The Scenario Game

[ajmrowland]

Unless I was at the Olive Garden (where there's a lot I don't like due to onions and garlic), I'd just pick something else- I'm not picky!

You go on vacation without making lodging arrangements, and you can't find any hotels or motels with vacancies in the whole area.

I'd grab my laptop and check Hotwire, or one of those other sites that find vacancies for you.

You find yourself in the Army(any of the five factions) based on a mistake the government made in the recruiting process.

[Jack Skellington]

I'd show them my passport !

You hear that a tsunami is coming to your hometown and the government blocked neighboring cities and the airport is closed.

[blackcauldron85]

I would cry and panic, and if I could think clearly, I would call my friend whose dad works for the state's disaster or storm something-or-other, and she could ask him what to do.

You go shopping, buying a lot of things, and when it's time to check out, you realize you left your method of payment at home, 30 minutes away.

[Escapay]

I'll put everything back (and things that there are only one left of, I'll hide), go home, get my method of payment, and return.

You print out a 20-page term paper ten minutes before class and don't have time to staple it or put it in your bag. On the way to class the wind blows it in all directions.

[blackcauldron85]

I would ask (or beg) my teacher if I could either email it to them or bring it to their office later that day.

You are in a 3-legged race and your partner's foot slips out of the necktie that is around one of his or her feet and one of yours.

[Jack Skellington]

*About the Tsunami scenario... I was hoping someone would mention going out to buy a scuba diving kit, a pair of iron boots, and hide in a subway station.*

If the tie slips then I'd complete the race and pretend that nothing ever happened.

Your neighbor gets divorced and wants to fall off the building that you live in.

[blackcauldron85]

I would try to say something like, "It's not worth it, you have the rest of your life to live", and maybe try to call the police (as long as my neighbor doesn't threaten to jump if I call the police).

You plant $500 worth of orange trees, and half of them won't produce oranges.

[Escapay]

I'll continue with the $250 worth of oranges and not worry about the trees with nothing.

You are walking down the street when in the corner of your eye you see two men beating up an old lady in an alley.

[blackcauldron85]

I would yell at them to stop, and maybe the men would be distracted for a second and the lady could run away. And hopefully I could run away and dial 911 at the same time? I took a self-defense class, but they only taught us how to protect ourselves against 1 attacker.

Your dog ate all the cheese in the house. (Don't worry- none of my dogs ate my cheese- it's just hypothetical!)

[Mickeyfan1990]

Go out and buy more cheese and put the dog outside as punishment.

Now, you're in a store and you have 10 dollars. You see a box set containig 50 movies and a 2-Disc Set of a classic movie (with 5.1, original soundtrack, widescreen, and extras). You can only pick one.

[Jack Skellington]

Quality matters.. not quantity,
if the 50 DVDs have got one or two movies that I like, then I'll get that if not then I'll get the classic movie. (Assuming that I liked it)

You find someone's $100 while walking out in the street.

[ajmrowland]

If I can't return it to someone, I might just keep it. Actually, I'd probably leave it there. I don't know. It's never happened to me before.

Two completely different friends of yours offer you a "chance of a lifetime" to do something extremely cool, only at the same time.

It sounds predictable, but I feel like I don't have any more options. I suck at this.

[Chernabog_Rocks]

I dunno, it would depend what the two chances are

You get hired to be a lead character on the new season of a t.v show, do you choose to be the lead villian or the lead hero?

[blackcauldron85]

Lead hero...I can be bitchy sometimes, but not nearly enough to play a villain, I don't think.

You have the opportunity to win a Free Lifetime Supply of the Candy of Your Choice contest, but to win, you must do 450 pushups, climb a rock wall, walk 10 miles on a treadmill, and swim 2 miles in a lake- all in one afternoon.

[Mooky]

Um... yeah. I think I'll pass...

You're offered your dream job, but you'd have to move to a country where living standards are way below yours.

[ajmrowland]

My dream-job is stationed in the US, so I wouldn't.

You're in a foreign land and are captured by natives who want to kill you.

[Escapay]

I'll make a banana daiquiri and we'll end up partying rather than killing me.

You are making dinner for ten when you accidentally spill an entire bottle of hot sauce into the creamy tomato soup, and everyone's hungry.

[Jack Skellington]

I'd spill an anesthetic on the drinks, so they wouldn't notice.

Your Dad is driving you insane by asking you to apply to every university on planet earth, and you have already been accepted to a good university that you want to go to in Louisiana, but he uses the crime rate as a reason to not let you go there, and then you get accepted to another good university in Indiana, and he uses the financial crises as an excuse to not let you go there, until your sinking deeper and deeper into delerium. True Story...lol

[Escapay]

I'll rob a bank (and not get caught), then use the money to move permanently to whatever university I want to go to. Plus, with the extra money financial issues won't be so bad in Indiana, or I can pay for a bodyguard to protect me in Louisiana.

You hire someone to clean your chimney and in the process, a body falls out. It's an old man in a red suit, and based on the rate of decay, looks like he's been in there since late December.

[Jack Skellington]

I'll say something like "Oh that's just my Grandfather, he loves chimneys so much, that he asked us to make it his final resting place ! ", then I'll throw him by the lake, once the chimney guy leaves.

You take a younger relative out to the mall and he/she can't stop picking his/her nose, and you're really embarrassed.
