Hypothetical Fun » Group


As parents we all need to have a bit of fun, so that is what this group is.

Make up a hypothetical question, as rediculous as you like, and see what sort of answers you get.

The rules are:

  1. No one is wrong. Questions and answers are to be fun, no putting someone else down
  2. Use a situation you have been in, and see how others would have reacted if they had been in the same.
  3. Have fun! That is what this group is about!

To keep or not to keep...

by lillkatherynComment Published at 15:2515:253 comments3 comments11 Visits11 VisitsReport

Ok, you decide that you want to get a new car.  Well after lots of looking you see a really nice SUV.  Fully loaded, leather seats, GPS, the works.  Its just at the tops of your price range.  You take it for a test drive and fall in love with it.  After thinking 2 seconds about it you decide to purchase the car.  You go to the finance officer and begin to do all the paperwork and all that good stuff.  They hand you the keys and off you go!

Well about a month later you are looking for the bill for the new car and notice it had not come.  So you wait another 2 weeks, maybe they are just delayed on when you make your first payment.  Two weeks go by and still nothing.  You give the dealer a ring to find out the loan company and they say it's thru their office.  So you call the office and they say they have no record of your loan.  You give them all the information, and they still can't find anything.  So you hang up and call the dealer back.  You tell them they have not record at the office.  the dealer goes to look your information up and they have not record either.  In fact they can't locate any of your paperwork....

Then a week later you get the tags for the car and the registration comes with your name on it....

So what do you do?  Do you keep the car, cause now they have no proof that you bought it from them, or how much you owe, or do you take it back?

Do tell, Dont tell?

by AmerlinwingaComment Published at 07:0107:018 comments8 comments35 Visits35 VisitsReport

You are married or have a partner and you DON"T play tattslotto, deside one day to buy a lotto ticket on your tavels out of the blue and forget to tell your partner.

Monday Comes and you find out that you have won 2 million dollars, Do you tell partner? Do you tell him/her the half truth like only won a quater of the amount? Do you take the money and run?

What would you do??

This happened to someone i knew and i cant believe she sat on the money for a year without spending it, and planned her get away plan with her money lol now living in france with her children... forgot to mention she took the kids out of school early one day and drove Straight to the airport..... Left a note for hubby saying sorry had to leave and still didnt find out about the money till a year later,after she left.

Oh Rats!

by ArnaComment Published at 03:5903:596 comments6 comments27 Visits27 VisitsReport

You have been plagued by rats, not that there is a great food supply in your house for them.  Slowly, using traps, you are winning the battle.  Until....

The one rat you are really after, because she has been breeding very quickly, springs the trap.  You go and check just to make sure she hasn't sprung and run.  Carefully, you get down and take a look.  There is the trap sprung, without the rat in it.  You start thinking that she has gotten away, then you see her.

She is laying a little way of, stunned and breathing funny.  She has been hurt, but not killed.  You know that you have to do something, and using rubbish bags as gloves, take the rapidly recovering creature outside, where she starts running in circles.  You watch her struggling to walk and breath and it breaks your heart...

Where do you go from here?  What is your next move?  Is it cruel to just leave her?

To crash or not to crash that is the question.....

by JessgoreComment Published at 18:5518:553 comments3 comments20 Visits20 VisitsReport

Ok a couple is getting married in Jamaica..  They have said they are not inviting anyone to the wedding... 

Husband wants to crash it... 

I told hubby they were not inviting anyone. Hubby says that sucks I am going to talk to them. I said leave it alone. He said nope we are going to crash their wedding.. I said if we crash it we leave them alone the minute the I do's are said and we are not staying at the same place as them.. He says sounds good. 

So the Question is,  If your friends said they were not inviting anyone and you are pretty much 100% sure that the only reason they are not inviting anyone is because they think it is rude to ask people to pay come and see them get married then ask them all to go their seperate ways because they will automatically be on their honeymoon as well, would you crash the party??????

Also as a side though, some time ago while my friend was thinking of how she wanted to get married she did ask me if we would go if we were invited.. I said if we could stick Francis somewhere loving for a week we'd do our best to be there for them... And she had said at one time or another that if they were going to invite anyone at all it would be us.  (being that the four of us are very close and concider each other family.) Of course this was all said while fantisizing about how she wanted her wedding. Now it is actually going to happen I don't really want to crash it if she really does not want anyone there. But hubby and I are finding that a little hard to believe.  You have to  know the couple to understand what I mean...

Anyway what would you do... Keep in mind the only issue would be trying to find a place for a two year old for a week.. (My hardest part would be leaving him for a week, but I think I can, I think I can I think I can, I hope I can... )

Mystery Cheque

by ArnaComment Published at 06:1306:137 comments7 comments25 Visits25 VisitsReport

You have received a cheque for a fair amount of money from your birth mother.  Now, you are greatful to her, but wondering where she got it from, as she has struggled financially all her life.  Any way, You have been told to buy something special for each family member, and put the rest aside.

Would you buy one thing for each, like a doll, game etc, or would you buy a good camera that everyone, including your mum, will benefit from?

move or not?

ok  heres the sitch....
u live in a house in a pretty bad neighbourhood, u have lived there awhile now and live in a quiet culdesac so u havent had to many probs u got a bad neighbour a year or so back who made life hell for awhile....

you have decided to move house to avoid any more dramas, you live in housing and are a single parent so the rent is cheap and you can afford luxuries and to do fun stuff with the kids, you have put in for a transfer...

now you have been offered a house to rent privately in the suburb you grew up in, you LOVE it there the house is ON the beach your children can go to the school you went to and its the BEST place ever and u hoped to be able to move back one day.

the prob is the house is privately owned so that means alot more rent and if the owners decide to sell at some point houses dont come up there very often so you will prob have to move back to the bad suburb you are in already and wont get back into housing for ages so will have to rent privately HERE too. all in all you lose the stability of public housing...

so do you move into the private rental in the suburb you love and risk it? or do you wait for the transfer and see what housing give u and make the best of it ?

picture this..... you are home on a raining saturday afternoon lazing around with your children.... you decide to watch a movie and relax for the afternoon you are relaxed and chillin on the couch when you hear ratt tatt tatt at the door.

 you reluctantly answer the door to tell whatever visitor to go away lol
before you stands a large ethnic man holding a folder you sigh inside.....he proceeds to tell you the phone company he is from and their deals while you think of how you put yourself on the do not call list and ponder how you can get rid of him before you miss the plot of the movie.

you tell him you arent interested and you are busy watching a movie with your child..... THEN he asks to join you!
you blink unbelivingly and ask pardon?thinking you must have misheard.

 he repeats can i watch the movie with you... after telling him quite forcefully no he cant he then asks if he can call you later on... you repeat you are happy with your ph company he then says he doesnt want to call about the deals he just wants to talk to you! you slam the door.... what next?

Well, I finally have a group! lol.  Take your time and come up with a weird question and then sit back and see what answers you get.  I'm hoping that this will be a fun place for all and that we can share some of our insanity! lol.

So, who's going first?  Not me!  I'm going to finish up and crawl into bed like a good girl! lol.
