I'd save Kim too. Then she could make me a sandwich.
Not only does the dumb hoe not know how to make a sammich since she's never had to, but I'd be willing to wager she's also way too dumb to figure out how.

Just mention/create a conversation that you took the "be prepared" from the FEMA/CDC advertisements seriously. And see how many coworkers and friends will say that they will not 'be prepared' and even state they will steal stuff from other people.
Interesting. Just to play devil's advocate for a minute, what if it was you who was starving? Maybe you & your wife in desperate need of food, or maybe medical treatment? I'm not saying you would or wouldn't, I'm just saying desperate people tend to do desperate things. Would you really choose to starve slowly, knowing your neighbor had a surplus of food, but refused to share with you?

Not sure whether to post this in this thread or to revive and post it in the CG advice columnist thread found here https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f19/i-think-id-make-excellent-advice-columnist-another-rant-320113/ but decided on this one because it seems to get more traffic.
Dear CreamyGoodness,
Oh Chieftain of Ethical Quandaries. As I mentioned in the "Things that a Homebrewer Thinks" thread I have an ethical dilemma. (Somewhat) Hypothetically, I have received about once monthly for several months a check from my contracting company for $100 labeled Employee Expense Reimbursement. I have not filled out any reimbursement forms nor spent any money that to me deems the need to get reimbursement. I know I should bring it up to HR, and honestly feel really bad that I would have (again hypothetically) deposited said checks as they arrived. While these monies have allowed for homebrew purchases, I feel I should be honest and inquire as to the reasoning behind said checks. Especially since I really do not want to get anyone in trouble for what may have been an honest mistake. Since I am not one of the people who live check to check I can afford to not receive said check, and can pay back any erroneous amount, should I inquire as to the reasoning behind said monetary 'bonuses', for fear of them being cut off? I mean the last thing I want to have happen would be to be accused of embezzlement (though I am a low rung on the totem pole).
Dearest Regards,
Buzzed and Confused
Edit: Haha, I said 'Pole'
Ethical question. I bought something from someone on EBay ... didn't want the item. He gave me a full refund and told me to just keep the item ,,, Do I owe this guy anything?
Ethical question. I bought something from someone on EBay. The item was ~$130 including shipping.
The item arrived damaged. I contacted the seller. Because of the expense of shipping the item back, he didn't want the item. He gave me a full refund and told me to just keep the item.
I was able to repair the item. I bought some parts and spent a few hours. I did spend some money that I wouldn't have if the seller hadn't told me to keep the damaged item.
I feel like I should send him something, but on the other hand he sent me a broken item to begin with. Do I owe this guy anything?
I feel like I should send him something...
Hypothetical question. You find yourself travelling to a foreign country, where the local currency is very weak in relation to your own. You find out that for a ridiculously small amount of money, say, $1 USD, a person could eat several meals. In short, a single dollar goes a long way.
Is it unethical to tip a single dollar at a restaurant, knowing it is a lot of money for the person receiving it?

According to my waiter cousin down in the deep south, they don't tip down there. Like, hardly ever.
Hey now Elwood .. some of us tip as well here as we would in Crest Hill, New Lenox, or Lockport
Elwood - that's a Joliet town too, no? Where the race tracks are? I was thinkin' Jake and Elwood up top there.

Here's a question:
Is it unethical to keep a stray cat/dog? No collar, no microchip ID, no clues whatsoever as to their owner, but it's obvious that until very recently the animal was taken care of by somebody. You like the animal a lot, maybe your kids like the animal a lot too. The animal is well behaved & seems to settle into your home like it's lived there for years.
Do you take it to the pound? Do you put up flyers? Do you simply keep it & love it like your own? What do you do? What should you do?
