Four persons decided to go into silence for one week. A few hours passed, then one said, "I wonder whether I have put the fire out in my house or left it on."
The other says, "You fool, you have spoken! And we had decided not to speak."
Third said, "What do you think you are doing? You have spoken too!"
And the fourth said, "I am the only one who had not spoken yet."
I think I am much more like the first one. I can't stop worrying
I JUST WANT TO HAVE SOME FUN AFTER A HECTIC DAY. HOPE YOU DON'T MIND.
THANKS GUYS

This one is hard for me. I could think about it a long time. But the truth be spoken. I am never sure if I turned off the stove. But aside from that I would probably be Person Nr.3. Ridiculing one and thereby making the same mistake as he does

I am neurotic. I'm the first one. When I'm leaving the house, I have to check twice that the doors are locked. People don't understand. I worry. I second guess myself. Did I turn off the stove? Did I feed the cats? Did I lock the door? & it always turns out that I had done it, but I still never feel sure of myself because I'm so distracted all the time that I don't remember what I've done! Plus I never really feel secure! Anyway in the example you've given I'd rather be a neurotic leader than a critical follower!

I would be the secret fifth option, the one who stays silent, rolls eyes, and thinks I am surrounded by accident prone idiots. I would also keep thinking, so four people on the did I leave my fire on problem, hmm, how many silent idiots does it take to figure that out? I would then break my silence as I laughed and everyone around would look at me thinking whats so funny? I will admit it's a little sad to be the only person in on a private joke, but thats life sometimes.

Hi there, I agree on having fun there. Anyways, I'd be the fourth one.... I am one of these people that are addicted to being right and making sure everyone knows it. I am even willing to go as far as being wrong -saying "I've been quiet" would suffice in your example- just in order to prove myself to be right over others.
Sad but true.

I'd be the blind def guy in the corner of the circle flicking a bic and smiling from the warmth of the flame near my face.

Yah, I'm going to have to go with the first one as well. I worry way too much, especially when there is nothing else going on to occupy my mind.

I am like the fourth one, except I would have just thought it.

Me I would go with the second one. Or the last, I am normally like "Hey I thought this is what was going on, why are you changing it now?"

either 2 or 3. I can't let people make mistakes and not point them out. That is how I make most of my mistakes.
