Elevator has a dirty, unshaved looking bum carrying a well used paper bag, would you get on, and .....?

Question

Your reaction when you later learn the bag had $50,000 in diamonds?

My late father-in-law delivering to a manufacturer of commercial cutting tools. Then he joined the CEO in the executive dining room for lunch. He worked as a daytime janitor but was the "worst" looking employee and the best for all deliveries.

Answer 1

Sure I'd get in and then Id's offer to hold his bag :-)

Answer 2

Before I read the rest of your question, my answer was I would offer the man twenty dollars for a nice warm meal and maybe a clean paper bag. I never ignore those in need and if he indeed had 50,000 dollars in diamonds he probably needed more help than most. Claire

Answer 3

Nope. Wouldn't get into an elevator alone with a man I don't know ever. Wouldn't matter if he was a brad pitt look alike.

It wouldn't matter if I knew ahead of time that the bag was full of diamonds.

Answer 4

Ther is some truth in the idea that rotten looking people do better with deliverys and collectoins. I use bikers from a local club for my collections. The fear factor has a large sucess rate.

Answer 5

I get on elevators with skanky people all the time and do not bat an eye.

Even if he had diamonds in the bag, it would have no bearing on me. I would imagine he stole them.

Answer 6

If I was with my children maybe not, alone no prob . The diamonds belong to him not me why should I care.

Answer 7

i would get on. my only reaction would be why did he have the diamonds. my logic would tell me as a distraction for diamond thieves.

Answer 8

Coulda told ya don't judge a book by its cover.

Answer 9

I think it's a clever disguise so he won't get robbed of his valuables.

Answer 10

Offer him a makeover.
