“I have killed your wife and one of your children, and am holding the other one at gunpoint. He will die unless you find a way to deliver one million dollars cash to me within ten minutes.”

Or, how about, “Everyone you love, including your newborn daughter, has just been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer.”

I’d fear either of those more than I would “let it ride”.
