This was an actual "test", if you will for job applicants:
You are driving a very small car on a horribly wicked stormy night. You pass a bus stop. There are 3 people waiting
a) an old lady who is about to die,
b.) an old friend who once saved your life,
c.) the perfect mate you've been dreaming about.
You can only have one passenger-who will you choose?

I would let the friend drive the old lady to the hospital..and get together with the 'perfect mate' at the bus stop.

I would have to say the old friend. Friends are so very hard to come by.. they stand by you through all things in life, they are patient when necessary, honest when asked, and always happy and willing to help and if he/she had not saved my life I would never have been around to see the perfect mate.
When I read the old lady, I thought.. maybe.. but her time here was just about over and it appeared she lived a long life and I am sure there were good times.
The love of my dreams (perfect mate), I would also have to pass on.. because if I rescued the friend that saved my life, he/she could be around to help me find that love and perhaps they would even come back and bring that love to me.

I have plenty of freinds......the old lady will die weather i will help her or not ....and i am getting sick of being alone .
so theres your answer...but in a perfect world the mate would be tottally turned off by my selfishness. the freind would be pissed that i chose a women over him . and the old women would be on my mind the rest of my life.
what a loaded question .

The elderly woman. Who am I to determine it is her time?
My friends would do the same, so they would understand, and I always carry a cell phone, so I could call for someone to help the other two.
I could also have the person I called get my dream man's name and phone number for me. It isn't always about me.

I would get the old lady. She shouldn't be alone out in the horrible wicked storm at her age. My true friends would understand that cause they know it anyhow what I would of done!! They probably would of told me to take the old lady as well. As for the perfect mate that I been dreaming about if it was meant to be it would be. Just cause I been dreaming about doesn't mean we would be compatiable. Or I could of told him to sit the old lady on his lap....2 for the price of one? *just kidding*

I always carry a cell phone....
I'd call the hospital to send an ambulance for the old woman.
I'd call another one of my friends to pick up my friend and wait until they got there.
I'd take my perfect mate home.

KyKy has the best answer...
but if I was driving and saw the "Perfect Mate" (aka Eva Longeria).
then I would have lost control of the car, run up on the sidewalk and over the other two...
leaving only 1 for me

Offer the "old lady" a ride contingent upon amending her will while en route to her desired location.
I know

I would choose option C.
Give my car to my old buddy so he could drive the sick old lady while I waited with my girl.
It is a bus stop,so I'll get a ride.

There's a couple of you here that would have gotten the job.
Good thing you got one already, Mr Swingpup!
Starlite? Is that a new chain?
