Create a scenario thread

[Po Pimp]

The purpose of this thread is to think of a situation that has happened or could potentially come up in your daily lives (so no fantastical BS). The next person who responds tells how they would handle the situation, and then submit one of their own.

I'll go first:

There is a 20% chance of a tornado hitting your town, a 50% chance it will just rain or be a bad storm, and a 30% chance you miss the storm all together. You don't have any food in your house, and you have not eaten since last night. Grocery store is 20 minutes away. It is not yet raining, and sky is simply overcast, but not dark. As soon as you step outside the door, you hear a tornado siren in the distance. What do you do?

Re: Create a scenario thread

I stay put, even if a Tornado hits the town....it's gone within hours and unless you are stuck under some rubble you can get out and find food. Or you could just drive out of town away from the storm.

Scenario:

It's the morning of your wedding and your best man tells you that he doesn't feel like your fiance is right for you, and that he heard through the grapevine she had cheated on you in the past. Your fiance has a tendency to blow up on you about this type of stuff and go crazy like all women can. You have to decide whether or not to confront her before the wedding or not.

Re: Create a scenario thread

You talk to the dude she was suppose to cheat on you with before you confront her. If he confirms...you call off the wedding. If he deny's but you have your suspicions...you confront her. If he deny's and you believe it...still ask others who might know better. Then choose to go ahead with it or confront her.

Best men/friends do not inform you of cheating brides lightly.

Your ex-girlfriend but still friend start dating a new dude and starts having bruises she tries to hide and is clearly in pain alot.

I'm assuming I don't want to be with her anymore, so I tell her to get the hell out of that relationship. If she tells me to mind my own business, I have to show tough love and just stop talking to her altogether. If she's willing to put another man who beats her over a good friend, then she's not worth it.

Ok, you have 2 prospective chicks. Here are their stats:

Chick A:
Pros- 7 face, 7 body, ALL the qualities you want in a woman (potential wife type)
Cons- She's always busy (legitimately busy and doesn't have a dude on the side), and things won't settle down for about 6 months, you're not sure if she wants u as a potential mate or as a friend

Chick B:
Pros- 10 face, 10 body, sexually aggressive and she wants ONLY you (i.e, she's not a flirt towards other dudes), cool personality, decent job
Cons- Personality can be overbearing at times to others, she has a habit that annoys the hell out of you

Oh yeah, both the chicks are best friends, and if you don't choose wisely, you could end up missing out on both. Which one do you pursue?

Re: Create a scenario thread

I go for girl a she is perfect long term.

situation: you are 100% sure that you can cheat on your wife and NOONE will ever find out except you and the other women who want to and will NEVER tell anyone. Do you do it?

Not if I love my wife, and even if I didn't anymore for some reason...probably not. Being cheated on sucks the guilt would kill me.

getting away from girl scenarios....

one of your cousins, who you see once or twice a year and are friendly with, is having a "destination wedding" aka traveling to Hawaii even though they nor any of their family is from there. Said cousin traveled across a couple states a few months earlier to your hometown to see you get married. Traveling to Hawaii will put a strain on your finances for a few months as they are not covering the cost (no entertainment money left in budget at all). Do you go or miss out?

I miss out. It's my family, so I'm sure they will understand if I can't afford to go.

You just got home from work and you're tired. You step out your car in the parking lot of your apartment complex. You see a couple arguing in the parking lot. Upon further inspection, you notice the female is one of your neighbors, but the only conversation you ever had was small talk in passing, so it's not like yall are friends or anything. You have never seen the dude before in your life.

You figure it's none of your business and keep walking. You're at the door when out of nowhere, you hear a loud slap followed by sobbing from the girl. What do u do?

You go back and man up.

He might kick your ***...she might not want your help...but you must do the "right" thing even if the results suck.

You're in a band and a record manager just want's you to sign and drop your life long partners in chasing that dream....what do you do?

