’re also friends with their partner.
#4
You discover your favorite clothing brand uses child labor in its factories, but you see the most amazing jacket on sale that you’ve been searching for for ages.
#5
You’re invited to a close friend’s wedding, but you can’t afford a gift - not even something small.
Nitka Tsar 3 months ago
Talk to them openly. They are my friends. They already know I‘m not rich. 🙄
#6
During a late-night Uber ride, you notice the driver’s eyelids drooping and their head bobbing against the wheel - they’re clearly fighting sleep.
Dread Pirate Roberts 3 months ago
Dumb question lol This isn't a moral dilemma; it's common sense.
#7
Your best friend is launching a small business and asks you to promote it online. You really don’t like their product and fear that reviewing something positively when you feel anything but will ruin your credibility and reputation with your audience
#8
You meet up with your friend for an afternoon walk. Their hyperactive dog, excited to meet you, ruins your designer jacket. Your friend jokes, “Haha, he does that to everyone he meets! So funny.” They move on, petting and cooing at their dog
#9
You’re visiting someone’s house and their kid breaks something valuable - but the parents assume you did it.
#10
You see someone shoplifting baby formula at your friend’s family-owned convenience store, which is going through a hard time financially. The person stealing looks desperate, not malicious.
#11
You’re in a war-torn country, hiding and protecting a group of civilians. One of the civilians' babies starts crying - loudly. The enemy is closing in quickly. If they hear the baby, everyone could die

I was young when I saw that episode, and it made me cry. He remembered it as a chicken as he had blocked that memory out

"whatever means possible" just put your hand over its mouth or something no need to do anything drastic

This happened in the 1979 terrorist attack on Nahariya, Israel. According to Wikipedia: The mother, Smadar Haran, was able to hide in a crawl space above the bedroom with her two-year-old daughter Yael, and a neighbor – Sasson's wife.Smadar Haran accidentally suffocated Yael to death while attempting to quiet her whimpering, which would have revealed their hiding place.

Try to quiet the baby or use it as a decoy away from the rest of the group

Um .. not all women can produce on demad, some even 'dry up' early for many various health reasons.. babies also don't always 'latch on' on demand, there are many reasons to cry besides food, such as stress. The child doesnt know whats going on, just that something isn't right from how everyone else is behaving and they could just be scared. The idea that a women just has to pop out a b○○b, and all's well ... well, i think maybe you need to learn more about how babies and bodies work.

You accidentally knock over and break a vase in a store. No one sees it happen.
Brian Leahy 3 months ago
Is the vase merchandise or just decoration? If it’s merchandise, I’d check the price tag before deciding. If it’s just decorative, it’s probably really cheap.
#13
You’re having dinner with your partner’s family for the first time. Everything is going well until their parents casually make a racist comment, and everyone else at the table either laughs or says nothing.
Mel in Georgia 3 months ago
Ugh, not a racist comment, but a political one. I called it out and my husband's aunt called me stupid. Very awkward, but no regrets.
#14
You’re reversing in a parking lot and accidentally bump into a parked car, leaving a small dent. No one sees you, and there are no cameras near by
#15
You work at your best friend’s father’s law firm and regard him in a fatherly manner as well. One day, he hits on you out of the blue.
#16
Your boss publicly praises you for a project, but deep down, you know a colleague did most of the work on it. Saying something would risk not getting that bonus you need for a down payment on your new apartment…
#17
A friend submits a copied assignment and brags to you about how they got away with it. It would affect the class rankings and hurt your final score.
#18
Your phone rings in a dark theater during a quiet, emotional scene. You thought it was on silent, so you hadn’t bothered to double-check. Everyone turns to look, and some are even cussing you out for the disturbance
Brian Leahy 3 months ago
How about silencing the phone as quickly as possible and ignore the angry glances?
#19
You’re offered a dream job with an amazing salary and health benefits, but it’s at a company whose ethics you don’t agree with.
#20
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.
Nitka Tsar 3 months ago
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?
#21
You overhear something at work that could help a friend land a big opportunity - but you’re under NDA.
#22
You see a mega celebrity after a night out, and they’re in a compromising, possibly career-damaging situation.
Brian Leahy 3 months ago
“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.

A pandemic has wiped out 90% of the population. You’ve managed to find shelter and supplies, but a coughing stranger shows up at your door with their child - begging you to let them in.
Dread Pirate Roberts 3 months ago
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 >_<

Ok todays moral dilemma, Donald Trump is drowning in a pool. A. Do you let him drown? B. Do you take your foot off his head? It's a joke, don't be grumpy.
Mimi M 3 months ago (edited)
I replied with the majority on all but one question. Two were unanswerable (plague and crying baby) and one had two options but I chose a third (turn down friend's dad, but leave it at that). But on all others I was with the majority. Lots of good people out there! Note that on the one question where I differed (the shoplifter), another commenter had a much better alternative, which was to pay for the formula. Wish I'd thought of that, good for them.

This reminds me of the time I had an asthma attack in the pharmacy. I was there to collect my asthma medication. The staff were wonderful and sorted me out really quickly. On the taxi ride home I realised I hadn't paid the prescription charge. The taxi driver said not to worry about it - their fault. I looked at him and said how thankful I was for the NHS. Not to pay my fair share felt so wrong. He repeated it was their fault not mine, and I looked at him in disbelief, "What do you think I am? A Tory?!" His reply was 'Good point, do you want me to turn around?" I said I'd phone them when I got home and explain the situation. My husband stopped by first thing the following morning and paid. The NHS is brilliant, and I'm not going to steal from it.

For most of these questions I would do neither--morality is almost never a binary choice. I did answer some questions because I wanted to see the poll results--so weird that most people would return a wallet intact but for other questions morality is surprisingly low.
