Worst case scenario…
I'd say D.
Because I'm the creepy guy from work, so it'd just be a mirror.

D. Cause we keep a gun by the bed.
I can't even choose. Now I'm scared to go to bed.Can't sleep. Clown will eat me.
What if it's the ghost of a doll that looks like the clown from IT who also happened to work as a janitor at your job for a few weeks before he found out he liked it better living TMNT style in the sewers?
*shakes fist at Ala while still under the bed**hits hand on underside of bed and gets a boo-boo*
*cries some more*

lol good responses all I actually giggled thank you =)
Ideally someone would suggest another scenario. It's a daily game I have with my friend. I give one then the next day it's his turn. His today was...Your car is broke down in the middle of no where and you have a full bladder...
Do you
A. Find a bush and pray there are no snakes.
B. Dance the 'I have to pee jig' until the mechanic arrives to tow your car and take you to a restroom
C. Sacrifice all dignity and let fly beside the car where you know there are no snakes.
I don't like his scenarios they never have a good answer lol For a guy this is a pretty easy answer I think...for women not so much. I chose dance a jig personally.
I have to go with A. my dog is like another child to me I know that sounds callous but I love my dog.Good one =)
Easy, have my dog rip out the stranger's throat. Then give him treats for being saving mommy from a prison term.
Jackie wrote: "Easy, have my dog rip out the stranger's throat."I'd do that too. It's more likely now that I have a Collie. When I had a Basset Hound, I'd have had to heave my 70 lbs pooch, Henry, at him. He might get licked to death after he trips over the hapless hound.

Screw dignity, I'd pee by the car. Dignity can come back...it's hard to stay alive after a snake bite.
For the car one, I'd pee by my car. If you sit on the front bumper it's super easy... LOL.

That would make it more difficult to be sure. I couldn't shoot a crying six-year old anymore than I could shoot my dog. I'm really not sure what I would do if the situation involved children. Hmmm.
My worst case question for the day....You are abducted by aliens and have a choice of rooms to be held prisoner in. Which would you choose?
A. Has a majority of politicians and religious leaders from various countries.
B. Has irate military leaders from several countries.
C. Is filled with a sampling of our diseases…leprosy, HIV ect.
D. is the room reserved for those to be experimented on first…probing and whatnot.
a.) And I would start shoving them toward the door first if the aliens came for samples. Politicians are not high on my list.
Ag_moroz wrote: Would that make a difference? Not for me. I know my dog, I love my dog more than a stranger I don't know. How do I know these strangers are worthy of being saved? How do I know that child won't grow up to be a serial killer? No, I'm choosing my dog every time and I don't care how callous that makes me seem.
For the car one: Pee by the car. In fact, I've done it.

Good one.
Either A or B.... doesn't matter, either way somebody's gonna get smacked down.
I would kill the dog,pee by the car and choose the politicians. Seriuosly you would rather kill a 6 year old instead of a dog ?
Seriously, yes, if it's MY dog versus a kid I don't know. Being a child or pregnant doesn't make a person any better or more worthy. Now, make it MY kid, and we'd have a different answer.
not to self... don't go to a bank with Jackie...
I would kill the dog (sorry, but human life is worth more unless I know the guy's a serial killer- which I don't because he's a stranger).I would choose to be with the military because hopefully they would have a plan to escape.
Hugh wrote: not to self... don't go to a bank with Jackie... No, just make sure I know you first, lol
I don't hold human life in such high regard. For the most part, people are shit and will stab you in the back given the chance, especially strangers.
By the car, shoot the pet, choose the room with the politicians and re-enact this scene playing the part of Yu Law.

So yes I pick my dog first. I'm with Jackie!!
Ala wrote: "By the car, shoot the pet, choose the room with the politicians and re-enact this scene playing the part of Yu Law."I'm with Ala, mostly because Doctor Who has taught me the military is even more likely than the politicians to get us all killed.
I don't know. It might be better to go out in a blaze of glory than death by probation.
I've rarely gone anywhere on a long trip that I'm not hauling a horse trailer, so I have another option.Somebody tries to force me to shoot my dog, or a stranger, hey ... I'm going to do my best to shoot them and if they shoot me instead, hopefully the dog will tear their throat out.
As to the room ... politicians, but can I take the gun with me?
They're politicians, you won't need a gun.
Tell them they need to elect a leader from amongst themselves then sit back and watch as they tear each other apart.

