Tell It To Me Tuesday "Philadelphia Story"
For this week's TITMT I am going to step away from music, trivia and list making requests. Instead, I'm going to ask you for your opinion on a scenario. The scenario itself is deliberately vague on details to see what you would do without too much information. On Sunday I will elaborate more and reveal what we actually did.
A few months ago, my boyfriend and I were on our way home from Philadelphia. On the way we spotted a man pulled over to the side of the road. Assumably his family was waiting in the car. He was flagging drivers down and my boyfriend pulled over. He told us that his car had broken down and that help was on the way, but that unfortunately he did not have all the money he needed to pay for the tow truck. So he was asking strangers, out of the kindness of their hearts, for anything up to fifteen dollars to contribute to the total cost. He also offered to pay us back if we were willing to give our address to him.
My questions to you this week are this:
1. Would you have stopped in the first place? Why or why not?
2. Are there any factors that would contribute to your stopping or not stopping that would ultimately change your answer?
3. If you stopped, would you or would you not give him the money he asked for?
4. If you gave him the money, would you supply your address?
5. Does time of year or time of day effect your answer?
I am going to use Mister Linky as usual, but I understand if this week doesn't get strong blogger involvement in that way. Like I said, it's an experiment. All good experiments involve a little bit of risk, right?
If you are participating on your blog, the rules are simple:
1. Answer this question ON YOUR BLOG and THEN link back to it via the box below.
2. Leave a comment letting me know you played along.
3. If you are interested in adding the box to your site, please visit Mister Linky.
4. If you have any questions or you're confused just ASK!
