Ok Since #5 ended up a lot more lopsided than I thought, here's probably a better one that might spur more discussion.

Situation (directly from a real situation posted on another forum I frequent):
You walk into a Gamestop store, to pick up Rock Band (full set, with all instruments, retail $160) for the 360 and Okami ($40 retail) for the Wii. You take them up to the register, and the cashier gives the total: $86. What do you do?

Do they ignore parts of reality?

It is not my responsibility to make sure that retarded employees ring up the items correctly. If they ring up items incorrectly maybe they deserve to get fired because that means that they could possibly make many more careless mistakes and end up costing the company even more money in the future. It is their job as a cashier to note the price of items that are scanned and not randomly assume that the price that comes up is correct.

A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

this was pretty much the exact response I had saved up in anticipation to what she'd say, but you beat me to it mad.gif wink.gif
