What would you do if....
Hi Ladies!!!
I'm bored, so I wanted to play a little game called "What would you do?" The idea is to come up with weird situations and think of how you might handle them if they really happened to you. I started off with a few, feel free to answer those and add more scenarios! I'm hoping it makes this dreadful Monday go by faster...
What would you do if:
You wake up tomorrow and can no longer perform the job you currently do - you are forced to choose a completely different field of work.
A child from a previous relationship/fling/one night stand of your SO's shows up on your doorstep - your SO was completely unaware of their existence.
You find out that a very distant relative has passed away, and left you 1 million dollars. Your receiving the money is contingent upon travelling to Portugal to oversee this relative's extensive property for at least one year.
Aaaand GO!

Re: What would you do if....
A child from a previous relationship/fling/one night stand of your SO's shows up on your doorstep - your SO was completely unaware of their existence.I would figure out how BF felt about the situation and support his decision. I would try my best to be a part of the childs life if he wished to be a part of ours.
You find out that a very distant relative has passed away, and left you 1 million dollars. Your receiving the money is contingent upon traveling to Portugal to oversee this relative's extensive property for at least one year. I would definitely do it! I would bring BF with me and I would find a way to oversee the property as well as use it as a vacation from regular life. Upon return home, I would buy a house, and sock the rest of the money away to be used to continue my education, and possibly my children's (if I have children).
You wake up tomorrow and can no longer perform the job you currently do - you are forced to choose a completely different field of work.
It depends in what way I wasn't able to do my job anymore, like am I all of a sudden blind so working on a computer would be out? Or I now have to just choose a field other than the one I'm in now. I would search for something new depending on my abilities at that time I guess.

I would discuss with BF and whatever stance he wanted to take would be fine with me. I would really only object to him saying he wanted to no part of the child, which I doubt he would. I would take his lead on it and be supportive about the child.

I would give my notice to work and take some courses in learning Portugese. I would definitely do this though, sounds like once in a lifetime opportunity. I've never been to Portugal either.

I'd continue studying full-time, which I do as well as work full-time. It might help me graduate a semester early so that would be great. If I couldn't do either, I guess find a job with kids, daycare, tutoring, or something like that.

Get myself a cup of tea and put padding around the area BF is for when he passes out. I'd be fine with whatever. He would freak out.You find out that a very distant relative has passed away, and left you 1 million dollars.

Oh yes. BF would stay in school, I'd go over there and keep studying. Get back, we'll both graduate, buy a house, invest in the future. Sounds like a great plan to me

I don't actually have a job in my field right now, but pretending I do I would probably try to get into event planning or public relations.

BF has no past relationships/flings/one night stands but if he had and this happened I would encourage him to be a part of the child's life as well as trying to find my own place in his/her life.

I would do it. It would be an amazing opportunity.

I would go to school to be an esthetician.

We would do what we could to be a part of the child's life.

I would be packing my bags for Portugal!
You wake up tomorrow and can no longer perform the job you currently do - you are forced to choose a completely different field of work.
I would immediately enroll in culinary courses and try out for Next Food Network Star.

"Well hello, Jonny Jr., I've been half-expecting you for years. This is your father, passed out on the floor here. Why don't I introduce you to your half-siblings while we wait for him to come to?"

I would check weather.com and start packing.
(2). Durh. Can I assume the child still has a mother? Make the kiddo some hot chocolate. Or chocolate milk. Maybe bake cookies. That gets SO quality time to go WTF and get to know kiddo... but I can still contribute/panic in the kitchen.
(3).Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Portugal I go....
[QUOTE]1. Considering I'm currently unemployed..well, okay. 2. I'd have a shot of vodka, and pour BF a glass of whiskey. And then we'd deal with the problem. <strong>And I'd consider killing the biiitch.</strong> 3. I'd have a serious conversation with BF, and then we'd probably make it happen. :-)

Fine!
What would you do if...
someone you didn't know walked up and punched you in the face. (Apparently, this is a "thing" now).

Wait, what??
If it was a girl, I'd probably take off my earrings and cutabitch.
If it was a man, I would call the cops.

Posted by rdr716[/QUOTE]
It happened to my stepbrother, who has autism, right here in Kansas. And apparently it happens in larger cities. A bunch of stupid immature 18 year old boys who want to prove they have big pricks. I heard of it happening to a 60 year old guy who ended up dying because he hit his head on the concrete. I can't find a story for it, but I read about that a few weeks ago.

I would run to my car, lock the doors, bust out my cellphone, call the cops, and get down a license plate number.
I would also want to point and laugh and be like, "really, that's all? No wonder you're forced to try to surprise girls alone at night."
But I don't want to get myself killed... so probably just option 1.

I was still a good couple of blocks away from my car. I was so shocked, I yelled at him for being a sicko and then called the cops.
ETA: Unfortunately, I did not get his license place #, because as soon as I pulled out my phone to call the cops, he got in his car and drove away.

I didn't realize this was a thing now but ok....
I would cry and be really upset... and scream at the tops of my lungs "WHY??????????????????????????????"
