Cursing while falling downstairs is likely to be viewed as “involuntary” and thus less humiliating.
Drive in freeway traffic (lots of cars, 50mph) behind or in front of a driver who appears to be using his commute time to update his Facebook?
Behind him. That way, I could slow down, allowing other drivers to get between us.
A long commute in which you’re constantly moving, or a shorter stop-and-go commute (assuming the times are equal)?
Constant moving. Stop and go makes me queasy.
500 free monthly minutes on a cell phone that never has to be recharged, or unlimited free minutes on a cell phone that has to be recharged after every hour?
I only use about 8 of my current 450 minutes, so I’ll take the extra minutes and never recharging!
A cell phone that, whenever you turn on the screen, starts at 1% brightness and you always have to manually adjust the brightness
or
A cell phone that, whenever it makes any sounds, takes 15 seconds to get from zero volume to the volume you set.
They’d both be really annoying, but I guess the second would be slightly better.
Be widely known among your friends to be related to Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin?
All in all, I’d have to say Putin. An external threat isn’t as dangerous as an internal one.
Live your life in poverty, but healthy, or wealthy with health problems?
Give me poverty ~~there is no price for health~hands down
You work for the~~ FBI OR CIA
CIA seems a bit more exotic and interesting.
Would you rather work for SHIELD or Men in Black?
MIB, too much fun in the Tech Dept.
You can have your very own Island, complete with boat & plane~~or~The high rise condo, complete with chauffeur
The condo. An island would be fun occasionally, but I could live in the condo *all *the time.
Would you rather give up raspberry or strawberry?
I’d rather give up strawberry.
Would you rather work for Apple or Microsoft?
Apple
Give up beer or wine forever?
I drink so little of either, but sometimes I cook with wine, so I’ll give up beer.
Give up fruits or vegetables forever? (For the purpose of this question, use the culinary definition of vegetable, e.g., tomatoes and cucumbers are vegetables.)
Wow tough call I’d give up fruit, but I wouldn’t like it
Would you rather exist in 100B.C. or 1850
- At least some technology was around then.
Live in the roaring 20’s or the swinging 60’s?
I already lived in the 60s, and I’d rather go back than live in the 20s. For one thing, no air conditioning.
Live in Syria or North Korea?
Ugh. Each is unappealing in its own special way. I think there are still parts of Syria that are safe and livable, but all of NK is under a tyrant’s thumb, so… Syria it is.
Live, in their prime, at Pemberley or Manderley?
Manderley. If one is to live in opulent splendor, it should be in castle. And any castle worth its’ salt must have battlements.
charcoal or propane?
Charcoal. Propane doesn’t give the same flavor to the meats.
Work in an office or in a cubicle?
Ooooh, an office. With a door. That I can close and keep out all the noise. Mmmmmm, I dream about this every day.
You find yourself in the left-turn-only lane when you want to make a right turn. Do you interrupt four lanes of traffic trying to merge over to the right lane, or do you go around the block and try again?
