Employment Test

[nivrip]

Here is a question which was part of an interview for a job.

You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night,
when 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 partner you have been dreaming about.


Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that therecould only be one passenger in your car? Think before you continue reading.


This 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 bethe perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.





So, what would you do in this situation?


I will give the answer that was given by the successful applicant later.


Let's hear all those interesting answers.

the old lady


a person who saved your life would expect you to do the favour for the old lady

saving a person life or being single for a while longer hmmmm not really a hard question for me

Questions, questions, questions, flooding the mind of the concerned upright citizen today.

What if you let the old lady into your motor and she did actually die on the journey? Waste of a trip n'est ce pas?

Would the friend who saved your life expect payback? Probably not.

Would the perfect partner you have been dreaming about actually fancy you?

Would any of those people actually want a lift? The bus service could be very reliable.

And this is one of those irritating mass e-mails, no doubt, and probably originated in The States.

Ok, assuming all three would accept a lift, I'd tell the old lady to get in and I'd drop her off at the Hospital.

But I just know there will be some sting in the tail to the answer

Bung the old biddy in the car and strap the other two to the roof.

 

[captain zed]

Thats one sickened Ferrari owner i'd say man

 

[Abarbarian]

Let your mate drive the car to take the old lady to the hospital. Whilst you offer to stay and keep the bit of stuff warm in the old fashioned tried and tested way.

 

[captain zed]

Good answer AB.

That ferrari i mentioned was supposed to go into a different thread. Not sure how it happened.

By Jove, I think he's cracked it

What film is that taken from Flopp's, if any ? It seems familiar.

None that I know of.

Similar line in 'My Fair Lady' though.

OK it's time for the answer.

AB gets the job for coming up with the answer given by the successful applicant (as long as you haven't seen this before AB). Not quite as graphic however - he simply waited for the bus with the partner of his dreams.

I feel the best answer though is to run over the old lady to put her out of her misery, make love to the perfect partner on the bonnet of the car and then drive off with your old friend for a couple of beers. That seems to solve the problem for all concerned.

That's possibly the best laugh I've had for at least a week

Perfect.

Nope ain't seen it before. haven't had a job interview in over twenty years.

Your answer was good if a tad cruel.

 

[Nobody in particular]

Running the old lady over - probably just a bit wrong lol

Interesting theory thought Niv LMAO - I love threads that make your mind boggle
