You are driving along on a wild stormy night. You pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect man/woman of your dreams.

Which one would you choose, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?

You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die and thus you should save her first; or, you could take the old friend because he once saved your life and that would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect dream lover again.
Who would you choose?

I would give my keys to my friend so he could drive the woman to the hospital and wait for a bus with the woman of my dreams.

I would save the old lady because it is a good deed and I NEED to do it. The old friend who once saved me would understand because I am saving the old lady's life. The perfect man of my dream, I will have to let him go because true love rarely happens in a wild stormy night at a bus stop. And just because I dreamt of him does not means he will be the love of my life. What if he turns out to be a jerk?!? And even if he would become my true love, the relationship would not last with the guilt of the old lady's life hanging over us.

Human's basic instinct is to save life. Everything else comes second.

The old lady.

Chances are you will run into the old friend again.
And if the man/woman of your dreams is "perfect" they will understand that saving someone's life is more important than a hookup, and will wait for you to drop off the old woman in a safe place and come back to get the other 2.

i would give my old friend the car to take the old lady to the doc and then wait at the bus stop with the perfect man of my dreams. after all, i wouldn't pass up the chance to meet the guy of my dreams while still being a kind person, thinking about the well being of others :-)

I would pick up the old lady because the friend who had saved my life should understand that she needs a ride first since they had once saved a life. I would not pick up the person of my dreams because that would be a decision based solely on looks and not on personality. So who know if it really is the person of your dreams.

The perfect woman of my dreams.

As for paying back the friend; giving a lift isnt that much of a deal and it certainly doesnt compare to saving someone's life, so other opportunities enough to pay him back.

The old lady; its sad, and I would certainly call for help, an ambulance would be there quick, and other people will pass her as well, but I'd go for the woman of my dreams without hesitation. As harsh as it sounds I value that more than the old lady.

I would choose the old friend who once saved my life. This way I owe him no life debts. I wouldn't save the old lady because she is old and has probably already lived a full life and there is no such thing as a perfect man/woman to be with forever. No one is perfect we all have our flaws, I can find another person to be with.

I'd pick up the old lady - because
she's dying and I would in turn be saving somebodies life which would make up for the old friend saving my life.
Both the old friend and the perfect woman would see this as heroic and it would be a good first impression.
The bus would come eventually.

I would call an ambulance for the old lady and let the other two sit in my car until the bus came. You said it was a wild and stormy night not a natural disaster or anything.
