The doorbell rings, and when you answer it, you find 8 bags of groceries on your doorstep. You did not order groceries and the delivery person is long gone. What do you do?
Search the bags looking for the correct purchaser/address in order to inform them their order was misdelivered.
Search the bags looking for the correct purchaser/address in order to re-deliver them yourself to the correct address.
Search the bags looking for the deliverer, in order to inform them they delivered to the wrong address.
Bring the order into your home, so you can refrigerate anything that needs refrigerating, while you do any of the above
Leave the order on the doorstep, wait for the deliverer and/or perchaser to figure it out for themselves.

You are in your car driving. For the purposes of this question let’s say you are heading home after work. You are looking forward to getting home but it’s not an emergency. There isn’t someone about to give birth in your car. There is no one dying at your destination. You are on the most direct route but it’s stop and go traffic. You know of another less direct route that is all rural roads that won’t be busy at all. Because that alternate route is longer Waze or whatever you use says it will take you a bit longer to get home. Which route do you take?
I will go the route that gets me home quickest.
I will get out of the stop and go traffic no matter what.
I will take the rural route if it’s less than 5 minutes longer.
I will take the rural route if it’s less than 10 minutes longer
I don’t know, depends on my mood.
I don’t drive.
Some thing else that doesn’t exactly fit one of the answers but I refuse to pick one that is the closest.
I will take the rural route if it will take more than 10 minutes more but not if it takes longer than some specific time I have in my head.
There’s a trope in TV shows and movies where a person is trying to communicate with someone who can’t speak for some reason, so they ask the person to blink their eyes to communicate. If you were in this position, trying to communicate with a disabled person, what code would you use?
Blink once for “yes” and twice for “no”
Blink once for “no” and twice for “yes”
It doesn’t matter; I’d just pick one randomly at the time
Encode the question in ASCII and mentally compute its SHA-256 checksum. If the low-order bit of the checksum is 0, blink once for “yes” and twice for “no”; otherwise blink once for “no” and twice for “yes”.
I’d use a different code of my own design, which I’ll explain in the discussion thread
I needed more work shirts, so I went shopping. One is about three times what I paid for the others. I can definitely and extremely comfortably afford it; it’s just that I’m a cheapskate and my first impulse is to hoard cash regardless of circumstances.
I really like the feel of the shirt, and none of the others feel quite like it, though all are nice. If I keep it, I won’t brood over it or anything; it may sting a little to be reminded of the extra money, but it’ll lessen as time goes on. If I return it, I’d replace it with another that is closer in price to the others. It won’t be the same, but it’ll definitely be good enough for my purposes.
Should I keep the designer shirt?
Sure! You like it and you can afford it. Why not have just one really nice shirt?
Nah; you’ll have fewer regrets that you saved over fifty dollars for another shirt that’s close enough. You could even get an extra with the money you saved!
A story being debated heavily on Facebook right now:
A young girl asked her father if he’d take her to see (a particular Disney movie) if she got straight-As that semester. He agreed. She got straight-As…and instead he took her to Disney World in Orlando.
The father did well - he gave her a lot more than what she asked for
The father did poorly - she specifically asked for one thing, and he gave her another
You, a single person, are sharing a hotel room with a couple. They share a bed; you get your own. But the three of you otherwise use the room equally. How should you split the bill?
50/50 (you’re paying for the bed, and there are just two beds)
60/40 (sort of a mix)
67/33 (you’re paying for room occupancy, and there are two of them vs. one of you)
You are booking a 3-night stay at a bed and breakfast. You have two room options. The rooms are identical, except that one has a king-sized bed and a shower, the other has a queen-sized bed and no shower, just a semi-fancy, jetted tub.
For the purposes of this poll, assume you are traveling with a significant other (even if there is no SO in real life.
