saturday scruples

1. Your bicycle has been stolen. At the police station you're shown an identical bike that isn't yours. Do you claim it?

I wouldn't now, but when I was a kid I would have.

2. You're standing on a corner. Someone in a car smiles and waves at you. You don't have a clue who this person is. Do you smile and wave back?

This happens all of the time in a small town. So yes I always wave back, why not? You may not know them, but they may know who you are, and are just being nice.

3. You're buying a car from someone who has lost his job and needs to sell. Do you offer much less than it's worth?

Nope I offer less then they are asking, but bartering is a common practice that everyone expects. If I didn't do that I would be a complete morron, but I wouldn't start off at an insulting low price, just because of what I knew.
