You are driving down the road in your car on a wild,
stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see
three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3 The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing
that there could only be one passenger in your car?

Think before you continue reading . . . . . .

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually
used as part of a job application. You could pick up
the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus
you should save her first. Or you could take the old
friend because he once saved your life, and this would
be the perfect chance to pay him back. However , you
may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had
no trouble coming up with his answer. He simply answered:

"I would give the car keys to my old friend and let
him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind
and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our
stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think
outside of the Box."




HOWEVER . . . .

The correct answer is to run the old lady over and put
her out of her misery, have sex with the perfect
partner on the hood of the car, then drive off with
the old friend for a few beers.

My decision was to give the keys to my old friend, let him take the girl, and I would stay and give the old lady company. ....... ........ Give me a moment so I can go find my manhood.

Pick up the perfect partner. Call a cab and an ambulance for the friend and the old lady.

The few people whom I call "friend" get everything from me that I can provide. In such a case, if I desired the girl then he would also desire her. To me, friends come before women. Anyway, it seems that the friend found her first.

Furthermore, I wish I spent more time with my grandparents before they passed away. Spending time with someone about to pass away is a great gift. We are born alone and will die alone, so it is good to do what we can to lessen the pain.

let the old lady die, pick up the girl and tell your friend to fucking walk and take one for the team (maybe even with the old lady)

That is one dumbass company or HR person that hired someone based on such a stupid question/answer.

Probably not true, anyway.

three people waiting for the bus:

Since I was going 50 mph and intentionally swerved into the puddle in front of the bus stop, how was I supposed to have recognized my friend? My interpretation would be: hot chick with dufus boyfriend and his mom, all wet now.

You fail on all your answers, the question was which one do you offer a ride to.

These stupid "thinking outside the box" questions are usually nothing more than "ignore the rules set up in the situation and do whatever you want and then try to seem really really clever."

Give the keys to your friend and let him take the old woman to the hospital. You stay at the bus stop with the woman.

And that thinking outside of the box answer is BS.

Your name is Akiba. I would think the correct answer would be, "I'd crap my pants". But that depends on whether you are the MGS Akiba or some other Akiba.

Sounds good, until you realize the old lady would much rather go to the doctors and live than to spend the last moment of her life with a complete stranger.

How the hell am I able to identify these people in a wild and stormy night? The question is fundamentally flawed.

And we all saw the punchline, it's just not a great joke.
