Title: what do you do?
Post by: sev on May 29, 2012 12:17 AM
i thought it'd be fun to play a what would you do game. each page, someone can come up with a new "what do you do" scenario. the only rule is that there can only be one per page of the thread, so you have to wait a page after one question to propose a new one. (also, feel free to continue off from the previous scenario based on one of the answers, if you have any good ideas on a dilemma that could come after.) ready set go

Quoteyou're buying some things from the grocery store. as you pay, you notice the cashier miscounts and takes a couple extra dollars of your change, quickly putting it back in the register, almost as if he didn't want you to notice. you've been really hard-pressed on money this week, taking the bus to work every morning, and you've recently made it your goal to be really careful with every dime. you glance over at him, noticing that he's kind of an oafish fellow, hunched over with a lazy eye. it dons on you that he completely fits the look of the stereotypical "all brawn, no brains" person, and with his giant hands, menacing musculature, and the fact that his face is appearing increasingly thuggish the longer you manage to get a good look at him, it also dons on you that he's pretty goddamn scary. as you're thinking, he looks at you confused, and says, "what's wrong?" — what do you do?

If it's a tiny store and he's the only guy there:
Start quivering and stutter "Y-y-you misssssssc-c-c-c-c-c-c--c-c-c-- c-c-c-c--c---------------- counted mychangeyoudidn't givemebackallmychange."
Surreptitiously look around to make sure I've got an escape route.
Feel like an asshole for judging this guy based on his looks.
Probably then think "curiously"... not exactly something you'd expect from a real brute.
More confidently ask for correct change.
Get murdered.

If it's a bigger grocery store:
Get annoyed, but politely as possible point out what he did.

Act moe and ask for my change in a kawaii-esque manner.

Always works.

Just ask if he counted the change right. His looking like a thug has nothing to do with anything.

i would go home and make a thread about what just happened, and ask people how they would of handled it, but make it a game so it doesn't seem like it actually happened
