stopping and thinking

Job Interview 'Killer Question'
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. 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 man (or) woman 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 dream lover again. The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer.

What did he say?
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 woman 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."

[angel21]

hello Jimbo x

[PeasAndRice]

i really like that, im sooooo using that....no sarcasm either.....do you have any more pearls of wisdom like that?

[4getmenot]

I wonder if she ever thought about that poor lady and what she might have been thinking or feeling when she spoke to her on phone other day. lol

Thinking outside the box (technically it's not), I would call the ambulance to pick up the old lady, give my old friend some change for the bus and save the passenger seat for the lady of my dreams. Simples!

[PeasAndRice]

id straight up pick up teh girl of my dreams, what has teh other two done for me?

[PeasAndRice]

yeah while the guy you saved gets to smash some hotties back doors in....

[johnny7]

The guy who was given the job interview question should have actually not been given it as I'm pretty the old friend would not have been insured to drive the car, therefore breaking the law!

plus old people hate wearing seatbelts, another felony
