Breakfast: Usually a freshly nuked chimichanga or sausage muffin/biscuit, but occasionally a bowl of cereal/leftover pizza/something else.

Fast food drive-in: How far from the restaurant am I when I discover the mistake? Depending on the type of mistake, I may just eat it anyway.

Beach: Hot sun, sand everywhere. No.

Home footwear: Barefoot unless I actually got dressed and went somewhere; if so, I take off my shoes but leave my socks on.

You are a prominent politician, such as a governor or senator. One day, President Trump happens to openly endorse a policy that you yourself support - but Trump does so in the most odious way possible, and for the wrong reasons, and mixes in a massive amount of sexist, racist and bigoted slurs in the process. Then he loudly states to the audience: “And (your name) supports this policy, too!”

  • Disavow any support for the policy
  • Continue supporting the policy

When you came to the plot switcheroo in From Dusk Til Dawn (George Clooney/Harvey Keitel/Quentin Tarantino movie from 1996), your reaction was:

SPOILER ALERT!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

  • All I knew up to that point was that it seemed to be a conventional crime drama, and the vampires surprised the heck out of me
  • I was spoilered beforehand about the vamps, which is why I was puzzled when the first half was a realistic gritty crime drama-kept asking myself “Where are the vamps?”
  • I was spoilered beforehand ABOUT the plot switch itself, so wasn’t surprised by it when it happened
  • I never watched this movie so have no position on it either way

When preparing to board a flight I…

(Assume a traditional airline with assigned seats and boarding groups, not Southwest or similar)

  • Start lining up as soon as the flight starts boarding, even though my group hasn’t been called yet.
  • Stay seated until my group is called, then join the line to board.
  • Wait until the very end of the boarding process.
  • I do something so nuanced it doesn’t fit any of these categories.
  • I don’t fly but I want to vote in all the polls.
