JobInterview Question
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.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there
could only be one passenger in your car.
Think before you continue reading. This is a moral/ethical dilemma
that was once actually used as part of a job application.
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 this would be the perfect
chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find
your perfect dream lover again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble
coming up with his answer.
He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend, and
let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for
the bus with the woman of my dreams."

Aww, that's sweet :-) I wouldn't have thought of that, most likely, but now if I'm ever in that situation, I'll be able to do the right thing.
If I'd been asked that question...not thinking of this solution, I would have taken the old lady to the hospital as quickly as possible, then tried to ride back to get the old friend who once saved my life, if that's allowed. The problem with my answering this question is, the perfect man I've been dreaming about once saved my life--he took me to the emergency room and stayed with me for several hours.
But repaying debts trumps love, in my eyes.

Frankly speaking, first of all, I shall prefer to save my own life in that wild stormy night, instead of giving lift to anyone of them since I am not a good driver at all.

The old lady is...old and, anyway, and she is almost dead.
The guy who saved my life once is strong enough (this is how he saved my life; he can handle it).
I'd choose the woman of my dreams.
Oh, yeah, I forgot: I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PERFECT ANSWER.
