Since I am at work for day number two this week, and the computers aren't working, AT ALL...I literally can't get any work done since all our work load in on the computer....within or network anyways.  I can get on the Internet but seriously even that is getting boring.

 

I was remembering a time when I found alot of money in a bathroom at a restaurant.  It got me thinking as to what would others do if they were in my situation. 

 

So I have some questions for you.  BE HONEST, there will be no judgements, I promise. 

 

Here goes.  WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

If you bought a purse at a garage sale, got home and found there was a significant amount of money in it.  Like, say over $100.00?

 

If you were driving down the road and saw someone beating their dog?

 

If you were standing in a check out line and noticed the guy or gal in front of you unkonwingly dropped money?

 

If you were standing next to soemone who was visibly upset, maybe crying?

 

If you saw a mother or a father in a public place screaming in their child's face?

 

ADD MORE IF YOU'D LIKE.  I actaully have some manuvering to do right now with some computer stuff.  Should be interesting!

If you bought a purse at a garage sale, got home and found there was a significant amount of money in it.  Like, say over $100.00? It would depend on whether the garage sale was in my neighborhood or somewhere else. I'd probaby return in my neighborhood but keep if it was elswhere as I would be too lazy to go back. 

If you were driving down the road and saw someone beating their dog? Sorry to say but probably nothing.

 If you were standing in a check out line and noticed the guy or gal in front of you unkonwingly dropped money? Definitely tell them

 If you were standing next to soemone who was visibly upset, maybe crying? Ask if they are OK and if I can help but if they said they were fine, I would leave. It's actually happened to me before.

 If you saw a mother or a father in a public place screaming in their child's face? Hmm, tough one and until I was in the situation, I'm not sure I would know what I would do. I might stick around close for a while to see how it would play out.

If I bought the purse at a garage sale, I would probably keep the money.  That is why it is very important to check everything before you sell it or give it away.

If I saw someone beating their dog, first I would call the cops, then I would pull over and try and get the dog away from its owner.  I would be saying so many choice phrases, I will not type, to this person while trying to get them to stop. 

If someone in front of me unknowingly dropped so many (which did happen to me) I would definitely give it back.

If were standing next to someone who was visibly upset or crying I would probably ask them if they were okay and if they needed me to contact anyone for them. If they said no, I would probably leave them alone.

If I saw a mother or father screaming in their child's face I would probably keep an eye on the situation before jumping right in.  If it got out of control or continued on for too long I would probably step in and say something.  I know it's not nice to scream in anyone face, especially your kids, but I would need to assess the situtation before immediately taking action.  If there was hitting involved that would probably be a different story.

What if you overheard a conversation about a good friend that you know was not true, would you tell the friend or interrupt the conversation?

iluv2 i hear you.  There are 15 people in our office this week.  Everyone is out at All Star and we are sitting in the dark due to some energy curtailment.  LOL Can't shop anymore online soo MLM it is. :)  (not that MLM is my last alternative shhhhh it's my home page)  LOL LOL

 

Here goes.  WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

If you bought a purse at a garage sale, got home and found there was a significant amount of money in it.  Like, say over $100.00? hmmmm i probably would take it back sometimes you just don't know if a garage sale is because they are losing their home or so..especially with this economy. 

If you were driving down the road and saw someone beating their dog? OH HELL NO!  i would call the cops and sit in my car until they got there.  If someone is beating their dog they are not to stable in the "brain" so you don't know the situation you are approaching.  Better left to the authorities.   (once the authorities leave i would beat that person just like they beat their dog and throw them in the bushes )

 If you were standing in a check out line and noticed the guy or gal in front of you unkonwingly dropped money? Oh i have told many people about dropping money.  Unfortunately nobody has ever told me. 

 If you were standing next to soemone who was visibly upset, maybe crying? Although i am a hard A$$ i am compassionate and can't stand to see someone in that situation.  I would ask them if they are ok, hoping they don't pour their heart out to me LOL

 If you saw a mother or a father in a public place screaming in their child'face? hmmm that's a tough one, some people just don't want people in their business especially when it comes to either disciplining their children or just butting in.  That's a tough one.  Now if they are hitting or even beating them absolutely yes!

 

ADD MORE IF YOU'D LIKE.  I actaully have some manuvering to do right now with some computer stuff.  Should be interesting!



 So there's this boy, who stole my heart, he calls me MOM.

If you bought a purse at a garage sale, got home and found there was a significant amount of money in it.  Like, say over $100.00?  I would bring it right back, and keep the purse since i bought it...I had a lady buy what I thought was an iron in the original box at my garage sale once and it turned out to be 100 photos of my DS and vacation...the person returned them, I was thrilled!

 If you were driving down the road and saw someone beating their dog? I would stop and yell out and call 911.

 

If you were standing in a check out line and noticed the guy or gal in front of you unkonwingly dropped money? Sir, Mamn, you dropped something.

 

If you were standing next to soemone who was visibly upset, maybe crying? Leave them alone probably, unless physcially hurt.

 

If you saw a mother or a father in a public place screaming in their child's face? screeming only, probably nothing, hurting physcially, I would intervene.

If you bought a purse at a garage sale, got home and found there was a significant amount of money in it.  Like, say over $100.00?  I know myself too well.  I'd want to keep it but would wind up bringing it back.  Damn it....

 

If you were driving down the road and saw someone beating their dog?  Sadly I have seen this.  Actually what I saw was a kid hanging his dog by the leash in a rest stop parking lot in Jersrey.  We kept driving and I feel so bad for that dog, even to this day, that I vowed if I ever see anything like that again I would do something.  I will never forget the image.   

If you were standing in a check out line and noticed the guy or gal in front of you unknowingly dropped money?  I'd tell.

 

If you were standing next to soemone who was visibly upset, maybe crying?  IDK, depends on if I am in a caring mood that day.  That's horrible to say but sometimes I just don't want to be bothered.  And other times I' doffer all the help in the world.  But also, even if these types of situations you have no idea what you could be getting yourself into....

 

If you saw a mother or a father in a public place screaming in their child's face?  I'd probably make a comment as walking by loud enough for the adult to hear me.  If it escalated into more than just yelling I would definitley call for help.

 

What if you overheard a conversation about a good friend that you know was not true, would you tell the friend or interrupt the conversation? Depends on if I know the people talking or not.  If I know them I'd probably interupt AND tell the friend.  If I didn't neccessarily know them I'd stick around to hear as much as I could and tell the friend as soon as I could.