Well in that situation if they were still around they'd be key to the bands sound so I'd stick with them and not sell out

Someone breaks into your house, You don't know if they intend to rob you or do something more, they are armed, what do you do?

Probably do my best to try to disarm and subdue them. I'd be more comfortable at least trying to stop them and possibly dying than I would be if I let them rob me then they killed me. I know its risky but I honestly wouldn't care.


It's the day before you and your wife/gf's anniversary. She has been going through a sad spell after the death of a close relative. You have been talking to your neighbor about the trouble you're having finding a gift that you know your wife/gf has always wanted. Your neighbor, who you are good friends with, calls you from his job and informs you that he has found that the item is being sold at a store a little over an hour away from your house but they are selling very quickly. You call the store and they say they only have one more of that item but will hold it for you for the next hour. After that hour it will probably be gone before you get the opportunity to pick it up.

As you walk to your car, you see something lying on the side of the road. You walk over a come to realize it's your neighbor's dog that has been hit by a car. Besides you, the dog is your neighbors only friend and you know this. You know that he would be devastated if it died like this. You cannot call him to come and take the dog to get medical treatment as he is too far away and the dog will be dead by the time he gets there. However if you leave now and take the dog there is a great chance it will survive, but vastly increases the chance you'll miss out on the item you wanted to go buy.

Do you vastly increase the risk of losing the item that you know will pull your wife/gf out of her depression by helping the dog and arriving at the store much later than that hour they gave you, or do you try to go get the item with the slight possibility it may still be sold by the time you get there since you live a little more than an hour away and leave your neighbor's dog to die causing him (your neighbor who helped you find this gift) to fall into depression himself? If you miss out on the gift and give your wife nothing her depression will more than likely become greater as she has been looking forward to this day.

Man that's pretty long...

Man that's pretty long...

As I'm heading to the vet place I call the store and tell them what happened and ask for them to hold it longer. If they say no, I try to find the item online and tell my wife/gf what happened and tell her that the present will be a couple days late.


You and your best friend both really like one girl. You find out that she likes your best friend more than you. Do you tell him that or try to get the girl yourself?

Re: Create a scenario thread

I tell him to go for her. he's my friend and she likes him.

Situation you are out for dinner and pay with a $20 and you get change for a $50 instead and the service was lousy. What do you do?

[Po Pimp]

Re: Create a scenario thread

I let them know they made a mistake. Waitresses and waiters livelihood depends on that change, and if they come up short, it might be damaging. Also, sometimes it may not be their fault the cook messed up your order.

You get into a pretty heated altercation (verbal or physical, it doesn't matter) with someone at a club. You don't know this person at all, but you don't ever wanna see them again because there is now true bad blood because they crossed the line with you.

Flash-forward a couple of months, your buddy from out of town is visiting his cousin who lives in the same city as you. He's out kicking it with his cousin, and you tell them to stop through. He gets to your crib, and his cousin is the same dude you got into it with a few months back. What do you do?

Re: Create a scenario thread

I see if his cousin Recognizes me if he does, takes the initiative and walks up to me it goes all down hill (for him any way) as i beat the living **** outta him.


You discover a bomb near the exit of a building housing a few thousand people. as the bomb ticks away and reaches the minute mark you have two options. Run like hell and save yourself or attempt to defuse the bomb but have the high probability that you will die along with the other people in the building if it goes off. what do you do?

I'm running! What the hell do I know about diffusing a bomb? The best you'll get from me is a warning to get the **** out as I sprint past you.

Here's a famous one...

Your wife is near death from a special kind of cancer. There is one drug that the doctors think might save her. It is a form of radium that a druggist in your town has recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to produce. You go to everyone you know to borrow the money, sell all your possessions, but can only get together about half of what it costs. You tell the druggist that your wife is dying and ask him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist says: "No, I discovered the drug and I'm going to make money from it." Do you break into the man's store to steal the drug? Why or why not?
