You are driving along in your car 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 looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect man (or) woman you have been dreaming about.
There can only be one passenger in your car (as your driving a nice little black sporty number!) and you can't return to the bus stop once you have left it (I don't know why, it's just part of this stupid question!).
Which one would you choose to offer a ride?

I like the perfect answer by natty lea
"I would give the car keys to my friend and let him take the old lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams"
but if your friend cant drive or doesn't have insurance, that's not gonna happen. Then Id take the old lady to the hospital, letting the friend and the guy help her into the car and contact friends or family.
slip them your mobile number and take theirs to exchange updates.. :-)
why? friend would support you, and the guy may be impressed.. THEN you look him up later or wait for his call. If hes that perfect, he wont let that opportunity go by

The man because I could live happily ever after. (I am proof of that. I have been married to my husband for 28 years) I had to decide years ago to leave my mom and go with( my then boyfriend that I had loved for 9 years) or stay with my mom who was in a rest home. If I didn't go with my then boyfriend I would have lost him forever. My mom had Lupus and was dying. It was a very rough decission but I chose to go with the boyfriend.I went back and visited my mom before we moved far away. Mom has been gone for 25 years now and I married my boyfriend some 28 years ago. I am still with my man of my dreams.However there is no such thing as a perfect man or woman. The only perfect man that ever lived died.

Well, I can't drive, so they would be better off out there, but if the little old lady seriously did look like she's about to die then I'd offer her a lift, my friend would understand and I'm already with the man of my dreams *swoon*

The old lady
The old friend who saved your life is on you ear every day telling you and everyone how he saved your life and will never let you forget the fact of his good deed
The partner of your dreams often turn into a nightmare in reality, which is why there are so many divorces.
So I would choose the old lady

I read this online - it's a great answer that somebody else gave to the same question, and I don't think it can be beaten. ;-)

I would contact 999 for the old lady, so i will have a clear conscience. Pick up the friend who saved my life and ignore the nr three, you dont know if they are perfect or not since you have not met them yet and like someone else mentioned nobody is perfect.

The old friend who had once saved my life.
I think it would be the least I could do. I would feel bad about the old lady, I wouldn't think twice about bypassing the perfect man - you can never judge a book etc...
Yes, definitely, the old friend.

Number 2 - the old friend saved my life so return a favour with a favour.

I would pick the old lady out of respect for my elders. My old friend ought to understand and if the perfect man is really perfect, then he would offer his seat to the old lady anyway.
