Hot Seat Question #4

Welcome to the Hot Seat! Each week, I give you a situation to ponder. Some will be silly (this is me, after all). Some will be serious. Some will be though-provoking (but not many... I mean come on. You know I can only go so deep). I am going to give you several possible responses and you can choose one, or of course, leave your own. It's just a fun little social experiment and a way for us all to get to know each other.

Now, here is your fourth scenario:(this has actually happened to me...)

You are strolling through a parking lot when you spot a fifty dollar bill lying on the ground. There is a group of people walking a few feet in front of you.. did they drop it? It looks like it's been there awhile. Do you ask them, or just take it? What do you do?

a. Woo hoo! Free money! Grab it and run directly to Target.

b. Ask the group of people in front of you, who, of course, say that yes, they did drop it. They snicker amongst themselves and you are left feeling like they were lying and just took your free money.

c. You conscious will not let you pick it up.. it feels like stealing.. what if someone comes back looking for it?

d. Stalk the money for a few minutes behind a car to make sure that no one is playing a trick on you...(like the ones on TV where they attach fishing line to it and you are left chasing the fake money through the parking lot.Then Howie Mandell jumps out and laughs at you.) Slowly and casually, you saunter past the money and try to look shocked. Say very loudly "Oh my, fifty dollars!! I better hurry into this Starbucks and see if anyone lost it!... If not I will donate it to poor starving children in Africa!" and then walk off, pretending to pray.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