Don't spoil my fun ... I would LOVE to shoot politicians! Just once in my life! Please!
Wellllll.....ok.
But only the really crazy ones.
But only the really crazy ones.
Praise the Lord and pass the amunition!Now all we gotta do is lure some of them aliens here so we can get this show on the road!
I asked 5 people (my husband, my son, his GF and 2 neighbors) about the stranger or the dog and all 5 said they'd shoot the stranger (child or preggers doesn't matter). One doesn't even have a dog, lol. You don't want to come to our neighborhood.
I'd shoot myself. If I made a choice between the other two options, no matter what I did I wouldn't be able to live with myself afterward.
Dawn wrote: "I'd shoot myself. If I made a choice between the other two options, no matter what I did I wouldn't be able to live with myself afterward."I'm kind of with you on this one. I couldn't shoot my dog, she is my constant companion lol. She goes to work with me, she goes to visit friends. Honestly if she isn't sitting on my lap I feel like part of my leg is missing. I couldn't shoot a kid either though.
The alien thing though...I'd have to say B. personally chances are I'd get along with them better.
As to Sharon, the horsetrailer is the best option for that. I know from trailrides lol. I should have specified to my friend that if I'm broke down I want to be hauling my horses somewhere so I have the trailer. *grin
'Secret' being the operative word. lol

I was actually thinking more "Annie get your Gun" but yea, sure, that works.
I was really feeling bad regarding the shooting the dog or the 6 yr old, then I watched "Tots to Tiaras" with my granddaughter. I think I went back to the first train of thought. The monsters that some parents create. Grrr! Then we wonder what happened to society. I must really be old school because I think manners are one of the top things that make a person.
See, that's part of why the dog would never be the one I would shoot. My dogs have always had better manners than 9 out of 10 people I've met ... and 99 out of 100 kids!
B. I'd set the date of my death at 10,000 years into the future.
This assumes I won't become some sort of walking skeleton or disembodied spirit cursed to haunt the realm of the truly living or something.

Maybe you'll be a vampire.
c) I'll pick one of the current dictators and set his DOD to tomorrow.
I have to say, it's not really worst-case scenario. None of these choices are TERRIBLE.
Ala wrote: B. I'd set the date of my death at 10,000 years into the future. You genius, this didn't occur to me. You could be our own Captain Jack.
Masha wrote: c) I'll pick one of the current dictators and set his DOD to tomorrow.
And another would fill the void the day after.
I choose D. I don't want to know when I'll die, I don't want to choose someone else's death and after reading Ala's choice, I would choose this one except there was no guarantee of not becoming a walking skeleton, disembodied spirit or a giant head in a jar like The Face of Boe.
These types of questions make me think of the cynical jenie on the X-files (the one that killed everyone off when Mulder asked for world peace). I think she originally asked for long life and was made a genie.
Masha wrote: make me think of the cynical jenie on the X-files (the one that killed everyone off when Mulder asked for world peace) Does that make me the cynical genie or a realist? LOL
I never saw that X Files episode but it sure sounds interesting. I wrote that about filling the void because we see it happen over and over, not only with dictators but drug lords, organized crime, etc. Is it cynical to be telling the truth?
Jackie wrote: "Masha wrote: make me think of the cynical jenie on the X-files (the one that killed everyone off when Mulder asked for world peace) Does that make me the cynical genie or a realist? LOL
I ne..."
It's a fine line between being cynical and being a realist. I think the difference is whether or not you give up. In any case, I'd make the dictator die because he deserves to die, not because it will miraculously fix things.
Heard this one recently: A pessimist sees a glass as half empty. An optimist sees it as half full. A realist refills it.
So a friend of mine started this game last week via phone and I found it amusing so I’m sharing.
The gist you think up a scenario and give options, the person has to pick one of the offered options.
I’ll start for example…..
Something wakes you in the night; you sit up turn on the light and see _____ right beside your bed!
If you had to choose one what would it be?
A. An animated doll with a psychotic look about it
B. the ghost of an old enemy
C. The clown from ‘IT’
D. The creepy guy from work….I don’t need to elaborate here everyone has someone creepy at work.
